Hotels near Kathmandu Durbar Square, Kathmandu

how to say? As far as the attitude of the service staff, you are embarrassed not to give full marks 💯! However, it is still rational to say that this three-star hotel has many good places, but due to the overall development of Nepal, there are also many not so good places. (For the waiter's innocent smile, I will give you a detailed code) 1. The location of the hotel is very good, two minutes walk to Duba Square, the palace is close at hand and it feels good! 2. The service attitude did not say that although the accent is difficult, but the attitude of others is really good, let you make an alarm clock to prompt yourself to tip! 3. Breakfast is too good to say! (pictured) The front desk helps rent a car and wash clothes, all in place! 4. The hotel itself is very retro, or a very ancient building. (pictured) Downside down... 5. It's a bit noisy, but the whole city is full of motorcycles, the roads are crowded, the hotel can be said to be in the residential area (the palace is also there), so the car is dripping at night, and the car wakes up in the morning. 6. When I came, the rain was raining for a while every day. I asked the front desk to help wash the clothes in the morning. I didn't dry it at night. I was not sure if it was because of the delay or the weather. 7. Hot water is available at night, and the water temperature in the morning is not too high. It is okay; there will be a power outage for a period of two consecutive days. It should also be regional in the city, not his home. Then there will be generators. 8. No shampoo, toothpaste toothbrush, I have my own. Stayed in two hotels like this, maybe their domestic industry standards? Continue to try another home tomorrow. I come out to play by myself, freer, maybe it feels different from many people traveling, just refer to it!

Local hotel in central Kathmandu Not far from Thalem and Durbar square Good hotel if you are travelling on a budget while enjoying a nice Nepali deco with a patio-stupa in the center of the property. Room was pretty old but reasonable for the price!

im so lucky to find this brand new hotel nearby Thamel. Not in tourist area but just nearby, and convenient to get all what you want. The hotel got a coffee shop at the lobby, and one rooftop restaurant/bistro which can have a panorama view of the Kathmandu city. Basic facilities such as disposer toothbrush provided, tea, coffee, towel provided. No gym and pool, but is okay for me cos i enjoy the view on rooftop restaurant most of the time.

The hotel is very close to the square and can be reached on foot. The Monkey Temple can also be reached on foot. The hotel rarely receives Chinese people and mainly serves European and American tourists. If you want to experience the local culture, you can stay here.

I didn't realise the hotel location is so fantastic. Near Asan Bazaar, Kathmandu Durbar Square and in the heart of Thamel. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The room reasonably clean. If I ever return to Kathmandu, I will stay in Hotel de Universal again. Thank you so much for the great service.

Kamal and team was exceptional service. Breakfast and meals was great. Bed linen was very clean. But fall short in few area which only management can address. This is low budget property with excellent team trying to provide 5 star service and experience.

I think the room is pretty good. This is a special room and it’s worth the price.

The location is in the downtown area. After entering the gate, you have to walk a long way inside to get there. It is still quite quiet. The room is not very big. The facilities are also average. The shower water is not bad. The service score is not too high, mainly because we booked so far in advance. As a result, when we arrived, they said they couldn't find our order. It took a long time. Although they looked at my order, they still said they would contact me the next day because they were not sure I paid. The other service staff were all good and greeted politely. We booked a long time in advance. We found that the price dropped as we got closer. The breakfast was good.

Pros Great location for exploring Themal and provided you are not too high up, you shouldn't hear any road noise as it's set back. I was on the 4th floor and could hear the incessant beeping motorbikes but had moved from the first floor where i heard none (but was directly above the kitchen so could hear banging and chairs scraping from around 6am). 2nd floor is probably a good choice Staff were all excellent Room cleaned daily with 2 large bottles of water provided each day Breakfast was ok - decent variety of fruit, local and western with custom eggs. Coffee was instant though. Air con has heat facility No deposit required on check-in Toiletries provided Cons Some noise depending on your room location - dont stay in 107 or room directly above the kitchen/restaurant No safe for passport, cash etc in room Breakfast area isn't particularly clean i.e. dirty table cloths/mats Poor standard of fixtures/fittings e.g. gaps in windows and doors, curtains dont quite close right, dirty shower curtain, the rooms have seen better days but for the price its still good value. No coffee or milk in room (or 3-in one) No phone charging point near the bed Bathroom mat was old and dirty, no floor towel Tips: take extra passport photo if you intend to get a sim card at the airport, unlimited data one with nepal telecom cost me $10 - signal was mostly ok. Get your currency before you arrive or take enough to convert there, the atm machines are expensive Taxi from airport to Themal should be around 350 rupees working on 50 rupees per km plys 30 rupees start charge. You will be hounded relentlessly by people from the second you leave the plane for tour services etc. It may seem impolite but dont make eye contact, say no thank you and keep walking, otherwise you will spend your entire trip speaking to them. Right now its cold at night, pack accordingly. Be prepared to pay for everything, every temple, every place of historical interest - foreigners are charged around 1000-2000 rupees each time. E.g. all the Durbar squares, main stupas and temples. Don't assume that because Nepal is a developing country it is cheap. It isn't. In fact i found it comparable to some developed countries and not cheaper than say Thailand. A meal would cost me around 1000 rupees. In a smaller more local place you may pay 500. Don't take your new trainers, it's a very dirty, dusty city but exactly what you would expect if you've ever seen it on TV - it's all part of the experience. For exploring all of the main parts of Kathmandu, id say 5 days is a good amount of time. I recommend the everest helicopter tour but on that note i will say that tours are very expensive here, more expensive than even Hong Kong, Thailand, etc!! I ended up walking to the main temples, Chandragiri, Bakhtapur for the more local experience.

The hotel staff are really exceptional. They help with anything, ask you about your day, offer tours and are just all around helpful and provide excellent service. The breakfast is great. Mostly Western options, but I got the Heritage breakfast, fresh juice and coffee for 3 days in a row. The breakfast staff are very helpful and the breakfast eating area has a lovely view of the city. This is within the Thamel neighborhood and restaurants and shops are right nearby. The hotel also picked me up and took me to the airport which was very helpful and reassuring when I arrived. I had a one bedroom, but they also have hostel shared rooms on site.
