Loved the whole package. The staff, locality, facilities loved it all. The staff go beyond expectations

Loved it all

Hotel Old Inn is a very nice place, where the style of old Newari houses has been very well preserved. There are of course some drawbacks to this deliberate choice, but which were not a problem to us: rooms are not very large, they are a bit dark, and equipment is limited (no TV set for example). But again, we like and support this choice. The staff is nice and efficient. Having breakfast on the terrace facing the mountains is wonderful, and we also had a very nice (but small) balcony with Himalaya view adjacent to our room. Be aware that the hotel is on Bandipur bazaar, which is a pedestrian-only area. We had heavy luggage, but our driver called the hotel and hotel staff came to help us carry our luggage to hotel while we were walking. And they also helped us in the same way when we departed Bandipur.

Nothing

Fantastic period property with quirky communal spaces, corridors, low beams and old furniture. Rooms were very comfortable whilst not detracting from the style. Don’t expect modern, it’s like a step back in time. Hotel staff were amazing - especially all the guys at breakfast and dinner, who were highly attentive and friendly. Always happy to help and look after us. I took a day hike using the hotel guide, which was lovely. Recommended stay! Oh and of course the amazing terrace views! How could they not be mentioned - stunning on a clear day.

Be careful not to hit your head on all the low beams! It’s is marked clearly but it’s so quirky and old. A great property with lots of charm.

The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and always happy to give tourist advice. The location is incredible; we were really surprised by Bandipur! We had an amazing room with a mountain view which we shall never forget. The hotel staff also provided us with packed lunches for a trek, which was very thoughtful as the refreshments were very much needed on a hot day!

We were very happy with our stay; however we would have liked shampoo and body wash. These could be provided in refillable containers to be eco-friendly as we understand the need to reduce plastic.

Such a beautiful and sympathetically restored building, definitely the most characterful place we stayed in Nepal! It’s right in the heart of Bandipur, which is a small but charming town, and sitting facing the street is the perfect spot for people-watching. We loved all the decorative touches in the property as well, like statues and paintings and plants.

Super charming hotel with magical mountain views. One of the nicest hotels we stayed in in Nepal - beautifully decorated - the ancient building an charm was well preserved. We had a wonderful birthday celebration with delicious food and mountain views. Definitely a place to go to in Bandipur.

Just know that the ancient building means steep stairs and low ceilings. But that adds to the charm

Excellent property in a great location. Helpful staff, legendary Nepali hospitality.

The check out process was a bit lengthy, but I believe that this was due more to Booking.com than to the hotel. My booking info said that the hotel had already charged my credit card, but the hotel had not. This is not the first time that it happens (for example, it also happened at Sofitel Istanbul and Raffles Jakarta). Maybe Booking.com needs to streamline how you share this info and do it in a more clear way. The hotel staff was apologetic and kind and dealt with this in the most efficient manner possible.

I absolutely loved the property, beautiful room, clean and light with terrace door open, albeit a little more lighting at night could help! Breakfast was monstrous, Fruit, yoghurt and then main to your choice, I can eat but I struggled, fabulous! The location right in the centre of town…. Perfect

The staff make this place with their incredible service and despite it being a very touristy area they manage to keep it personal at all times and a unique experience

Other guests who did not appreciate where they were and were rude

A very quaint and beautiful old building right in the heart of town. They have done a wonderful job of creating a comfortable hotel in an historic structure. The restaurant/breakfast area has gorgeous views looking towards the mountains.
