The Inn Patan

This is quite an unusual accommodation. The property is a converted 19th century building, which means it is quite quirky and charming with low thresholds at places and weird angles...and door padlock which was attached to a chain. Yet it is clean and inviting. I stayed in room 10 which was on the top floor with its own little balcony looking down a narrow alleyway and the hustle and bustle of Patan. The buildings surround a courtyard that has places to sit and eat on the first floor as well as on the balcony. I was initially given a room with no view. I payed a little more to stay in a room with a great view, especially at sunset. Two things to note: there is no air conditioning and no elevator. I thought this was going to be a problem but it really wasn't. I was there in May and I had the window open, had no insects/mosquitos in the room. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. You can just walk outside the Inn and explore the narrow alleyways full of small restaurants and shops. Durbar Square is 5 minutes away...fun to explore at night. I ate at a local hole-in-the wall (there were actually holes in the wall) where the staff spoke no English. I would definitely stay here again!

The worst food you'll ever taste in any of the restaurants in Patan! They served frozen fries and momos which was just awful. The service was late and chef was mannerless! I would not recommend this place to anyone! They did not even serve hot food!

I lived in Patan, Nepal in 2006 and have returned several times to reconnect with my "Nepali Family" and the one of kind culture of the Kathmandu Valley. The Inn Patan is a treasured restoration of a traditional Newari home, and is a moments walk to Patan's Durbar Square. The property is extremely quiet, the on-site restaurant is excellent, and the staff are consistently wonderful and accommodating. My husband, friend and I throughly enjoyed our stay and will stay at The Inn Patan when we return to Nepal.
