Great location, gorgeous hotel, great staff, breakfast with coffee/ tea lovely. Minor point/ Could provide some bottled water on arrival in the room, and each morning of the stay. Would return in future.

For us it was not a problem at all and in fact added to the charm of the house, but people with mobility issues should be aware of the narrow and steep stairs and low doorways. The hotel makes this very clear and it surprised me to see people complain about this in the review :)

Super pretty and comfortable! Lovely to see the inside of this gorgeous Newari house. Quiet at night (but busy during the day), nice and flexible staff, just by a cute and lovely village square and temple. Very lovely inner courtyard and wood carving exhibit.

There was not a single thing that we didn’t like about this property. It was perfect!!

We loved the Peacock Guest House. It was in a really great location, and the owners were such lovely, friendly people. We loved how this 700 year old building has been so lovingly restored to present a comfortable, stylish hotel that is also sympathetic to its Newari roots. The showers were hot, the rooms were comfortable, cosy and warm. A hiccup in our plans meant we needed to stay one night more than we had booked and the owners accommodated us without any problem. And with such a beautiful hotel to stay in, we didn’t mind the extra night’s stay and the chance to explore Bhaktapur even more. We look forward to staying at the PGH when we are in Bhaktapur again!

It is right on a main square, so if you have a room on the front side of the inn, you might awake to some early morning pilgrims.

Room and facilities were incredible. Just one of the most beautiful rooms I've ever stayed in. Also, the location was fantastic. The staff was wonderful and very accommodating.

If you are wanting to experience authentic Nepalese culture then this is the place for you. Our room overlooked the square and we felt like we were part of the community sharing in their daily lives and celebrations. The staff are great and the food is amazing.

Shower was a little bit funky, but we managed

Historic building and room decorated with authentic antiques and design care

Perfect location right on a beautiful temple square but still felt quiet and peaceful. The restaurant here is fantastic and the building has so much charm and character. The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable but be warned that an old Nepali building is not for tall people! Even I had to stoop to enter the room and I am 5"3 but it was all part of the experience of staying in a beautiful old building such as this. The owner was very friendly and accommodating and arranged a driver to take me on a sunrise drive up to Nagarkot.

The shower could have been better as water pressure was low and there were minor interruptions with hot water, but this is understandable as the building and location are quite old.

The room was excellent. The venue was unique with lots of character. Breakfast was great each day. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was excellent.

If you're tall you will have to stoop all the time, even in your own room. Everything is really low

It's right on the most beautiful square in Bhaktapur, with a quiet secluded courtyard and a lovely little restaurant.

- Stayed in Deluxe room overlooking the square (Nov24, 1 night) with great views from the latticed (& glazed) windows. Own private, interior sun terrace with table and chairs to relax. Lovely window seating areas inside the room. - Great location, but can get a little noisy during the day (mopeds), but quieter than other 2 main squares, and will be quieter at night. Close to local Nepali life with lots of alleys to explore and local stores (day & evening), with street food, temples & museums. - Window views of the Temple and ceremonies are perfect for photographers. Note, bell ringing (think cow bells) can start as early as 4am with locals offering puja. - Heritage architecture throughout the guesthouse, in keeping with history & location. A pity the woodcarving is not currently on site due to house building commitments (Nov24), but 1st floor showroom (with beautiful pieces) was open to wander through. - Good breakfast, unlimited Illy coffee (for guests) and good lunch/dinner options (Nepali & international) at the covered courtyard restaurant, Mayur (check time of last orders). Coffee was also offered on arrival whilst checking in. 🙂 - Gentleman managing the guesthouse was friendly & extremely helpful; offering advice on cost effective transport options to other sites, next hotel, airport: -> Using local taxi app: A small taxi, 1 passenger + suitcase was 720 NPR (c. £4), at 5pm (Nov24) for the 30-40 minute ride,with traffic, to Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) departure terminal. -> Advised other guests departing for a day hiking trip & moving to next hotel that he could arrange a car to send on their luggage; to save them time & money returning just to collect their luggage. - It can get chilly at night in November. But the double bed had a working electric blanket set up for use, if desired. A hairdryer is also available from the front desk.

Soke things are a bit worn out, but just small details.

Great location, authentic house, friendly staff. Bed was comfy, liked the small details in the room and around the house itself. Pretty nice breakfast.

My bathroom was a little stuffy and I had to duck a little bit (I’m five foot ten) expected in such an ancient building - but that was such a minor thing when the room and view and food and staff were so fabulous

Everything was absolutely perfect. The beautiful, huge room overlooking the square is a must! If you need two rooms it can connect to another beautiful huge room via a door you can choose to lock when/if you want privacy from your co-travellers. The food and cocktails are delicious and it is a fun and easy 10 minute walk to the main square via lots of gorgeous shops. The staff were all LOVELY too!

The shower facilities could be better( although I know about physical limitations). Despite that, I will stay there again in future.

The heritage building, uniqueness, good location, very helpful and friendly staff. Best coffee and good food.

It was all wonderful

Peacock Guest House is a beautiful 700year old Newari building situated in one of the oldest squares in the UNESCO world heritage town of Bhaktapur. This was one of the most beautiful and magical hotels we have stayed in and I only wish we had more time to enjoy its charms. The management and staff were extremely helpful and the restaurant and cocktails superb.
