Heranya La:Ku — Hotel in Lalitpur Metropolitan City

I booked the hostel, however, annoyingly it isn't actually adjoined to the hotel on the plaza, but is situated in a dingy building in a nearby back courtyard. The staff were friendly and card is accepted for an extra 1.5% fee, though the hostel toilets have no sink and there is no sink on the floor of the toilets for washing hands (I've never seen this before in 125+ countries across my entire life....no place to wash ones hands after using the bathroom is disgusting). Toilet paper was provided and all the bathrooms facilities are new, however, the gas shower leaked gas when operating which is extremely dangerous for inhalation and the entire place was built for smaller hobbits so it is completely inappropriate for most people including most Nepalese as you'll smash your head on literally everything. The room mattress was also very uncomfortable and so I slept on the floor for the first night. I was given a hobbit twin room, but there was no window insulation, and one window was used by pigeons to defecate and the other aligned to a courtyard with an untrained screaming dog - so it was extra unpleasant. The WiFi was good, though having booked and paid for 7 nights, I left after 4 nights as it really is a very uncomfortable and depressing place to stay. Not the worst place I've ever stayed, however, certainly the most depressing and...

This homestay has an absolutely amazing location! It is inside Patan’s Durbar Square so you are staying right inside a living museum! Do note- if you want to see the rest of the square and the museum inside, you must visit the ticket desk in the front of the square and purchase a ticket. You can use it for multiple days and trips to the museum, it is just your contribution to the preservation of the space. I also ended up hiring a guide for a historical tour of the area- which I would recommend. We walked around for about two hours and he shared a lot about the history and the importance of the Durbar square and palace. But, if you do not want a guide, it is not required. |I stayed in the female dormitory room and it was really comfortable! The bedroom and attached bathroom was really clean and cozy. I did not spend a lot of time in the room during my time in Patan, but I would stay here again if given the chance. You are RIGHT in the square, so it can be loud if there are activities happening- but it was not a problem after 8pm so I did not mind it. The staff is really great and friendly, this was a really great...
