    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.

    Not much worth mentioning

    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.

    Although the bathroom is set up as a wet room, it might help to have a shower curtain so the whole room doesn't get wet, but honestly its a minor point

    Helpful staff, great room facilities and comfortable bed, good and plentiful breakfast. Good location for places to eat and able to walk to many of the key places. Also very handy for our tour guide to Annapurna (Global Adventure Trekking)

    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 !
