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

Great hotel, fantastic friendly staff, helpful with absolutely everything, great rooms and perfect location in Thamel! Will be back for sure. Also, great breakfasts!

It truly lived up to its name "Magnificent"! The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-equipped with modern amenities. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring a comfortable experience. The hotel's location was convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions. The food was delicious, offering a great variety. Overall, a fantastic stay—I highly recommend it for a relaxing and enjoyable visit!

Amazing place and the value for money is ridiculous. We had a room with mountain view, it was gorgeous. The service is really excellent and they make anything happen for their customers. One of the best places we stayed in KTM by far, and we went to quite a lot of hotels.

the places is amazing,helpful stuff,very welcoming,quick to respond to you,there is nothing minus on this place,looking foward to staying with them once im back in Nepal again

The hospitality of the entire staff is great. They were very welcoming and helped with any queries, like nearby market, taxi bookings, mailing postcards or even when I shamelessly asked for free cups of their delicious masala chai. I was reluctant at first when reviews mention it, but their breakfast food is indeed very delicious especially the poori bhaji.
