Hotel Pokharaeye

The hotel is situated far away from the touristy lakeside Pokhara. The view from the balcony or terrace is to die for. The common area of the hotel is like an artist’s gallery. Extremely courteous, helpful and friendly staff including the owner of the hotel, who is more of an artist than a businessman. Breakfast was healthy and very good. We had a wonderful time, felt more like a home stay than a hotel.

The commute to and from the hotel is something to consider. Room sizes are average. Storage is limited. Good accommodation for couples/ solo travellers. Hot water is just about hot enough to have a shower.

Location was excellent, breakfast was good and the owner was very friendly and helpful. We were collected and dropped off after our stay. Potentially amazing views of the Annapurna range and Pokhara town.

We stayed three nights and did not have our room cleaned once, bins were not emptied, tea cups not cleaned. We had to ask for more water, tea bags and toilet paper.

It was incredible. A cross between a modern open plan hotel and an art gallery. We had the best room in the house with windows and a patio door on two sides with an incredible view of the Anna Purna range. We were exceptionally lucky to have clear, unobstructed views with no cloud cover.

Nothing. Once you arrive you are there for the duration unless you have your own transport. You can get taxis but they charge double the going rate due to being so high up the hillside and off the beaten track.

Beautiful view of the Himalaya and excellent breakfast. I really liked almost everything about the property 🙌🏼

There was just this disgusting smell in the bathroom which came to my nose right after arriving. The staff tried to help as much as possible - to sum it up I had to decide if I want to have the bathroom smell itself or a chemical lemon spray smell which really took over the whole hallway. Just not the thing you wanna decide about while trying to enjoy Christmas in Nepal 😬 After one night I was able switching the room and then everything was totally fine. Overall I can recommend this place as long you won‘t get the stinky room ;)

Amazing View and suuuuper nice staff!!! highly recommend it. Don't forget to ask for binoculars at reception. Its an incredible view!!!

Excellent location & Hospitality . Strongly recommended

Location , Staff

Most likely the best place in Pokhara, both in terms of location and excellent service from the staff. The view from the hotel is also stunning. The owner is a very unique person who takes time out of his day to chat and help you with problems that may arise. He even gave us a course in charcoal painting for free!

No complaints.

We have been served by a dedicated & driven hotel staff whom we would like to compliment. He is Sankar Gurung. He welcomed us warmly on our arrival and showed us the various rooms which we could choose from for our stay. He listened to our requests intently and never failed to go above and beyond to check every single detail for us (even without our ask). For example - 1) he helped us arrange a taxi to the city centre and took the initiative to negotiate the taxi fare, 2) he explained to us that breakfast was included when we had forgotten. The hotel is located at the top of a hill and hence the views, both at day & night time, were spectacular. We had a room with a grand view of Pokhara city (love the high floor-to-ceiling windows!) and it was beautiful to witness the sunrise. While the cleanliness in the rooms can be further improved, we are happy with our stay at Pokhara Eye as it was value for money and the hotel delivered to our expectation. It was also a joy to admire the several paintings done by the owner in the lounge & dining area.

Excellent breakfast and excellent services from the staff. You enjoy sunrise view and Annapurna range from your room as well from hotel terraces. You can just spent hours enjoying the magnificent view of mount Manaslu (Macha Puchere or fist tail) or watch it playing hide and seek with floating clouds. Hike to Sarangkot view point from the hotel is quite a challenging hike but rewarding to enjoy the Annapurna range.

It is a bit remote from city centre and Phewa lake side. Even the nearest point of interest Sarangkot view point is about 5-6 km away from the property.
