    The room was great. Comfy bed and amazing shower. However, when we arrived by taxi, we were followed by a man on a motorbike who demanded we paid 1,800 each for the entrance fee to Bhakatpur. This was a surprise to us and not a very good first impression. It would have been nice to be told about this entrance fee before we arrived so we weren’t greeted by an angry man and forced to pay a lot of money that we weren’t expecting. Not the hotel’s fault but maybe they could inform guests about this extra payment before they arrive. Also, the free breakfast was really small and we ended up going out and buying breakfast every day after eating it. Other than that, the hotel was really good.

    The room does not look like the photo but it is clean, compact and not 19 meters in size. Excellent location, pleasant hospitality Please note that the price does not include additional taxes of $ 15 which were not stated in advance This means that the price for taxes is more than double the price of the room

    Honestly, the only thing I didn't enjoy was breakfast. It is very basic and not very tasty in my opinion. They should consider maybe adding a few more options as it felt very limited.

    The room matches the pictures and description. It's a bit cold at night but at least the hot water in the shower works great. Wifi was generally good. Within walking distance to Durbar square and very easy to find. The place gets a bit noisy sometimes but if you wear earplugs it should be fine. The young guy working at the reception speaks good English and is very friendly and helpful and he also plays the guitar! Good value for money.

    The staff was super friendly and helped us with everything we needed. The roof terrace was really nice and offered good views over the city and some snowy Mountain tops.

    My stay at the Hotel Durbar Side has been absolutely precious. Most of all, i appreciated the people working there, they went above and beyond to make my stay as enjoyable as possible, and they always made feel very welcomed. The room was perfect for a five night stay and the breakfast was always delicious. The hotel is just 2 min walk from Durbar Square and in a very beautiful area too, nonetheless it is pretty quiet. Right out of the hotel there are little shops, local places to eat at a reasonable price and everything else is at a short walking distance. I have really appreciated my stay and I would come back, recommended!

    The toilets in the rooms are extremely small.

    Location is great if you like the quiet less crowded sides like bhaktapur. I wish I would’ve found his place earlier and stayed there for the length of my trip which was 15 days. I came there for a second time as the bed is very comfortable and the second room had a kettle and AC. The owner was very kind and caring, he helped me with a friends pick up and showed him around the city while I went to thangka painting class. He also picked me up and dropped me off at the airport, I felt very safe and supported during my stay.
