This spot is a gem! There is a great breakfast (different every day), complimentary fruits and welcome drinks, and beautiful historic rooms that have all the comforts you could wish for. The staff were incredibly helpful and the spot is within walking distance of Patan Durbar Square and a great shopping road.

Great location, around 100 metres walk to Patan Durbar Square. Very atmospheric building, lovingly restored. Sure, it has low ceilings in the old part but you know that when you book it. Really helpful, friendly staff and mighty fine breakfast. Was tricky to find initially, but that was our fault.

Wonderful, attentive staff, and great location in a fascinating part of the city. Only challenge for me is that I’m 6 feet tall and could not stand up fully in the room due to low ceiling. I did not mind and still enjoyed my stay

Newa Chen is absolutely delightful

First time in Kathmandu, picked this for it's fabulous location in a vibrant artsy neighborhood near Patan Darbur Square as a friend was staying nearby. I am so very happy I picked this place. Wonderful historic place with a wing added that is more modern but in keeping with the original architecture, the room I booked was in the new section so the ceilings are high and the windows face over the courtyard to the original part of the hotel. The courtyard is delightful, providing a calm sanctuary from the bustling neighborhood around and we met the owner there one evening as he lit his offering - the original family live in a part of the old house. The bed was fantastically comfortable the bathroom super clean and fresh, the staff happily lugged my suitcase up and down from my room. I think it has something like ~ 14 of the 'Superior' rooms in the new section, so it's not a big place which means it is intimate and the desk and kitchen staff know who you are the minute you arrive - totally charming, Newa Chen will now be my go to preferred guest house in Kathmandu any time I'm here.. (and ..it's really close to the airport, so not too much sitting in crazy traffic to get here).

Prachtige historische (UNESCO-werelderfgoed) locatie op een paar minuten lopen van Patan Durbar Square. Comfortabele kamers met goede verlichting en sanitair. Historische lage plafonds worden na een paar dagen toch wel wat ongemakkelijk. Zeer behulpzaam en flexibel personeel en fantastisch ontbijt (vers fruit!).

素晴らしいミニホテルです。カトマンズ近辺で宿泊する機会があり、尚且つ空室があるのならば必ず利用するべきです。 　リニューアルされておりますが、建物の歴史の古さゆえに天井が低いので、長身の方は特に注意が必要です。細い通りを走るバイクの騒音などが響くので枕元には耳栓がありました。地元行政による車両進入制限措置が待たれます。
