Boudha Stupa View Guest House

The price they’re asking is fair. If you’re looking for something nicer, you might want to pay more and stay somewhere else. 😊

Very close to Boudha stupa and we enjoyed breakfast.

早上很早樓下就有僧人在唱頌，很不錯

沒見過這麼不好的

The rooftop cafe is absurd. After I've stayed there for a week +, I returned with a guest for dinner & drinks. Wayyyyyyy overpriced, and the older server (?) literally threw the tray on the table b/c we chose .... wait for it .... the ROOFTOP view! Apparently he didn't like walking up to bring our food, and let us *know*. 2500 NPR - not one thank you or smile & order thrown at us. Literally tossed the plate. 3 tables of guests - you think they'd be more appreciative. Then again, chai is 250NPR. ---- I won't be back. 4 Jan 25: Right near the stupa with an amazing rooftop view. The staff were really kind and helpful, especially Laxmi & Bishal. My room was directly under the rooftop restaurant. There was noise from morning til evening with chairs moving, people eating/drinking & setup. Not exactly relaxing. The rooftop restaurant is outrageously priced. While I understand there’s a view, 250 NPR for a very very bad chai is ridiculous. It was warm milk, made me sick, and would cost 50 most anywhere else. Veg noodle soup…650! Really?!? Hot water & plumbing issues…. 🫤 There was a small earthquake my first night there. No one thought to make an announcement or move people outside. Pretty strange hospitality

The main attraction of this hotel is its location on the Stupa circle with views of the Stupa from the rooftop cafe, but not from the rooms. However, there are other hotels that have views from the rooms but probably cost more. The hotel is accessed from one of the covered walkways leading off the circle and reception is in an open area next to the shops and the rooms are up the stairs opposite. Not an issue per se, but different enough to note. The room was quite small with insufficient room around the two single beds. The only window was to the corridor inside the hotel so lacked natural daylight...and privacy so we kept the curtains closed. The shower was not very warm but not a problem in August. Low water pressure was a slight issue too. Par for the course in a lot of budget places in Kathmandu. The toilet worked. The lack of power was a major issue: the electricity went off moments after we settled into the room; no lights and the sockets did not work. The receptionist said there was nothing she could do because the power was off in the whole hotel. This was not true because we could see lights in other rooms and the public areas. We asked to change rooms but this, apparently, was not possible - or too much trouble - despite most rooms being available. We insisted on a change then she instructed a security guard to fix the power. He did and it worked for a short while but when we returned after dinner there was no power and the only member of staff in the hotel at 8pm was a different security guard who could not speak English. So it was a night without light or a fan - an uncomfortably hot night in August. The morning discussion with reception did not lead to a solution; only more fiddling in the bowels of the building providing temporary electricity. The room rate included breakfast; this was clearly agreed when we checked in and paid and it also stated on the receipt - they required payment in advance. Despite this, the cafe tried to charge us but we stood our ground. The view was great, the breakfast OK though the menu was restricted because it was low season several of these options were still not available. The, it turned out, not all the items in the description could be provided. Oh well. If there was electricity then the other issues may have been tolerable for the location and views but overall this was not an enjoyable experience.
