It is a very basic place so do not expect first class accommodation but it has the advantage that it is in Bhaktapur itself so if you are there for seeing the festival you can walk to all locations. The rooms are clean, the bathroom truly basic but the food is good and the staff is very friendly. More

If you're the sort of person who likes taking photos of "the view from my hotel room.." you could hardly do better than the Shiva..1, that is. It was cold in town when I was there, and the elecricity was extremely unreliable.mit made me thankful for the gas hot water. The rooms overlooking the square are more expensive, of course,... More

First day, I stayed single room not square side. Next day I asked changing room to square side, so I was given 3 bed room square side without additional charge. Thank you. More

I booked this with a friend, as we wanted to visit Bhaktapur late at night/early in the morning and not have the hassle of travelling from central Kathmandu. It's in a great location, you walk straight out of the guest house onto the square and we had views from our room. It was great to just crawl out of bed... More

I've stayed at hundreds of guest houses over the years and this is truly one of my favorites. Though this time I stayed alone - as a tour group leader - I will bring back others in the future.

We stayed in Shiva guest house 1 right on the square. The staff are very freindly and helpful. No lifts but they carried our bags up to the top floor. Also a very good restaurant, though our Nepalese friend described the curry as "tourist curry" it was very mild. Also given good and accurate tourist information. More

Right in the centre of the town this is a great guest house. Very friendly with a popular restaurant. No lift to the upstairs room but staff carried our bags up. A good place to stay away from manic Kathmandu. More

guest house is very nice and friendly. shiva gh 2 is in a quite place, better than shiva gh 1. Shiva 2 is also close to entrance of dubar squar. Everything was good except no hotwater for shower at night due to power failure. However in the next morning hotwater came. If I come to nepal again, I will still... More
