Bandipur chhen

Central location / Heritage - Restorted with Help from Rotary. Helpful Staff.

Narrow flights of stairs - not lit all the time.

Sumit was a wonderful host. We loved the fact that the hotel is a member of Rotary International and that part of their proceeds go to support education in 5 local schools. If possible, get one of the rooms facing the bazaar. Incredible people watching! The location can't be beat in Bandipur!

Location and service

Rooms cleanliness can be improved. Quality of bed, linen etc can be improved

Host/owner were very helpful and humble. Highly recommend.

Excellent choice in Bandipur! The property is right in the centre of this charming town and they contribute to local sustainable development and education. Authentic Newari style, friendly staff and good breakfast...what else?

Mooi hotel in een mooi pand op een centrale plek in Bandipur! We hadden een kamer met balkon, heel leuk om de straat in te kijken. ‘s Avonds kun je de luikjes sluiten en dan is het lekker stil en donker. Er zat een heerlijk ontbijt bij dat je iedere ochtend kunt kiezen met heerlijke koffie. Het personeel staat altijd klaar om te helpen, erg fijn!

地點 前台服務人員工作認真

遇到小鎮辦節慶的嘉年華，所以喧鬧兩天，幾乎無法好好的休息！ 百年老古屋，不習慣的要慎選！

Amazing stay at Bandipur Chhen, loved every minute of it. The room is tastefully decorated, we had also a beautiful balcony with full view over the picturesque main square. Let them know if you’d like a double, so the beds will be pushed together and different bedding added. Breakfast is great there, too. They helped us with transportation, i.e. Taxi and helped us with our luggage. Highly recommended!

The staff were very helpful and friendly, the breakfast had healthy options which really suited me

BANDIPUR CHHEN… BANDIPURE DELIGHT!! Long before I was due to travel, instinct and research informed me that Bandipur would be a highlight of my multi-stop, east to west, Nepal Odyssey. I put on Pause a YouTuber making his way down Bandipur’s cute heritage Main Street, and strained to make out the name of the adorable little hotel he was passing. It was BANDIPUR CHHEN! Straight to booking.com. There it was with a mighty 9.2 score and “Fantastic Location” tag. I booked immediately and fervently hoped I would be allocated one of the two, cute, private balconied rooms at the Chhen (which only has six rooms!) Fresh from Chitwan, I arrived and was greeted at Bandipur Little Gate by Manager SUMIT SHRESTHA who escorted me the short distance to the Chhen which was indeed located at the epicentre of Main Street. To my great joy I was allocated the dream room, the Best in the House, which also had a Juliet balcony! I was there over a weekend and for Nepali New Year. The Chhen’s sensational location gave me a fascinating view of Nepali families who flock to Bandipur to don traditional costumes and pose for photos. Watching from my balcony, I felt as if I had a Royal Box at the Opera! PUNAM cooked me delicious breakfasts with the most perfectly bronzed one-egg omelettes. I enjoyed utterly absorbing chats with BIKRAM PIYA who with great enthusiasm explained the commendable, philanthropic history of the Chhen. Through its association with a Scottish Rotary Club it contributes to funding a local school, educating children and training teachers. RAMI, Sumit’s lovely wife, runs the most stylish gift and souvenir shop in Bandipur and I bought two fabulous Nepali masks. Sumit was a wonderful Host introducing me to BASANTA POUDEL of “BANDIPUR VILLAGE SAFARI” who took me on a mindblowing trip to nearby Ramkot (Review pending.) Next door to Bandipur Chhen is SAMSARA, simply the best restaurant and bar in Bandipur. The staff there became an extension of my Chhen family.

Everything. Great position in the main street. The owners are amazing and welcoming. The best pillows! Coffee awesome......love Bandipur.

Es war super. Wir waren zum dritten mal da, weil es uns sehr gut gefallen hat und weil man perfekt die Strecke KTM Pokhara halbieren kann. es ist so anstrengend genug. Sumit , der Leiter ist ein sehr angenehmer Mensch. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Everything! This was my second stay in 18 months. So not disappointed. I had the best sleep and breakfast. They are lovely people and it's right in the heart of Bandipur. They have the best coffee in the village too.

