A good choice for a quiet hotel
Pros:

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.

Cons:

No breakfast facilities. Buses manoeuvring at night outside our window.

Nice quiet stay in 302
Pros:

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.

Cons:

Nothing

Best accommodation in Pokhara
Pros:

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.

Pros:

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.

Great value, lovely hosts
Pros:

Lovely hotel, very friendly and helpful hosts, great value. Would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Pokhara.

Cons:

It's in Damside (not Lakeside), so a bit further from main food places, but the flipside is it's quieter and less frantic than being in the centre.

Owners are professionally sincere and friendly.
Pros:

Location is in a side of center which is appropriate for sight seeing tourists. You can enjoy the happening hour of lake side and sleep peacefully back in a room.

Cons:

Lawn and parking space is not enough
