Our first time in Nepal, and we stayed at Goathchen. It was such a good experience - the place itself - clean, traditional and cozy, the location right next to Durbar Square, and the hosts - so generous, that we ended up staying there once again when we passed through Katmandu.

The low wooden ceilings, the wooden floors, big beautiful windows, the floor seating, and the very cozy low-rise bed, and the economy of the bathroom - very endearing and grounded - hobbit like

Breakfast is shared with great generosity, as was the elaborate Newari dinner we were invited to, along with two of our friends who were staying elsewhere. Even more generous was our host Brijender in sharing his stock of the local Nepali Ruksi. We so enjoyed the Ruksi that we carried some back with us.

Infact i enjoyed the ruksi so much that i forgot my phone and passport behind the next morning, much to the irritation of my partner. And Brijender came all the way to the airport to drop them off, making sure we didnt miss our early morning flight to Pokara. Which, as chance would have it, ended up being 2 hours late anyways.

Brijender also helped us hire a bike. We rode along with him, on the near empty roads thanks to the Dasai season, as he showed another guest around PasupatiNath and Boudanath. He speaks Nepali, Hindi, English and German, as far as i know.

Brijender, thank you for helping us out and sharing your space. Nepal is extremely special. We hope to come back someday. Much love to you and your family. 

Notes: the wooden stairs are steep. as in most old traditional homes.
if you, like us, avoid plastic and bottled water, and drink plenty of water - please discuss it with the host. we initially found the drinking water facility to be limiting. Hoping that a waterfilter appears in the Goathchen courtyard where guests can fill their water bottles, and actively reduce plastic use.

Durbar Square's cozy little nook

Goathchen is a lovely little 300-year old guest house tucked away in a quiet alley literally just around the corner from Patan Durbar square. 

The rooms are clean and charming with warm running water. Bed was comfortable with spring mattress and synthetic pillows. 

The owner and his wife are very generous and kind; they looked after us and offered delicious breakfast (local yoghurt, eggs, fresh fruit and coffee/tea) in the lush courtyard. 

They even took the time and celebrated my birthday with a traditional Newari ceremony with offerings and flowers. So sweet!

If you are looking for an authentic home stay experience I would definitely recommend Goathchen. 



A hidden gem in Patan

What a great time in this house! cosy, clean, lovely bedrooms and peaceful street, just a few meters from Durbar square. The owner and his family are very kind too and we recommend the delicious breakfast. A place to be in Patan!

Patan

A 300 year-old perfectly preserved house. Very well located, in the historical center of Patan. Great atmosphere, very nice owners and delicious breakfast. Everything is perfect.
Just be careful, the house is hidden in a small alley. Enjoy!

Amazing

We spend a few days in this guest house last October and we really enjoyed it. The place is so beautiful, confortable, clean, quiet and with hot showers. The hosts are really helpful and welcoming, and the food is amazing. 
It is also very well located, near Durbar Square.
We really recommend this place. 
Thank you to all the family, from Marie, Philippe, Suzanne and Alex.

Wonderful place

The house is so beautiful and well-preserved, with beautiful traditional decoration.
So close from Durbar Sqaure, Golden Temple...
The location is very quite.
We got a warm welcome from this very nice couple, tea, hot water bottles for the rooms ;-)
Breakfast outside was very nice, we got eggs, toasts, fruit salad with great local yogurt, pancakes, and bought chocolat cereals and green mint tea for us ;-)
The room were large and comfortable, but still very bit cold in December, even with the hot water bottles.

Wonderful stay in Patan

The owner turned his 300 years old family home into this beautiful hospitable place: decorative Newari wood craving windows, old but stylish brass sink and tap, exquisite bedding liners, cushion cover and wooden cupboards, lush garden...yet you feel very homey here!

The owner, his wife, his sons are all very smiling and helpful.  The dog Kale is very adorable and friendly too, he loves your stroking and he remembers you.

I love the garden, so many different kinds of plants and flower, very lush and very green.  I love chilling out there, siping tea and reading my book.  The breakfast is delicious too!

The place is tucked inside from the road, so it is very quiet all day long.  Yet, it is very close to the Durbar square, and many nice restaurants and shops.

As it is tucked in, so call the owner before arriving, he will guide you in.  If you are thinking to stay in Patan, this is no-doubt your number one choice!

Thanks Bijendra for your hospitality, I will surely come back!

Cozy and homey feel!

The manager definitely made us feel liké home. We booked last minute and he organised our stay very well. We had a welcome basket and he even invited us for dinner. That was awesome. The breakfast is delicious as well. Very fresh. The place is a bit hard to find but in a lovely courtyard.

We had the best welcome ever
