8/10 Very Good! (68 reviews)

I picked this hotel out of proximity to restaurants, LOD club and shopping. It was the right choice for that! Breakfast was served each morni by starting at 6:30am. I liked that part. Rooms are basic but nice for what they have. The TV was helpful to watch after a long day around town. The staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, I would stay here again and felt safe and taken care of.

The temples are gorgeous and it's not as chaotic as Kathmandu, but not being Hindu, we didn't feel it was worth the whole trip out there. The architecture is identical to Kathmandu Durbar Square.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Our favorite location in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal. Immensely walkable and local, the temples, palaces and squares of historic Bhaktapur are much more comprehensive than just the Durbar Square. Be sure to see the Taumahdi Square, Peacock Window and Pottery Squares while in Bhaktapur. And save your souvenir purchases for this City with better prices and cross-section of options than either Kathmandu or Patan.
