As a home-away-from home refuge, the guesthouse has been designed by Götz Hagüller, the architect of the Patan Museum and the Garden of Dreams in Kathmandu. Balancing modern and traditional architecture, it is built in brick with wooden ceilings, timber floors in the bedrooms and with terracotta tile-floors in the rest of the house.

Detailed Reviews
We rented three rooms for a wonderful overnight family stay at Milla Guest House. From the moment we inquired about accommodations to the moment we checked out, our experience at Milla was perfect. The decor is a beautiful blend of traditional art and architecture with modern practicalities. It really feels like being part of the fabric of traditional Bhaktapur without sacrificing any comfort and convenience. In addition to the beautiful bedrooms and bathrooms we also enjoyed dinner and breakfast with a view at the rooftop cafe area. The guest house is tucked inside a quiet, nondescript and somewhat rundown little block close to Dattatreya Square but a longer walk (~15 min) to Bhaktapur Durbar Square. So you are not immersed in the action if that’s what you are expecting. But you are also not far. One of the biggest highlights for us were the staff: everyone was caring, courteous and genuine. Laxman went out of his way to make sure we could find what we wanted to see or buy in Bhaktapur and even helped us negotiate good prices. We were amazed by how everyone seemed to know him. Sanu’s homemade chocolates, plum jam and bread were simply fantastic, and we were really touched when she brought us some jam to take home. A wonderfully memorable experience overall!

We stayed at Milla guesthouse for one night. The house is beautiful and clean, and the suites have a traditional feel, but are fully modernized. The tiles and bathtub are made from local clay, which is a unique touch! The bed is big and extremely comfortable. There is a rooftop balcony with a wonderful view of Bhaktapur, and a fully stocked kitchen on the top floor. We especially enjoyed the breakfast, with homemade jam and bread served with great hospitality and a wonderful view of the city. The shower is also very cool!
The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The only thing that could have been slightly better was the WiFi reception in the room. However, overall, I would highly recommend Milla Guesthouse to anyone wanting to experience an authentic and comfortable guesthouse in Bhaktapur!

This place was recommended to me by a friend of a friend, And I'm so glad he did. Other people have already said many things and I I find it hard to say even more except for that it is warm and hospitable. Our hosts are Sanu and Laxman, extremely warm and friendly and very responsive to all requests.Sanu treated me as a long lost family member.
Although this is quite as simple, it has some extra comforts like rooftop views of the local neighborhood while enjoying breakfast, with glimpses of the mountains and the sounds of the birds and local people going through their lives. You're given a variety of things to eat for breakfast, French press coffee which is hard to come by here. The famous Bhaktapur Yogurt is divine, as is the homemade jam. The rooms are basic but cozy with good lighting, plenty of plugs, and nice views around. The bathroom is well appointed and the hot water is plentiful (Although they remind us to conserve water, which I like also). It is around the corner from the oldest square and Bhaktapur,so it's easy to just wander around in the neighborhood with its interesting temple and good eateries. A wonderful combination of your European sensibilities and a Nepali Homestay. Although a little hard to find initially it actually is just a shark walk to that square. Highly recommended!

As we entered the square Milla's guest house looked so fresh and inviting, and was the same on the inside. It was a return visit to this delightful , comfortable place built in the exquisite old Bhaktapur style. Sanu serves the breakfast up on the terrace, as much as you can eat and with excellent Nepali bean coffee. It was the last day of the annual Biske Jatra when the gods are carried out for their annual visit into the squares, much of this activity can be viewed and heard from the guesthouse itself.

Milla Guesthouse is a hospitable, stylish space located less than 10 minutes from Darbar Square and around the corner from Dattatraya Square. Across all my stays in Nepal over three weeks, this was the absolute best from a hospitality perspective – Ludmilla, Sanu and Laxman put their hearts and souls into looking after guests. There were little touches like fruit bowls or guides on where to eat in each room, but also bigger gestures like a phenomenal bottomless breakfast with homemade bread as the star, checking in regularly throughout the stay and accompanying us to the neighborhood temples.
From a facilities perspective, rooms are comfortable. The property is infused with elements of Japanese design, but is local at its core with several great pieces of art throughout.
Thank you to the team at Milla Guesthouse for our most welcoming stay of the trip!

We recently had the privilege of being almost the last guests to stay in the Guesthouse before Covid-19 disrupted everyone’s travel plans.
This was our fourth visit – but the first in such uncertain circumstances. So one of the most important observations to make is about absence: of worry, of anxiety, of any problem that, for a traveller far from home, would become magnified. We could set out and return to the Guesthouse every day without any cares concerning our practical needs – everything just works – assured that if we did need help, it would be forthcoming.
We spent days revisiting favourite places, inspecting post-earthquake developments, soaking up the artistic and architectural beauty of Bhaktapur.
And always there is the special light in Millas Guesthouse, the stairways, the windows, the art . . . an utterly charming and comfortable place to stay.

Beautiful hidden treasure in the heart of the historic city of Bhaktapur, four lovely rooms, comfortable and elegant with exquisite design that reflect the Malla Newar artisans, and the most delicious breakfast provided by Sanu with local specialities. Enjoy the homemade jams and delicious local royal yoghurt. Conveniently close to the palaces temples and heritage centre of Bhaktapur, Kathmandu Valley's ancient kingdom, to experience the living culture, festivals and daily life of its people.

Delighted to have been back. The house was impeccably prepared. After a year of closing, fresh & inviting. Most friendly attention given. Delightful morning walk after sunrise & magic breakfast on the roof terrace of Milla‘s Guesthouse. Fresh farm eggs & Bhaktapur yogurt, coffee & tea made us a very happy morning after a happy night. Thank you all. Coming back soon, Christopher & Enkhe

Milla’s Guesthouse is a beautifully appointed and peaceful sanctuary in the World Heritage listed site of Bhaktapur. Centrally located but in a quiet corner of the old city, the rooms are spacious yet also cosy and comfortable, offering an authentic experience of Newari architecture. Delicious, generously portioned breakfast made and served by attentive staff. Such a pleasure to stay here. Great value. Highly recommended. Thank you for looking after us so well, Sanu.

Milla Guesthouse is slightly off the beaten track. A traditional Newari house very tastefully renovated with ensuite double rooms and interesting bathrooms. Large rooms with comfortable king-size beds. Adequate workspace for authors, artists and poets! Well worth spending several days as there is so much to see - temples crafts shops and an extraordinary ambiance.
The staff is exceptionally friendly and willing to help you enjoy your visit. Excellent German-style breakfast with homemade bread and jams, local fresh fruits and real coffee!
