Oh, did I hate those stairs! I should have taken Yellos up on his offer to change my room.

Good breakfast to start the day. Very friendly and accommodating host, who arranged an excellent tour guide and driver for all the sights I wanted to visit in Patan and Kathmandu. Yellos (host) was kind enough to put me on the top floor, so I wouldn't have street noise. What he didn't know, since I'd forgotten to request a lower-floor room, is that I have a hard time with stairs. There were *many*, very narrow, stairs. He did offer to move me after a couple of days, which I turned down because I didn't want to be a bother. I eventually decided to take him up on it, and thought I'd sent him a text to that effect, but discovered at the end of the day that I'd accidentally texted myself instead of him. So I decided to forget it. The proximity of the guesthouse to the ancient Patan Durbar Square, with its stunning architecture and excellent museum, allowed me to visit the old city twice during my stay.

The was nothing to dislike. The place was perfect

Loved everything about Hira Guest House. Yelos our host was incredible and went out of his way to make our stay comfortable. He was a wealth of knowledge about the history and everything about Patan. The architecture and artworks in the building was impressive and it felt like we stepped into that time in history. The place was actually better in real life than in the photos. There was also no need for air-conditioning as the building was well insulated therefore sustainable. My husband and I will definitely be returning to Hira Guest House

Bathroom WC did not have health faucet / jet spray. Bathroom ceiling height is too low - so this place is not for people taller than 5'-9".

Check-in process was good. Traditional Nepali food served for breakfast which was very good.

The hotel room was clean, nice, spacious and comfortable bed. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The included breakfast is good too . The location is just perfect for a walk around the Golden Temple in Patan -a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

I lived under the roof, which meant many stairs and during the day quite warm

Location was pretty Central. Nice old traditional building

The signage for the Guest House needs to be more prominent, to make it a little easier to find.

The location of this hotel was perfect! Basically right in Patan's Durbar Square. The hotel is in a 300 year old building that used to be the house of the accountant of the king back in the day.The family that owns and runs the Guest house are all very nice and I would stay here again on my next trip through Nepal.

Hira Guest House is an authentic 300-year old house maintained in beautiful condition. The doorway lintels are low as it was customary to bow when entering a room. It is not a western style hotel. The host, Yelos, is a warm and friendly man, who is happy to share his knowledge and love of Nepalese culture and customs. We enjoyed traditional cuisine and shared a meal with his family.

Such a beautiful place, the building is stunning and so homely (my partner is 6ft, so mind your head tall people haha) Bed was incredibly comfortable, location is amazing and the staff were so so helpful and accommodating! 10/10 experience

It's difficult to adjust the temperature of the water. The ceiling is low, so be careful not to hit your head.

A lovely guesthouse, a traditional house renovated with modern facilities, located in the middle of Patan's old town, it feels like you've traveled back in time.

We had a lovely time at Hira. The place is meticulously designed, sparkling clean, and reeking of luxury and old world charm! The place and rooms look even better than in photos. Mika, the caretaker, goes above and beyond for your needs, is always available and polite. And Yelos helped us with issues that came up for us so promptly. Also - if you are lucky enough to get breakfast cooked by Yelos' mum, you have reached nepali heaven! 🤩 We would whole-heartedly recommend Hira Guest House to anyone who is open to a vacation in a beautiful, rustic, living museum!

We really loved our stay at Hira guesthouse. Sooo close to Durbar square but really quiet on the courtyard, rooftop terrace and in the room. Breakfast is really good, plentifull and with lots of variation. Yelos and his family members are really welcoming, warm hearted and friendly people. Don't hesitate to stay here.

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.

I’ve never met more warm and hospitable hoteliers before. I loved the room/whole place so much, it is so charming and quaint with the traditional Newari architecture… that’s a huge treat by itself to experience a part of authentic Nepali culture and history in this 300 year old building… also I can’t forget the hot shower + Huge comfy mattress! And just having tea in the courtyard… but above all I enjoyed my conversations with Yelos the most. He is so knowledgable about Nepal’s cultural, art and spiritual history… I felt like I got 10 free guided tours without leaving the guest house. And yes it very much encapsulates the feeling of a guest house rather than a cold, corporate style hotel where there is no warmth and personal involvement. I highly recommend Hira Guest House. They helped me with so many things and saw that each guest got the same amazing service and treatment, it was so delightful to stay and I can’t wait to come back again.

Best location and best view

As the surrounding area is very dusty, more frequent cleaning would be beneficial.

Although there is a very busy area nearby, the guest house is located in a quiet spot. Fantastic building, very old. Front windows made of artistically carved wood. Very nice and helpful stuff, they will make you feel very welcome.
