This is a 5 star hotel in the budget category for Nepal. We stayed in a room on the upper floor with a double bed, attached bathroom, and 2 nice sitting chairs and a side table, and a lot of sunshine and garden view. Very very clean!!! I am a clean freak, so this was important. ||Good lighting options in the room, not just one bulb (post trekking, that's lovely). Good bedding, and no mildew smells anywhere. ||This price per night includes delicious big breakfast, with tea or coffee, with 4 or 5 choices of set breakfast, from a egg, toast, yogurt fruit combo to a more nepali flare of chickpea curry, falafel-like patties, mandala omlette combo. Very filling. We only ate breakfast here, but did see other guests eating dinner by candlelight one evening. ||The host has such a good vibe! So kind. So chill. Just a lovely energy to be around. He gave us gentle suggestions each day - zero pressure! Just a...hey, I see you are reading these books, and there is a paper factory you may be interested in very close by. (It was marvelous)||And hey, there's a festival coming on Monday that you might be interested in, and extending your Bhaktapur pass is free to do if you want to stay.||That level of suggestion without pressure is a pleasure to be around.||Every other guest we met here has also been friendly and chatty and lovely - I think it's the atmosphere created by the hosts here.||The host's daughter also helped me solve a problem of getting more data through NCell on my phone in about 3 minutes... last time I had to find a shop and it was a hassle. I asked owner where would be a shop and he said, my daughter will help, and Snap! It's done for both myself and my partner's phones.||The garden, though. ๐๐๐||The grass, the trees, the plants, the flowers, the birds! The hodt has set up tables outside, and created lovely sitting areas for breakfast, and for solo sitting. When we needed to find a place to shift to, as our airbnb reservation was completed, but we weren't ready to leave bhaktapur yet, I searched for "hotel with garden".|This is the only one that came up in our budget range, and it's just lovely. So obviously cared for and loved by this host family.||My partner and I are introverts and quiet travelers, and appreciate hosts that leave us be, while being available when we need help. This host has excellent social skills, and has matched us perfectly. I've also seen him interacting with more gregarious guests, and he matches them as well. That is valuable!!||Two things that I appreciate as a post-trekking traveler.... the excellent and stable and fast wifi connection (needed to work online), and that when he brings the toast he brings a WHOLE jar of jam, peanut butter and honey. So many times on our treks I had toast and had to scrape a teaspoon of jam across my two pieces of toast... the whole jar feels like luxury. ๐ That's a silly one, but some other jam lover out there will sympathize. ๐||It is very close to a square, but with more of a neighborhood feel, without so much of a tourist feel.||This place would be great for families, also, as there is space for kids to play on the grass, space to spread out in the sun.||One of my favorite places to stay on my two month trip in Nepal, and a great way to...

Good location with a lovely garden. We needed to leave so early in the morning, so we coudnt enjoy the breakfast. But the family was so nice and packed us up some food for the ride. Thank you so much. The homecooked meal was so good. It was plentyfull and so delicious. Thank you so much for a wonderful dinner. โFor someone just arriving to Nepal and a first-timer to Bhaktapur, my host made everything very easy for me. He arranged airport pick-up, helped me buy a sim card for my phone, walked me around the old town the first afternoon to get oriented, and helped arrange a tourist bus to Pokhara. He even walked me to the spot where I would meet the bus and waited until it arrived. And I know if I had needed any additional help of any kind, he said I should call him on his cell. Also, besides the included breakfast, he and his wife can provide an authentic Nepali dinner. Nothing fancy or upscale about this place. Very basic room, yet...
