A Home Away from Home
This is a family run guesthouse, so everything is provided in a personal way, with very special care and attention.
9.3
This has to be one of the best accommodations I've experienced in 30 years of international travel. The staff was very personable and treated me like their own family. Without their help and guidance, I would not have had the opportunity to photograph the many non-tourist route events that took place during my 5-week stay in Nepal. I came to the Shiva guesthouse as a guest, I'm leaving as a friend! Thank you Sareesh and your family! Michael Stetson

Great location at the heart of Durbar Square
The location was great and convenient as it was located at the Durbar square. Dining was good with wide selection on the menu. The room was also comfortable.

It was very convenient to walk around the sightseeing areas. Meals were good and value for money. However, as the restaurant was on the ground floor and enclosed, the smell got quite strong to the rooms at the top. Wifi was only available at the restaurant but weren't available on the first day we stayed there. We stayed on the 3rd floor with attached bathroom but there weren't any hot shower on one of the days were we there.

The location is amazing.
Location, location, location.

My stay was ok. The best thing about Shiva is easily the location. It can't be beat! The restaurant is quite nice, but get there early as it can get quite busy. The shared bathroom was very dirty, hence showering was done very quickly. Ideal for those on a budget and for those who don't require a nice shower.

Bisket Jatra, enjoyed from the room
The hotel location is fantastic -- nestled in a beautiful square near the primary drop-off spot for Bhaktapur. The breakfast (included) was filling and good, and the staff was extremely friendly.

We stayed at the Shiva Guest house during one of the busiest times for them -- Bisket Jatra, which falls during the Nepal new year celebrations. The city was alive and it was a great location to watch the comings and goings from. The included breakfast -- tea/coffee, eggs, potatoes, juice -- was filling and quick. The hotel staff is accommodating (bringing tea to our room), friendly, and spoke good English.

We thought we would be staying in Baktaphur Durbar Sq however, our room was located in the new guest house which is outside durbar sq. Quite disappointing

The day I had to leave Nepal, there was a general strike, where it was forbidden to use cars, unless you were transporting a tourist to the airport. Regardless of the situation, the owner took me and another person to the airport, knowing that they may have to wait many hours before they could return with another tourist passenger they could take to their hotel. Now...that's what I call extraordinary service. Thank you!

I stay three. Days in this hotel and have à plessant time. Went to Noma Bhouda and Patauni by foot and by bus. Dhulikel is abouth half à hour walk. It's à easy way, dont worry.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Patauni is à beautiful village on walking distance. It's also possible to take the bus with changing by bus in Banepa. Easy and cheap!
