Gautama Guest House — Hotel in Pokhara

I came for 1 month and stayed for 6. Actually, I got stuck because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but I'm so glad that I choose this guest house for my unexpected, extended stay in Pokhara.||||The room was enormous yet very affordable with two beds. The wifi worked 90% of the time, and it was much faster than I needed. I think some rooms may have issues connecting to the AP, but I specifically picked a room close to the wifi router on the second floor and had a strong connection.||||They provided a padlock to the front door of my room, which was adequate for my needs. They have bars on the windows, so you can even leave the windows open when going out.||||There was a big ceiling fan that helped beat the heat on the really hot days. It squeaked like hell after a few months, but I mentioned it, and they just put some oil on it, and it was silent for another couple months.||||There was soo much hot water! In fact, I would usually have to add cold water because the water was literally so hot it would burn my skin (and I like hot showers), so I'm not complaining. This was so luxurious!||||The room has only one power outlet, so I split it. The power outlet doesn't run off the battery when the electricity goes out, but they do have one light bulb in the room that does run off battery power.||||If you like chinese food, they also operate a restaurant, which has lots of indoor & outdoor seating/common space. There's also a sitting area on the second floor with some tables & chairs, which gets sun half the day. And it's right next to the wifi router, so a great place to sit and work.||||Most importantly, Laxmi, Angali, and the family were just super friendly, welcoming, helpful, and compassionate people.||||My only complaint was that my room was so full of mold that my leather boots and bicycle saddle (and other organic items like clothing, down jacket, etc) kept growing mold. I ended up soaking them in vinegar, then bleach. The mold kept coming back! I guess it's growing in the walls. Anyway, it was monsoon season, so there's not much that can be done. I was offered to change rooms because of the mold, but I stubbornly made the decision not to move. So that's on me.||||Disclaimer: I'm laid-back guest that's easy to please. Dirt doesn't bother me. Cockroaches are expected. I don't need A/C. I've stayed at hostels with no mattresses--just a wooden plank, and I'm cool with that. No soap? No towel? No worries; I bring my own. But I do expect a couple basics that every hostel should have: lockers, a kitchen, power outlets, wifi, and some sort of...

Searching for something cheap to have more for other stuffs and adventure in Pokhara we decided to look for gh under 10 dollars and we found Gautama GH for 5 dollars each room. ||||We are 3 and each has a room for itself. Myself I got one bed, en suit toilet with hot shower (too hot water so be careful) and that's all I need to rest my tired body for the 2 nights were in the lakeside area. ||||The GH is family run with the house of the owner next to it while guest or relatives stay on the ground level. It may not look appealing from the outside but who cares when all you want is a nice comfortable bed and hot shower to wash away aches and pains from walking and...

Peace and quiet guest house. The owner is so friendly and you can see good view and sunset from there. The room is so simple and clean. There's 2 share kitchen available and if you want, you can cook yourself no pay for this. In evening you can visit downtown and see sunset from Lake side. If I come to pokhara again I would like to stay there...
