Traditional Homes - Swotha

This hotel is a real gem in Patan! Location just a few minutes walk from Durbar Sq, quiet with no particular traffic passing because it’s a blind alley. Very service minded staff! At the small cafe they have a excellent food, from breakfast to dinner. Here I can eat everything even their salad! The building is an old Newari home, so cosy, stylish and authentic. In your room you get a couple of water bottles a day, candles and there are both a fan and an electric little heater if you need. So this was my ”home away from home” for the last two weeks and I’m so pleased! Thank you Samun and all staff members! You’re the best!

Every bit of my stay in this small, charming hotel exceeded expectations. First, it's been restored beautifully, the rooms are spotless, quaint and stylish. The food delicious! The staff friendly and accomodating and the rates tital value for moeny. I would stay here again in a heratbeat and felt my brief 2 day stay weren't enough. I'd strongly recommend it

The top floor is pretty amazing. The terrace is just an empty rooftop, but the room is beautiful. There’s an entrance kinda room to take your shoes off, so it feels like an apartment. Authentic design, heavy wooden furniture, that places nicely in a spacious room. Cutest little balcony (watch your head) and a great shower room (although the sink is kinda odd). Breakfast is included and very decent, which makes their deal offer a steal. Romantic hideaway right in the middle of Patan. Times better, than the pictures provided.

It feels so special to stay in the Nepali house. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. Definitely will be back again.

This hotel is perfectly located near the Patan Square on a no traffic street. This guest house is an authentic Nepalese home that has been tastefully converted with amenities. The staff is great and most helpful. A delicious Breakfast that is made to order is included in the daily rate. The cook is masterful so I opted to eat dinner several times. Really enjoyed my stay.

I spent 10 days here in February 2024 and now I am back in 2025. A very tastefully restored old building with great food and very nice, helpful and friendly staff. I love the food and home-made bread and breakfast is available the whole day. Whether staying overnight or for a meal, I will keep coming back. I love the place! An oasis amidst a buzzing area with Patan Durbar Square just 2 minutes walking distance away.

I love this place and have stayed here countless times. It is a beautifully restored, old house, right in the centre of Patan, very near Durbar Square, but in a sideline, so it does not feel touristy. The rooms are full of character, with beautiful wooden details. The decor and bedding is all quite minimalistic, which I like, but might not be for everyone. Everything is spotless and comfort is taken care of, e.g. electric blankets for winter. I would also like to mention the breakfast, which is delicious and healthy, and the coffee is excellent!

It has been more than a decade since I first stayed at Traditional Homes. I walked in off the street after a booking at another hotel was unavailable and the manager was so friendly showing me to a beautiful room on the second floor. And then as we got talking he found out that I was the photographer who did publicity shots for them a decade ago. He then offered an upgrade with the suite on the top floor with a small terrace looking out over the city. It was as clean and as elegant as it was 10 years ago. Absolutely love this place and give the place, their staff, location and food all 5 stars. |Two minutes from the amazing museum and the square. Thank you. Definitely we will come again.
