Temple House

Wonderful stay! value for money. Staff are cooperative and helpful. Very near to the heritage site of patan area.

Very nice and helpful staff. Good breakfast. Great location right off the Durbar Square. Patan is lively but calmer than Thamel. Very quiet after 9:00 PM. Could hear street noise from 4:30 am on but it's typical for the area. Comfortable beds. Some rooms have small balconies. I would stay again next time I'm in Kathmandu.

This quaint hotel is located barely a block away from Patan's Durbar Square. I stayed there for 3 nights while I was in Kathmandu for work. The rooms are atmospheric and full of ambiance, which is what I sought. There was a selection of Nepali or Contentinental breakfast included in my rate; I went with Nepali the whole time and really enjoyed it. The owner was incredibly kind and gave me my choice from several of the rooms. He was also very responsive via WhatsApp to any question I had regarding the city, making it easy for me to navigate. The hotel is also connected to rooftop restaurant overlooking the square, and being a guest at the hotel entitled me to a discount on my food, which I took advantage of my first night. Lovely entrée to the visit! While I immensely enjoyed my stay and would happily go back, a few items to note for other travelers: 1. I had excellent internet in my room, but the room was not "designed" for business travelers - no desk; I did work from my bed. This was not a problem for me and most business travelers would stay at a different kind of hotel. Plus, a feature of being in this area is that there are a lot of fun cafés around, so why would you spend much time working from your room (during the day)? 2. The bathroom shower had hot water, but the shower ran for a long time before the water became hot. I mention this again just to help people manage expectations. 3. My particular room was on the first floor, so there was some street noise. There was only one night when I noticed it, however, and it did not last very long. There were other rooms more removed from the street, so this could have been avoided if it was something I was concerned about. 4. My particular room had a lower ceiling. I'm 5'5 and it was ok for me (and part of the overall charm). Taller people might not enjoy - but there were other rooms available with higher ceilings (so if you're tall, it might be something to mention when you make the booking). All in all, I had a wonderful stay and got exactly what I wanted! I would happily stay there again and hope I have the opportunity to do so!

We had a very short one night stay in this hotel, but it really did an impression on us. This hotel is ancient compared to where we stayed in Nepal before. The historical atmosphere of this place is definitely worth the money. The traditional architecture, furniture, in room amenities are very rare in hotels. No elevators, but the staff will carry your luggage up the stairs. We really enjoyed it. The reception staff was very helpful, everything was well organised. If you stay in Patan area, I really recommend this place. One more thanks to Rajesh for his big help during our stay.
