    WiFi is a bit slow in the room on top floor but great in the hall or lower floors.

    I chose this hotel because I needed to stay just an extra night closer to the airport in Kathmandu before my flight early in the morning. The location is amazing, 10 seconds from Buddha Stupa and you can enjoy the view to it from the roof top! It also gets very quite at night as transport is not allowed in this area. I had a large suitcase and the concierge was so kind to meet me at the gate to the area to help me to get to the hotel. The sheets were very clean and the bed was very comfy.

    This year we wanted to stay in a better room so we booked a balcony room, long in advance! We were staying more days. We had the surprise to get totally another one, not even the double bad we asked for. We have been told we would get it later. It was not true. We had a discount instead, but honestly we wanted the room not the discount. The staff is EXTREMELY kind, they try to do their best, this is why we returned at this hotel.

    Great location, getting out from the hotel we get directly to the Stupa. If your expectations are to have a great location at a low price, it is great. There is no special breakfast, as we read on other reviews, no such thing as "asian" breakfast. There are 2 slices of bread (toasted) with egg and a banana. With tea or coffee. There is no kettle in the room but you can request one. There are no cups but you can request...

    The "Little Buddha" is a small and modest, nice and clean place at an affordable price, just a few steps from the Boudha stupa circle. Good food is available right next door in the "Sherpa Kitchen" restaurant. Sonam and Sudip were always friendly and helpful. It was an excellent "base camp" for my days in Kathmandu.

    Was not able to catch hot water several times in the morning and in the evening. It is noisy from external and internal sources during the night.

    Located next to stupa. Staff is very helpful. Some rooms are more comfortable.

    You need to climb flight of stairs to go into the hotel.

    The property is very clean and bright. Clean sheets and very attentive to detail owner ( Mr Sudip ). The property is also a street walk down to the famous Boudha stupa. Beneath the hotel is the famous Himalayan Java coffee outlet ( The Starbucks of Kathmandu )

    They checked us in for first 2 nights and then 1 night. We had no idea during our whole stay that the payment was not deducted by booking dot com, and the property did not ask no questions about payment unless we reached at the airport immigration after check out. For any normal person whose card details are saved in booking dot com, would not have a question in mind about the payment not being done. Out of nowhere, the property manager and the receptionist Sangye called and messaged me non stop at the airport, it kinda became nuisance because I had politely told them that I would settle the payment after confirming with booking dot com once I clear immigration and land my destination as I had a tight time schedule between immigration and boarding. Also told them not to worry and that we just needed to call and confirm with the website. That’s when they started harassing me with police threats, and defamation on social media. Said that they would stop my flight, called me fraud, said we ran away in CCTV camera; i just want to understand how does a fraud escape a scene? Of course with a haste in their walks, concealing face etc, but we had nothing to cover ourselves, we were very relaxed the entire morning of check out, even offered Rs 500 to Sangye after breakfast while leaving. Besides, we told Sangye several times since the beginning that we would be checking out after 3 nights. I was shattered to receive multiple and repeated threats from manager and Sangye. Some of the messages about social media threats have been removed by the sender as shown in the screenshots. The only reason I am reporting this is because of their unprofessionalism, and cheap conduct to threaten me using my passport copy. It was a nightmare experience. Regardless of threat used or not, I was to pay if booking dot com had not charged us like I was clear from the beginning of the issue. Once I landed and verified from the third party, i made the payment swiftly.

    Nothing can we recall of.
