I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Karura. The service was excellent, and I’d especially like to thank Kritika, who truly stood out with her warmth and professionalism. She was the best! A big thank you also to Narayan, Sorup, and Nisha for their great service. Highly recommended!

I had to leave ! 😔

After two months of traveling, I finally found a place where I could truly rest. Karuna feels like home, calm, welcoming and full of kind people. I had barely finished breakfast and my room was already clean! The hotel is perfectly located with everything close by, yet it still feels peaceful and grounded. I loved all the eco-friendly details, from organic products and reduced plastic to mineral water in glass carafes and handmade solid soaps and shampoos. The happy hour with local tastings was the cherry on top. I left with a full heart, sad to go but so grateful for the precious moment spent here

I kept coming back to the Hotel Karuna between my different activities around Pokhara. I liked the good and grounding energy in the hotel and all the staff is lovely. The rooms are spacious, the beds are comfy and I enjoyed their breakfast buffet. I would definitely book again

Next to a preschool which is noisy during the daytime on that side of the hotel. Wish there had been some choice of complimentary juice on the breakfast buffet.

Nice breakfast with yummy waffles! Good pour over coffee and choices of fresh juices for an extra charge. Lovely afternoon "happy hour" with local Nepali snacks. Nice lobby area and fantastic staff! Simple hotel but comfortable beds and pillows and good location.

The hotel is beautiful inside, you are met with a friendly smile when you enter. The hotel staff went above and beyond to make our stay great. The rooms are clean with a lovely balcony and the rooftop available. We actually changed our plans a bit so we could stay 1 extra night as it has been by far the best hotel we have stayed in Nepal and the value for money is excellent. The breakfast was delicious with a range of foods. Would 100% recommend

I think breakfast service needs a machine as it’s hard for one person to keep up with orders.

Their street food concept, the aim to be a fully eco hotel, the location - all great.

Hotel is in a great location, nice garden out front and cute lobby area. Hot showers. Nice balcony in our room.

The floor is slippery when it is wet.

The strategic location, near to the main street yet it is still quiet for a stay.The room is clean and comfortable and the staff made extra effort to let us feel like home away from home.

Old rooms, very strange bathroom No shampoo (not comfortable with the soap)

Review We stayed at Hotel Karuna for 2 nights before our trek and 4 nights after our trek and we really loved it here! We had a family room (2 adults, 2 kids) which was clean, spacious and quiet. Shower was hot and never ran out of warm water, even if all 4 of us took a shower. The staff (both male and female) is so friendly and calm and they seem confident in their work and are a really happy and good team together. I mention this because in other hotels I’ve often seen one person bossing other around. The staff can help with booking busses, jeeps etc (we took one to Ghandruk to start our Annapurna trek). If you go trekking you can leave the luggage you don’t need in their storage room safely. There is also a laundry service (very handy when you come back!). Breakfast was lovely: yoghurts, fruits, toast, waffles, Nepali food etc. Everything was very fresh and locally sourced where possible. Coffee was made fresh for everyone in the morning and the masala tea was also delicious. The lounge of the hotel is very big with lots of different places to sit and relax. Also good place to work (fast internet, plugs available), read (they have books), play some boardgames or socialise with other travellers. In the afternoon you can try Nepali snacks on donation basis (whatever you think its worth). The room gets cleaned every day if you want, fresh towels etc. The location was perfect for us: a quiet street but very close to the main street in Lakeside. Many good restaurants around. I would 100% recommend this place to others and hope to return one day with my family. Thank you hotel Karuna ❤️.

Our stay at Hotel Karuna in Pokhara was very pleasant. We were given a room that perfectly matched the description - clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The hotel staff were friendly and attentive, and we even had the pleasure of meeting the owner’s wife, who was exceptionally kind and helpful. Her advice on navigating Pokhara during New Year’s festivities was invaluable. The breakfast served at the hotel was delightful, especially the pancakes, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The lobby area was also a lovely space to relax and unwind. Overall, Hotel Karuna provided a wonderful experience, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Pokhara.

Nothing to complain

We loved the staff and the whole concept of the hotel. It is very child friendly having quite some games and toys in the community room. The rooms are simple, clean and provide you with everything you need.

There was a lot of care and attention to detail. They advertise eco friendly & live up to it. You get a sense that they believe in zero waste & care about the environment. The owner is very hands on & the staff are kind and caring. It’s my new home away from home.
