    The room did not have AC and an upgrade was every expensive compared to what you paid for the property. At least all the rooms should have AC.

    Hospitality was good. Rana bhai is a nice person. location is excellent

    The only downside was being kept awake by barking dogs. This is not the owner’s fault, and if you’re a good sleeper this would not detract from the beautiful accommodations. But for a light sleeper like myself it was a drawback. This issue is common in Nepal.

    Shakya house is unique and historic. Incredible hosts and beautiful accommodations close to Patan’s Durbar Square.

    I liked very much my spacious room full of daylight. The bed was comfortable and I appreciated working table as well. It was short walk from the main plaza in the neighbourhood. The staff was always ready to help. In my room wifi signal was not very stable, that could be a little suggestion to improvement. I would stay again if visiting again Katmandu.

    I had a good stay in Shakya's House. The room was clean and comfortable. The location is great - it's close to many nice places like parks, temples and Durbar Square. The breakfast buffet was great. But the highlight is the friendly, busy and helpful gatekeeper / breakfast preparer!

    Can be a bit noisy with traffic at times - but that’s part of being in a busy section of the city

    They have options for every budget. New construction is complete and new rooms are bright, spacious and good facilities. The staff are welcoming, friendly and very helpful.

    The towls were a bit old, some had a bit of musty smell.

    The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. The location is great, very close to some temples and the access is easy, either by car or walking. The terrace has great view and if you are lucky engough you get to see the mountains.

    My stay at Shakya House was part of my incredible Nepalese volunteer experience. I lived for a month and a half in this facility that became my home, my safe place to recover from the chaos and rainy season. I am grateful for the beautiful people I met here: all the staff are extremely helpful and welcoming, always ready to fulfill any request and make you feel part of their amazing Nepali community. The location is perfect, I highly recommend to choose Patan instead of Kathmandu; it's definitely more authentic and less chaotic and it's easier to go everywhere from here. I am sure that my adventure would not have been as positive without Shakya House. Can't wait to come back!!
