Review – Pushpa Guest House, Pokhara, Nepal

Pokhara is bursting with guest houses, and we looked around a few before settling in Pushpa, as much out of fatigue as anything else – the price and standard of rooms seems to be similar across the board. Rooms cost from 300 to 700 rupees with western en-suites with good hot water showers. More expensive rooms have TVs and nicer furnishing, but as always we opted for cheapest and least cheerful. There isn’t much of a garden to speak of, but rooms are clean and in slightly better condition than some of the other places we looked at, and the location is good (just down a sidestreet south of centre point).

We met some American ladies that had been coming here for the past 10 years and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. We’d have given it more points, but unfortunately the owners tried to short change us twice when we were checking out. Poor show. 6/10