在Bandipur最熱鬧的街道的中心點，兩邊都是漂亮的老Newar房子，我們住有陽台的房間，可以直接看到街道上的遊客，但晚上還是很安靜，可以住在百年老屋裡，很特別的體驗，早上還有附免費早餐、飲料，很好吃，老闆也幫我們訂了到Pokhara的車票，謝謝老闆！ 他們所有的收益都會捐給地區的五所學校，幫助這邊的孩子接受教育，原本我們訂房時並不知道，現在覺得非常開心！ 老闆是老師，幫我們訂的司機是他之前的學生，看得出來是位非常有愛心的老師，好開心看到有這樣的人在幫助地方。

Sehr kleines schönes altes Hotel mitten im Zentrum.

In Relation zu vergleichbaren Hotels etwas teuer - der Chef erzählt sofort dass der Gewinn in eine Schule geht - die Dame im Restaurant war wenig motiviert, daher war das Restaurant immer leer.

We had such a wonderful stay in Bandipur! The hospitality was outstanding – they were so kind and attentive. My boyfriend has a severe peanut allergy, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was safe. We felt so well cared for – truly an excellent experience.

I really liked the hotel. Very good location, the hotel was clean and the stuff were very friendly

The two best things about staying here: the location, and the staff.

However, the location comes with a downside: it's on the main drag, and thus noise can be an issue at times from the street. The rooms face the front of the hotel, looking out over the street.

What a wonderful place this is! Our room was very small, but that was made up for by how cozy it was. The house is 100 years old, but carefully and tastefully renovated. The hotel is located in the middle of the main street. By living here, you also support five local schools, as the profit goes to running them.

Amazing location and super friendly and helpful staff.

Little noisy in the night in the rooms facing the main street.

Everyone was friendly and helpful. It’s a really worthwhile social enterprise. They tried to accommodate veganism as much as possible.

We loved our stay here. It is a very small hotel with just a few rooms. The rooms and bathroom was great - and what we loved the most was the balcony where you could watch the world go by. The hotel is on the main pedestrian road and everything is close by - many lovely places to eat and walks to go on. Staff were amazing. And we loved that our stay benefited local communities. The hotel arranged our onward transport and were exceptionally helpful in answering all our questions. Oh - and they make the best coffee :)

Honestly, there was nothing to complain about.

Such a lovely couple who run this small traditional hotel in the centre of Bandipur. Nothing was too much trouble and we had an amazing time there. The breakfast was freshly cooked and the coffee great. Spent a number of hours sitting on the front table watching the world go by. Would highly recommend.

Nothing

The guest house is run as a social enterprise with all profits given to raising money for five local schools. Its location in the middle of the main street is terrific. It has fully retained its historic rustic charm, our room on the first floor had a balcony overlooking the street. It is not luxury, but the hotel meets all basic needs, there is a comfortable bed and hot water for showering and the breakfast was one of the best we had in Nepal and was substantial.

Nothing

Bandipur is lovely and the Chhen centrally placed. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Basic but very comfortable. A little noisy when dogs barking and people walking past on way to work or going to Mani Tai to see the sunrise (well worth the early start).walk to Ramkot worth the effort. I would be very happy if I get the opportunity to stay there again.

Great central place. Lovely character. Staff friendly Enormous breakfast

Nothing

Very good location, right in the Bandipur Bazar, in a restored newari house. Good breakfast and helpful staff.

Location just great , parcel situated at the most happening street and its balcony offering good view ! Yummy foods and great coffee

Nothing

This renovated premises only having 6 rooms , very cozy , pretty classic and authentic with a simple but it offers strategic street view lovely balcony. Its owner staffs are very friendly and helpful . Premises making great black coffee and serving yummy foods . 👍👍

Not really . The room light is a bit dim At night ..it has very good n bright natural Daylight

Lovely very charming and charismatic Hotel with super friendly and welcoming owner as well as staff. Good breakfast. Would definitely recommend to stay here

Great hotel with a perfect location at the main street. Recommend to stay here

Absolutely gorgeous and comfortable accommodation in a delightful little village with incredible views. Helped us with a jeep to Pokhara too! Delicious breakfast, highly recommend. Thank you!

Helpful and Friendly staff, went above and beyond. I had a cold and staff made me a lemon, ginger and honey drink each day which helped. Delicious breakfast, central position.

Nothing

the perfect place to stay in bandipur. we had a room with balcony overlooking the old street and were lucky enough to watch a procession for the janmashtami festival. the room was full of old nepal charm, large comfortable bed and bathroom with a nice hot shower. we also stayed at the restaurant for dinner and had a thali set and a delicious home cooked breakfast. the owner and family treated us very well

nothing to say

Very nice and welcoming traditional guest house with extremely helpful and friendly staff.

