Housed inside the Unesco-restored Shestha House mansion, this place is more traditional than most and offers a window onto what it must have been like to be a well-to-do resident of Patan in centuries past. Rooms are all different but are decked out in traditional style, with divan seating areas and coir matting, and there’s a nice communal living room.
On a practical level the roadside rooms are noisy during the day, while anyone over 5ft 6in tall will feel a bit cramped. Rates include breakfast.
