Hotel Vintage Home — Hotel in Bhaktapur Municipality

This is a small hotel run by the head guy, his young assistant, and a woman who cleans the rooms and does laundry. That's it. It's the smallest staffed hotel I stayed at easily my entire time in Nepal. Breakfast was served on the rooftop between 8:00 - 9:00. (The days I was there, everyone more or less showed up at 8:00 am.) Breakfast consisted of egg, white bread toast, tea of coffee, and some slight variation (pancake or grilled veggies). For the price I paid for a room, the breakfast was decent. The hotel arranged a driver to take me to see the early morning sunrise (that all went off without a hitch). The room was pretty basic. I had a balcony, and a simple fan which kept the temperature at a decent coolness in the night. There was noise from neighbors some nights, but things got quiet after 9:00 or 10:00 pm. I had my laundry done twice while I was there at a very reasonable price. Almost every single bathroom I encountered in my Nepali hotels had issues (by American standards). This bathroom was no exception. Of the three days, I couldn't get hot water at all for the shower one time, and on another day, it took forever. The shower controls weren't intuitive to say the least. Sometimes there was someone at the front desk, other times there was no one. (Due to the small staff.) Whether you are happy here or not depends on what sort of things bother you. For the price point, I couldn't...

⭐ 1 Star – Worst Experience Ever!

I visited this place today and everything seemed fine until I ordered food and requested a shampoo since there was none in the bathroom. I ordered buff momo, chips chilly and veg chowmein.

After a long wait, a white guy with tattoos on his hand, either a waiter or another staff member, brought only the momo. To my surprise, he admitted that the momo was ordered from outside and said they forgot to put momo’s achar. He then insisted that I eat it and even offered a discount instead of taking responsibility. I refused and asked him to replace it with fried rice.

After almost an hour, the same person came back with the same momo and tried to serve it again, this time with achar. I rejected it once more. In the end, they still charged me Rs. 500 for just chips chilly and veg chowmein.

This is by far the worst experience I have ever had at any hotel. I was surprised to find that there was no drinking water provided in the room. I had to go to the front desk myself to request and collect it. In my opinion, providing complimentary bottled water in the room should be a basic standard in any hotel stay. This also affected the overall experience.The service was careless, dishonest and completely unprofessional. A place like this should be ashamed to treat guests in such a way. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone. They truly need to learn what...

Instead of doing a day trip to Bhatapur, we decided to stay the night, and I'm so glad I did. It was wonderful to wonder the streets after the crowds had left and the sun was down. Especially climbing the temples.||The Hotel Vintage Home Hotel is two short blocks from Durbar Square and less than a 5-ish minute walk from Taumadhi Square. It is small (maybe 10 rooms?) and very friendly. I made my reservation directly via Whats App and they requested cash. The price was low enough that I didn't even bother checking out of my Kathmandu hotel. We left most of our stuff there and just took an overnight bag.||Breakfast is served in the rooftop. Our room had a balcony - you can see the mountains to the north on a clear day and a wet bathroom. Like all the hotels (even the "fancier" ones we encountered), there is no central heating, so bundle up if going in winter. ||Two specific tips:||1. For temperature control, keep your door shut at all times - even if you are just stepping out for a moment. I ill-advisedly left the door open while my husband was in the room and I stepped up one flight to check out the roof. It was then that I discovered there is no door / wall to the rooftop - the central "indoor" stairwell has a roof but is otherwise open to the elements. Our room lost all its heat in though few minutes!||2. You may only have 1 roll of toilet paper - check before going to bed to...
