Bhaktapur hotellia

Plussat: Superb location on a beautiful old square. The rooms are comfortable and the staff fantastic.

Plussat: The house, the staff, the food, the location, we love everything about this home.

Plussat: The property is beautiful and best in bhaktapur. I missed my breakfast since I had gone hiking and returned only at noon. The owners offered me complimentary coffee and muffin.

Miinukset: One of the guests apparently drained the water, leaving no water for me to shower at night or early morning (I was going hiking at 4am). However the owners remedied the situation as soon as they realised.

Plussat: This place is simple awesome! Absolutely loved it. The room, courtyard, host, Food...everything was just fantastic. I am so going back to this place again.

Plussat: Excellent location on a big square with an impressive temple. Accessible by taxi. Short walk to Durbar Square.

Miinukset: Beautiful top floor front room with round window can be quite noisy. We switched to a side facing room and it was quiet.

Plussat: the place has cafe and good bakery downstairs and the decoration are beautiful local but nice

Miinukset: from the room i stay bathroom too small not quite uncomfortable to use.

Plussat: The Peacock Guest House is a dream for everyone who is looking for the old traditions of Newari People. A 700 years old house with all the beautiful woodcarving the Newari artist are famous for. Situated at the oldes square of Bhaktapur do choose the „Bhaitak“ room which offers view from its magnificent woodcarving windows onto the square with its temples and life, as well as into the courtyard. The lovely staff is super friendly and cares for you - it is the best room I had in all of Nepal!

Miinukset: The only Con that comes with a traditional old Newari house are the lower cealings and doors. But the Charme of this 700 years old pearl of Newari Art and its perfect location plus the helpful, lovely staff compensated for everything!

Plussat: Perfect location. Relaxing. Good food. Very friendly staff with lots of helpful local information.

Miinukset: Only minor drawback was that we had the lovely front bedroom for 4 nights at the time of a local festival. The room was quite noisy from very early in the morning and in the evening- great views but remember ear plugs if you are lucky to be given this room.

Plussat: The owners are most friendly and helpful and the house is cozy, quiet, with a very nice atmosphere. Wonderful and peaceful time, away from hectic Kathmandu. They make you feel at home. Breakfast is delicious.

Plussat: Very very helpful and friendly family! We had here the best breakfast during our 9 months traveling! Cozy spacious room with very clean bathroom.

Miinukset: There is a wedding/reception place next to the guest house so when there is a party there is music till 21:00. But when the reception is finished it is very nice and quiet! And the garden is very beautiful.

Plussat: It was our first time since our arrival in Nepal that we've had such a warm welcome. Ajaya and his wife made sure we got everything we needed. We got some Bhaktapur information, a wonderful breakfast(!) and Ajaya arranged our bus tickets to our next destination. He really wanted to make his guests feel at home. He actually asked what he could improve for future guests (you guys). Book it!

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: This is a special place. The owners are the nicest people we've met while traveling, they will help you with all your needs, always with a sincere smile on their faces. They even lent us their kitchen for our Christmas diner!!!! Having a good conversation about the local culture with Adjee by the fire pit was very interesting. Breakfast is awesome, the room is very cozy and warm, and the shower is hot all the time. Adjee's information on local attractions and restaurants were very precise and helped a lot. And the early morning yoga class was such a good surprise! If I went back to Bhaktapur, I would surely go back to Krishna House.

Miinukset: All perfect!

Plussat: excellent breakfast, location, atmosphere and cleanliness in room!

Miinukset: The night was HOT and there were no light blankets nor fan. Both are standard in many places and would improve the stay greatly.

Plussat: Our stay was great, it’s a super nice Guesthouse in a good area - everything in walking distance. Good breakfast included and the best Nepali tea we had so far. They are very welcoming with an incredible hospitality. He even provided us really good and helpful tips. We’d highly recommend staying there! Thank you again! Leonie and Prudence (Germany and France)

Plussat: It was so quiet and peaceful place. It has nice buildings, wonderful terrace, and beautiful garden. The owner gave me so useful and information.

