I stayed here for the first three nights of my trip to Nepal. I knew it was more expensive than the average hotel when I booked but as a solo female traveller new to Nepal I decided that I would be happy to pay the extra for the first few nights whilst I found my feet. Staff very friendly, room... More

This hotel is gorgeous. I stayed in an expensive suite for one night which was absolutely gorgeous with a sparkling bathroom. I then stayed in a less expensive twin, which was nowhere near as impressive but perfectly adequate, if not small and basic. The facilities are great, free computers with internet downstairs. The corridors and reception area are decorated magnificently.... More

We took a gamble on this hotel, being unable to get a room at a place with which we are familiar. the gamble paid off. The location is excellent, the staff are friendly and super helpful and will arrange trips all over, including trekking, at very reasonable costs. They obviously have their favourite places which are most likely to their... More

We Loved the Ganesh Himal, all together we spent over a week here. Staff we friendly, rooms clean, HOT water which was exciting and rooms affordable. The location is just outside the Thamel area and is an easy walk. The roof top was our favorite place to relax and unwind. The only thing we did not love is the toilets... More

Fun atmosphere after three weeks of hiking to Everest Base Camp. Hot water, free wifi and a beautiful garden to hang out! Location is a bit sketchy at night but not far from Thamel. Worth the price after living like a homeless trekker!

We stayed here for a couple of nights, and enjoyed the great central location. Our room was basic but clean and very little noise despite being so close to the popular Thamel district. The garden area was a nice place to unwind with a meal or a drink after a walk in the busy streets of Kathmandu. They have free... More

We stayed at Ganesh Himal for 2 nights at the end of March and found it as a very welcoming and well located place to explore the centre of Kathmandu. Although we didn't get a free taxi pick up from the airport due to the late arrival, there was a porter at reception after midnight who checked us in without... More

This hotel stayed in a walking distance to Thamel and Durbar Square. The free airport pick-up was so nice. When we arrived at the hotel we were welcomed by smiling staffs and a cool fruit juice! We could also leave our luggage for weeks after check-out to go trekking. The manager was a supportive man, but the air ticket booking... More

The backyard of this Hotel is a Oasis in the "mess" of the city. It is a very pleasant place to enjoy a late afternoon drink or dinner. The hotel itself is nicely taken care, with traditional decorative items. The rooms are a bit old-fashion but they are clean. The best about this hotel is perhaps the food, breakfast is... More
