Kathmandu bed & breakfasts

Pros: great location, pleasant staff

Cons: pretty noisy- the layout - an open several story area, made for a noise tunnel

Pros: Excellent location for visiting the Stupa.

Cons: Extremely noisy hotel with slamming doors and a very sour, unhelpful receptionist.

Pros: Great stay at Boudha! Good food friendly stuffs. Thanks a lot!

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff

Cons: Towel rack too close to the toilet seat. Hope it's only my room like that.

Pros: Location Friendly staff Flexibly-of breakfast timing to suit our departure which was nice!

Cons: The AC didn’t work and had to keep the table fan on all the time to cool down the room.

Pros: The location of this guest house is great! One can truly 'be' in the Bhouda space and one does not have to fight traffic to get there! It was wonderful to be able to visit the art schools in the circle and being able to do shopping literally on one's doorstep, again without having to fight the traffic. The monastery is also very open and available and being able to listen to the chanting of the monks, receiving blessings and in general observe and feel the goings on around the temple is truly lovely. The staff is helpful and friendly and very accommodating.

Cons: It is a very echoing building and definitely not quiet. People don't seem to take note of silence and I was rudely woken up my tourists at 4 in the morning talking at the top of their voices right outside my door. The same goes for the cleaning staff who starts to work quite early. It will be great if the staff could be alerted to the noise level, as one can hear the voices from reception clearly. There is also a copper factory so be prepared for a lot of banging whilst people get on with business. Definitely not a place for deep sleep or silence, but the closeness of the temple makes up for everything else.

Pros: Excellent location right on the Boudha Stupa Circle with a rooftop restaurant/cafe overlooking the Stupa. The room was large and comfortable and staff helpful and also packed us a breakfast box as we had an early morning flight before breakfast commenced. The location is great with so many awesome little Tibetan restaurants around if you are keen to venture beyond the Stupa and overpriced tourist restaurants.

Cons: This is not an issue with the property at all, just some helpful advice... our taxi driver has trouble locating the guesthouse as you cannot drive to it. You need to walk from one of the Stupa entry gates.

Pros: Everything else excellent. Solar power water heater renewable energy helps to improve air quality in kathmandu valley.

Cons: Hotwater did not come despite left tap hot water open. Later realised need to drain initial cold water from both left taps of basin and shower to allow hotwater out.

Pros: The solar heater is renewable energy - fantastic. Prevent further air pollution to the kathmandu valley.

Cons: To get hot shower water, I was told to drain initial cold water at left tap. Should put a bucket to collect the initial cold water to flush toilet
