3 nights in Tara

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Tara and it is definitely one of our best stays in Nepal this time. The room was super comfy, well furnished and had all the basic amenities. It has a balcony and a window view of the majestic Macchapuchare (Fishtail) Mountain and Dakshin Annapurna. We loved their included breakfast especially the Continental breakfast, and as for the indian aloo paratha breakfast, they could increase the portion to make it as fulfilling as the other one. It's located in a very convenient place, just a few minutes walk to the Phewa lake, and the lakeside road and its lined shops. We did not have to worry about our bus back to kathmandu as they helped us buy the tickets and also dropped us off to the bus stop at 7 am. We highly recommend Tara Hotel for a lovely stay in Pokhara!!

This is the 5th year I've been to Nepal and when in Pokhara Hotel Tara has been my preferred choice. It's a 'hidden gem' with great location, friendly & helpful staff, excellent rooms and facilities and very competitively priced. I believe the prices will eventually increase once other travellers realise what they're missing. This year (Sept - Nov 2018) between treks I'm spending a total of 18 days at Hotel Tara and enjoying every moment.

개인적으로 포카라 최고의 호텔. 비교불가.

포카라 체류(12/26~1/9) 7개 숙소중 최고. 20usd 로 정갈하고 맛있는 조식까지. 침대시트 매일 교체. 전반적으로 매우 만족. 평점좋은 왠만한 호텔 다 가봤으나 다 거품입니다. 역시 한국인 후기가 정확함. 포카라에서 싼방은 티비없으면 500~600, 티비있으면 900~1,000nps이었습니다. 가격이 최우선이면 직접 방문해서 방 확인후(특히 욕실) 선불로 결제하시고, 15usd정도 생각하시면 그냥 타라호텔 가세요. 숙소는 선불하시고 영수증 꼭 챙겨두세요. 2번 후불했는데 두번다 장난질 당했습니다. 특히 트렉오텔에선 처음엔15불이랬다가 50불로.

excellent new hotel, clean, comfortable, friendly

Just had 8 nights in this hotel and we got a great deal for booking early. The room and shower room was new, bed large and comfortable and all the staff extremely friendly. Great position, laundry, grocers, restaurants all on the doorstep. We had a balcony and a side window with a view of fishtail mountain. You can also see the mountain and lake from the rooftop terrace. Simple but tasty breakfast, highly recommend this small, friendly hotel.

Ruhige Lage - Nahe am Phewa See

Freundlicher Empfang, sauberes gut ausgestattetes Zimmer. Rezeptions-Personal sehr hilfsbereit und kompetent. Vom Dach schöne Sicht auf die Berge (Annapurna Region) und die World Peace Pagoda. Frühstück gut. Die Lage gut in einer ruhigen Straße, die zum Phewa See führt und zu den den Verkaufsläden, Restaurants ..., die sich entlang der Straße am See ziehen. Man bietet Ausflüge, vermittelt andere touristische Attraktionen / Aktivitäten. WiFi in den Räumen. Zubringerdienst zum Buspark etc. Fazit: sehr empfehlenswert.

Amazing staff ... and service!

Hotel Tara was a really good at making me feel welcomed and valued. The front desk staff is very helpful for whatever need you have and they do so gladly. If you take the Green Line Bus to Pokhara you can have the hotel pick U up & take you back on your departure day. They can also help you organize your tours (if needed) and make any other reservations on your behalf. Hotel Tara is also located very close to really good restaurants (Nepali & Italian) as well as other places such as laundromat, stores, convenience stores ... You will definitely not regret staying at this hotel!

Average hotel, better places to stay

Breakfast was quite plain, annoying dog barking at everyone that walks by in the morning next to the hotel, we ending up leaving after a couple of days to stay in another hotel down the road and enjoyed it more. It did have a nice viewing area up top but it smelled of urine. It also looks like they are doing some work in the front entrance to make it look quite nice so hopefully it's a work in progress here.
