Hotel Yechu

The property has potential to be good. The grounds and hotel look nice and it’s not too far out of the way from the main tourist area. However, the overall stay was poor for the following reasons. Firstly, upon arrival we were told that the hotel was closed. There was no hotel staff with the exception of a few men that were tending to the grounds. The owner did not realize that there were guests arriving on that day. In any case he made an exception and allowed us to stay. Secondly, the property is gated which can be good for safety. However, as we left the property and came back after dinner and another occasion the door would be locked. This meant we had to shout for around 5 minutes and knock for someone to hear and let us in. Thirdly, the breakfast was good. Though that being said, after coming down and checking the kitchen the next day to let them know we were going to eat out we found that they hadn’t washed any of the utensils and cleaned the area to get ready to cook again. Lastly, there was no apology for any of the inconveniences and a lack of understanding that what was happening should have been looked at as unacceptable. Overall, the hotel can be great. They just need to change some practices. Good luck!

We were so happy with our stay. It was secure, safe, clean. God food and extremely reasonable. It was a welcome relief after trekking in Nepal for a few weeks .

The stay was amazing, the owner was so kind and the staff was so helpful. The breakfast was very nice and i highly recommed staying here in Bhaktapur

Hotel exterior, grounds, lobby and restaurant are well-maintained, attractive and clean. Hotel located in quieter area. Breakfast was great - made to order with lots of options like eggs, bacon, pancakes, beans, toast, honey. Coffee was great. Pool was not ready for use at the time. Room interior a little disappointing. Beds were basic comfort. One extra pillow brought smelled of urine. Small but adequte bathroom. Plenty of hot water for shower. Reception provided kettle and cups upon request. Stayed 2 nights. Housekeeping forgot to clean room. Reception provides shuttle to old city sq. for nominal fee. Probably would stay there again.

The hotel is a beautiful oasis in a busy part of town. The building feels like a mansion. Our room was air conditioned with lots of space, free-wi-fi, cable TV, and clean. The food was simply OK. We had better food in the square. The service was most excellent. The manager walked us to Durbar Square (a mile) and gave us a tour within the square. They offered free transportation to the square too. We preferred to walk, and once you leave the gate, you are fully immersed in the hustle and bustle of the city.
