As a very minor point, there was some public restoration work going on preventing direct access to the structure at late hours. In the square they are busy working to restitute the monuments endangered by the earthquake to their pristine splendour.

The hotel is very conveniently situated on the border of the iconic Durbar Square. The personnel is always smiling and very helpful

Clean, comfy, amazing view to the Patan Durbar Square, and all the employees were very helpful and accommodating.

Need a better system to inform the sightseeing Council guards that one is a temporary local resident and therefore not fair game for daily charge!

My 30 year old daughter and boyfriend loved their stay here as did I. My daughter's first return to Lalitpur since she was 2 1/2 years of age. I 've been visiting intermittently for half a life time and the Pahan Chhen is what this side of town has been waiting for. An authentically and sympathetically restored Newari townhouse hidden away in a traditional courtyard behind Durbar Square. Rooftop is perfect for the local atmosphere and panoramic views whilst the en suite bedrooms are of the highest spec by local standards. Hot water plentiful and beds comfortable. Nice on site bar and restaurant for those evenings when you just want to flop. And the staff live up to local hospitality standards...eben guiding me to an excellent barber! Congratulations on developing this Newari home from home.

It's not a problem for me but access to the rooms are through steep steps. Just saying. Buts is a given in Kathmandu basically.

Wow. I would have stayed my whole time in Nepal here... breakfast was very complete and ok for Gluten free and lactose free. I was working from the room for two days, with video calls and Wifi was great they arranged a taxi for me to go to Dhukithel for an affordable price (2800rp). Very centric, i absolutely adored Patan. And the rooftop...oh the rooftop and the dinner!! I had fresh fish and it was delicious.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Pahan Chhen in Kathmandu, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in every way! From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive. The check-in process was seamless, and I was impressed by how they mix the modern design in a historic home in Durbar square. My room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a stunning view of Patan durbar square. The bed was incredibly comfortable I enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the morning. Overall, I would highly recommend the Pahan Chhen to anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable stay in Kathmandu. I would definitely return here on my next visit!

The most fascinating aspect of this hotel was it's location. You will be living right beside the mesmerizinng Patan Durbar square and the magical alleys. The staff were hospitable. It's a perfect place to get a feeling of the traditional Nepali neighborhood and it's cultural heritage.

Some repair works in the courtyard though it didn't bother us too much

We were travelling in a company of friends with kids. Our experience at this hotel was absolutely outstanding! The rooms are spacious, the beds are large and comfortable, and the atmosphere is refreshingly cool and undoubtly clean. The location is simply unbeatable—right on Patan Durbar Square, with all of Patan's incredible landmarks just a short walk away. Yet, despite being in the heart of the city, the hotel remains peaceful, as the windows open to a quiet inner courtyard. One of the true highlights is the stunning rooftop terrace, offering breathtaking city views and mesmerizing sunsets. The service was nothing short of exceptional—the staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. A special mention goes to the restaurant team on the terrace, where the waiter made our last evening truly memorable with his excellent service. A huge thank you to the management and staff for making our stay such a wonderful experience. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kathmandu!
