Our stay at Shambling Boutique Hotel was both an amazing start for our visit to Nepal as well as a beautiful gift for Christmas. Every little detail was so charming and full of heartwarming hospitality. It started with the smooth and welcoming pick-up from the airport, the warm reception, and continued with the tastefully decorated room, the perfect cleanliness, hot water (in Nepali winter) and the incredibly cosy bed. he food was just another highlight: breakfast set in the serene garden and dinner in the restaurant under the Christmas tree, we enjoyed every delicious bite and sip. But what stood out the most was the skilful and truly caring staff. Whenever even a hint of a wish arose, someone was already there to make it come true. Always gentle, always with a solution right on the spot and always with a bright smile. This is hospitality at it's best.

Hira guest house is a beautiful Newari traditional hotel just 50M from world heritage site "Patan Durbar Square". As per the local people the hotel building carries a history of 700 years where once Janga Bahadur Rana used to stay during his field visit to Patan. The staff at the hotel is incredibly courteous and helpful around-the-clock. We especially appreciate the associate at reception who helped us by virtue of the goodness of his heart, making our stay remarkable. Also thanking Mr. Yelos Raj Bajracharya, the property manager, for his informative briefing of the property's history and culture. Additionally his guitar playing is very stupendous. If you want to get a taste of the local way of traditional Nepali life, I heartily recommend the Hira Guest House. Expressing gratitude to the staff of Hira Guest House for a wonderful experience.

The space and size of the suite are incredibly large and spacious. It features a generous living area with a balcony, which we didn’t use due to the air pollution outside. However, the living room was extremely comfortable, perfect for watching TV, exercising, doing yoga, relaxing, or even taking a nap. The kitchen is spacious but has only the basics, suitable for preparing tea, coffee, or simple meals. We requested a French press at the reception to make coffee, and they provided it immediately. The bathroom is large, but there is no curtain or partition to prevent water from spreading across the floor when showering. However, there is hot water. There wasn’t a hairdryer in the room, but upon request, the reception brought one right away. The bedroom is incredibly cozy and inviting, with a very comfortable bed. You can choose between soft ambient lighting or brighter lights. The windows are soundproof, which is great since the room overlooks the street, but no noise can be heard inside. The room itself is also very spacious. We stayed on the third floor, and the staff kindly helped us carry our luggage up upon arrival and down upon departure. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a delicious hot drink and a small welcoming ceremony, which made our stay feel even more special. One morning, they generously offered us a free tour of the more local, less touristy temples, and we absolutely loved experiencing the authentic atmosphere of the area. The best part? The service was absolutely outstanding. Breakfast was delicious, served at the restaurant of the hotel across the street, The Nanee. The service and quality were excellent. We also had dinner there one evening, and everything was exquisite. Thank you!

1 The knowledgable and good mannered staffs! All of them. They are so amazing that I wonder what kind of on-job training they are taking! I enjoy a lot especially the quietness in low season. 2 The big idea about eco friendly. I have no problem at all about the dimmy interior design as well as the drinking water (no plastic botttle) because I am conscious it’s for the environment. 3 the classy and old school architecture. So surprised to know it’s only 24 years building. 4 the pancake and fresh juice in the buffet breakfast
