"The staff are very committed to communicating with their guests. They contacted me several times to ask for my arrival time. However, I was very busy at the time and contacted them while enroute to the property. They sprung into action and met me there without hesitation.
The property is good. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen was fully functioning. The bathroom had ample hot water. There are lovely plants in the.living room and bedroom. The Wifi connectioni was very reliable. My phone charged quickly.
The only challenge was the narrow passage to the building that accommodates foot and motorcycles traffic. The second being the towels that did not smell fresh. Other than that, I enjoyed my short time there."
"Why Boudha Boutique Inn doesn't have higher scores on Trip.com is a mystery! This quaint and beautifully appointed inn has everything one would want for a pleasant stay. The bed and bedding are extremely clean and comfortable. The aircon is robust. They provide generous amounts of soap, shampoo and towels. The food is deliciously prepared despite dietary restrictions. There are snacks and drinks available in the room for a modest fee. The staff are kind, accommodating and understand the importance of providing excellent customer service. For example, I needed a printed document at the last minute. The front desk did not hesitate to assist me. I ordered my lunch using WhatsApp 30 minutes before returning to the property and received it shortly after I arrived. All in all, this is one of the better accommodations in Kathmandu. I highly recommend using them."