Plussat: We were made most welcome and comfortable by our friendly and helpful host. The breakfast was exceptional and we were offered tea without extra charge. There was a seating area alongside the dining room with a wonderful library. We were particularly lucky to be able to enjoy the new year celebrations (in April) which were spectacular and took place in the historic centre of Bhaktapur - a short walk away. There was a good selection of inexpensive restaurants nearby.

Plussat: We spent 3 nights in Krishna House and it was like staying at home. The family is very nice and helpful, always ready ti give good advice and take care of you. The house is beautiful and our room was very clean and quiet. The handmade breakfast was big and tasty.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The location.

Miinukset: The room looked clean but was not when you take a closer look. There was a mountain of dust and dirt next to the bed and ants in the bathroom. The staff tried to be helpful but were only teenagers so they had trouble managing the place. The breakfast was the worst we had during our 2 weeks in Nepal.

Plussat: Breakfast was great. A little slow and no real choice on what was on offer.

Miinukset: No Tea and coffee making facilities in the room.

Plussat: Quiet and super central. Breakfast made on the spot. Staff super nice and helpful. Don't expect a Castle but something plein, cozy and unique

Plussat: very good, got some Nepali food as a bonus to try

Miinukset: nothing, that I didn't like

Plussat: Location is absolutely perfect, few steps from Durbar and Taumadhu squares. Room is spacious and pleasantly decorated, bed is really comfy. Very tasty breakfast and the best of all, incredibly friendly and helpful service from Sanjay, who does everything to make you feel comfortable. The value you get in this place is incredible. Highly recommended!

Miinukset: The receptionist - Raj was looking at his phone all the time and ignored us completely, which was not very welcoming. This was remedied soon with Sanjay’s warm and friendly attention.

Plussat: The staff is very friendly. They were so cute when they served the breakfast and it tasted good too. Different kind of things, tasted not super special but nice! The location was perfect. Really close to Durbar square. (You have to pay the entree ticket for the city to get to the hotel. Let the guy behind the ticket counter make a note at the back of your ticket so you can enter and exit whenever you want while staying in Bhaktapur.) Nice room, nice bed, clean bathroom. Hot shower. There are a lot of expensive hotels in Bhaktapur, but this one had an affordable price.

Plussat: The place The quietly

Miinukset: A problem with the hot water

Plussat: An amazing place with newari arquitecture. Highly recommended

Plussat: This is a family hotel, and they have another wood carving shop. There are lots of wood carving models you can see when you walk into this hotel, which affected me! I loved them very much! typical traditional hand made work! really amazing! I just regretted I didn't leave 1 more day to stay here. I think I will come back to here again.

Miinukset: The flush doesn't work in the toilet sometimes.

Plussat: Fantastic hosts and being so close to Nyatapola Temple was wonderful. My partner is gluten intolerant and they made rice pancakes instead of toast for her. Loved our stay.

Plussat: Great staff, had a nice conversation with him, get to know more about Nepal. Great hospitality, everything is good, great location, delicious breakfast, nice rooftop view, highly recommended

Miinukset: No

Plussat: My second time staying here. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The place is clean and tidy. I'll definitely be back to stay here in the future.

Plussat: Excellent location and views. Nice breakfast. Kind staff.

Miinukset: A bit noisy during the night because of the dogs and pigeons.

Plussat: Kind staff helpful, great location

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Fantastic style, atmosphere, comfort and breakfast. Wonderful hospitality. In the heart of Bhaktapur, very recommended!

Miinukset: everything was perfect

Plussat: Friendly staff. Nice authentic room. Very central location

Miinukset: Shower should have a separation from other facilities.

Plussat: the room so comfortable and big and its value for money to stay here.nearby with the square and i recommended this hotel to stay.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Literally steps from Bhaktapur’s main attractions...loved waking up to the sounds of bells and watch the whole town walking around carrying offerings, on their way for blessings, pujas, etc..might not be suitable for light sleepers to stay in room with streetview but we didn’t mind...breakfast on the roof was very scenic

Plussat: Amazing location. In the heart of history! Between two important squares of Bhaktapur.

