Room was spotless. Housekeeping available when needed. Staff super friendly and very efficient. Great location. Located in a side street so away from traffic noise. Easy walk to main street and Peace Park.
The hotel, Hotel Ananda Inn, is located outside Gate 5 of Lumbini, surrounded by restaurants and shops, and close to taxi and bus stops. The room was comfortable, clean, and tidy. Overall, this hotel isn't particularly good, but there aren't any major issues. It's probably above average.
Helt utrolig hyggelig og hjepsomt personale i resepsjon ,restaurant og ledelse
Ellers var det en veldig fin rolig liten hage på baksiden av hotellet hvor det var fint å sitte morgen og kveld
Om vi kommer hit igjen vil vi garantert bruke dette hotellet, kan anbefales på det varmeste
マヤデヴィ寺院に近いゲート5から徒歩1分、ツーリストバスパークからも徒歩1分の抜群の場所。It is situated conveniently, 1 min walk from gate5 to Maya Devi temple, and 1 min walk from the tourist bus park.
スタッフは親切。Staff members are kind and helpful.
レストランはネパール、インド、中華、洋風が揃っている、選択肢は少な目。Restaurant serves Nepali, Indian, Chinese & Western meals, though choice is limited.
残念だったのは、シャワーを浴びると、近くにあるトイレの便器も濡れてしまう点。The only regret was that when you take shower, nearby toilet cubicle gets wet either.
My main goal was to see the Maya Devi where Shakyamuni Buddha was born. Hotel Ananda Inn is just steps from the archway where the short walk to the Temple begins. Excellent service from the management and waiters from the adjoining restaurant where we ate all of our meals.
Yes Lumbini is mosquito kingdom but still you can enjoy your stay with a clean room w/hot shower, kind&friendly staff, delicious meal served from the restsurant on the ground floor.

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
The hotel was average at best. we made unknowingly a 3 X nights reservation. But everything can be seen in one day only which is not
the hotel fault. It is simply just a very dusty place with very little to do
or restaurants to go to. The location was good, just 50 m. away from
the main gate.
Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral gegenüber einem der Haupteingänge zum Buddha Park. Mein Zimmer war klein aber sauber und ruhig. Die Klimaanlage hat gut funktioniert. Zum Frühstück gab es Omlette, Toast, ein bisschen Butter und Marmelade, sowie Kaffee oder Tee und Saft. Es gehört ein winziger Garten zu dem Hotel, allerdings war es zu heiß, um draußen zu sitzen. Das Essen im Hotel ist ganz okay. Aber es gibt in der Nähe auch eine Menge kleine lokale Restaurants. Den Ort selbst fand ich so schrecklich, dass ich nicht wie ursprünglich geplant drei Nächte sondern nur zwei Nächte geblieben bin. Wenn man nur den Butter park anschauen will, reicht das auch. Hier empfiehlt es sich, ein Fahrrad zu mieten. Denn es sind unendliche Wege zurückzulegen. Der Hotelmanager war außerordentlich freundlich und hat mir geholfen, meine Weiterreise nach Pokhara per Flug zu organisieren.
Wow! By far the best hotel I stayed in while in Nepal. The best air conditioning for certain and it was needed for the very hot temps. Close to the gate to see the birthplace of the Lord Buddha and the pillar of Asoka. Nice little restaurant on site, friendly staff. Clean rooms. A little more money but we ll worth it!
On my Nepal trip, this was the most expensive hotel at 40$/night. It was also the worst. Yes, all the review sites and guides say that there is not much choice in Lumbini unless you stay outside of town and for that you need your own transportation. They are correct.
Pros: 24/7 hot water, staff were great, and the bed was comfortable.
Cons: the bathroom neeed to be thoroughly bleached and deconned- bring your own shower shoes; while the bed was comfortable, I slept on top of my silk sheet liner because the sheets, etc. were scary; the aircon was useless-it barely blew out tepid air and you needed the fan, the room was grimy and there were three smashed, dead insects on the wall. Your bottled water was not refilled each day.
The staff did recommend that I leave early (0600) for the Buddist Park instead of going after breakfast because it would be cooler. They were right. I was done before 1000 and the staff kindly let me have my included breakfast late.
The load shedding was continuous (mostly in the evening); about every half hour things would go off and then the generator would kick in.
The hotel does have a nice selection of souvenirs at competitive prices.
