Reviews of Hira Guest House

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.

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

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

The was nothing to dislike. The place was perfect

Loved the authentic old Newari building

Close to Durbar Square, booked room to experience a 300 year old house.

Room with very low ceiling, dimmed lights and reading nearly impossible, very cold (no heating/air condition) - bathroom dirty, one little soap for three nights, showering difficult as temperature of water is always changing - got a second blanket because of the cold. - friendly owner but very unfriendly staff - had to ask for room service the second day - had to a fight for a dry towel with the staff as towels don’t dry in the cold room - could fill up myself water bottle at a machine - water kettle on demand but had to use my own tea bags - breakfast: one fried egg, some pieces of potato, two slices of toast, pieces of apple / banana - was the most expensive place with the lowest standard and service within three weeks - not a 3star guest house - can’t recommend at at all.

The room and the buildings history

Require bidet in the toilet needs to work on it

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

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".

Location was great!! In the heart of Patan. Amazingly beautiful room, I would’ve loved to have stayed here for months.

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.

The room is exactly the same as the photo. The traditional architecture is very interesting and the location is very good, close to Patan

The room is so dark and the water heater is unsafe to use in the bathroom.

Location was pretty Central. Nice old traditional building

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

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.

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

From the moment I arrived I felt like a valued guest Meet all my expectations it was a really good feeling I hope to stay longer for next time..🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻I talk with owner he was really friendly and helpful. His hospitality was really great He gave us a really good price while staying in a hotel. I am really grateful to talk to the owner . Looking forward to staying in this hotel again thank u 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Excellent location in Patan old town; home feeling in a traditional house; very welcoming and helpful staff; stylish nicely decorated room; good Nepali breakfast. Excellent value for money. Hira Guesthouse is a very special, highly recommended place to stay in Patan.

Nothing really, bathroom is simple but clean and functional.

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
