We spent 5 nights at this hotel and were very pleased with our stay. The rooms are large, en-suite, clean and great value for money. Hot water available at all times and friedmly service from the family running the hotel. Free wifi that works well in the rooms. Very good, quiet location, just 3 min walk from the best restaurants... More

We stumbled across this hotel as we were not happy with the one we were staying in. Great, friendly owners who made us feel welcome straight away. Very clean, airy spacious rooms with a great supply of hot water. The hotel is also very cheap, as others in the area charge a lot more for the same facilities. If going... More

Waking up with Machapuchare behind the window- what else could I wish? Nice, clean, welcoming... Stunning Himalaya views from rooftop, or rooftop rooms. Very nice owners, able to arrange everything you need- trips, rent a motorbike, tickets... Location 2 minutes from Phewa lake. Very good (pretty cheap) prices. Price/service ratio- excellent.

after coming from India we felt in hotel Diplomat like in heaven. Owners very hospitable, nice and always ready to help. Rooms clean and spacious. Price very good. The owner arranged for us trek permit, motorbike rent, bus to Kathmandu and so on. It is located maybe 50 meters off the main road thus close enough to the everyday life... More

You can find easily the same room and price around hundreds of hotels at Pokhara, some places with nice garden, some places new built and mordern furniture BUT, I chose here. 1) Kind owner. When the family gather to play guitar, they look so happy. They keep the house clean everywhere, even in bathroom. 2) Cosy and private room. Good... More

For the very reasonable price you get spacious rooms, clean linen, hot water for showers and fans to circulate the air. Some rooms have great views of snow-capped mountains and its accessible location at one end of Pokhara's main shopping & dining street, just a stone throw's away from Lake Phewa makes this a very good choice. The owner, Mr.... More

Don't be put off by the dodgy signage at the road because this place is fantastic. We stayed for 5 nights and enjoyed chatting with the owners who are very friendly and helpful, they also organised some paragliding for us at very very competitive rates without pushing it on us, which often happens at other hotels. The double rooms are... More
