Backyard Hotel

A small modern hotel located on an alley just off the Thamel Rd in the southern part of Thamel. There are lots of bars and restaurants both here and farther north in Thamel. Durbar Square and other historical sites are a short walk south. Rooms are very clean, and a/c, hot water, and wifi all worked fine. Breakfast is on the ground floor, with several set options cooked to order. The hotel offered an airport transfer, and after that we booked the hotel driver for other day trips in the surrounding area. When we checked out, the hotel driver took us to our next hotel in Bhaktapur. The staff were very helpful, and recommended restaurants also.

All the rooms are upstairs, and there is no elevator. Our room was on the 7th floor (in American terms). Though it took 96 steps to get there, it had a beautiful rooftop patio which was bigger than the room. Request a lower floor if you have trouble with stairs.
