First up hotel location is excellent, with a rooftop overlooking Durbar Square. Everyone we met who worked there was delightful – unfailingly helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious. The room was very comfortable and well thought out (good, hot shower; and tea & coffee facilities in the room).

The hotel needs a little TLC

Nice hotel perfectly located in Durbar Square. The staff are very kind accommodating. Good breakfast.

The hotel feels a little neglected -- there are buckets and rags in the hallways, staff in the lobby on their cell phones. The hotel advertises a rooftop cafe or at least a "restaurant," but there isn't one. Be sure to inquire about whether the AC/heat works. Mine didn't.

Very kind and helpful staff, exceptional location, large room. The breakfast was very nice, good coffee.

We had to move rooms as one smelt of cigarette smoke

Super location , and the best hot shower we have had in Nepal

The room was quite cold. But the AC has a heater function which helped a lot.

Lovely Hotel in Bhaktapur. Very nice and spacious room. Good hot shower and nice bathroom. Amazing view from the rooftop terrace. The breakfast was very good as well (Tea, Coffe, Eggs, Toast, Fruit, Curd, Granola). Overall a great stay. Just a side note: you need to pay an entry fee to enter Bhaktapur 15 USD per Person.

Rajesh and the entire staff were amazing! They are helpful and do their best to ensure guests are comfortable. Our room was clean, comfortable, and we had hot water for our showers. The location is incredible! We walked everywhere. The views of Durbar Square from the rooftop are spectacular. We would definitely stay here again.

I wish they would open the bar on the roof (right now you need to order from the reception, 4 stories below). The interior garden is not welcoming.

Very nice manager. The location is incredible, very nice view from the roof. The room was clean and comfortable

Amazing location right on the square. With a rooftop terrace where you can overlook the whole square. The staff were genuinely lovely. They went out of their way to ensure our comfort and cater for our vegan diet. Thank you for all your help and making our stay in Bhaktapur so enjoyable.

The location was amazing. Opening our windows onto Durbar Square was a highlight. It is so so central and the staff are super friendly and helpful.

The hotel is located next to the square and since it was festival season, it was very loud.

The hotel is beautiful! The room was very clean and tidy, with a super comfortable bed. The staff was so kind and the breakfast was also delicious.

Beautiful old building right next to Durban square

The room was a bit dark and cleanliness can be improved. It can be noisy at night due to the many dogs in town but good ear plugs can solve the issue.

Charming hotel right next to Durbar Square with amazing terrace overlooking the main square. The room was nice and comfortable, nice breakfast but what really made the difference was the lovely and helpful staff. Rajesh especially has been extremely kind and assisted us when we felt sick! He is a plus and deserves 5 stars!

We didnt like the breakfast but the coffee was fantastic!!

Stayed in May 2024

Hotel was closed early in the morning, and we had to wait for staff to open up the doors, for us to go and explore the square etc. This was a bit nerve wrecking given that we wanted to experience the square waking up early in the morning. Other than this everything was amazing.

Location is amazing. You can spend extra time in the square, if tired you go and rest etc.

Excellent location, very friendly staff, a pleasant and comfortable room, and delicious breakfast! Would stay again. Bhaktapur and its Durbar Sq are a must see for anyone travelling to Kathmandu. Highly recommend!

Bhaktapur is an undiscovered jewel in Kathmandu Valley. Hotel Traditional is ideally located as close to Bhaktapur's lovely Durbar Square as one can get. In sharp contract to chaotic Thamel in Kathmandu, Bhaktapur is quiet and peaceful. One gets the feeling of what traditional Nepal is really like in this charming place. And Hotel Traditional is a nice place from which to enjoy it.

The room was too dark - needs more lighting. Not enough electric sockets. The wardrobe and drawers needed a good cleaning. The shower unit was just ok - lots of water got on the floor. It could get quite noisy outside at times, barking dogs, roosters, people in the square. The courtyard garden could be lovely if it was tidied up. This is small stuff though - it's great value for money and would stay again.

Super location right on Durbar Square within easy walking distance of sites. Great rooftop terrace overlooking the square. Decent breakfast. Spacious room, modestly furnished, with comfy bed. Effective, quiet AC unit. Couldn't hear any noise from other rooms. Pleasant staff - Rajesh very helpful with good English.
