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.

Amazing hotel for stay . I found very good hospitality.☺️ All standard facilities and very heplful staff. I loved the hotel very much ☺️. On

Stayed here on my partners birthday. They organised a delicious personalised cake for us to enjoy in the sun. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. The rooftop pool was lovely, great views out over the city and surrounding mountains. Good breakfast, fresh omelette made to order.

Clean and tidy, with friendly and helpful staff. Complimentary airport transfers. The location is excellent, and it is close to everything in Thamel. Highly recommended!

We had a great stay at Everest Boutique hotel for 2 nights. The room was very spacious and clean. A big plus was the fact that they have a fitness center on the roof top, equiped to our needs. And the roof terrace had a beatiful 360 view of Kathmandu. The hotel lies very close to the heart of Thamel, but luckily in a quiet part, so noise was never a problem. Just around the corner is the KSCC (climbing center) which is a great spot to hang out as well. The hotel staff was very helpful, and assisted us with a private car for visiting Bhaktapur at a reasonable price. And they were very service oriented, showing up with a bright smile every time of the day we met them. I highly recommend staying at this hotel.

Great location, friendly staff, clean

Staff were amazing! The airport pick up was so convenient and they organised my bus to Pokhara and even walked me to the correct bus in the morning. The rooms are comfortable and the food on the rooftop is great.

The room was spacious and comfortable, the bathroom was very modern and clean. The restaurant and common areas were also great and a nice place to sit

Very good location, comfortable room, good breakfast and helpfull staff! I highly recommend it

Value for money and the location! Great service from Tulsi (manager), we really appreciate the free upgrade and the early check in. Manita and Niraj from reception and Sunil the bartender were fabulous.