Plussat: Location is perfect, staff so friendly, comfortable room and bed, very clean, breakfast really good with amazing views.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Nice location and clean rooms given the age of the building

Miinukset: Mosquitos got us well during the night

Plussat: Nice hotel staff. Good and fresh Breakfast served on the rooftop. Perfect location in the heart of Bhaktapur.

Plussat: We stayed here during Nepali new year and loved it. The hosts were friendly and welcoming, the place was clean and roof top terrace is a great place for breakfast in the morning. Great location also.

Plussat: Dinner with the family was fabulous. The Nepalese meal was very good. Accommodation is basic and clean. Breakfast is good. The area is safe to walk around. Restoration work is still in progress. The royal courtyard and temples are interesting to visit. Stayed for three nights in mid October.

Miinukset: Bed is a bit firm.

Plussat: It is in a great location and hosts were amazing! They actually provided us with Saree to dress up for the Dashain festival to receive Tika! We felt apart of their family and all for a worthwhile cause as they support children with disabilities.

Miinukset: The beds were extremely firm.

Plussat: Fantastic guesthouse excellent in every way would recommend visitors to Bhaktapur to stay in this family owned property just a minute or so walk from Durban Square the breakfast one oh best I’ve had in Nepal.

Miinukset: So welcoming very clean plenty of hot water for showers and as name implies it’s in the the heart of . Bhaktapur

Plussat: We had great two days at the oyo 258 hob guesthouse. The manager, his wife and the kids were very nice people and did their best to provide us a comfortable stay. Good place to spend your days in Bhaktapur!

Plussat: Clean nice guesthouse in the middle of bhaktapur. Belongs to a family that also runs an orphanage for disable some children so with your stay you also support this institution. The owner of the guesthouse invited us to come and stay in her mothers house in Thimi die the New Years festivities. They are just super friendly and nice. I would absolutely recommend to come ab stay here.

Miinukset: Since it is a pretty cheap guesthouse the standard is much lower than in Europe. The beds were pretty hard. But still I'd come again.

Plussat: Staff is amazingly friendly, it was my first night in nepal, they helped me for everything i need. Beautiful hotel in an anciant well restored house right near the entrance of the durbar square. Breakfast is on third floor or rooftop right ver the square. Its magic. Room was clean, practical and super calm. I really advise

Miinukset: Just like everywere in nepal, plugs don’t fit perfectly to european plugs, it works but better with adaptor. Also like everywere, hot watter takes time to come.

Plussat: Friendly staff, historic building, quiet room, direct outside old city.

Plussat: The view from the rooftop was beautiful. We took our breakfasts on the rooftop as it was warmer than sitting in the breakfast room when it was sunny.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Really nice place to stay. The water is hot but there isn't heating system. The breakfast was really good and even the dinner. It's really closed to the most important attraction of the place. Customer care really polite. Suggested!

Plussat: Perfect location

Miinukset: Bed too firm.

Plussat: The hotel is situated on Bakhtapur square. The amazing receptionist helped me in finding everything I wanted, from tourist guide to taxi, bargaining at the same time the best price for me. Also, from the terrace you can see the durbar square better than any other point of the city.

Miinukset: There is no heating in the room. I went in February and it was very cold still. The staff provided me with an extra blanket, so I wasn't cold. But compared to the price, that is ok.

Plussat: This hotel was absolute luxury compared to everything else we stayed in around Kathmandu. It was simple but large, nice, clean and everything in the ensuite worked. It was also markedly cheaper! We were really happy with the location, which is right next to the gate to Durbar square. The roof top area is amazing! Especially at sunrise and sunset. But the best bit was the delightful staff who did everything they could to make us comfortable. From the cup of tea and face cleaning towel while checking in to helping us by calling other companies to organise our shopping, nothing was too much and we really appreciated it.

