佛眼飯店(Butsugen)

Very warm and friendly. I m keep coming to this cosy and friendly place last 3 years

Hotel Butsungen is a gem in the heart of Boudhha. Not only is it ideally situated, it is a family-run hotel that offers the luxuries of a hotel with the care and attention of a small establishment. The rooms are comfortable and well equipped with hair dryers, heaters, and a safe. Breakfast is prepared upon arrival and there is a lovely outdoor seating area as well as a courtyard to relax and take a break from hectic Kathmandu. I was especially appreciative of the hospitality offered by the hotel proprietors!

Such a wonderful experience here for my 1st visit to Trek Khumbu Region and Climb Mountains! The Gardens and Landscaping are so peaceful from the Relaxing Swing in the Gated Courtyard. People always watering, sweeping and cleaning and politely asking if you need anything like local dining options and sight seeing or a hot cup of Tea or Milk Coffee as it is referred to here. My Sherpa Guide Domai lined this place up for me for relaxing rejuvenation between treks and I look forward to one more stay before departing back to Colorado! Did I mention it is a 2 minute walk to World Heritage Site, The Great Boudha Stupa-Shree Boudhantha, which is surrounded by Fabulous Shopping?

Pros: - Every morning, complimentary breakfast is provided. - The hotel is very close to Hyatt Regency, making it great for dining and taking walks. Cons: - The single bed is narrow. If you want to change your position at night, it’s uncomfortable. - One of the windows in our room is very close to another apartment building. It’s awkward because people from that building can easily see into our room. - The room’s lighting is dim, making it challenging and gloomy when spending extended time in such a small space. - The bath towels are very old, some even have holes. - The hotel is surrounded by noise. Every morning starting at 4:00am, dogs bark and crows caw.

Hotel Butsugen is the absolute best and I immediately felt like part of the family. The breakfast and masala tea was great. Enjoy a Nepal beer on the rooftop with a view of the Boudhananth Stupa, which is only a five minute walk away. The rest of our group was staying at the Hyatt Regency and there is a very convenient back entrance to the Hyatt, also a five minute walk. Luggage storage was safe and secure during our two week trek.

My friend and I stayed here for a few days after our trek. The couple who runs the hotel are really helpful and sweet. They arranged many cab rides for us (haggling can become tiring after a few weeks in Nepal). Breakfast was homemade and freshly prepared every morning with a side of fruits. The location is a 5 minute stroll to the Supta and there are plenty of restaurants and cafes in the area. Would definitely recommend! One thing to note: there is no elevator. Not an issue for us but may be for those who need assistance going up.

This hotel is fantastic. It is clean, accommodating, and in a great location. It is within a 2 minute walk from the Boudha Stupa (the area where they shot some clips for Marvel's Dr. Strange). Because of that you will find lots of restaurants, shops, and coffee houses (try the Himalayan Java Restaurant). But the best part of the trip was interacting with the hotel owners. They were incredibly friendly and helpful. They were quick with a nice cup of tea or coffee and enjoyed making conversation. I learned a great deal about Nepal from them! Several times they arranged taxi's for us, being willing to communicate with the taxi drivers. The breakfast was delicious (eggs, toast, potatoes, fruit, and beans). I don't know why anyone would stay anywhere else when visiting Kathmandu!
