The staff at Hotel Buddah were fantastic, starting from breakfast and assisting with anything else (taxi to airport etc) as needed. It is quite a noisy area, which you can hear through the windows at night. Felt slightly unsafe walking around once dark but lovely and popular tourist spot during the day.

Staff are the best, very very helpful. No hot water is difficult for us Westerners. I found out that the Airport shuttle is no longer available since Covid.

The staff was extremely helpful and kind. The manager was particularly attentive. I had emailed ahead of time asking about the airport shuttle and received a quick response mentioning that they were no longer operating that. I'll also note that they were kind enough to securely store some small luggage for us for ~1 week while we were trekking.

Staff didn’t have the room key at the counter, I had to wait outside the room until another staff brought key to open the door. There was no hot water, only one power plug which would not for to international chargers. Staff at the counter didn’t know if I had already paid during my booking and provided me a bill to pay

From the moment I entered the front door I knew I was welcome. I had traveled all night to get to Kathmandu and needed coffee and 5 minutes to gather myself. The kind gentleman bought me coffee and said when I was ready that so was my room. I checked in and the rest of the stay was as great as my check in. Thank you Hotel Buddha.

My partner and I stayed her in January 2020 for a bit over a week. Overall the property wasnt bad but the rooms are tired. I noticed the windows arent sealed so noise and the weather can easily seep through. This wasnt great as there is construction work on both sides of the hotel (but I can hardly blame them for that). The breakfast was exceptional and the staff were brilliant, so I woupd probably go back.

I had a great stay and the staff are very helpful and courteous. The hotel is situated at the upper end of Thamel which is more quiet and has less traffic than the rest of the area. The hotel is within walking distance of good restaurants, bars, pubs and atm's. The hotel offers a good breakfast and luggage storage service. I had a great stay!

Was moved to another hotel the first night as someone has injured themselves and couldn’t move and there were no extra rooms. I can understand someone being in that situation but when I had paid and confirmed my room it came as a bit of a surprise that it could be moved like that with no notice

Fantastic hotel
I stayed at Hotel Buddha for 2 weeks whilst visiting my wife in Nepal who was on a medical placement. I was collected from the airport as arranged and arrived late evening. From the start I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the room and the hotel overall. All the staff from reception staff to waiters and security staff have been so welcoming and friendly. The rooms were cleaned daily with fresh towels and linen provided as well as 2 litres of water meaning I never had to buy water the whole time I was in the city. My stay included breakfast of which there was ample choice each morning, cooked breakfast as well as toast, fresh fruit, cereal, yogurt as well as tea/coffee and juice. Also a chef who cooked omelettes to order which were delicious. Obviously despite switching some foods, after a few days it does become somewhat repetitive. Food on the lunch/dinner menu was fantastic, and reasonably priced. I had food delivered to my room twice with no extra charge. The room was very comfortable, with tea/coffee making facilities, TV, air conditioning doubling as a heater which was used! The bathroom was also spacious with a decent shower and always had hot water. The sockets in my room were the same as the UK so no need for an adaptor. The hotel were also very accommodating allowing my wife to stay with me for a small charge but after a few nights this was wavered. Hotel Buddha also has a stunning garden where all meals are served.

The Jotel Boddha was a home away from home for us, with excellent service and a great location. They also held our luggage while we went exploring for several days. Their only drawback is the room size, very small.

Hotel is about 20 -30 mins from the airport.
The hotel was fine overall and worth the price. However the roads in front of the hotel were very bad and it got worse during the days it rained. Its okay for a short stay for 2-3 days.

A Good Place to Explore From!
The excellent staff, clean & comfortable room, good variety of meal choices at the restaurant--and more, made our week stay very good! The location is very good and centralized to the city. The only problem at the time was the muddy roadwork out front and having to deal with walking around & through it.

Great room, friendly staff and nice breakfast. Roadworks happening outside while we were there but that was only a minor inconvenience. Try the Black Olives Cafe across the road for lunch / dinner.

Trip that turned out to be a mesmerizing experienc
Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Absolutely cozy and affordable place for all sorts of travelers. Very hygienic, super friendly staff and located in middle of 'touristy area of Kathmandu-thamel'. Tour manager Mr. Pramod helped us with out trip across Nepal from Kathmandu-Chitwan-lumbini-pokhara at very affordable rate(recommended). Mr. Anil drove us through Nepal and made out trip very comfortable. All is all an amazing experience. Definitely coming back!
