Lonely Planet review

A short walk from the lake, down the alley beside the 7-Eleven pub, Temple Villa feels a bit like a posh family home. The garden is full of exotic butterflies and the bedrooms are spacious and nicely furnished, with large marble bathrooms.

There are quite a few decent budget hotels along this alley, but Temple Villa stands out for its neatly trimmed lawns and laid-back atmosphere. The garden catches the sun for most of the day, and the exotic blooms attract some massive tropical butterflies. Inside, things are pleasantly informal - shoes are left in the porch and there's a temple-shaped meditation room on the roof, fitting the meditative mood. It feels more like a private house than a hotel and the marble corridors are cool and quiet. Rooms are simple but tastefully furnished and well cared for - the doubles with private bathrooms are sunnier and more inviting than the smaller, darker rooms with common bathrooms downstairs. Showers are hot and prices reasonable - a good choice in the heart of Lakeside.
