Golden Gate Guest House

A peaceful courtyard and attentive staff are the drawcards at this brick-built guesthouse between Durbar Sq and Taumadhi Tole (the rooftop offers views over both squares). Rooms won’t win any design awards, but they’re clean and some have balconies. Top-floor deluxe rooms are bright and spacious. Look for the 400-year-old carved window separating the restaurant from the kitchen. Tax included.
