    inconsistent power
    awkward layout

    Lights frequently went out!!! The initial room felt prison-like!!! Hot water took an eternity to heat up!!! Noise from the lobby and stairs may be bothersome for some guests!!!

    Rooms with a king size bed had a comfortable atmosphere. The personnel was attentive and extremely helpful, doing their best to assist. The excellent service and the attention to detail! This newly decorated and charming small hotel had a central setting in centre of Thamel area. And it was also so close to a main tourist hub of Kathmandu, the tourist spots and sightseeing:)))

    The breakfast is large and hearty, with more Nepali flavour and live omelette, for example.

    Loved the cozy vibe, but the loud bars nearby were a bit much.

    The Hotel is excellent in limited budget. The staffs were very nice. They provided us everything we needed. The room was air conditioned and comfortable enough. We enjoyed satellite channels on tv. The breakfast was included in room price and it was really decent breakfast. We had omelet, bread with Jam and Butter, tea or coffee. Even sometimes we ordered Indian food for breakfast. The hotel also provides laundry service in very cheap cost. I would specially mention the service of the staffs. They cleaned the room whenever we requested them. The whole hotel has free Wifi internet facilities and the speed is very good. The hotel is also located in a very nice place. Shopping malls, restaurants, movie theaters and night clubs are very close to the hotel. Even the hotel management provides services like trekking, mountain climbing, city tour and any other thing you would like to do in cheap cost. I would specially like to thank Mr. Bhanu Dhakal for arranging our marriage according to Hindu religion and Nepali social customs. If you want to get married according to Nepal culture, then contact to Mr. Bhanu Dhakal. Once again, thanks to Mr. Bhanu Dhakal and his team for making our stay in Nepal really memorable.

    The hotel should have lunch and dinner facilities.

    really good support
    lush garden

    The really good support from the manager Pramod made our sightseeing plans seamless, and enjoying breakfast in the lush garden was a good treat each morning.

    Great stay at Hotel Buddha Land. The staff is very friendly and always helpful. They have offered us free airport drop off, on top of the included pick-up. Every drink we have ordered be it coffee, tea, coke, they have insisted to be free. And they even let us have an incredibly late check out with no extra charge, as our plane was leaving at 11:35 pm. Location is perfect, right in Thamel, but not directly in the noisy streets. This was our second stay at Hotel Buddha Land, and will not be our last.

    tranquil garden
    freshly cooked breakfast

    great, great, great

    The breakfast in the tranquil garden was a good way to start my day, with freshly cooked eggs and an ample spread of fruits. Plus, the staff was attentive, always.

    strongly recommend 😊❤️

    Good hotel overall that suited our purpose of the visit perfectly. It is a no-frills, unpretentious yet a quite nice and friendly hotel for travellers on a budget. The staff was extremely helpful and always trying to accommodate all our needs or requests. Beds were very comfortable and despite some stray dogs barking outside at night time (a common thing in Kathmandu by the way) we got a decent sleep. The management also runs a travel agency specialized in trekking trips, climbing expeditions, sightseeing, etc. that will save you the hassle of organizing domestic flights, government permits, insurance and other issues at a competitive prize and employing local people. We were very satisfied with our experience.

    Breakfast was a bit basic in my opinion. It was missing something like fresh fruit (easy and cheap to find in Kathmandu) or cereals. We got fried peppers, onions and tomatoes with toasts and tea but not everybody has such a strong stomach in the morning..! Also, we had overbooking problems a couple of nights (alternate days, not in a row) and although we were provided accommodation somewhere else at no extra cost, I thought it was not right. We had our rooms booked and confirmed months in advance and would have preferred to stay at Buddha Land because it is much quieter at night than the other hotels we had to move to.

    Nice and quiet location, although in the center of mad Kathmandu. Basic but good room and bathroom. Hot water. Good breakfast

    Do not expect anything special.
