Hotel berhampiran Star Banquet, Bhaktapur

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. 💜💜💜 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. 😄 That's a silly one, but some other jam lover out there will sympathize. 😊 It is very close to a square, but with more of a neighbo

Extremely friendly little hotel. Centrally situated in Bhaktapur with all the main sites in this fascinating city within a short walk. It’s a bit tricky to find the first time, being in a little pedestrian alley. Best to get the taxi driver to phone the hotel once he/she is inside the old city and the owners will meet you. Prices are very cheap and you can get a Newari style breakfast if you want. The owners made us feel like part of the family. Recommended.

First of all , I would definitely recommend staying at least one night in Bhaktapur, where people mostly do it as a day trip from Kathmandu. Located in one of the narrow lanes of the old city, the hotel is hardly a minute's walk from Durbar square . This is a traditional family home converted to a boutique hotel without losing its old world charm. Clean room, cosy bedding, friendly service and a lovely rooftop with views of the durbar square wherein you catch a glimpse of the local life. Breakfast was a bit basic but again, you can't complain for the rates you pay.

My recent stay at Hotel Vintage was truly incredible. The moment I arrived, I felt at home, thanks to the warm and hospitable staff. They provided exceptional service, from the front desk to housekeeping, making my stay both comfortable and memorable. The room's cleanliness and the comfortable bed were very pleasant. Breakfast on the rooftop was a delightful experience. The hotel's location was perfect, with easy access to all the attractions I wanted to explore. I highly recommend Hotel Vintage for an unforgettable stay. It's a place where you feel valued and leave with a sense of having found a second home.

The location at its best. The hotel is literally in the square it self. Just step outside the hotel and you reach the Durbarsquare. The staffs were friendly and helpful. Don't miss out the view from the rooftop.

Overall, a very nice experience! Room was super nice and spacious with 24-hour hot water. The food in the restaurant was classy and delicious and the breakfast was of good standard.

The friendly greeting, attentive service, awesome restaurant and excellent amenities make the Hotel Bhadgaon the perfect choice to start or end a visit to Nepal. After a three week trek, I choose the latter and enjoyed relaxing in the pool, fast laundry service, and the slower pace (and clean air!) of Bhaktapur to unwind. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay memorable and their shuttle service got me to the airport when it was time to depart. They make a great Mojito and there's a resident cat who will say hello is you ask him. Conveniently located right off the main road from the airport, it's easy to get to, quiet, and a short walk to the hustle/bustle of Bhaktapur's Durbar Square. I'll return to the Hotel Bhadgaon after my next Nepal trek!

Very attentive staff. The family that run the hotel are also very friendly and accommodating. They’ll make your stay feel very special. Rooms and facilities are great and the view is second to none. Lots of activities like yoga and nature hikes available and the massages at the spa amazing.
