Hotel Karuna

總體不錯，性價比高

We had 5 nights prior our trek to rest and enjoy the beautiful Pokhara. Kelly the owner is around to make sure everything goes smooth and it does! All the staff is smilling and caring! When we got back after 10 days of trek, it feels like home to return for an other 5 days! The breakfast is just amazing, great choice of both nepalise and continental food to start the day! It's a super clean, eco-friendly, safe place near everything! The perfect spot with a wonderful view on the mountains!

We've found our new home-away-from-home in Pokhara! Pleasant, friendly hotel with a chill vibe and eco-friendly focus. If you know the Juicery cafe on Lakeside, it's a similar feeling. The lobby area/hangout zone is a space you can really feel good just hanging out in - waiting for friends, working on the laptop, having a cup of organic coffee, etc. They're really trying to make the hotel a pleasant experience for folks, and you can see that everywhere - natural fibers, plants on the stairs, turtle outside (kids love this), etc. Also, they shared legitimately insightful suggestions for restaurants etc. Yes, every hotel in a Nepal tourist spot is going to be able to set up tours, give suggestions, etc. - but you can trust their recs to be good ones. Location is central, meaning it's not on the lake (that'd be rare, that's all bars/restaurants) but it's only a short walk down the street to the midpoint of the Lakeside walking area. Very easy to get to wherever you might want to go around Pokhara. Only "word to the wise" is that they don't have coffee in the rooms. They do have 24/7 Karma Coffee (well-known organic local coffee) in cloth Melita filters in the lobby area, which is cool, but "24/7" in wee hours means you'd have to wake up staff or make it yourself. Which you can do; it's all set up right there. So it felt kind of cozy in a "make yourself at home" way. But if you want it in your room, maybe bring your own? (You can heat water in your room. The water is in jars in the hallway, which is good for avoiding plastic waste. I liked that touch. Way too many plastic bottles floating around Nepal, so appreciate the thoughtful approach here!) Good price, too! And get this: When we were there, they were experimenting with a "street food" afternoon happy hour, with hygienic yummies like pani puri and jalebi. Hope they keep that up! Such a great idea!

This was my second time staying at the Hotel Karuna, and I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Pokhara. The rooms are super clean and comfortable, and the staff is amazing, and treated us like family. Kelly the owner was so helpful, and made sure we were taken care of. Great Breakfast as well. I will definitely return.

This was my second time at this super clean, quiet and 'green' hotel a few minutes walk from the main street of Lakeside. Small but important touches include the water jug in each room that you can fill at the end of the hallway, handmade soaps and the fact that they change the sheets only when you ask.

This hotel might not look flashy to you from the outside, but the inside is not only flashy but facilitated and comfortable as well. If you don't want to stay in the resort nearby, then come and feel the fascination of staying in Hotel Karuna. It is highly conveniently located with affordable restaurants and laundries. The restaurants nearby include Punjabi, other Indian restaurants, Chinese and local restaurants. There are numerous hotels nearby and all of them are wonderful and huge. This hotel would be considered small and old from the outside compared to the other hotels on the street, but actually from inside, this is one of the most wonderful hotels. Did you know there is a balcony as well? The view is breathtaking because when you open the window you see the peak of Fishtail Mountain in the Himalayas! If you walk a little further outside the hotel, on the street, then you can see the majority of the peaks in The Himalayas. Not too far, is Everest view point! You can see Everest and Fishtail Mountain as well as Annapurna range all located in the Himalayas! If you arrive by 7:00 at the Everest viewpoint then the view you will see would be sensational! You can also pay 100 Nepali rupees and earn a cup of tea on the balcony of the Everest Viewpoint! There are even more startling places near Hotel Karuna and so I highly recommend you to come to Pokhara and stay for as long as you like at the spacious and fantastic Hotel Karuna!
