FEWA PRINCE HOTEL





A short distance from Pokhara city, the Fewa Prince Hotel is a deluxe establishment offering exclusive views of the Annapurna Mountains. A ten-minute drive from Fewa Lake, this property provides absolute peace and seclusion with views of snowy peaks that can’t be witnessed from the dam-side and lake-side. Rooms are modern and spacious and the grounds of the hotel are immaculate, the tiered pool in the middle of the gardens allows guests to cool off during the warmer months. A free shuttle takes guests to the lake-side and also to the airport, and free bicycle hire is provided by the hotel for those wanting to take full advantage of the fresh mountain air.

An excellent hotel with a great location. On one side is the main market and behind the hotel is the famed Fewa lake. Boat rides start from just behind the hotel. They also have a few cabins in the Hotel garden that overlook the Lake. Mikes Restaurant at the hotel offers some excellent contenetal, Chinese, Maxican and local food. We tried some Enchiladas that were excellent.Excellent staff and service; I would certainly wnat to go there again. However, I suggest that "Agoda" provides complete information about the hotels it shows on its website. This hotel has a family suite and we would have preferred to book it for convenience as well as savings. Overall great experience; spacious rooms and basic services available. The view from the rooms terrace is unmatchable but probably that is not true for all rooms. We were lucky to have the rooms falling in the range of 201 to 210.


The pool is roo small and is certainly not a feature that could draw there again. There is no in-room tea/coffee utility (kettle & dry stuff). It is quite at some distance from the city and Fewa Lake and that limits the evening/night life. The breakfast options were limited irrespective of any upper limit. I mean they could have placed an upper limit (as there was no buffet) in terms of amount, say Rs. 300.

Overall the experience is very good and we would want to go there except that now we would explore an alternate before emaking a final decision. The view from the hotel rooms (in range of room #s 201 to 210) is spectacular as bothe Fishtail and Annapurna could be viewed in clear weather. However, I would have loved to opt for a suite but Agoda website never showed it as an option. The very small pool is the biggest weakness apart from missing in-room tea/coffee facility.



Hotel Feature Tip : Spacious rooms & best view of Fishtail & Annapurna
