Potala Guest House was in a great central location - walking distance to the tourist bus stop & great restaurants in Thamel & a short rickshaw ride to all the main tourist attractions. Rooms were basic but perfectly adequate - usual standard for Nepal. Nice rooftop area & garden, very helpful staff. Only downside of the hotel is the restaurant... more

The most important plus side of this hotel is its location as its located smack in the middle of Thamel so one can access the buzz of Kathmandu from the hotel's entrance. Its relatively cheap but after staying in much nicer hotels for half the price in the heart of Pokhara's tourist district, Potala's flaws became more apparent. I stayed... more

We stayed at the Potala Guest house for a total of 4 nights and don't have one complaint. The rooms were clean, large, nice outlook over the internal courtyard/garden (but no television in the standard rooms). Bathroom was dated, but very clean and housekeeping were excellent. The staff at the hotel were very friendly, helpful and knowledgable. The location is... more

Stayed in the Potala for one night. It was a good clean basic guest house. No complaints. Be sure you ask for a room at the back of the hotel as I stayed in a room facing on to the street and was woken early in the morning by the dolefule tunes of a snake charmer piping away on his... more
