Siddharthanagar is a city in Rupandehi District in Western Nepal.
Has good, clean, modern rooms for NRs. 600/800. They often give a discount.
Just opened in 2011, in Siddharthanagar and Oh Ho, the first with a swimming pool! Nearly Olympic size! Located just south of Devkota Chowk- Sunauli Road. Very fine Indian and continental restaurant, meeting facilities. Expect to pay a lot for a room there.
One of the newer hotel entrants and located on Narayana Path 50 meters south of Bank Road intersection. It has clean rooms for $25/30 and $35/40 with A/C. They often give a discount. It has an excellent restaurant run by the chef of the former Kasturi Pure Vegetarian Restaurant serving Indian, tandoori, Chinese and some continental. Dishes begin around 60 NRs. If you ask politely they may even make you a non-menu treat the Kasturi Special Pulau.
One of the oldest hotels but is a well-managed/well maintained place that has comfortable rooms for $25/30 and $35/40 with A/C. They often give a discount. Being on one of the main crossroads, so it can be noisy in the early morning. It has a very good restaurant that serves Indian vegetarian and tandoori, Chinese and some continental.
An upscale, three-star hotel with lovely gardens and Newari architecture. It has clean, A/C rooms for $50/60.
It's a bit out of the way but it's got a big swimming pool!
By bus
From Delhi via Gorakhpur and Sunauli (Be sure to review warnings about scams at Sunauli border crossing.) 24 - 30 hours.
By train
From Delhi to Gorakhpur. A broad gauge track goes to Nautanwa from Gorakhpur but trains are infrequent so travellers may prefer to hire a taxi directly to Sunauli, taking about two hours.
Rickshaws are a good option within the city, or walking. Expect to pay about 2 rupees per minute, depending on how many people you are or if you have a lot of cargo.
