Pros:

I agree with previous reviews that staff are super friendly, warm and accommodating. They made me feel welcome and seen. Whenever I walked by they checked in to see whether everything was fine. They also provided me with suggestions for hikes in the area.
The hotel and room made me feel calm and at home, and the rooftop gave an amazing view of the city and the surrounding mountains. On clear days, the Himalayas could be seen.
There was unlimited access to filtered water and toilet paper.
I would stay here again

Cons:

Keep in mind, as a western tourist, you need to buy the tourist ticket for Durbar-square as the hotel is situated in this area. Since you probably will be visiting this area anyway, you will have the ticket. It is valid for the length of your stay. For example, my ticket was valid for 1 week.

Pros:

I had a pleasant stay at Tulaja Hotel during my visit to Bhaktapur. The check-in process was quick and hassle-free, which set a great first impression. Compared to Kathmandu, Bhaktapur feels much quieter and more peaceful, making the overall atmosphere around the hotel very relaxing.
The hotel itself has a warm, homy vibe, housed in a traditional building that reflects the character of Bhaktapur’s dense historic area. One of the best features is the rooftop bar, where you can enjoy stunning views of Bhaktapur Durbar Square along with the silhouette of surrounding mountains. It’s also a great spot to catch both sunrise and sunset.
The room was fairly spacious—comfortable for two people, even though I stayed alone. The bathroom was clean, and the hot water worked well. There’s no air conditioning, but honestly, it’s not needed since the weather in Bhaktapur is naturally cool and comfortable. A fan is provided, which is more than enough.
The price is very affordable, around IDR 200,000 per night, and it already includes breakfast, making it a great value for money. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay.
One thing to note: since I chose a more budget-friendly room, it was located on the sixth floor, so I had to climb quite a few stairs. However, considering the price and overall experience, it was absolutely worth it.
Overall, Tulaja Hotel is a great choice if you’re looking for a cozy, affordable, and authentic stay in Bhaktapur.
