Staying at Peacock GH was one of the best experiences I've ever had on my travels. It's a beautiful building, that's been preserved equally beautifully. You probably need 1 whole day just taking it in. Aru & Prava, the proprietor & proprietress sibling duo, take so much pride in giving guests the best experience ever, you won't want to leave. The best part, they make you feel at home & comfortable so gently & kindly, without being invasive in any manner whatsoever. And the food, especially the momos, they were delicious. Breakfast was generous & as heavenly as the coffee. Mayur, the in-house restaurant, certainly lived up to the reviews. Being at the doorstep of the awe-inspiring Dattatreya Temple & the peace invoking Dattatreya Square are other definite pluses. Not staying here when visiting Bhaktapur will be doing yourselves a huge disservice, unless you can't manage stairs, coz all rooms are only accessible via stairs

Beautiful building - 700 year old building with wood carving and little doorways. Rooms were tastefully fitted - with good linen bedding and soft furnishings. Very simple, with clean and beautiful aesthetic. Excellent location in the square - good restaurants close by. Fried tofu was excellent for breakfast.

What a stunning and historic guesthouse! It truly feels like stepping into a magical realm, where the spirit of centuries past comes alive. Upon entering, you instantly sense the rich history that has withstood the test of time. The rooms are delightful, and while the bathroom in our room was quite basic, it was perfectly understandable and did not detract from our experience at all. The restaurant, set in a charming courtyard surrounded by lush plants and beautiful statues, offers a delicious dishes that we thoroughly enjoyed. The warm hospitality from the reception staff, along with the owner, made our stay even more special; they truly are wonderful people. I highly recommend this gem of a place, especially for its prime location right on the famous square and just a stone's throw from the temple!

We loved staying at the Peacock Guest House!! It sits in a really great location in Dattatreya Square, so there’s always something to see right outside the front door. We loved how this 700 year old building has been so lovingly restored to present a comfortable, stylish hotel that is also sympathetic to its Newari roots. The showers were hot, the rooms comfortable, cosy and warm. A hiccup in our plans meant we needed to stay one more night than we had booked and the owners accommodated us without any problem. In fact, they were such lovely people and really made the experience pleasant. With such a beautiful hotel to stay in, we didn’t mind staying an extra night as it gave us a chance to explore Bhaktapur even more. And because they’re so centrally located it was easy to get out and see local attractions like Durbar Square and Pottery Square. We look forward to staying here again when we return to. Bhaktapur in the future.

I have been coming and going to the Kathmandu valley in Nepal for the better part of two decades, and the Peacock Guesthouse is my favorite place to stay. It has the feel of a home away from home. The guesthouse is run by Arun, the manager, and his family, who are always so caring and attentive. Tucked away in the ancient city of Bhaktapur and surrounded by the peacefulness of the Dattatreya Square, you will feel transported back 700 years in this brick-and-wooden-delight of a building. Leave the chaos of Kathmandu behind and stay here instead; perch yourself on the main patio or the rooftop patio with a book, a drink or both; or have a beer in the veranda while watching the endless festivities, processions, and the trumpeters and drummers pass you by as they transverse the square. I look forward to my morning milk coffee breakfast, which includes fresh fruit, eggs any kind and vegetables; and of course, the juju dhau (look it up); plus good Newari and Asian fare for dinner. The rooms are spacious and clean, beds are comfy, but don’t forget stoop if you are tall. All and all, it’s a best kept secret, but it shouldn’t be.

What a gorgeous place! The rooms are classy and delightful- fit into a 700 year old pilgrim’s resting house. The location is sensational- right in the heart of a beautiful square of temples. The hosts are considerate. And the breakfast- wow! See the pic.

We stay here every time we go to Bhaktapur. The staff is amazing, the location is very convenient to Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Dattretraya Square, and all of historic Bhaktapur. The space is cozy and unlike anyplace outside of Nepal. Ceilings are quite low, so watch your head.

We got two interconnected rooms that worked perfectly as a family suite. The rooms were so beautiful it was hard to leave. We felt like we were in a temple or museum, with plenty of beds and sitting nooks. Far away from traffic, but close enough to be able to observe it all from our window. The entire guesthouse is gorgeous, everyone was friendly, and the momos we had at the cafe were among the best momos we had in Nepal. Perfect location, a short walk from most of the squares. The only part of the rooms that could use an upgrade (or a shower stall) is the bathrooms.

Peacock hotel is a lovely place to stay while exploring the wonders of Bhaktapur. The old heritage building has a lot of charm, the interiors are thoughtfully and beautifully designed, the rooms are very neat and tidy, and the food is great (had a delicious chicken randang curry for lunch and omelette/fruit/toast/coffee for breakfast). I would definately recommend staying here if you are visiting Bhaktapur!
