Everything!! The character and architecture of the building, the spacious rooms (although it has low ceilings, as is part of the history of the place), the water, tea and coffee facilities, a big, comfortable bed, and such kind and lovely staff. Nothing was too much bother. And as others have mentioned, you're not going to find a better location! It's right by Patan's Durbar Square, with cafes on your doorstep, and yet, because of how the street's located, it doesn't have much through-traffic, aka not so many noisy motorbikes as in other places. It was hands down my favourite hotel in Nepal. Patan is such a great part of the Kathmandu valley. I'm so glad we stayed 2 nights, as there is so much to see!

It's a familial hotel, very close (30m) to Patan Durbar Square (impossible to find a better location in this historical area). The hotel is a traditional building, well preserved, the staff very helpful, thanks to Satish and all of them! The tenant has also a lovely restaurant on the square, where you may enjoy very good food and a fantastic view. If you are interested in a true Nepali experience in Kathmandu, we recommend this hotel!!!

If you don't know Nepali, be sure that your special request is well understood.

The authentic traditional feel, the overall vibe and the cordial nature of all the staff’s. They were so helpful, in each and every way they proactively tried to help us. Also, the location, it’s just 2 minutes away from the “Darbar Square”!

Unfortunately, right now the hotel is slightly difficult to reach due to road construction. Hope, this condition will won’t last long.

Excellent location, just steps from Patan Durbar Square and in a cute alley with lots of restaurants and bars. Fun to walk around the area and soak in the local atmosphere. Beautiful traditional house with kind and very helpful staff. It was hot when we were there but there was a powerful pedestal fan and windows on both sides of the room so we cooled down wonderfully. Staff spoke great English and were very helpful in organising taxis, and making sure our car on arrival went to the right location. Steep stairs up to the top levels but the staff helped carry bags.

A lovely little hotel with great staff, comfy rooms, in a fantastic part of town. The staff really went out of their way to help us and nothing was too much trouble for them. The breakfasts were filling and on our last morning they prepared a packed breakfast for an early start, which was great. Just metres from the Patan Durbar Square, too, which is the very best part of Kathmandu to stay in. Lots of restaurants in the area but quiet after about 9pm.

Bathroom was rather cramped. The extra bed (for our child) was very hard and uncomfortable.

The staff, flat out the staff They are all just great people. I've enjoyed every moment spend talking with them, it felt more like staying in someone's home than a "hotel". They've all be happy to answer any question I had, from food recommendations to temples, to places to see, to their culture. I spent some time not feeling well and they all took interest and even got some meds for me too. My room was great, the bathroom was a little small for my tastes, but I'm not too small to be honest, so thats no fault of theirs. The room size itself was great for just myself, I had plenty of room to keep my bags and still have plenty of room to walk around. The design of the room was great! I recommend the upgraded rooms I think they are way nicer (not that there's anything wrong with the cheaper rooms). The location was good too, literally a 2 min walk to Patan Darbar Square. Thames, Kathmandu Darbar Square are around 10min taxi ride away (depending on the time of day and traffic). If you're looking for the Hilton or Marriott this is not the place for you, but if you want a place that better reflects the culture and the warmth of the Nepalese people, this place will give you that. I'm grateful for my 11 days here with my new friends

Watch your head... I'm 5' 10" tall, and have bonked my head multiple times in my room on the bathroom and balcony doorways

It was my second time staying at the Temple House, and everything was great! The owner and staff are super attentive and welcoming, the rooms are beautifully decorated and well-equipped, the location is amazing—just a stone's throw away from Patan Durbar Square and surrounded by cafes, restaurants, and shops—and the breakfast is filling and delicious. I will be coming back for sure!

No complaints, really! Just a suggestion to make shampoo / shower gel available in the bathrooms :)

I absolutely loved the kind, courteous, extremely helpful staff. I felt they were so eager to help at any point. Some of the sweetest people I've ever met. Also, breakfast was very simple but fresh, made to order. The location is great if you want to experience the authentic Nepali lifestyle in Kathmandu.

The noise just outside the back alley one night was quite loud up until 1 am. The rooms have no real windows, just wooden blinds, therefore the noise was quite intense. Also, the bathroom wasn't the cleanest.

Everything! Beautiful rooms in an old Nepalese house. Fabulous attention to detail in the traditional style decor, scrupulously clean, all amenities provided, wonderful location just a few metres from Durbar Square, welcoming and friendly staff

Nothing! Experience living in a traditional style Nepali house. If you want a conventional western style hotel this may not be for you. I didn't find the stairs a problem at all, unlike some reviewers.
