The staff was very friendly and helpful. They supplied me with fruits I needed (not mentioned on their menu). The rooms are cosy and comfortable. The hotel is 100 m from the center and Durban square.. The best view over the main place you have on the rooftop where they serve delicious food. Just book and come, don't hesitate!

Perfect location, beautiful view out of windows. Delicious breakfast. Very friendly staff.

A small table in the room and the bathroom for stuff would be nice. Install pads for the chairs and tables in the rooftop restaurant could be a good idea to reduce the noice in the room.

Excellent hotel, perfect location, wonderful view, but the most important are the personnel. Fantastic friendliness and service! Delicious Nepali breakfast and excellent coffee! Thank you. It would be advisable to add a heater in the room during the cold season.

The view from the window and the top was unbelievable and even gave me goosebumps. And the most I appreciate is the hospitality and the facilities given by them.Unexpected services and the staff's good way of behaving uplifts us to visit time and again.Cleaniness, hygienic foods and beverages and the comfort accomodation facility encourage me to stay over whenever I visit the Bhaktapur. The most i like is the kind behaviour shown by the Owner and the availability at any time. At last, the experience I had in the last two days over there was awesome and unforgettable. They made me feel like a home far from the home.

It was rare to find the dislikes but thought im unhappy from the elevator coz their isn't. Due to which everytime had to exercise your leg to do ups and downs.

Great location, nice rooftop restaurant seating areas, and very reasonable prices for both room & food.

If you accept/understand you are in a city that is over 1000 years old there is nothing to complain about!
