Bhaktapur – Gistihús

Rosie Nýja-Sjáland

Many things that we loved about our stay! Very friendly staff, a rooftop where we could dry our laundry and enjoy our meals, you can phone the reception from your room to order food to enjoy on the rooftop which is an amazing service for the affordable price! Breakfast was some of the best we’ve had in Nepal. Actually all of the food they serve in their on site restaurant is delicious. Comfortable bed, warm enough, big bathroom compared to many other accommodation in Nepal. Great location, close to lots of cool things to see!

Shekhar is an amazing host, taking care of everyone in his house. He welcomes you, takes you around the city, gives lots of information,... The house is really cosy and makes you feel like home. I can really recommend this place!

The property was cozy, clean and the beds were very comfortable. We stayed during the end of December so the weather was much cooler at night and the owners gave us a space heater and extra blankets at no extra charge. The location is perfect right next to the pottery square and Bhaktapur Dubar Square. Our host was very nice and helped us with a taxi to the airport and with local recommendations for our time there. We would definitely stay there again.

The hotel is on the edge of Bhaktapur Durbar Square, and our room looked directly out to the old palace and temples. Our view was gorgeous. When we wanted to go exploring, we could just step out of the hotel and everything was walking distance. The staff were extremely helpful. In fact, there was a glitch in the Booking.com app where our itinerary, inexplicably, did not match the hotel's. We got a bit anxious and stubborn because we had transcribed our intinerary based on our trip listings in the Booking app. But the owner very patiently asked us to sit down and figure it out, and we were humbled to find that our schedule was mixed up. We were able to sort it all out, because we were taking a side trip to stay outside of town for a night, returning to stay at Shiva House again. Shiva House stored our luggage while we were away. Also, the food in the restaurant is excellent. *There is a restaurant right next door as well, with a beautiful garden courtyard, worth checking out. We hired Myla (not sure of the spelling) to drive us to many sites, which was a great help. Everything is easy walking distance from Shiva House, and we loved that we could walk back and take a break at any time.
