Hotel Sandalwood

The owner was extremely kind and helpful, explaining each tourist place in Nepal in detail and guiding us very well. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and perfectly suitable for families. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Pokhara. The property also has its own vehicles and provides separate travel packages for sightseeing around Pokhara, which was very convenient. The location of the hotel is also excellent and easily accessible.

Location

Great staff, great room with a great view. Quiet (for Pokhara), as it's on a little used side street within the Damside district. Clean and the facilities seem relatively new. It's near the tourist bus park (10 minute walk, less than 5 minute taxi). Lake is a short walk away. Good restaurants & cafes in the area as well ( i can recommend Daura Thakali & Vrikshya). I only stayed one night but will definitely consider it again if i return and recommend it to others. If you don't want the hustle & bustle of Lakeside but still want to be close then this is also a good choice.

Very helpful owner. Facility to pay on checkout via Booking.com. Easy to walk to Lakeside. Good cafes nearby. Near mountaineering museum. Avoids the busyness of Lakeside.

Located in Damside the hotel is close to a range of independent cafes, coffee shops and restaurants. Located within 15-20 minute walk of Lakeside and 10 minute walk from the tourist coach stop. Also a good location for starting your walk to the peace stupa - a route that takes you through local communities. On clear days you can view Annapurna from some of the rooms.
The host and his family were very welcoming and were always on hand to advise re attractions, transport, nepali culture etc.
The hotel was spotless and rooms cleaned daily if required.

The owner is really kind. He helped us a lot with arranging our trekking as well.
The bed was also very comfortable. It’s an amazing value for the price!
The hot water worked well, and the view from the room was beautiful. Thank you!

We had an amazing stay, so much so that we extended it to a total of 10 days. The place is safe, clean and with all the facilities you might need (including good WIFI). The manager has more than 20 years experience in organising tours and treks around the region and he's always willing to help. We also enjoyed the location, quiet but relatively close to everything. We couldn't be happier of our choice! Highly recommended.

I proprietari molto gentili e disponibili, la posizione tranquilla, la pulizia impeccabile, l’ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Assolutamente consigliato

Very clean

I had such a memorable stay here. The host and their family are incredibly friendly and helpful—on arrival, they welcomed me with a fresh juice, and throughout my stay they were always available to assist, even kindly offering to pick me up at night. The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable, with a cozy indoor temperature, a constant supply of hot water, and, to my delight, a perfect view of the mountains right from the window.

The location is very convenient: it’s on the Damside, with the lake just around the corner, and within walking distance of several attractions to explore, including the World Peace Pagoda and Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave. The host also arranged a trip to Sarangkot, where I experienced the most breathtaking mountain views—an unforgettable highlight of my visit.

Overall, this place offered the perfect combination of warmth, comfort, and accessibility, made my time in Pokhara even more remarkable.

Excellent cleanness and owner Mr.Yadu Pokhrel are so gentle man also very helpful person! Overall I fell like family environment and everything is excellent .