Plussat: Lovely traditional building with clean, spacious ensuite bedrooms and comfortable warm bed. Nicely tiled ensuite with toiletries. I liked having a desk in the room too as working/travelling. The staff are brilliant and we had interesting conversations about Nepalese history, customs and traditions. The food in their restaurant is fresh and full of flavour! Try the buff starter...yum! We ate at Hotel Heritage one night (top boutique hotel in Bhaktapur) and the food at Khwapa was far superior and friendlier on the pocket. Oh and the location....right on the doorstep of the main square! What more could you want, highly recommend. P.s Also reccomend hiring a guide outside the square, we paid 500 rupees in total for 2 people. They show you different areas of the city in a 2 hour frame. Much better than reading about each temple/monument.

Miinukset: Cold room, however this is normal for December & January and its warm and toasty once in bed. Staff gave us a plug in heater too which was nice.

Plussat: This is a very nice traditional style building just outside the city walls and can look into the main square from the rooftop bar. The room I had was a good size with bathroom but no TV or aircon/heating and on the back - the manager said that the front rooms were too noisy and they don't offer them. Would recommend taking a shower in the evening as there didn't seem to be hot water in the morning. The staff were super helpful and nice. Breakfast was extra 500rp and was fine. Internet was fine but had to switch between routers often.

Plussat: Fantastic situation by the Durbar Square in Bhaktapur. My 5th visit! Need say no more

Plussat: Great location just at the Durbar square, but you will be waked up by the prayers ring the bells at 5 o’clock.. have a good hot shower in the public bathroom

Plussat: Location amazing, beautiful guesthouse and helpful staff

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: I like everything overall.

Miinukset: I dont like the size of the room and the fan was not good

Plussat: I like everything there

Miinukset: Its fine all

Plussat: Beautiful hotel. Great beds and excellent , cozy and fun bar

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great place! Wonderful staff, beautiful building and rooms, and great relaxing garden.

Plussat: Great historical building, great rooms, great service.

Miinukset: It’s not literally in Bhaktapur proper, but it’s only a 5 minute walk.

Plussat: The rooms are beautifully decorated and the beds very comfortable. The bar on the premises is charming and has great food and fantastic staff. All of the employees were wonderful

Miinukset: The wine at dinner is quite expensive for a tiny bit of wine (small pour). If it matters to someone, there are stairs to the rooms and no elevator.

Plussat: Beautiful building and room, helpful staff, lovely dinner.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Being made to feel welcome from the first day. Great hospitality and staff service. Loved the meals, especially breakfast. Well positioned in Bahktupor. Liked the water supplied every day Comfortable, tidy and well serviced bedroom.

Miinukset: Nothing bad about the hotel, it was was perfect. Did not appreciate the very high cost that was charged through booking dot.com. It was far in excess of what I would have paid had I made the reservation myself.

Plussat: I am writing to show our great appreciation from our hearts to your excellent service and generous help when we stayed at your hotel on behalf of my family. There was one emergency that we experienced proving your great efficient management and great hospitality. On 13th, Aug, 2018, I, with my wife and son, checked in your hotel. While in the evening at around 11:00 pm that night, my son felt very uncomfortable and was difficult to breathe smoothly. He had serious asthma and throat swelling which made him hard to sleep and speak. We felt it seemed that he might be allergic and needed immediate medication to relieve the breathing difficulty, so we immediately told the reception the help we needed and hoped the hotel could manage to send us to the hospital nearby as soon as possible. The staff at reception immediately informed Mr. Prakash Dhaubadel to deal with this emergency. Prakash sent us to Iwamura Hospital, which is the nearest one to the hotel, for medication by car. He also helped us to communicate with local doctors and the pharmacist. Since the hospital only accepted cash and we didn’t have enough cash at hand, he even initiated to help to pay for the fee of emergency registration and medicine. As my son’s situation went well after one hour’s treatment and observation, he sent us back to the hotel and comforted us that he would send us to the hospital in the downtown Kathmandu if necessary the second day. He was always by our side and showed great concern for every details that night. When he saw us in the second morning, he inquired for the details of how we gave medicine to our son and if we needed any help to other hospital downtown. We feel lucky to choose to stay in your hotel because of Mr. Dhaubadel’s professionalism and your efficient management. Without such immediate supports and help, we couldn’t image the consequences of this emergency, so we would like to express our deepest gratitude to Mr.

