“What stands out is the care shown by the team; stories abound of staff going the extra mile, even assisting with lost belongings and police matters, while the on-site cafe provides a breezy lakeside perch. The rooms offer lake views, and the location allows easy access to local restaurants and attractions, and the staff readily helps to arrange tours. I find it a genuinely supportive base for exploring Pokhara.”