A little noise being on the main road and the dog of the neighbors barking a lot. A little hot without air conditioning and noisy fun, but we still enjoyed our stay very much.

Great place to live in. Neat and clean. Friendly staffs.

The anciant style and breakfast and location

No socket working in the room all were swinging, water pressure in the wc…

Lovely room with balcony, the kindest staff, and delicious breakfast. Recommended!

Nice location on the main pedestrianised street in a heritage building. Beautifully and authentically restored, many tourists take photos of the building. The family owners are so friendly and welcoming, and helped us with onward travel. Breakfast was home cooked and catered to us being vegetarian. Very nice balcony overlooking the interesting street.

As an historic building there is little soundproofing so earplugs are recommended.

My husband and I loved our stay. Sumit and family were warm and welcoming and the building itself is beautiful, with wood details and comfortably finished. The breakfast was the best we have had in Nepal; everything was perfect. The coffee...I cannot emphasize how incredibly welcome real coffee is! Sumit made us feel cared for and very welcome during our three nights stay, and I only wish we could have stayed longer. Bandipur is now one of our favorite cities (of the many we have visited over a couple of trips to the country) in Nepal P.S. Amazing (rare) hot shower!!

Everything was perfect

Fantastic vintage heritage stay smack in the centre. Very friendly staff, helping out wherever possible. Great coffee!

It’s a heritage house so the walls are thin. Inevitable but just realise it…

Simple but lovely accommodation in the middle of Bandipur’s marvellous walking street. Great breakfast, room and bed were comfortable, nice balcony overlooking the walking street, plenty of eateries within steps, friendly, caring and informative manager. This isn’t “gros luxe”, but you are in a historic building and town; profit from this property aids social development in the village.

Leaving it!

Amazing Property!! The Manager, Sumit made us feel at home! Just go for it!

Nothing

Small and personal hotel in great location, and with very friendly staff. Breakfast was good snd there was lots of options. The manager took time out to provide recommendations for walks/hiking and went beyond his duty to help us locate our driver when there was a mis-communication over the pick up location. Would stay again

Nothing

Amazing location in the market, the backyard has a very good view of the snow peaks, hot water in the shower all day long, the staff was very helpful.

You get to stay about as central in Bandipur as you can. The staff and owner were also super sweet and helpful with booking transport to our next location. As many others have also said the breakfast was also amazing!

It was a bit cold in the rooms as we stayed here during the winter season.

Perfect position at the very heart of Bandipur! It is situated in the main walking street, so you open your window, go on your balcony and you are already where you should be in town. The staff was VERY helpful and gentle, giving tips on what we should do and helping us arranging the activities. Breakfast was super! Highly recommended!

Not a big problem but have to mention it: the bathroom is a bit uncomfortable given that you can't throw toilet paper in the WC. But this is a common problem throughout all Nepal (apart big hotels), so we were used to it.

Great stay in Bandipur. The breakfast is amazing (also the coffees they prepare are amazing), the rooms are really comfortable and really clean. The family that owns the place is also very kind.

Nothing.

Friendly staff Ala carte breakfast Location Good coffee Good wifi

Like very common in nepal: extremely hard beds No mosquito screens

The location was excellent

The bathroom could be improved.

Best cappuccino and friendliest staff in Bandipur. Love that staying there supports a good cause as well!

The stay was comfortable. The location of the property is superb. Rooms were superb clean.

There are insufficient power outlets in the room for charging mobile and other electronic gadgets. Provision of electric kettle in the room is much needed.

Nice location in Bandipur centre. Great staff that are very helpfull and friendly. They serve a very good breakfast too (yoghurt with fruit and pancake were amazing).

Fantastic location for a hotel that was clean and comfortable. Good sized bedroom (twin or double), although the bathroom was a bit on the small side. Breakfast was very good, cooked fresh and very tasty. The best thing about the hotel was the staff and the manager Sumit in particular. He sorted all our onwards travel, gave great advice on local area, and was an absolute joy. Always checking, we were okay, even calling after we had left to make sure we had arrived at our next destination safely.

Bathroom was a little small and some outside street noise until 10.30pm

Beautiful location, beautiful view from the rooms. Right in the middle of the street. Sumit is super helpful and cool guy who helps you with everything. Bandipur chenn has a very rustic and vintage feels to it, old school staircases, old construction of the rooms, bricked walls, can see the touch of the newari culture in here. Would love to visit this place again for sure.

