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.

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.

건물 양쪽에서 공사가 진행 중이어서 낮시간 동안 시끄러웠고, 밤에는 창문 방음이 거의 안돼 차소리, 개들 짖고 싸우는 소리, 사람들 떠드는 소리로 잠을 자주 깼다. 침대와 이불이 눅눅해서 첫날 잠자기 힘들었고, 온수는 아침시간만 나왔다. TV는 지역 전체가 케이블 공사여서 첫날은 불통. 둘째날 저녁에는 나왔지만 화면이 좋지 않았고 5초정도에 한번씩 잠깐 화면이 꺼졌다 켜졌다를 반복했다. TV상태가 불량했다. Wifi도 첫날 않되고 둘째날 저녁에야 가능했는데, 그것도 방에서는 안돼 로비에 나가서 사용했다.

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!
