I had quite a long stay (3 weeks). The hotel is not that remarkable in itself as it is a little older than some but what it lacks in modern architecture it makes up for in the friendliness, helpfulness and genuine care shown by the staff. I felt I was in good hands the whole time and they went out of their way to make my stay pleasant and safe. I was not well when I arrived and they found me a local doctor; they guided me to places I would not ordinarily have visited and I enjoyed once in a lifetime experiences that were 'priceless'. I have no hesitation in recommending a stay at the Buddha they made me feel very special...and ask about their other 'secret' businesses, worth the adventure.

Not much worth mentioning

Terrifically friendly and helpful staff. Located on the edge of Thamel and an easy stroll to restaurants, bars and shops. Rooms are spacious and spotless. There's a rooftop terrace. Garden restaurant and bar. It's our second stay. Consistent over the past 2 years as well.

I would like to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to Hotel Buddha in Kathmandu for providing an exceptional experience for my parents. From the moment they arrived, the warmth and hospitality they received exceeded all expectations. The property itself was immaculate – spacious, comfortable, and serene – creating an environment that felt like a true home away from home. What truly stood out, however, was the kindness and genuine care shown by the owner and the staff. They treated my parents like cherished family members, going above and beyond to ensure their comfort. Not only did they offer thoughtful gestures, such as generous discounts on both food and accommodation, but they also made my parents feel incredibly special throughout their entire stay. Their attentive and respectful service left an indelible mark on my parents’ hearts. My parents, who have traveled widely, were so impressed with the quality of the rooms, the facilities, and the overall hospitality that they personally requested me to rate the hotel a 10-star experience. They spoke of the kindness, professionalism, and respect they received from the entire team, and how the hotel’s family-like atmosphere made them feel incredibly welcome and cared for. It was clear that the staff genuinely values their guests, and this personal touch made all the difference. On behalf of my entire family, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the owner and every single staff member at Hotel Buddha. You made my parents' stay a truly memorable one, and for that, we are immensely grateful. The respect and care shown to them went beyond just hospitality; it created an emotional connection that we will always cherish. We are looking forward to returning, as this will undoubtedly be our home in Kathmandu whenever we visit. Thank you for everything, and for making my parents’ experience so wonderful. We will forever remember your kindness and hospitality.

great location with number one staff in the heart of thamel with buffet breakfast. i've been there two time with my group in one year. i think hotel buddha worth it to value money and i recommend it.

Comfortable, clean rooms made our stay enjoyable. A good breakfast with a good choice of hot and cold food make a good start to the day. We used Hotel Buddha as a base for exploring Kathmandu and will do so again. The manager and staff have always been helpful and friendly when we have stayed here. Thank you 😊.

Nothing

The hotel was centrally located and easy to get to. The staffs were cooperative and very friendly. The hotel was very clean with comfortable beds and hot water in the shower. The WiFi was great as well. I loved the nice open garden where they had a breakfast buffet with live omelette station included with the price. I would definitely stay here again. Overall it was a great value for money and the service beyond my expectation.

Everything was great and beyond my expectation. Nothing really.

Great hospitality, nice staff.

The hotel location is very good, just in the centre, 10 minutes to Garden of Dreams and little more walk to the Royal Palace,which is worth it to go! Its easy to get to Rani Pokhari and Durbar square too. Breakfast is very nice and the meals from the menu are tasty. The rooms are clean and spacious. The hotel manager took care well about us and he arranged a very good driver for one day sightseeing tour so we managed to visit many places in one day. He also organised a very very great and experienced driver for taking us around Nepal in few days. The best idea ever. We would never reach any place driving on our own. Seriously! Thank you !

Location just along from an old favourite hotel of mine. Right in the centre of Thamel. Great buffet breakfast in the tranquil garden at the back. Great breakfast of bacon, sausage and loads of others (can be a little cold if you have breakfast later '9am' like me. Freshly cooked, to order, eggs -fried, omelette, scrambled. Fresh orange juice, ample coffee, fresh fruit salad & toast. You literally step into the hayhem and chaos of Thamel a few seconds from the reception. Room was great - 2 large bottles of water every day, bed made up and free toiletries. Very attentive staff from reception, porters, waiting staff, room service, etc..

Nothing could improve my stay. In fact I had booked another hotel in Kathmandu (for 7 nights) when I returned from my trek. Thanks to booking.com I was able to cancel it free of charge & booked Hotel Buddah again. One huge downside, if you are a light sleeper (unlike me), is the sound of nearby bars playing loud music until 5am in the morning, followed by the 'patrons' leaving soon after.
