Shiva Guest House

Bhaktapur


A well-maintained place on Durbar Sq with comfy rooms (though tiny bathrooms) and a good ground-floor restaurant and coffee shop. Ask for one of the larger corner rooms if you want a view. Otherwise enquire about the larger and quieter rooms for the same price in the annexe on the western side of Durbar Sq.
