Cons:

Really liked the hotel however…
Steep stairs to the room, no room service the second day we needed to ask for fresh towels did the bed on my own and bin was full that could be improved also no more water bottle was supplied on second day no tea and coffee bags.
There was also no space to put anything down in the bathroom like a cosmetic bag.

Parfait!
Pros:

Localisation parfaite, tout le personnel aux petits soins pour nous aider et rendre notre séjour agréable, notre séjour à Temple House était parfait, et choisir de rester à Patan était pour nous un meilleur choix que Katmandu

Pros:

Truly an exceptional experience. It's a beautiful building with super cozy, historical rooms! The breakfast is standard Nepalese. The location is awesome! Very comfy bed.

Cons:

The shower didn't really work, it was just a dribble of boiling hot water. During the winter time in Kathmandu, that was not so comfortable. The historical wooden windows don't have any additional class windows, so until the road quiets down at ~ 21:30, it's very noisy. And from 6.00 there is a bell, that sometimes gets rung. I would totally stay here again during the summer, but not during the winter again, I was wearing my winter coat the entire time I was staying in the room.

Pros:

Breakfast continental type : toasted bread with butter/jam, egg dishes, fruit cut pcs
Coffee with milk great
In total, break fast was excellent

Location: Very close to Patan Darbar Museum, Temple and market area, so small roads which not convenient during busy day time traffic

Cons:

Very old type traditional building
Wooden roof type on each floor very low, so good height and weight persons will struggle to climb on wooden stairs considering head to touch on roof, even in side the rooms, wash room have same situation.

As if some one likes to live very traditional and historic place, this is one of the best ! as well !

Very enjoyable stay. Traditional style in heart of Patan, great hosts, good breakfast, good vibe and much charm.
Pros:

Traditional style in heart of Patan, great hosts, good breakfast, good vibe. Much charm. Good view from roof.

Cons:

Room decor etc a bit faded and perhaps dusty which detracted from the charm a little - could easily be updated and refreshed to make it much smarter.
