Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Very nice hotel, properly and professionally managed. Our group had a perfect stay here. The room was spotless, the breakfast was delicious, and the location was very convenient. There were also some really nice restaurants nearby, which was very handy for us. Overall, we were very happy with our stay.
We’ve had a fantastic stay. Our room was clean and had all the amenities we needed. The AC worked great, and the hot shower was perfect. The included breakfast was delicious and had plenty of healthy options. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.
Great service, extra nice staff! Didn’t let us carry our own bag. Great and fast laundry service. Welcomed us with drinks and fruits + explanations about hanoi and our surroundings.
Beautiful place that feels like a home away from home, I stayed here for 2 weeks and couldn’t be happier with my choice of accommodation. All the staff are amazing and the courtyard is an oasis in Kathmandu. Great food, cosy & clean rooms and the cherry on top is a stunning rooftop perfect to watch the sunrise and sunset behind the surrounding mountains. Top location with easy access to all the highlights of Thamel. Highly recommend staying here!
Very friendly staff, they helped us with taxis at local prices repeatedly and where generally very courteous. The room was clean and the shower hot.
The room looked a bit tired and as the window was facing another wall there was barely sunlight.
Very welcoming, friendly and clean hotel. One of best locations within Thamel. We would definitely book this place again when visiting Kathmandu again.
המלון במיקום מעולה ומרכזי, החדרים מרווחים ונקיים והצוות מאד שרותי במיוחד Naran הוא עובד מספר 1 איש מקסים שנותן את הנשמה במקום. ברור שאחזור לכאן שוב ❤️
חבל שאין חדר עם 4 מיטות
Helt ok Buffe
Central Thamel so amongst all the restaurants/shops. Wooden room decor. Hot shower - after leaving to run for 5 minutes. All the staff were friendly and welcoming.
Basic breakfast for western tastes. No formal indoor restaurant for the colder months. Being woken up for breakfast at 9 when it didn't finish until 10.
Comfortable hotel, friendly and helpful staff.
Buena ubicación y personal amable
Sehr freudliches Personal, schönes Zimmer und zentrale Lage
Frühstück könnte z.B Yoghurt beinhalten, Warmwasser am Morgen nicht
El personal era amable y el desayuno estaba bien y variado. La ubicación era muy buena.
Había cucarachas pequeñas en las habitaciones. Tienen una plaga que deben gestionar. Las instalaciones necesitan mantenimiento.
Ubicación inmejorable, personal muy amable y la habitación deluxe muy grande
Very friendly and kind receptionist ❤️
They upgraded me to the suite.
I had to move the fridge for the cable to reach the plug socket (this may be normal in Nepal?)
Czyste pokoje, dość cicho jak na Thamel. Bardzo przyjazny personel.
Wszystko było ok.
The staff are so so kind. Wanting to help with everything and always with a smile. The asked me if i wanted a top room or one on the lower floor. Because i’m a smoker i asked for one with or close to a balcony, so i got a room on the top floor with a huge (shared) terrace. Breakfast was great.
Loved the garden area, breakfast was great , the location is perfect . It takes about 20 min to walk to the in Durbar square . Staff is very friendly . Perfect hotel for trekkers and visitors who want to explore the city
Muy bien el alojamiento. Muy bien el personal. El lugar para desayunar es un patio con plantas muy agradable.
El tv no andaba ,otro no pedimos cambio de habitación
Staff very kind and helpful
Everything was good. Very convenient location. You can find everything else nearby at walking distance in Thamel. The reception staff was very helpful with information. We had our bus at 7 am so they packed our breakfast. That was so helpful. Even though the breakfast foods could have been a bit better maybe, but it was okay.
The staff were amazing and helpful and the place was tidy and pretty.
Location is in Thamel so easy to get to restaurants and shops. Staff is very good. They looked out for me when I needed help to see doctors and to get around with a broken leg. Would highly recommend. Is a lot of space to sit and read. Very big restaurant area and also a roof top space to work as well.
The staff was polite and very nice- the hotel is at the prime location, and still it is quiet.the room is quite big and has strong AC, yet somehow it doesn’t affect the sitting room temperature much. Very good hot shower.
The photos don’t match the room- there is no microwave, and the breakfast is barely there. The rooms had cockroaches and the water stopped in bathroom faucet on the last day and it was spraying dirt. The WiFi only works in the sitting area and is too slow inside.
staff in hotel specially subi helped me for information and transportation
there is no elevator
It's really a good place specially staff & reception people . the mostly helpful & gentle
For the money paid breakfast was excellent
Everything was perfect
The stuff offered to pack my breakfast and take it away. The stuff also ordered taxi for me, which was very nice.
The toilet was blocked and I had to ask the stuff twice to unblock it.
the location was very convenient. the staff was really helpful.
while everything else was ok, the thing that ruined the experience was, the rooms on the right hand side hand the vents from the washrooms connected to the corridor creating really nasty smell
Friendly and helpfull staff, comfy room and clean and also tasty breakfast
Nothing we are gratefull for everything
The Breakfast was great and the team was serving well. Loved it.
They will need to improve on the mattress n pillows. Being a 3 star that will be a added advantage.
The hotel is located in the center of Thamel so it is very convenient. Staff helped us to get a taxi to the airport, beds are comfortable, breakfast is very good

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.
All you need for a stay in Thamel.
Staff extraordinary caring
Excellent and the staffs are very helpful
Over all excellent
Great location with excellent service and very friendly staff. it was good value for money and an overall pleasant stay.
The only thing was the family room faced the roadside, making it noisy at night.
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
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.
just there was cockroach in one of rooms and i think need to spraying.
The staffs are so friendly and room so clean. Have a good stay in Buddha.
The staffs are helpful and friend. The rooms are clean. Have a great stay in Hotel Buddha and I would like to recommend it to the friends
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.