Miinukset: The lock of the room was broken when we stayed.

Plussat: The large room, the garden, the staff, the breakfast

Miinukset: Everything was ok. The hotel is not in the old town but this for someone could be better

Plussat: The hotel located on the hill of Bhaktapur which is not in the old city. It’s about 25mins walk from hotel to Durban square. The hotel restaurant has a very nice view of the whole city and mountains. When I check out, the staff wants to charge me 10% of service fee on top of the final price given in booking. Finally she didn’t charge successfully because the price was clearly written in my booking. So your are suggested to read your bill carefully.

Miinukset: The hotel hygiene is acceptable. Inside the refrigerator, it’s dirty. I gave up using it.

Plussat: Excellent food, great views, spacious rooms, very friendly staff and very easy location for my work and historic Bhaktapur. Fantastically helpful attitude which is really appreciated.

Plussat: This family-run business offers exceptional service! Nothing was too much trouble. The staff were friendly and very happy to stop and talk to you. I’ve now been to Nepal three times, and the room was the best I’ve had so far. Will definitely go back and can recommend this hotel to any traveller. The food, cooked by Runit, is excellent and they even cooked us traditional Newari food - which was delicious. I cannot say enough good things about the the staff, they were truly fantastic and really made my stay enjoyable. Considering I was there for work, that was a real plus. On my day off, Shree, the hotel owner took us round the main sights, for a relatively small fee and is an excellent guide - very knowledgeable and very proud of his country - rightly so, too. That was great value-for-money, without a doubt. Old Bhaktapur city is within walkning distance of the hotel... and it’s beautiful - plenty to see and do. For those who are trekking, this would be a perfect start to your trip. Those I met who were using it as a launch-pad for the trek were very happy with the hotel and the service and support they got from Shree - who also runs a trekking business (contact him directly at the hotel for more information).

Miinukset: The only slightly, tiny, drawback was the location. It was excellent for where I was working, but if a tourist, it’s a little distant from main Kathmandu. However, the hotel has big plans to run free shuttle buses to and from central Kathmandu.

Plussat: Decent breakfast made as per our demand of vegiee food

Miinukset: Unable to recall anything which I did not like

Plussat: A very comfortable stay. The staff was very accomadating, and the special breakfast was the best.

Miinukset: Nothing to complain

Plussat: I stayed at the Bhaktapur Paradise Hotel for six weeks (end of February to beginning of April 2019). This hotel is amazing! If you want to live in a very clean, very comfortable family-run hotel in the middle of a local community, Paradise is the right place for you. The staff are extremely welcoming and can't do enough to make your stay as memorable as possible. When the weather is right, you get fantastic views of the Lang Tang range. Nothing is too much trouble for Shree and his team. He can tell you everything you need to know about the Kathmandu valley and the whole of Nepal. He can take you on very informative site seeing tours and be your personal guide. UNESCO World Heritage Sites are very close in Bhatapur and Kathmandu. Transfers to and from the airport are complimentary and they look after you all the way through immigration if that's what you need. The food is varied, nicely presented and extremely tasty. Service is excellent. Housekeeping was to a very high standard and usually plenty of hot water. We did experience power cuts from time to time, that's common in Nepal, but the hotel has a standby generator on hand which never let us down. The wifi is also great. It was a real pleasure to stay there and I look forward to renewing my friendship with everyone there when I return.

Miinukset: The only small downside is the barking of dogs which you notice sometimes in the night, but again this is common across Nepal. It's no big deal.

Plussat: mountain view location , staff is good , nice experience to be in Bhaktapur paradise

Plussat: Nice Stay ..Owner and Staff was very humble and helpful

Miinukset: Exhaust Fan was not in Bathroom . So sometime it stinks as air circulation is not there. Should have some more option for Indian Breakfast

Plussat: The stay was very pleasant. Staff and owner of the hostel are very friendly and helpful. And the breakfast omelet is so tasty! I will definitely come back!

