Guest Reviews

• shiros (10/5): -
• shiros (10/5): - 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.
• fawaz (10/5): - Location
• Tyler (10/5): - 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. Nothing.
• James (8/5): A good choice for a quiet hotel - 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. No breakfast facilities. Buses manoeuvring at night outside our window.
• Johannes (10/5): Amazing experience. My wife and I enjoyed a lot. God bless this hotel. -
• Anton (9/5): -
• anne (10/5): Nice quiet stay in 302 - 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. Nothing
• Francesco (10/5): Best accommodation in Pokhara - 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.
• SONGHEE (10/5): - 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! Nothing.
• Arianna (10/5): - I proprietari molto gentili e disponibili, la posizione tranquilla, la pulizia impeccabile, l’ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Assolutamente consigliato
• Maria (10/5): - Clean clean clean
• Maria (10/5): - Very clean
• Nga Wun (10/5): - 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.
• Dr Aniruddha (10/5): -
• Randhir (10/5): I like everything is better . - 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 . Nothing is bad i feel everything too good !
• Abhimanyu (10/5): - “I stayed for 2 nights at Hotel Sandalwood, Pokhara, and had a very pleasant experience. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff were polite, helpful, and always ready to assist. The location is convenient and peaceful, making the stay relaxing. Overall, it offers good value for money, and I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Pokhara. I would love to stay here again.” Nothing
• Prem (10/5): -
• Nur Izlaini (9/5): - The room is spacious and clean and nice Stairs only
• Logan (10/5): Great value, lovely hosts - Lovely hotel, very friendly and helpful hosts, great value. Would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Pokhara. 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.
• Ángela (9/5): -
• Gurung (9/5): Owners are professionally sincere and friendly. - 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. Lawn and parking space is not enough
• YeungChaoI (5/5): -
• František (10/5): - Majitel je velmi vstřícný a milý. Pomůže s výlety, zařídí prakticky vše co si turista vymyslí. Nabízí praktické informace o lokalitě. Můžeme jen doporučit.
• Megumi (10/5): また泊まりたいです。 - オーナー夫妻がとても良くしてくれました。 部屋も廊下も綺麗でお湯もしっかり出ました。 落ち着いたダムサイトエリア滞在がお好きな方に とてもおすすめの宿です。 ありません！
• Mukesh (4/5): Disappointing -
• Chintamani (8/5): Very good -
• Dilli (8/5): Very good -
• Vedenyapina (10/5): The hotel is perfectly located close to the old airport. The owner is very helpful. If I come back to Pokhara will book - A nice little hotel with friendly dtaff No elevator
• Jo (10/5): Exceptional - Clean, quiet and comfortable hotel located at damside (end of lake). About 20-30 minute walk into lakeside tourist hub along eco-trail along lake. Hotel near lots of delicious and cheap local eateries. Owner friendly and super helpful with tours. Family owned and run. Highly recommend.
• Susanne (7/5): Average cheap hotel - Responsive staff and kind proprietor who dropped me at the bus station Pretty grim area
• Hao (9/5): Superb -
• Pasang (10/5): we had a great time and my parents felt much comfort to staying at sandelwood hotel. - accommodation and cleanness is best . none
• Gurung (10/5): Exceptional -
• Wilson (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly and good family services. Recommended who travel over to Nepal. It is much better than 4 star hotel in the Pokhara. Can view the mountain from the balcony.
• Ankit (10/5): Exceptional - Property is amazing considering the price and host is super amazing and lively person.
• Omri (10/5): Exceptional - Best hotel
• Charlotte (9/5): Nice hotel - matches the price you pay - The hotel was nice, definitely matched the price you pay. The room was lovely, comfortable bed and solid wood furnishings. The staff were really lovely, we got the impression they were a family which was nice to support. It is Damside which is more of where locals stay so not very central and you do feel like you are staying in a local neighbourhood which could feel unsafe for some.
• Lucas (8/5): Very good -
• Anil (1/5): Dissatisfied - Hot water not available, the honor disrespected the guests and blamed their integrity and we had to change the hotel due to lack of facilities and respect
• James (9/5): Superb - Yadu the host was great, couldn't do enough for you, the facilities were all brand new, very clean and amazing value for money.
• Joseph (9/5): Great host, comfortable room - Host was very nice, gave us lots of water and even gave us tikka for Dashain. Wifi and AC were good. Beds and bathroom were clean There were a few tiny ants in the room
• Michal (10/5): The best hotel in Pokhara. The owner is very kind and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay here! - Nice and clean rooms. Friendly staff.
• Pokhrel (8/5): Very good -
• Sharma (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dhavala (10/5): Excellent, would definitely stay here again. - The room was very clean and comfortable with great views of the mountains. It’s a bit of a walk to Lakeside but there are local coffee shops and restaurants with very reasonable prices. Most of all the owners were super hospitable and welcoming- they made you feel like part of their family.
