Atmospheric place in the old Bhaktapur
Pros:

Great location in the heart of the old town of Bhaktapur, helpful staff, allowed ua to change the room and gave us breakfast way before the regular bf time on our early departure and organized the transport to the airport for us.

Cons:

No water in shower due to low water pressure and no hot water in the first upper room (fixed after changing room to the low floor), wifi didn’t work. Cockroaches in the first room.

Ok
Pros:

The location

Cons:

Toiletries were not what was on the photo. We turned the fan on and after 5 minutes it fell off the wall. The next day we told someone it was still on the floor 3 days later. Not the first time it had fallen off as there were other holes in the wall. Room never cleaned . When the receptionist was there she was more interested in her phone

Perfect location.....
Pros:

Great location, nice rooftop restaurant seating areas, and very reasonable prices for both room & food.

Cons:

If you accept/understand you are in a city that is over 1000 years old there is nothing to complain about!

Good place for a short stay
Pros:

Good room, nice rooftop restaurant. Quaint old red brick building blended with the Bhaktapur ambiance. Nicely located right next to the Bhaktapur Durbar Square.

Cons:

The staff need more training. Arranging a taxi to the airport in the morning seemed like a major challenge. Breakfast is served only after 8 AM. We had to miss the breakfast to get to the airport in time.

Superb
Pros:

Perfect location, beautiful view out of windows. Delicious breakfast. Very friendly staff.

Cons:

A small table in the room and the bathroom for stuff would be nice. Install pads for the chairs and tables in the rooftop restaurant could be a good idea to reduce the noice in the room.

Superb
Pros:

Excellent hotel, perfect location, wonderful view, but the most important are the personnel. Fantastic friendliness and service! Delicious Nepali breakfast and excellent coffee! Thank you.
It would be advisable to add a heater in the room during the cold season.
