9.4/10 Exceptional! (51 reviews)

Nice hotel with friendly staff. Rooms were clean and tidy. Hotel is a bit tired but OK. Nice garden area. Only downside is lack of elevators, I had fifth floor room which was a trudge to get to. Overall very good value for money.

The temples are gorgeous and it's not as chaotic as Kathmandu, but not being Hindu, we didn't feel it was worth the whole trip out there. The architecture is identical to Kathmandu Durbar Square.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Our favorite location in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal. Immensely walkable and local, the temples, palaces and squares of historic Bhaktapur are much more comprehensive than just the Durbar Square. Be sure to see the Taumahdi Square, Peacock Window and Pottery Squares while in Bhaktapur. And save your souvenir purchases for this City with better prices and cross-section of options than either Kathmandu or Patan.
