Wonderful stay in Bandipur
Pros:

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt im The Old Inn Bandipur. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und immer engagiert uns mit jeder Angelegenheit weiter zu helfen. Das Zimmer war sehr schön und groß, mit wunderschönem Ausblick in die grüne Berglandschaft. Das Hotel liegt direkt im Herzen der Stadt, sobald man vor die Tür geht, ist man direkt im Geschehen. Im Hotel hat man aber trotzdem seine Ruhe. Das Frühstück hat uns sehr gut gefallen und auch das Abendessen war sehr gut.
Die Unterkunft ist seinen Preis auf jeden Fall wert und wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen.

A beautiful place to stay
Pros:

Stayed 2 nights in May with a friend, we had separate rooms. We arrived late, around 8pm, and staff had our dinner prepared and ready to go. We were then told that the rooms in the main building had a hot water problem and we would be moved to the annex building. The annex building is literally less than 1 minute's walk, you can see it from the main building, it's just on the other side of the square. The annex building is also a historical building, lots of charm, beautifully kept. The only down side to the annex building is that it is right above the main temple/ square in the bazaar. It is very, very loud. We arrived during a cultural event with drumming, dancing, and singing. Being one floor above ground level made the noise extra loud. The show did end before 10pm. However, people stand around and talk in the square until late at night. You can hear everything they say. Then, very early, by 6am, people are ringing the bell at the temple; it is very loud. I think if you are not in one of the rooms facing the main square, it might be quieter. The main building is just a little bit away from the square and the eating area and most rooms face away from the main street so it is much quieter.

Both rooms (annex building and main building) are comfortable, nicely decorated, good beds and bedding, very clean, lots of lights and charging points. Filtered drinking water is provided. Shower water was hot, pressure was strong, wifi was decent. The shutters on all the windows keep the rooms very dark even in broad daylight. Having the large windows to open and a balcony was very nice.

Staff was very attentive and helpful. They let us switch rooms back to the main building the second night when the water heater was fixed. Food was absolutely delicious. The dhal bat set was very, very good. Breakfast was filling and made fresh. Overall a very nice stay.

Cons:

Step back in time and enjoy the peace!
Pros:

One of my favourite hotel stays in a long time, and the best I stayed in whilst visiting Nepal! The staff are wonderful, kind and attentive, and the hotel is beautiful and so well maintained.
The breakfast, and all the food I tried, was excellent. In particular it was great to have decent coffee served in a French press.
The location is perfect and the view from the multiple terraces are so special. The staff helped me arrange a minivan onto Pokhara which I appreciated.

Eine interessante, schöne Unterkunft
Pros:

Ein wunderschönes ca. 150 Jahre altes Haus, dekorativ ausgestattet, mit einer Terrase, von der man das Tal überblickt.
Sehr aufmerksames, freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal. Der junge Manager macht einenen top Job und unterhält sich gerne mit seinen Gästen.
Das Frühstück ist sehr umfangreich, nicht zu schaffen!

Cons:

Bauartbedingt hat das alte Haus keine verglasten Fenster (das sollte auch so bleiben) und keine Heizung, die Folge bei kühlem Wetter: Mindestens das Duschen ist ungemütlich!

Die schönste Unterkunft, mit der besten Aussicht!
Pros:

Das Old Inn ist ein sehr charmantes und architektonisch sehr interessant Hotel, allein dafür lohnt sich der Aufenthalt. Doch was das beste ist, Ashilk und sein Team umsorgen die Gäste sehr liebevoll und professionell. Ich habe mich wie Zuhause gefühlt :) Und Nachhaltigkeit wird hier gelebt. Danjabaad!

Pros:

Ένα υπέροχα αναπαλαιωμένο κτίριο 200 ετών, παλαιό πανδοχείο, σε ένα χωριό που βρίσκεται ψηλά σε σημείο που ήταν κόμβος επικοινωνίας μεταξύ Θιβέτ και Ινδίας, που δεν επιτρέπεται η κυκλοφορία οχημάτων, με εξαιρετική εξυπηρέτηση από το προσωπικό και ιδιαίτερα τον Ashik.

Great Place in Badipur, nice for history lovers.
Pros:

The hotel is historic and keeps the vibes of a traditional nepalese building, this means it's gorgeous and has a lot of quirks and everything seems original or restored from original.

I did not have a chance to try the food, but saw other guests eating the breakfast and it seemed up to standard.

The location is ideal for a stay in Bandipur, as it cannot get more central. It is located on a purely walkable street, so there is no traffic noise.

Cons:

Not an issue the hotel should/could change, but the doorways and rooms are quite short for anyone who might consider themselves tall. The hotel however accomodates and has padding on doorways in higher traffic areas which saved my head a couple times in my short stay.
