Un cadre hors du temps et central
Pros:

Un cadre superbe, bien mis en valeur et bien entretenu. Emplacement idéal pour visiter la ville. Personnel très gentil.

Cons:

Le système des petits déjeuners est contraignant car peu flexible (il faut décider de l’heure en remplissant une fiche chaque soir, et le service ne commence qu’à 8h).

Pros:

L'hotel si trova in un edificio storico bellissimo, in una posizione perfetta per visitare la città.
Ho chiesto aiuto allo staff per prenotare autista + guida per delle escursioni nella valle e, oltre che a essere super disponibili, mi hanno fatto delle quotazioni che si sono poi rivelate di molto migliori rispetto a quelle richieste a Kathmandu, tanto che alla fine ho prenotato tutto con loro, anche per i giorni in cui non soggiornavo più a Patan.
La camera era bellissima e la colazione molto molto buona.
Albergo consigliatissimo!

Le bonheur de la simplicité , la beauté du lieu, son authenticité et une propreté particulière.
Pros:

Sa simplicité belle, de très bon goût et la gentillesse de l’accueil. La propreté est très appréciable. Il n’a pas de luxe ostentatoire, juste ce qu’il faut pour être bien.
Ce qui nous importe le plus c’est l’engagement de jeunes qui sortent de l’orphelinat et trouvent un travail . Le côté social est primordial pour nous.

Cons:

Rien. Nous y revenons à chaque séjour au Népal

Struttura antica nel cuore di Patan
Pros:

Ottima posizione, camera spaziosa e pulita, staff molto gentile.
Abbiamo dovuto lasciare la struttura prima del previsto e ci sono venuti incontro facendoci pagare solo parte del soggiorno.

Cons:

Troppo rumore proveniente dalla strada (la struttura del resto è storica e capisco che non sia facile gestire il problema). Consiglio solo per una una notte.
Colazione su ordinazione ma in generale piuttosto scarsa nelle porzioni e con poca varietà.

Amazing historic house something special
Pros:

Fabulous historic house in old quarter of Patan. Something really magical about this place. And - you really feel whisked back in time. Super clean. Super professional.

Cons:

Our room overlooked the Main Street it was noisy with motorbikes & dogs TBH can happen anywhere in towns in Nepal. I used ear plugs so was fine.

Magnifique lieu
Pros:

Magnifique projet de restauration d’un immeuble ancien avec de tres belles finitions intérieures

Cons:

Petit bémol. Le bruit de la rue est très présent dans la chambre le matin. Une meilleure étanchéité des fenêtres serait un plus. Mais cela reste un beau séjour et ce type d’initiative est à encourager

Very comfortable place to stay in the heart of Patan
Pros:

My room was well planned I loved the window seat and the bed was very comfortable

Cons:

I was initially disappointed not to have a room in the old house but soon realised the standard of the new rooms was too good to miss.

The charm of this place in the old town is something not common for Kathmandu !
Pros:

Great welcoming and warmth of the communication. Comfy bedding and overall very clean. Pick the breakfast it was truly good. The charm of this place in the old town is something not common for Kathmandu !

Cons:

The height of ceiling in rooms :) though being a true historical legacy in Newar houses. Hard to stand up straight when you are above 1,70m. But don't get me wrong that was fun and source of many jokes even with other guests.
