The most fascinating aspect of this hotel was it's location. You will be living right beside the mesmerizinng Patan Durbar square and the magical alleys. The staff were hospitable. It's a perfect place to get a feeling of the traditional Nepali neighborhood and it's cultural heritage.

Some repair works in the courtyard though it didn't bother us too much

We were travelling in a company of friends with kids. Our experience at this hotel was absolutely outstanding! The rooms are spacious, the beds are large and comfortable, and the atmosphere is refreshingly cool and undoubtly clean. The location is simply unbeatable—right on Patan Durbar Square, with all of Patan's incredible landmarks just a short walk away. Yet, despite being in the heart of the city, the hotel remains peaceful, as the windows open to a quiet inner courtyard. One of the true highlights is the stunning rooftop terrace, offering breathtaking city views and mesmerizing sunsets. The service was nothing short of exceptional—the staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. A special mention goes to the restaurant team on the terrace, where the waiter made our last evening truly memorable with his excellent service. A huge thank you to the management and staff for making our stay such a wonderful experience. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kathmandu!

The room smelled slightly stale on arrival partly as it is an older building. Once we ventilated the room with windows wide opened it was better the next day.

The proximity to Patan Darbar Square is just brilliant. The staff are so kind and it's wonderful to stay in an older building which has been renovated so tastefully literally a few steps from the magical square. Roof top area allows for an evening drink and to absorb all the sounds of the area. There's a proper coffee machine which means you can chill out back at the hotel during the day if needs be. Loads of hot water and the shower was great for us. Staff were really attentive. Breakfast was more than adequate. Wonderful Nepali experience 😍😍

The staff were super friendly and helped me with anything I needed from booking taxis to advice on places to visit. I was sad to leave in the end and now think of them as my family in Kathmandu. The location is right next to Patan Durbar Square, a World Heritage Site, so you can visit multiple times during your stay. The whole area is rich historically and culturally. I feel privileged to have had this special experience. Pahan Chhen was my home from home while I explored Kathmandu and Nepal.

The staff is maybe a bit too over-caring, always asking if everything's alright and how your day is going to be and how breakfast is and if the bed was Ok and... But hey, there are definitely worse things in the world :)

Perfectly situated right by the pretty Patan main square. Good breakfast, nice, modern, clean rooms

Nothing to complain. Everything best

This was the best Hotel I have ever stayed in Kathmandu!!! Central but quite, with a great view to Durbar Square Patan. The service was extraordinary and the rooftop restaurant with Nepali food great. We had the room to the front with a balcony which was very comfortable. Even better as the pictures. They also offered us to keep our luggage for trekking.

Location, facilities and ambience were value for money. Staff were extremely warm and accommodating. Rooms were cleaned daily, with fresh towels and new water being added. Breakfasts offered sufficient choice and were deliciously nourishing. The roof-top restaurant consisted of comfortable outdoor settees and blankets, as well as an important selection of cocktails.

Everything was fantastic. I even could plug my phone charger into the bedside without an adapter. If I had to be super picky, the WiFi cuts out a little, but it does that at my house in the US too, so a very minor note. I also would recommend more Nepalese and Indian items for breakfast. The breakfast is good! Wonderful masala chai and at this time of year, a la cart options -- the potato and butter veggie sides are really yummy! But I did crave aloo bhaji for breakfast, my routine all over Nepal. But I could have also gone to a restaurant! So zero complaints and the brown bread with eggs is super tasty. The dogs and pigeons are loud at night, which is charming! But you may want to sleep with earplugs, just a piece of advice. I slept very well here but go to bed early, get up early, and sleep with earplugs ;) I was grateful the traffic noise was quiet!

Every hotel I have stayed at in three weeks in Nepal had been incredibly nice, I have picked well. But Pahan Chhen has been the most perfect of all and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone. Location is amazing, a few feet to Patan Durbar Square which is most beautiful in the morning, and you can walk to every temple. I walked to every part of Patan from the hotel and if I had one more day, would visit Kirtipur by bus. I stayed here for five nights in a suite, which was huge, beautiful, private feeling, a totally lovely staff here, a great bar, and the food was exceptional! I ordered room service and probably ate more than I should but it was so delicious -- I had several veggie curries, dal, pakodas, and the nice breakfast as well that came with the room. Let me extol the shower! It is a rain shower with endless hot water and all amenities! The bathroom is spotless and lovely. The whole building is jaw dropping Newari style. The in-room heater was outstanding (I came in January). I was recovering from illness and actually stayed in bed a lot, but the bed was so comfortable (there were two in my room). My suite was huge as well, on the second floor. Clean, wonderful people, and an emphasis on the customer that is excellent. I can't even imagine staying anywhere else in Patan! So many hotels look nice in photos but then are on super crowded streets filled with honking motorcycles or are quite small. This hotel is much more quiet, set back from the road by Durbar Square, and a place for rejuvenation. Patan is nice for several days too. It has a lot of temples that are not even on the map and is really a joy to explore, plus a cool scene with college kids, but it's way more relaxed than Kathmandu.

The staff very so extremely nice, we really liked talking to them. If you are looking for a fancy western hotel, this is not exactly that. But it was so much better than that. It is located next to Dhurbar sq in Patan, best part of Kathmandu. You can see the mountains from the rooftop on a clear day, the rooms are good, and they make great food. 10/10 recommend!

There was absolutely nothing I didn't like.

The breakfast was excellent, the location was fantastic, the rooftop bar and views were top-notch, and the room was perfect for me. I loved everything about staying here and hope to again in the future. Also every staff person could not possibly have been more helpful and nice.
