Pros:

The location is nice, quite close to a lot of places around but on a quiet street.
The girls-dorms is very convenient, only 4 beds and the bathroom is inside the room.

Cons:

Unfortunately it felt like they didn’t change the sheets and they were a bit sticky

I stayed on the first floor in a two-bed room. The place was good, and the owner was kind and a respectable person.

Amazing hostel to relax at between treks!
Pros:

I've been coming and going from Pokhara for the last 6 weeks and Gaurishankar has been the absolute best place to relax in between treks.

The whole setup here is so organised, the staff are really friendly, great coffee and really comfortable private rooms for a very fair price.

The hostel dogs (Leo and Khali) are so cute as well!

Highly recommend this place to anyone spending time in Pokhara!
