              Stayed 1 night in December 2021

              One of my favorite stays in Nepal”

              I stayed one night at Peacock guest house in Bahktapur and highly recommend it. The old building is beautiful and the room is simply and stylishly designed in a way that mode it comfortable and modern while honoring the historic architecture. There was a heater and heated blanket as well as hot water which, if you’ve ever traveled in Nepal, is not a given, and in December much appreciated as there is no central heating. The owners are so lovely and very helpful with suggestions for transportation and where to find things in the city. The adjoining cafe/restaurant is in a beautiful courtyard and the breakfast was great. The only thing that I would suggest would be to somehow cover up the open window to the bathroom at that time of the year as it is quite cold (at least for us foreigners who are used to central heating!) Otherwise I would highly recommend this lovely guest house to anyone coming to the very charming city of Bahktapur. Had I not already pre-booked a room in Kathmandu I would have gladly stayed at least another night.

              I really enjoyed my stay at the Peacock Guesthouse. That's to mention the super central location, which allowed me to walk through the temple grounds early in the morning before breakfast. In addition, the room was lovingly furnished with a lot of taste and the staff was also very accommodating. By the way, the restaurant is also excellent.

              700 years surround you”

              The hotel, a typical Nepalese architecture building, 700 years old, is located in what in my opinion is the best square in Bhaktapur, quiet and free from the tourist crowds. The hotel's amenities are in line with the age of the building, narrow and steep stairs, low doors, etc. The rooms are spacious, with tasteful decoration. The private bathroom is simple, but perfectly covers the needs. The breakfast is very good, complete and delicious, as is the cuisine of its Mayur Restaurant. The hotel is run by its owners who do their best to make your stay there even more enjoyable. I recommend this hotel, which is an architectural gem.

              I would build my house based on this place!”

              Simply love the architecture of this place! It gives such a great feeling of coziness and light space that I'm actually seriously considering basing aspects of my house on it. Also, the location is right smack at one of the best locations in Bhaktapur - right where Dattatreya Square is, which is a very atmospheric place to be in - you see pigeons flying, smell incense in the air and the morning prayers from the temple right in the square. And since it is a protected site, very few vehicles are there. Also, the host - Arun - is fantastic! He is well-travelled, a great communicator and a fantastic host that is evidently very passionate about his guesthouse. Definitely would come back again! - Daniel & KK

              Fantastic place! Honestly, one of the best hotel experiences I've had. There is nothing more impressive than staying in UNESCO historical building right in the majestic town square. Owner was hospitable and very helpful throughout my stay. I had such a wonderful time, I have plans to revisit the area and stay in the same guesthouse!

              Room, design, staff

              Peacock Guesthouse is a very beautiful hotel with good design and decoration,antique wood carving everywhere.It is located on Datattray Square. I booked a deluxe room on the top floor with amazing view of the square. Althogh it's quite noisy in the morning, I love the stylish room, and enjoy so much viewing the local life of Bhaktapur from the window.There is a beautiful courtyard and the reception hall is a good place for drinking coffee and chatting.The owners of the hotel are very friendly. Bhaktapur is very peaceful and much less crowded than Kathmandu. I did have a very beautiful memory here. I hope to stay longer next time.

              Friendly, good value for money and centrally located

              The owners speak fluent English and were a great help to us. They organized taxis and tours, and advised us on where to go and what to see. It was also wonderful to be able to sit and chat with two highly-educated and cultured people (they were very generous with their time!) about all aspects of Nepal. I couldn't recommend it more highly. The city of Bhaktapur itself is an essential part of any visit to the Khatmandu valley. Rich in culture, history and architecture, it is easily worth at least a three-day visit. The Peacock Guest House is ideally located for exploring all the local sights.

              exactly what we wanted”

              This guesthouse was a perfect cultural experience for us as our first night in Nepal and in Bhaktapur. They provided a driver (extra cost) to pick us up from the airport that I highly recommend as they will lead you through the intense crowd and into their safe car. Nighttime in October is fairly cold and they provide an extra blanket. The place had low ceilings which was really cool as almost all places on Bhaktapur do. Their Annex building does have higher ceilings if you need. Breakfast was amazing. They make their own jam based on fruit in-season. Each morning your fruit selection will be a bit different which is great. Excellent coffee, tea and muffins. location is perfect it's in a temple area but it's away from the busy streets. Everything is within a 15 minute walk. The family is amazing. Any questions you have they will gladly answer and give you extra info if you need it. They will help you with anything you need. They definitely made the stay much more special for us as we got to know them. If you need a guide, I would recommend Bikram as you may see him hanging out at the guesthouse. He knows the whole city and will take you wherever you need to go. Overall amazing experience. Will return for another stay next time we are in Bhaktapur.

              Absolutely love this place. It was located inside Dattatreya Square, just a few minutes walk to Durbar Square. The guest house is very beautiful, the building itself has more than 700 years of history. The family who run this place are absolutely friendly and helpful. The room is very spacious and beautiful. They provide heater and electric blanket inside the room. Breakfast is tasty. Really recommend this place when staying in Bhaktapur.

              Historic gem in the centre of beautiful Bhaktapur”

              Staff, location, history

              Situated on a fascinating historic square in the centre of Bhaktapur, this guesthouse more than lives up to its reputation. Whilst it might not have some of the luxuries of a full-scale hotel, staying in its 500 year old rooms give you an experience that can't be replicated anywhere else. Despite its age, the room was clean and the bed comfortable. Yes, the ceilings are low and especially the doorways but that's how they build them in 1470! Best of all, the staff are lovely and interesting to talk to with superb english skills... I highly recommend this guesthouse and will stay here again if in Bhaktapur.

              we were satisfied with this guest house. The owners of the guest house were real nice, and have excellent english speaking skills. We actually have checked out already, and they allowed us to leave our luggage for overnight and get it back the day after. Also, the guest house was centrally located, closed to Bhaktapur major attractions.

The room was beautifully decorated, spacious, and clean. The staff is amazing! They are willing to help with anything you need. The food at the restaurant was delicious. This place is a 10. I have already recommended it to several people.

              I enjoyed my stay so much that I came back again at the end of my trip! I returned not only because of the comfort and cleanliness of the room and the beautiful woodcarvings around me, but also because of the genuine kindness and friendliness of the owners. They went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and enjoying my time in Bhaktapur. I came as a guest but left knowing that I had made two wonderful friends.

              We greatly enjoyed our stay in the Peacock Guest House, due not only to the fascinating surroundings of Bhaktapur but also to the staff's amiable and earnest interest in making our stay great. There was a lack of heater which was kind of tough but we're sure they did their best trying to fix it. The low ceilings were endearing and the breakfast very nice. Would recommend in warmer months but that goes for everywhere we stayed in Nepal!