Plussat: Bishwo couldn't be a better host. I was here three years ago and he is the same now as he was then. He takes such wonderful care of his guests. He is very friendly, treats you like a friend, makes sure everything is okay for your stay, and he even showed me how to use whatsapp. I am very happy to stay here. Thank you Bishwo

Plussat: Room was spacious and very clean. The host is very helpful and had the best recommendations for us to see the local life in town. Have breakfast on the rooftop, from there you have a beautiful view.

Miinukset: Nothing. Would come back :)

Plussat: The host is amazing and helped us find anything we needed. The rooms are huge and beds are comfy, it's easy walking distance to Durbar Square but out of the way enough that you get a feel for life in Bhaktapur.

Plussat: Owner sorted the billing issue out no problem very nice man lovely to talk to when he was around.

Miinukset: Wifi signal wouldnt reach the room. Bookng stated full board was included in the room rate but was big confusion whem the bill came. Breakfast opsitons average dahl baht was good tho.

Plussat: Good location.

Miinukset: We saw all the super great reviews and were curious. But we were so disappointed. The bathrooms had a terrible smell and the beds were super hard. When we wanted to go out for dinner they told us that we had to be back at 9 because there were closing afterwards. We did not experience the friendly host from the owners.

Plussat: Very friendly host with fantastic restaurant recommendations, great breakfast!

Miinukset: Communication with some of the staff was a little difficult, wi-fi didn't reach my room, not the best place to stay to meet other travellers although the owner of the hotel is building a hostel across the road!

Plussat: The owner was realy great!!!!!!

Plussat: Great location. Helpful, friendly staff.

Miinukset: Small bathroom.

Plussat: Good Wi-Fi ...good location ....

Plussat: Great location in midst of the action in Pottery Square. Cosy room

Miinukset: The toilet was very small and had a musty smell. The reception claims you can pay with credit card until checkout when attempting to do so it does not work.

Plussat: The staff here were INCREDIBLE. They were so accommodating and really made our stay. We had a very late flight and they were so kind and let us use the room for longer. The location was incredible, right in the heart of Bhaktapur!

Miinukset: At first the hot water wasn't working (and it was cold outside!) but the staff were super lovely and turned the power on to heat it up (wasn't heated because there had been no sun).

Plussat: The location of the hotel is perfect, the staff is vry friendly and the rooftop restaurant is amazing.

Miinukset: There was no hot water in the shower during our stay. The room could be cleaner. We had issues with the check-in, because our booking was not received by the hotel.

Plussat: The courtyard garden is stunning, calm, quiet and green (rare for Bhaktapur). We had the beautiful honeymoon suite on the top floor with a balcony overlooking the courtyard. Krishan is a super helpful, friendly and obliging manager, and the other staff members are great too. The location is excellent - halfway between Durbar Sq and Tamadi Sq. The breakfasts are delicious. We loved our stay here. Thank you.

Miinukset: Note that because the guesthouse is within the old town of Bhaktapur, foreigners pay a one-time tax to enter the district (valid for the entire length of the validity of your visa). The good news is that this tax goes to the restoration of the ancient buildings which were damaged in the 2015 earthquake, so it is a good cause. Your taxi will drop you a few hundred metres from the guesthouse, Krishan or the other staff will meet you at the taxi and help carry your luggage for you if needed.

Plussat: Really friendly staff Nice neighborhood

Miinukset: Overpriced

Plussat: Beautiful, central location and lovely rooftop terrace.

Miinukset: Beds & shared bathroom could have been better. No cooked or drinking water (only plastic bottles) available.

Plussat: Nice environment, good people and perfect historic locations.

Miinukset: Everything is perfect

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Bathroom was clean but basic and rooms not cleaned daily. Breakfast basic with no flexibility

Plussat: Facilities

Miinukset: I didn't like the location of room because we booked in that main building but they let us to stay in another building.
