Cheap hotels in Lalitpur

After being kept awake by barking dogs over 10 sleepless nights in Kathmandu’s Thamel zone, I decided to go upmarket for 5 days in a location away from the noise and pollution. Purna’s photos make it look like a typical Indian pseudo palace hotel, but the hotel is in reality more elegant and refined. The owner’s main business is renovating historic Nepali temples in the traditional style, and the hotel showcases the woodwork the traditional Newari style, including its own small museum of carved artefacts. The carpentry throughout varies from very fine to rather rough and ready, but it feels authentic to the vernacular of ancient Nepal. The hotel is spread across several buildings at different levels surrounding garden enclosures, and includes a swimming pool. The view looks over Kathmandu city from a high vantage point. It’s on the outskirts of the built-up region of Kathmandu and Patan, and mostly free of traffic and barking dogs. The room was nicely appointed. The commodious breakfast plate included both a continental array – juice, coffee, fruit salad, porridge with honey, plus toast, butter & jam & a combined full English breakfast - omelette, sausages, baked beans, fried tomato & salad. The coffee is fine. The lunch/supper options have very reasonable prices. The service was exemplary – kind and courteous! Worth visiting: To escape the hubbub, Godawari Botanical Gardens is definitely worth a visit - feels very natural with families dancing on the lawns to Nepalese folk music and children splashing in the streams. 20min taxi drive – recommend the Pathao app to book cars or bikes at a cheaper rate. Sirupate Trout Farm Restaurant, 15mins drive. The trout is fresh straight from the farm water troughs beside the restaurant – Cost 1800NR per kg ($13 or £10). 1/2kg was big enough for 2. Don't confuse venue with 'Village Trout Farm' situated 200m before Sirupate's location.

Super friendly and very helpful staff ... ideal in many areas ... loved the conference room

Staff was super friendly and helpful, location is perfect for sightseeing, shopping and the airport but in the same time located in quiet area. Rooftop swimming pool with stunning wiev over Kathmandu. Delicious variety of dishes in restaurant - especially momos and tomato soup.

My stay at this hotel was incredible! The hotel is simple but very good, with amazing staff who made me feel right at home. The location was perfect, offering easy access to everything I needed. They even provided a free airport pick-up, which was a wonderful touch. The included breakfast was delicious, with a variety of tasty options to start the day. I plan to return to Nepal and will definitely stay here again. You can book this hotel without hesitation – it's an excellent value for the price. Highly recommended!

The staff was just amazing and very helpful. The hotel is very clean and the service is exceptional. The field trip was organised in just a few minutes and I could see the sights I thought I would not have enough time to go and explore. I can only say a big thank you to the manager.

Super experience, exceded my expectations. Kathmandu center is very noisy and dusty, this hotel has perfect location as is in the center and in a quiet area. Hotel manager Abhi is super helpful, gave good recommendations, helped to find money exchange. Rooms are nice and comfortable

Excellent property in the Heart of Thamel with a very cosy reception and the staff is excellent. The Manager Adhikari ensures that he meets all the guests atleast once and enquires how was the stay and if we are facing any problems. Also, the 6th floor roof restaurant is cool serving very good breakfast and meals thru out the day. All the staff are exceptional and thats what makes staying in this place a wow experience. I went during the coldest month of Kathmandu (during December) and the bathroom had steaming hot water and having a shower was a luxury. Very clean rooms and hotel.

It is not about the beauty of the place, but about the people, cordial, dear, always ready to helpI, special Karan(usuali i don't remember names, and remember his). I met many solo travelers, with some of them I continued the adventure in Nepal. The place is in a good location, you can walk to everything, Warm recommendations!
