Verified traveler

Liked closeness to main roads and Patan Durbar

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Loved the old city feel of the small alleys and old architecture. Glad I decided to stay in Patan - instead of the metropolitan Thamel. I felt very safe walking the street alone day or night in Patan.

5/5 - Excellent

Brigitte

Quiet and out of the beaten path. Great place to retreat from the intensity of Kathmandu and its overwhelming touristy Thamel neighborhood.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Lalitpur is way less crowded than Kathmandu and also cleaner.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Specifically in Patan, I enjoyed the historical buildings in the area. Although it is a busy area where you will see a lot of traffic, but this place also offers kind of restaurant and coffee shop.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Hotel Faith's location is central. Countless dining options and clothing shops. I like to prayer walk in the evenings and neighborhood is totally convenient and safe for ladies.