Nothing. Everything was to the point

Lovely little hotel in the centre of Bandipur's bazaar area. Room was cozy and breakfast was good. Staff were very helpfull.

The property was at the centre of the town. So it’s easy to go anywhere, including restaurants, shops and the snowy mountain viewpoint. We had the greatest experience seeing the sunrise at the mountain top. Drinking at the balcony was very enjoyable. Also the host was very welcoming!

It’s a bit noisy at night so might be good to prepare some earplugs.

Sumit and his family proved to excellent hosts. Preparing an excellent breakfast and assisting with forward travel arrangements. Nothing was an issue! Great rooms with balcony over the town street.

Nothing to dislike.

this place is adorable! perfect location on the main street! we loved the owner, he was super friendly and accomodating! its a family run hotel as are all hotels in Bandipur. great vibe! one of the cutest on the street. rooms were decorated nicely and bathrooms really clean. we likes the you could open the windows too. the breakfast was included and was lovely, you could pick whatever you want off the menu! i would definately stay here agin. great family run guesthouse/hotel

everything was perfect!

Beautiful room with a lovely balcony overlooking the Main Street. Good shower. Even had ice coffee! Very warm and accommodating staff.

Nothing, actually. It was a great place to stay for a night in Bandipur.

It was beautiful. My room was like a jewel! Well appointed. It was very charming. Perfect location. The host was personable, helpful, attentive staff. Great breakfast. Peaceful I hated to leave.

Nice

Nothing

The property was historic and full of character (in a good way). The staff went above and beyond what is expected. The location was great and overlooked the pedestrian-only main street (bazaar). The affiliation with Rotary and financial support of 5 local schools made our stay even more appealing.

Very helpful and kind staff, the room was very beautifully decorated and perfectly clean. Loved the location and balcony overlooking the main village street. Additionally this hotel is actually a social project with all income going in supporting local schools.

Probably slightly overpriced vs other options with the same amenities/location but for me it was totally worth it due to the social aspect of the business. With added plus that you are getting a very beautiful room/balcony view.

Very warm welcome, and helpful with booking our onward journey. Beautiful house and location, definitely worth a stop

The guest house is situated in the centre of the tourist street, being one of the traditional old buildings. There are lots of eateries next door and the food is very good at the guest house itself. The owners are very friendly and accomodating and helped us with luggage, taxis and organising taxis.

Nothing

A great location, right in the heart of the main street. The room was clean and cozy. Nice breakfast and super friendly and helpful staff :-)

Sumit helped us a lot with our luggage upon arrival as the car couldn't drive into the main street - we were very grateful for this. The room is super cute and comfortable, basic but lovely enough for our one night stopover stay. Breakfast was really good, and the location is great as its a small town street and everything is around each other. The bed is comfortable, no TV but that is fine as we were just there for one night.

The toilet doesn't have a bidet, and we struggled a little with this as we are used to having one! But we understand that's more a personal preference - nothing actually wrong with the room.

Beautiful room, friendly staff and good breakfast included with stay

Very good choice for accommodation when visiting this lovely place, Bandipur. Right on the main road, close to everything. Traditional, tastefully decorated, clean and comfortable rooms. Helpful manager, will give you all the information you need for your walks or trekkings.

We had a great time. The rooms are clean and spacious. The breakfast was very good and most of all the people are polite and really helpful. Thank you for such a pleasant staying!!

The minute I arrived and Sumit met me - i was brought coffee to my room which was absolutely charming - so authentic to the history of the past when Bandipur was a major stop on the route from Tibet to southern Nepal

Nothing!

Very quiet village and nice hotel. Super friendly staff and very good breakfast and super coffe

The hotel doesn’t have windows, hence the stray dogs on the street are sort off barking in your room.

excellent location overlooking the historical town centre wonderful breakfast with great coffee hot shower very comfy bed friendly staff

everything was great

Well located in the village in a beautiful Newar house. Clean, nice and lovely staff.

When we arrived in Bandipur, we were welcomed by the host with a nice cup of masala tea. Then we were shown to our room which was really comfortable and clean, with a nice view on the high street. In the morning we had a delicious big breakfast. Bandipur is an amazing peaceful oasis in the middle of the Nepalese chaos and our hosts, Sumit and his family, made us feel like home: they were super helpful, welcoming and caring. We will definitely come back. thank you for making the best of our stay in Bandipur
