Golden Gate Guest House

This cozy guest house it tucked away in a small sanctuary of peace right next to the bustling Durbar Square of Bhaktapur. We stayed here more than 12 years ago and came back to find upgraded facilities and friendly staff. I would recommend staying here. The value for money is superb.

Nothing.

Incredible view of the Himalayas from the room and rooftop terrace, lovely staff who looked after us well and gave us great recommendations for hikes!

The property is at the best possible location in all of Bhaktapur. Right next to the 5 story temple and a minute walk from Durbar square, yet on an extremely quiet and peaceful spot. The hotel is up to top notch standards in cleanliness, and the staff is so warm it feels like family. We are so so happy with our stay and will definitely come back here! We extended our stay from one night to a week just because of how much we loved it here! Pro tip! From the rooftop you can see the most beautiful view of the citys night lights, and you can catch great sunsets from it. On clear days you can even see the langtang range! :)

Staff was kind

Room looked nothing like the pictures, it seemed dirty, the mattresses were so uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep much (bending on both side like a banana), no water from the tap above the sink, rust on the water tank, no view (faced another building 2m away).
