老旅館(The Old Inn)

The Old Inn is een parel, een bijzondere plek! Een ontzettend mooi gerenoveerd oud huis met prachtige kamers en alle details behouden. Heerlijke warme douche, fijne bedden. In de autovrije hoofdstraat en aan de achterkant een geweldig terras waar je iets kunt drinken en waar het eten geserveerd wordt met uitzicht op de toppen van de Himalayas. Heerlijk eten en de vriendelijkheid, betrokkenheid en service van het personeel kent geen grenzen. Vijf nachten gebleven en ontzettend verwend en genoten. Bandipur zelf is de moeite waard voor een stop met mooie wandelingen in de omgeving en goede uitzichtpunten.

Sembra di essere stati catapultati in una storia indietro nel tempo… un piccolo borgo in cima ad una collina dove tutto è Newari!! Case, persone, bazar, hotel… Mai avremmo pensato di trovare un posto così inaspettatamente insolito e oserei direi delicato. Delicato e’ la parola corretta: delicata la via chiusa al traffico dove si snodano case colorate,delicati i caffè, delicati i ristoranti dove si incontrano bellissime fanciulle sorridenti ed un delicato emporio nel quale possiamo trovare veramente di tutto. L’albergo è una favola, la gentilezza che oramai imperversa nel nostro tour accompagnata da insolite ricercatezze tipiche dei più prestigiosi hotel europei. Veramente raccomando!! Ovviamente per chi è nei paraggi.

Un posto meraviglioso! Mi è piaciuto tutto, dal panorama, alle camere, al cibo, all'atmosfera serale, bellissimo! Il personale davvero squisito, molto gentile e disponibile nonché attento al cliente. Consiglio vivamente di soggiornare presso questa struttura.

Bestens ausgestattete sehr schöne Zimmer mit Balkon - sehr sauber - herrliche Terrasse mit Blick. Elektrische Wärmedecken in der kalten Jahreszeit. Sehr freundliches Personal. Ideale Lage im Zentrum. Wirklich ein sehr empfehlenswertes Hotel.

A very beautiful hotel with carefully renovated rooms and new tastefully decorated bath rooms. Visiting the place during winter months we were happy about the heated mattress in our bed, and in the cosy restaurant dinner was served in the warmth and light of an open fire. Located in the town's central walking street, the hotel offers a lively atmosphere on its front side combined with a peaceful valley- and-mountain-view on its back side.

Outstanding historic building and location. Lovely staff. Great food. Rooms are beautiful and the views breathtaking. Calm and peaceful. This place was an absolute delight. Highly recommend. Plumbing and hot water work. Enough home comforts to feel at home but simple enough to feel authentic.

We had intended to stay only one night in Bandipur but once we saw the village & the Old Inn decided to extend our stay. No, the Old Inn is not a luxury stay but it is peaceful and authentic as well as probably the best place in town. The nights were chilly when we were there but our electric blanket warmed us up. The hot water was unreliable. But the views were great and the breakfast - with yoghurt, granola, excellent coffee, fabulous fresh squeezed Nepali orange juice, eggs etc - 110%. The rooms are dark because of the shutters but this adds to the atmosphere of the place. So long as you aren’t expecting western luxury this hotel is very serviceable.

We had a 3 night stay which helped break our journey between Kathmandu and Pokhara. The village itself is beautiful, peaceful and very relaxing after the big city. As you see from the pictures, the views from either side of the village are spectacular. Staying in the hotel feels like stepping back in time (in a good way!) It has been restored beautifully, and you can really imagine what life would have been like. This isn't a 5 star luxury hotel and all the better for it. Food is excellent (best in the village), the staff are very helpful and friendly, the atmosphere is very special and you can spend hours and hours taking in the ever changing views. The entire experience was wonderful. I also think what Bandipur have done to protect their village is a lesson for many places to learn from.

It’s a romantic Old Inn beautifully renovated and retaining old features such as low beams. Breakfast and dinner were good! The terrace is lovely with great vistas. Bedrooms are lovely, mine overlooked the main square, beds and shower are great. I liked everything about it except the temperature (rooms have no glass windows, only shutters) and bathroom lighting. WiFi is a bit erratic due to regular short power cuts, worked ok on the ground floor but not in my room. Still, it‘s probably the best hotel in Bandipur which is a wonderful place to hike and see village life! I recommend!
