Hotel Peace Valley

The owner was very welcoming and friendly. He was very knowledgeable about tourism in the area and helped us book a Pokhara tour bus and our bus back to Kathmandu. He also offers other packages including treks, but unfortunatley our trip was too short for it. The room was neat and comfortable. Bathroom was clean and there is hot water to shower in. Bathroom slippers were provided. The view from the rooftop was nice, we enjoyed watching the lake with a cup of tea. It was very peaceful. The location was also quite convenient. It's just off the main road, which has all the restaurants, fresh fruit stores, convenience stores and clothes/jewelry stores. It is also at the start of the Lakeside Walking Path where you can take a stroll right by the lake, also filled with restaurants and bars. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here. I would really recommend it!

Great view of Pokhara Lakeside, and close proximity to it. Room was clean. Narayan and his son were very friendly and accommodating of any needs. There’s a communal fridge and free drinking water. Good price!

The room I was assigned was not the room in the photo. It was smaller and lacked the table and chairs. Music and noise from Lakeside bars and the amusement park bleed up the hill. Not super loud but a little annoying.

Staying here was the most peaceful, friendly and relaxed experience I could have asked for and I really feel sad about leaving. Narayan and his son, Sandesh, are truly exceptional hosts. This is somewhere you could spend a long time and feel like home. Every effort was made to ensure I was happy. They even took me on a lovely day excursion just to ensure that I did not need to pay a travel agency. The rooms are simple but immaculately clean. There is a balcony to drink coffee and enjoy the sun, or the sounds of the trees. It is a 10min walk from the centre of lakeside, a 1min walk from the lake side path. In a few weeks there will even be a yoga studio upstairs for people to practice. Narayan offered to take me to visit his hometown in Chitwan National Park. Sadly I didn’t have the time, but I would love to do this next time. Whatever you do in Lakeside, Hotel Peace Valley is a perfect place to call home.

Nothing at all.

The owners and his son are very friendly. The father made me a thermos of hot lemon grass (from his garden) to help my cold. We rented a room with a view on the beautiful lake. The room had a good-sized balcony where we could sit and enjoy the view as well as the dramatic cloud/mist formation around us when it rained. The hotel is on the hill, at the foot of the jungle (we saw and heard beautiful birds, hawks, and monkeys). We really enjoyed the fresh air. The hotel is only a few minutes' walk from the lake, down a steep path. The hotel also has a shared kitchen, with hot/cold water dispenser and filtered water.

The room is small, equipped with the bare minimum. The bed is too narrow for 2 normal-sized Europeans, the small metal closet is too small to contain 2 people's clothes (living out of a small backpack). The bathroom is so small that you can shower while sitting on the toilet, no proper mat to step out to dry our feet, no shelves anywhere for toiletries, a bathroom light that has a mind of its own: it goes off at the most inconvenient times, then reappears. No water bottles and glasses provided, no coffee or tea and sugar either. Nothing was provided in terms of comfort, the mattress was uncomfortable, and the down needed a good wash. Be aware that the hotel is inaccessible by car. You'll be dropped at the bottom of a very steep footpath. It's only a few minutes' walk to the hotel, up an encline where you'll have to drag your suitcases. When it rains, that path is transformed into a small stream. The room isn't fit to accommodate American or Australian sizes.
