We very much liked this friendly local hotel. It has a nice quiet location a few minutes walk south-west of Thamel and nearer to Kathmandu Durbar Square (a 10 min walk). There is a very nice courtyard where we enjoyed our breakfast, each floor of the hotel has it's own balcony and there's also a simple roof terrace where we liked to sit in the evening. Room & bathroom were fairly basic but clean and the bed was comfortable. We liked free drinking water being readily available from a large water container in reception rather than plastic 1 litre bottles to help reduce plastic. WiFi worked fine. Staff were all great with the two front desk staff especially helpful when my daughter had an on-line job interview using the hotel's business office. There seemed to be a lot of returning guests which is always a good sign.

Stay in this Hotel!

Excellent brand new hotel near Durbar Square at a great price in the heart of Thamel. I have been here one week and I love it. Staff are welcoming (I was greeted with a welcome drink) and everyone treats you in a very friendly and helpful manner. They also organized my trip to Pokhara for me. This is my first visit to Nepal and it has been a great introduction to the community. The restaurant has a very large menu with a lot of variety. I love the rooftop chill lounge and bar with sweeping 360 views of Kathmandu! I will definitely be coming back!

Namaste 🙏

Property was good but the booking process was poor. The hotel hadn't heard of wotif and despite me giving my name three times they couldn't find my booking and then suddenly found it. I booked a double room but only received a single. The hotel itself was clean and quiet with excellent service, the best mattress I've had in Nepal and welcome drink. I'd stay again but not with wotif.

The Hotel Ganesh is wonderful place to stay in Kathmandu. The staff of both the reception and the restaurant were so very gracious and friendly. Clean & quiet rooms, with reliable hot water at any time of day or evening. The beautiful restaurant courtyard was a great place to start and end the day! I would book this hotel again in a heartbeat - an incredible value. About a 10 minute walk from all the restaurants and shops in the Thamel District.

Luxury on the 6th Floor at $45Cdn

We loved this centrally located hotel - friendly staff, superb rooms, great view from our 6th Floor balcony, good value, and we enjoyed the elevator-free, pre-trekking 74 preparatory steps up to our room. For this kind of money you want to move in for a month. The serving staff at the desk, security, courtyard restaurant staff and cleaning personal were all about friendly, helpful customer service.

I was disappointed perhaps because I had stayed there ten years before. The hotel has lost its cachet although less so than Kathmandu which is a nearly unbearable crowded polluted city (of course, partly due to last year's quake).

Nice hotel, standard rooms need improvent

Comfortable and cosy hotel because of the nice decoration and pleasant garden, also has terraces in each floor. Good breakfast but always the same. Great service except for the guy in the restaurant that always was asking the room number and even asking the key to prove it... Standard rooms need improvement at least in bathroom, since it is old and not operating as they should. I would be again there. It is in a central area of Khatmandu.

Friendly & helpful place in a chaotic city

This hotel is a little gem. We stayed in a standard rate room which was basic but clean with comfortable beds. The towels were changed daily & there is drinking water in reception where you can refill your bottle & take out with you.
The hotel garden is a little sanctuary in an incredibly chaotic, noisy city & a lovely place to sit in the sunshine (if the smog allows the sun through!)
All the staff are friendly and go out of their way to help you. They organised sight-seeing trips for us around the Kathmandu valley & onward visits to Chitwan & Pokhara.
I will return to Nepal to see more of the country & wouldn't hesitate to stay at the Hotel Ganesh Himal again.

Pleasant ... but overpriced!

Pleasant enough place, oldish yet refurbed, with a few antiques strewn around. Strongest point is the beautiful garden. Room a bit cramped. Located near centre of Kathmandu yet sufficiently far from Thamel to be fairly quiet; however it's down an unpaved alley, difficult to walk back after dark, especially during the (frequent) powercuts. Restaurant adequate but overpriced and stingy portions - chicken biryani with only 3 pieces of chicken! Etc. Was torn, wanting to eat elsewhere yet not wanting to negociate the tricky path!

Great staff + courtyard + location

I stayed at Hotel Ganesh Himal for a total of 2 weeks. The hotel really shines with it's friendly and welcoming staff as well as with it's comfy courtyard. Special thanks to Siri and the other waiters for the great service. The same goes for Kancha, who I believe is the janitor. I found the food offered great and reasonably priced. I also liked the location which is not in the midst of the annoying chaos of Thamel, but still not more than a few minutes away.
The rooms are somewhat dated but that didn't bother me. I stayed in different rooms of the same category and found they were quite different. In some the bathroom fixtures are not ok, some missing a shower screen, kettle filters are dirty and other small things that do however make a difference. In my view it wouldn't take much effort to improve these things. Cleanliness could also be improved.
