Hotels Near Lumbini Garden (ලුම්බිණි සල් උයන) in Lumbini Sanskritik

It is within walking distance from the Buddhist Park. It is actually at Gate 2 of the park. The location is very good. The hotel is well planned, the environment is elegant, the red brick building is fully integrated into the Buddhist park, and the service staff are warm and friendly. The hotel has a history of more than 30 years. The rooms are designed by the Japanese, and the layout is full of Japanese style. Although the maintenance is good, the facilities are too old after all. The cooling capacity of the air conditioner is limited. I don’t know if it’s because of the low season. On the first day we arrived at the store, there were no other guests in the huge hotel. There were less than 10 staff members serving the guests in one of our rooms. On the second day, the other room seemed to be occupied. The hotel does not provide hot water for bathing, but because of the hot weather, the problem is not too big. There are no other commercial facilities around. If you don't want to call a car, you can only have meals at the hotel, and the price is normal.

Second time coming to Lumbini, second time staying here. very good! The people at the hotel are very nice. The most important thing is that the location is very close to the Maya Devi Temple and the station.

Five Elements was my highlight in Lumbini. My room was spacious and the AC was excellent and rescued my stay in hot Lumbini, which is definitely worth a visit but during the dry season you should definitely stay at a clean, modern hotel, such as Five Elements, that is well equipped with comfy big beds with exquisite cotton duvets and soft dreamlike pillows and covers. The bathroom has got everything you need and on top a water jet of high pressure - something I miss so often in hotels! The location is perfect because it is a bit back from the main road. My sleep was brilliant and I also enjoyed the quality of my food served by friendly helpful staff. It isn’t far from the beautiful Maya Devi Temple, which I liked best. Actually, this hotel isn’t far from any attraction in Lumbini. All in all, I can only recommend staying there, booking was easy, without complications of any kind. I can say that Five Elements made my stay😊 Thank you 🙏 very much everybody.

The toilet in the bathroom was broken for 3 days. I asked every day for them to fix it but apparently there’s only one plumber in the whole of lumbini and he was busy. So I had to use a bucket to flush, which needless to say wasn’t much fun. The bathroom itself looked like it hadn’t been cleaned thoroughly for a good while. Zero hot water the whole week I was there. Tip: the water from the outside pump was actually warmer! Internet didn’t work in the room so had to sit downstairs. Still, when you’re in lumbini you don’t spend much time in your hotel anyway. The location was central and convenient.

LOCATION & ATTRACTIONS NEARBY *** Located in the main part of Lumbini town, just few steps away from one of the gate to get to the Maya Devi Temple and Old Shakya Temple. It’s literally few minutes away, walking. After that, I recommend to negotiate an auto-rikshaw (they have electric ones now) to see all other temples and the World Peace Pagoda (distances are huge, so this is very efficient way to do it), it’s not expensive and definitely more comfortable. Also, if you’re travelling by bus, they will be probably stopping somewhere in the area. There are some food and souvenir shops just 2 min away from the hotel. HOTEL OVERVIEW *** It is quite basic hotel, not very pretty (like most buildings in Lumbini), built in a bit chaotic style (outside). If you’re travelling by car, you can leave it in front of the hotel or in the secured place behind the hotel (behind the gate). PURPOSE OF THIS TRIP *** Leisure RESERVATION *** Via ebookers.ie (expedia) as they offered the best pre-paid rates. LENGTH OF MY STAY *** 1 night – Mar 2019 CHECK-IN *** We arrived in the early evening after long and tired full journey from Kathmandu (I was driving myself). The amount of dust we consumed on the way was unbelievable. So what we needed, was a quick check-in and shower. We’ve been accommodated immediately and helped with our luggage. Rooms were allocated as requested as we’re travelling with friends. Check-in was quick and hassle-free. We’ve been advised of the meal options and what / when / where to go the next day. I also requested if they have somebody to help with the car wash (yes, unusual request, but my car was actually covered in 1 cm layer of dust) and they helped with it (of course I paid for it as intended). LOBBY & RECEPTION *** Small reception where you can also get some drinks. There’s restaurant attached to it where we decided to have our dinner. Menu was quite simple, but good choice and food was delicious. We were very happy with this choice. ROOM *** Standard Rooms #203 & #202 were allocated for us. Rooms were quite small and basic, but this is exactly what I paid for. I have to admit, the price we paid was silly low, so I wasn’t expecting any luxurious. Room was clean and fresh, with two beds (quite hard mattress’). Air-conditioner unit was quite noisy, but the fan was absolutely fine most of the time. There was small wardrobe, mirrors and coffee/tea making kit. Complimentary 2 bottles of water were also provided. As I said, nothing special (this is not a luxury hotel), but more than I expected and paid for. BATHROOM *** Similar to the room, standard, but clean. Some soap was provided, but you may consider having your own toiletries. BREAKFAST *** We paid for the breakfast in the hotel and this was very good idea. The selection was enough and same as dinner, quite tasty. Definitely recommend doing it instead of walking around and trying to find something else. No point of wasting your time. INTERNET

It is difficult to review this hotel without being truthful and yet, I do not wish to spoilt the business. So for what it is, here are the truths. Bedroom is decent size, aircon fairly strong and wifi is good. There are many plugs for your devices, and the in-house water comes in Glass Bottles (but there’s probably the only saving grace for this hotel). However there are Stained toilet bowl, there is no bidet, and the flush is not working, shower stand under bathtub and i can’t figure out how to get hot water, i let the water run to get hot water but it doesn’t to work. I highlighted to the team member and they get it fixed. Here, the staff are helpful to make things work for you, and I give them credit for it. Due to the low occupancy, breakfast was a set meal option, but it came in big portion and tasty. The hotel probably need more customers for the fund to renovate itself, but yet at the current stage it is difficult to recommend this hotel.

Rumbini Buddha garden resort is not only a hotel but also a beautiful garden with lotus pond , surrounded by lawns and forests, I really appreciate staff members of the hotel, they are so kind and sincere, helping me a lot in many ways, ready to offer what you need instantly. The room is clean, spacious and good light with morden facilities like Ac, hot shower, fast WiFi. It has two baconies where you can watch views and relax and dry your clothes. They are very considerate when cleaning rooms, even helped to fold my messy clothes and shoes, and to put back the clothes you dried in the bacony into the room, keeping everything tidy and nice. The food was very delicious too, I asked them to send to my room, they are very patient, packed the food carefully and delivered with the whole set of delicate dishes, glasses, spoon, knife and so on. In the morning you can hear the birds singing and the staff are diligently doing gardening, cleaning, washing. They even bow down to wipe the bricks of the road leading to room buildings in the garden which touches and impresses me. I am really grateful to all those who have served and helped me with warm hospitality and patience. I highly recommend Rumbini Buddha garden. It's a wonderful choice when you you are in Lumbini.

The best part is that the hotel is so near by the lumbini. Hotel was so peace and away from traffic. The room was so wonderful and giving the peace minded thinking. Service and food was very excellent. There staff was very helpful and so kind . My friends also said hotel was very wonderful and perfect to stay in there.
