"Pros: Recommended by a doctor colleague as the cleanest and best available hotel in Lumbini, Hotel Ananda Inn exceeded all expectations. With close and convenient access to the Maya Devi Temple, it offers not only comfort, but heartfelt hospitality and a rare, spiritual proximity. Kamala at reception brought charm and warmth to the property, while manager Ushan Shilpakar was endlessly gracious. Ramu and Madan at Maitri — the café and restaurant next door — ensured I was consistently well cared for. Clean rooms, a guest-focused energy, and a location that surpasses London, Manhattan, or LA. Thank you all for your gracious and welcoming hospitality. - I highly and sincerely recommend this property to anyone visiting the sacred heart of Lumbini." ~Jamie
