The property is absolutely out of pokhara and very close to nature. To reach this place is tough but once you reach it, you will enjoy it. Awesome beautiful property. Nice polite staff and ready to help always. The swimming pool is superb. Over-all very happy
I stayed here for 1 night then left to hike and then came back for another night. One of the most impressive hotels I’ve stayed at anywhere in the world. Professionalism is 10/10 from the security guard to the restaurant waiters to the receptionists to the manager Rozeena. Everybody was just going out of their way. Food was great (I had the chicken tandoori), the hotel has a genuinely good aesthetic with the pool and the lake view. The location is great (ATMs right nearby). The rooms are clean and neat. Hot water ran fine. Bed was soft. Live music in the restaurant. Great guard dog (golden retriever). My final day activity ran over time and they even let me check out a little later after notifying them in the morning. Big breakfast buffet that also runs pretty early so was able to get it both days. They have their own airport shuttle too which was cost effective and easily arranged. Pretty much every box ticked. Would highly recommend if you’re visiting the area and I will definitely be back when I visit Pokhara again.
Security personnel proactively greeted us and took our luggage to the front desk. Manita at the front desk was very welcoming, and we extended our stay for two more days. Although the breakfast was mainly Western food, I, being accustomed to Chinese food, found it acceptable and satisfactory. We plan to visit Lumbini, and if we return, we will definitely choose this hotel again.
Pros: You can see the Fishtail Peak from your room/hotel rooftop on the mountainside. You can enjoy the sunrise alone, but it takes more than half an hour to walk to the observation deck. The hot water is very hot. The breakfast is good.
Cons: The waiter is perfunctory (they are evasive when asked about the sunrise time). It is far from the lake area and you can only ask the front desk to call a taxi. The price is about the same as going to the airport, and the hotel’s taxi call is more expensive. There are only two shuttle buses (10 am and 4 pm) and it is not free, with an extra charge of 1500.
A calm and beautiful hotel in Pokhara. We really liked the design of the hotel with a bright and airy staircase leading up to a bar area with pool (in summer) and rooftop sitting area. Excellent view over the lake. Very quiet during our stay. There is a monastery a 5 minute walk away that offers yoga, meditation and sound healing. The breakfast is simple but plentiful and the barista made coffee was a highlight. Excellent service with a welcome drink and staff to carry our bags. Would stay here again!
It is on the mountain, with great views and not far from the core area. The room is nice, but there is no elevator. We stayed on the top floor, with great views, but climbing the stairs was tiring. The service was very good, and the guy helped us deliver our luggage to the room. The concierge downstairs can arrange a whole few days of itinerary, such as watching the sunrise, flying paragliders, hiking...very convenient.
Perfect hotel to relax after trekking. The staff were so kind and friendly. Lovely peaceful hotel, very quiet, extremely spacious rooms for a very great price. Couldn’t recommend this place more
This resort is such a hidden gem! We were lucky enough to get a sunrise view of the mountains despite the cloudy weather. Aside from the fantastic views, the service at Raniban Retreat was 5 star - the staff were so friendly and always available to assist. The room was spacious, the food was great and the swimming pool was open (in winter!) so I could enjoy a cold plunge! We would definitely stay here again.
The room facilities are a bit old, the head of the bed cannot be charged, and the quality of the small bed is very average. The swimming pool is open until 7 o'clock. There is no twin room in the lake view room but a double bed room. There is a free shuttle bus to the lakeside area, available at 10:30 in the morning / 12:30 in the afternoon / 4:30 in the afternoon / 7:30 in the evening For train times, the minibus has air conditioning.
Very Good
