I arrived 2a.m to an overpowering mothball smell in the room, which nauseated us both and drove us out the next day. My friend did have a few nights in other rooms that weren't so bad, though. We found the mothballs in a drawer. The hotel is in a very bizarre locatiion, inconvenient and plunked in the middle of...not sure where. It is NOT in Lakeside as another reviewer said. Caters to large tour groups. Mediocre breakfast.

Located in the KTM-Pokhara highway, this is a pretentious and oversized low quality accommodation, although expensive, hotel. Views on Annapurna range an Fish tail mountain are commanding though. Every written item in the hotel is translated in Japanese, although no Japanese tourists were present. Rooms are large and get cold during night time, although there is hot water and room service. In general the hotel is a bit tired. It is far away from the lake and the city so transport remains the main problem. 1 internet point available but terribly slow. Food is very repetitive.

This place (NB not the Fewa Palace Hotel) is famous for its lakeside location (down an access road from the main drag). Although its main claim to fame is its breakfasts, it is a hotel and does have 2 types of rooms. The "rustic Nepali rooms" are in fact a block of 6 duplex rooms(upstairs bedroom, downstaris shower & sitting area). Although built close to the lake, there is no view due to trees. I found them scruffy and not very comfortable. They are pricey by Pokhara standards. Not recommended. There is also a two story block of conventional rooms set further back. These are OK for the price, and convenient for the Lakeside (waters edge) breakfast, but I far prefer the Peace Plaza. The layout has changed since the photos on the website were taken, as there is now a public path between the hotel and lake.
