For the price paid, the value is good. Hot water was always available, the rooms were comfortable and contained lockers, fans and a bathroom, and the WiFi was good enough. The location has a great view, though it is a quiet place, so should you desire a more lively vibe, this area may not be suitable. There is an on-site cafe and the grounds are illuminated at night, and are very pretty indeed, though the cafe drinks prices are obscene. It really isn't that far to walk, so I wouldn't trust the Gmap estimate. Within 7 minutes you'll be on the main lakeside promenade. Again...for the price, this place is very good indeed. Free water is also available and they do have a card machine.

The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. Ranveer dai was my unofficial tour guide throughout my stay. They helped me book tour buses and suggested on which places to visit, restaurant recommendations and even going as far as to talking to InDrive drivers and negotiating on my behalf since I don't speak the language, the staff makes the entire experience very worth it.

If you're looking to stay near Lakeside, this might be a dealbreaker, the place is a bit far from the Lake so the commute is a bit of a challenge

Very cozy and chill atmosphere, beautiful space with Lake-mountains view. Roof top terrace and Yoga shala were the main reason for me to choose this hostel=) comfortable beds and perfectly clean room, bedsheets. Friendly and helpful staff (my bus got late and i checked in at 4 am, thanks for this=)))

WiFi is working good only outside, but still with problems, in room it wasnt working at all. Im working online so it was a big problem🥲 Curtains on beds are really missed, with them will be more cozy and private

Great location, beautiful surrounding atmosphere, great staff. Most friendly and helpful receptionist and staff ever, lovely and great first impression of Zostel. Everything about the Zostel was exceptional. Here zostel also provides yoga classes , I meet a wonderful person Yogi Monty, he helped me in balancing and concentration and give me confidance in different yogic postures. Thank you Zostel was clean, stylish, excellent service in where I had dinner. Food was good and service was attentive and efficient Mrs. Shree. The room itself was well equipped and comfortable. I was very pleased with my stay. I have been staying here for more than one week I hope to be back for a longer visit in the future.🙂

The place is very nice with large outdoor spaces and activities. The views are stunning and comforting for the eyes and mind. Zostel is a little bit far from the lakeside, Pokhara but the walk toward the lakeside is very soothing. View from the room and balcony is worth the price. We liked their staff and hospitality. They are nice, and friendly.

Hot water is very difficult to get in the toilet. Leaking toilet faucets and push shower is very annoying. As well as the power outlets. They are very difficult to use as very often they looses the connection with mobile chargers.

I had a gorgeous room on the 3rd floor overlooking the lake, so beautiful! I loved all the outside space, the yoga space and the chill out spaces. The staff were super friendly, got me a kettle when I requested one and made sure I was super comfortable!

The music they played at night was a little too noisy but I asked them to turn it down by 10pm, which they did :)

Loved the quiet garden area, a nice place to hang out. Nice sized room with a balcony overlooking the garden and beyond to the lake. Good food from the Cafe. An easy walk to the busy Lakeside area, though, I wouldn't walk it after dark as there's not much shoulder.

A bit of traffic noise from the road out the front but, that quieted down at night.

The staff was amazing, they helped you with all the questions you had and just the general atmosphere was very nice. The garden is beautiful and I spend a lot of time there just reading or talking to fellow travellers. Great if you want to escape from the people in lakeside :)

At first I stayed in the female dorm (on the ground floor) and there were a lot of people hanging out at night right next to the window (it was partynight saturday) and since those are not very sound proof, I had a very bad night. Later I asked for a dorm upstairs and it was better.

We were upgraded to the private balcony room when we arrived and it had a amazing view over the lake! Location is a 10mins walk from north Lakeside where there are lovely, chill cafe's and restaurants away from the more touristy southend. Staff were really helpful and looked after our luggage while we went on the Annapurna circuit for 2 weeks. Would stay again!
