This is not the first visit to Nepal, but for the first time we stopped in Bhaktapur - it’s definitely worth doing! A wonderful, charming hotel in an ancient building on the oldest square in the city. We asked for a specific room and it was kindly provided to us. Everything was exactly as in the photo and even a little better. You must understand that in traditional houses there is no sound insulation and if the windows of your room overlook the square, you will hear 24 hours a day, but you will also be able to watch what is happening from the first row. The hotel is run by a very hospitable family and you can meet and interact with all generations. The service is excellent! Lovely rich breakfast, good restaurant menu and the best coffee. The most delicious yogurt in Nepal, just like “grandmother made.” The rooms are well equipped, comfortable beds, mosquito net (in our room), kettle, coffee maker, drinking water. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel.

This was my second visit to the Peacock and it was just as charming as I’d remembered. It’s a very old house with a warren of rooms and walkways leading to them all. Each guest can squirrel themselves away from the hubbub outside (it was Nepali new year) and rest in the cool and quiet. The owner and staff go out of their way to help with any query and the breakfast and coffee are delicious (esp the royal curd). I’ll be back again one day, I love watching Bhaktapur from the steps outside the house.

Our second visit after a seven year gap. It is certainly the most atmospheric, historic small hotel (really a historic building) in Bhaktapur and overlooks the square that is the centre of festival and celebration life of the city (and the least affected by the past earthquake damage and ongoing restoration needs). So tremendous location, with frequent musical processions outside. Free high quality coffee. Breakfast is good. The staff and owner are always responsive.

Amazing guest house in historic building with great ambience and features. Communication before arrival, service during the stay and overall experience was exceptional. If we return to Bhaktapur we would absolutely stay with PGH again. Perfect location to walk to all the main sites. Short walk to town gate to get bus (50Rs pp each way) to UNESCO site, Changu Naryan.

Staying at Peacock Guesthouse was an experience on its own! It is a piece of a medieval fairytale brought into the modern world. Not only you feel the history everywhere, but also the artistry of Bhaktapur craftsmen: the wood-carved windows overlooking the oldest square of the town and the temple, the wooden artifacts in the cute courtyard, the craftsman himself working next to the restaurant…. We marveled every minute of our stay there, we tasted a good amount of their great food and we spent literally hours observing this lively town from our windows… If you are in Bhaktapur and you like living in history and art, look no further.
