Family hotels and homes 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.

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.

Best hotel, good location, great rooms, excellent restaurant and helpful staf

Excellent service and nice comfortable and cozy room.

We stayed in the family room. The room was spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The location is very good in Thamel and the hostel has a nice roof top with a great view.

Great hotel. Much more that I was thinking about. Stuff and CEO is very helpful and do all of their best to help you. Food was good in hotel. Room was comfortable, but remember, you have no heating in Nepal. So, you must use conditioner to heat the room. And you'll get one-way free transfer from or to airport. It was great experience in this hotel. Highly recommend. Location - in the historical center of Kathmandu.

Our stay at Oasis Kathmandu was simply perfect! From the moment we arrived, we felt like part of a family. The staff was incredibly friendly, always attentive, and ready to help with anything we needed. Their hospitality made our experience truly special. The hotel was spotlessly clean, with comfortable and well-maintained rooms that provided a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring. The restaurant was outstanding, offering delicious, perfectly prepared meals that exceeded our expectations every time. And the location? Absolutely ideal! Nestled close to the city center, the hotel is just a 15-minute walk to Durbar Square, and the route takes you right through a vibrant bazaar—the perfect chance to pick up unique gifts and souvenirs while soaking in the lively atmosphere of the Thamel quarter. This area is a dream for backpackers, with its charming streets, hidden gems, and rooftop restaurants offering breathtaking views of the Himalayan mountains. One of the highlights of our trip was a Himalayan exploration tour that the hotel staff arranged for us. The price was reasonable, and we spent a whole day hiking in the hills, getting closer to the majestic mountains we had longed to see. It was exactly what we were looking for, and we truly appreciated how effortlessly they helped make it happen. Everything about our stay was wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll feel welcome, comfortable, and have the opportunity to explore Nepal in the best way possible, Oasis Kathmandu is the perfect choice!

A home away from home. This place is a prime example of where one can still receive 5 star hospitality without staying in a 5 star hotel. I was provided free pickup from the airport and to my next hotel. Breakfast was simple and yet delicious. And you can eat as much as you like. Food is served fresh from the kitchen. Every hotel staff are so friendly. Even the manager was checking on each guest during breakfast to ensure that they were satisfied with their meals and stay.

People are very friendly, we appreciate a lot. I'll return again
