Siddhi Laxmi Guest House

Bhaktapur


Sharing a courtyard with the Til Mahadev Narayan Temple, this Newari-inspired guesthouse has comfortable rooms, though mattresses are hard and bathrooms are tiny. Most rooms have TVs, small balconies and decent views, and there’s a rooftop and ground-floor restaurant. Earplugs will come in handy, as there are barking dogs and ringing temple bells to contend with from 4am.
