This is our Luxury pick for Pokhara. It suits couples and families who want a 5-star hotel with facilities on site. The property lists a spa, a pool, a restaurant, a garden, family rooms, free parking, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi.
It is not the obvious choice for travellers watching costs. Some guests feel the rates are high for the standard provided. In a city where well-rated hotels cost much less, that matters.
Location and getting around
The address is Barahi Path, Lakeside. Guests rate the location 9.7 out of 10 and describe a central lakeside setting near markets and restaurants. Some guests mention mountain views, but which rooms have them is not confirmed.
Shanti Stupa, Pokhara is 1.6 km away, about 20 minutes on foot. Davis Falls is 2 km away, about 25 minutes. Bindhyabasini Temple is 4.1 km away, about 51 minutes, which is far, so plan on a taxi or public transport. Walking times are straight-line estimates, and real routes can be longer.
What guests say
The score is 9.5 out of 10 from 281 reviews. On review score, it sits joint 1st of 10 eligible properties in the provider sample. The review count is modest, so keep an eye on recent feedback.
Staff get the most praise. Guests describe a friendly, professional and attentive team that responds quickly.
The main criticism is value. Some guests call it a high-quality stay, while others find it expensive for what they got.
