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.

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

This hotel does a great job and making sure you are happy being here. From breakfast to getting the tv cable channels that are available in English. Nothing is too much trouble. I’ll be back while I’m in Nepal.

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!
