I’ve never met more warm and hospitable hoteliers before. I loved the room/whole place so much, it is so charming and quaint with the traditional Newari architecture… that’s a huge treat by itself to experience a part of authentic Nepali culture and history in this 300 year old building… also I can’t forget the hot shower + Huge comfy mattress! And just having tea in the courtyard… but above all I enjoyed my conversations with Yelos the most. He is so knowledgable about Nepal’s cultural, art and spiritual history… I felt like I got 10 free guided tours without leaving the guest house. And yes it very much encapsulates the feeling of a guest house rather than a cold, corporate style hotel where there is no warmth and personal involvement. I highly recommend Hira Guest House. They helped me with so many things and saw that each guest got the same amazing service and treatment, it was so delightful to stay and I can’t wait to come back again.

The space and size of the suite are incredibly large and spacious. It features a generous living area with a balcony, which we didn’t use due to the air pollution outside. However, the living room was extremely comfortable, perfect for watching TV, exercising, doing yoga, relaxing, or even taking a nap. The kitchen is spacious but has only the basics, suitable for preparing tea, coffee, or simple meals. We requested a French press at the reception to make coffee, and they provided it immediately. The bathroom is large, but there is no curtain or partition to prevent water from spreading across the floor when showering. However, there is hot water. There wasn’t a hairdryer in the room, but upon request, the reception brought one right away. The bedroom is incredibly cozy and inviting, with a very comfortable bed. You can choose between soft ambient lighting or brighter lights. The windows are soundproof, which is great since the room overlooks the street, but no noise can be heard inside. The room itself is also very spacious. We stayed on the third floor, and the staff kindly helped us carry our luggage up upon arrival and down upon departure. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a delicious hot drink and a small welcoming ceremony, which made our stay feel even more special. One morning, they generously offered us a free tour of the more local, less touristy temples, and we absolutely loved experiencing the authentic atmosphere of the area. The best part? The service was absolutely outstanding. Breakfast was delicious, served at the restaurant of the hotel across the street, The Nanee. The service and quality were excellent. We also had dinner there one evening, and everything was exquisite. Thank you!

    1 The knowledgable and good mannered staffs! All of them. They are so amazing that I wonder what kind of on-job training they are taking! I enjoy a lot especially the quietness in low season. 2 The big idea about eco friendly. I have no problem at all about the dimmy interior design as well as the drinking water (no plastic botttle) because I am conscious it’s for the environment. 3 the classy and old school architecture. So surprised to know it’s only 24 years building. 4 the pancake and fresh juice in the buffet breakfast
