Thagu Chhen, a Boutique Hotel 2 stars

Bhaktapur

Thagu Chhen, A Boutique Hotel is located within 50 metres to Bhaktapur Durbar Square. Guests can enjoy free Wi-Fi access at all areas of the property.

Tastefully furnished,rooms are equipped with a sofa and a dining area. Guests can also enjoy the picturesque views from the balcony. Free toiletries are included in the attached bathroom. I have been to Nepal several times but it was my first time at Thagu Chhen. It has exceeding my expectations and provides an excellent value. Besides, the location is prime and the staff are excellent. And as anyone who has been to Nepal will tell you, traditional Nepalese hospitality reigns supreme. Imagine stepping into a living museum... Thagu Chhen is nestled in the heart of Bhaktapur, and its architecture tells tales of centuries past. The ambiance bridges the old and the new: each room is styled with traditional Nepalese and Buddhist themes, a nod to the rich cultural heritage of the region. Here, you’re not just a room number. From the moment you arrive, they’ll know your name. Need a wake-up call for that early business meeting? Done. Craving a cup of masala chai? Consider it delivered. It is a home away from home. The staff are willing and happy to cater to your every need. They’ll make your stay memorable, whether it’s arranging a tour or sharing local legends. If you’re here for work, Thagu Chhen seamlessly blends business amenities with cultural immersion. High-speed Wi-Fi keeps you connected, while the ancient courtyards inspires creativity. This trip has been a perfect balance of business and pleasure and Thagu Chhen has been a big part of it. I highly recommend a stay at Thagu Chhen. You will come back for more.
