Thagu Chhen, a Boutique Hotel

L'hotel si trova in posizione perfetta,proprio nel centro storico ma lontano dal caos.La nostra camera aveva una vista fantastica sulla città e sulle montagne, il letto comodissimo.La colazione servita con cura, abbondante e di ottima qualità .Abbiamo viaggiato molto per il mondo, e trovare tutto lo staff efficiente, disponibile, gentile e sorridente non ci era mai capitato.Ci hanno aiutato in tutto ☺️Sono stati davvero eccezionali. Un ringraziamento ulteriore alle due giovani ragazze della reception, belle e brave. Grazie di cuore

Super friendly staff, great location and the restaurant at the nanee had amazing food and breakfast

Top Lage in der schönsten der Königsstädte

The hotel is beautiful, well-decorated, and has spacious rooms, located in a charming Newar-style building. It describes itself as a boutique hotel, and yes, it is small, intimate, and stylish, but the personalized service that characterizes this type of hotel is nonexistent. They have two hotels on the same street, and Thagu Chenn is the "ugly duckling." There's almost never anyone at reception, just a security guard, and every time you need something, you have to go down and across the street to the reception of the other hotel opposite to get assistance. We stayed in ten hotels in Nepal, and what stood out most was the staff's willingness to help you at any time with anything you needed: booking taxis, buses, even flights, currency exchange, etc. Thagu Chenn was the only one where, after a friendly welcome, we never heard from the hotel staff again, except on our last day when we went to the hotel across the street to ask for help booking a local taxi to Kathmandu (15 kilometers). Although we repeatedly told them we wanted a regular taxi, they insisted we go in an extremely expensive private car for €30. Finally, I had to go out and find a taxi, which cost me €9.

I write this last sentence a month and a half after my review in January (March 2026) just to thank the hotel for the consideration it has had in apologizing to me both through Booking and through my personal email. If the hotel is able to improve the aspects that I criticized about customer service, it will be a boutique hotel.

Absolutely wonderful. I looked forward to it each morning.
The juices, breads and pastries were very nice. Especially loved the yogurt and scrambled eggs.

Everything exceeded my expectations, location, room size, staff, breakfast. I am sure this is one of the best hotels in Nepal. My stay felt like a sanctuary and I was very glad to return after my 10 day trek to Langtang.

Lovely, welcoming and friendly staff. Outstanding breakfast and food at Nanee. The room was excellent size, with nice touches and tastefully decorated. Great location just a short walk outside of Bhaktapur Durbar Square.

מלון בוטיק מקסים בבהקטפור.נוח,נקי,צוות ידידותי וארבע דקות הליכה מהעיר העתיקה.
מומלץ

A spacious atmospheric studio with separate bedroom, living/kitchen area, bathroom and balcony, very close to Durbar Square. Excellent welcome and service and a lovely breakfast a d dinner in Nanee’s immediately across the road.

Grote kamer met balkon, mooi uitzicht op de bergen om de hoek van Durbar plein.

l'appartement offrait une vue magnifique, très bon emplacement, personnel très serviable. On se croyait en famille

Staff was very friendly and helpful! I would stay here again.

Beautiful hotel with a huge room and comfortable bed in a great location in Bhaktapur breakfast was across the road in the Nanee where I had a couple of meals which was also excellent. One of my favourite hotels in Nepal 10/10

ブティックホテルと呼ぶのんにふさわしい､特別感がある。部屋が広々していて使いやすい。居心地が良い。
別館で食べる朝食もおいしい。
スタッフがとても感じよい。

Quality of the revamping, decoration, size of the rooms. View on the town

Great hotel. The staff was courteous and professional, the room was clean and spacious, the breakfast was rich and luxurious. We would be happy to come back again at any opportunity.

I stayed in the third floor apartment of Thagu Chhen (note: no lift), which was really spacious with a fantastic view over Kathmandu. It was clean and comfortable and the staff were always very helpful. The kitchen facilities were fine though there wasn’t a fridge. There are plenty of shops and restaurants right nearby, including a good breakfast at the sister hotel just across the road. Bhaktapur has a nice feel to it: you’re near Durbar Square though away from the most touristy part of the town. The room faces onto the street and is single-glazed, so there is some noise but not particularly bad at night (all of TC’s rooms face the front except the studio on the top floor but that has no a/c and is quite a bit smaller). I was working in Kathmandu and Dhulikhel – Bhaktapur is a good half-way location, and the apartment was conducive to getting on with work. I would stay here again.
