stayed here a few times over the last 10 years, always a reliable, clean and well staffed hotel should you need to stay in the Thamel area.

Sometimes a bit of sounds from doors slamming or other guests but nothing dramatic

We liked the garden, the staff very kind and responsive, and the central location but in a quiter street.

We loved the friendly vibe of the staff, it became our kathmandu base while travelling in nepal. Great food, vege biriyani and vege pakoudas our favourite.

We stayed at Hotel Ganesh Himal twice during our Nepal trip. Everything was so pleasant. It felt like coming home for the second stay!

single use soap packets and shampoo is still a thing here. buuuuut that's just me imposing my western bias

this is our go to place when we come to kathmandu. we stayed here 12 years ago and it still holds that same charm. each room is decorated a little different, some have a view of Swayambu but all are comfy. just close enough to Thamel for your shopping trekking needs but not IN all the chaos. Garden setting for those rest days and a dang good biryani to refuel. Also the staff are incredible welcoming, super nice, and always helpful.

The room was a little small, but that was totally reasonable for the price. The room didnt have a fan but the staff quickly brought one up when I pointed this out. Some rooms have kettles so request one if you need one.

Friendly helpful staff. Good menu, reasonably priced. Lovely garden dining. Room service on request. Cheap room. Excellent value. This was my third stay here in as many weeks.

Got the deluxe family room because it was the only room available on booking.com which clearly had multiple beds. I needed 2 beds in one room. This is more a problem with the booking.com app I think as it kept showing double rooms when I needed a twin. If i had contacted the hotel directly I am sure I could have gotten a suitable basic twin room for a third of the price.

Friendly, helpful staff. Central convenient location but also away from busy noise. Good food menu, resonably priced and available. Comfortable beds. Nice garden for eating in. Great view from balcony at cost of extra stairs to climb.

It was noisy but since really early in the morning but earplugs solved the problem

Nice location and friendly staff

Absolutely nothing. Everything was perfect!

I love EVERYTHING about Ganesh Himal! I have been visiting Nepal every year for the past 16 years and have stayed in many hotels in the Thamel area! But now I have found the pace I will always return to. Really close to the Thamel area but the hotel is tucked away in a local ; neighbourhood. It's the most peaceful place I have ever stayed in KTM! It ticks every box. The staff are amazing, the hotel menu delicious! The huge garden area is heaven to come back to after a busy day. The rooms are large and comfortable..they have a huge choice! And best of all..one of the cheapest places I've found with such luxury!!! And reliable hot water!!! It is easy walking distance to see all the sights...duch as Dhurber Square just down the road .and Swayumbu the Monkey Temple..The huge colourful labyrinth of the Assan Markets are close by too. Being in a local area you can soak up.local life while wandering around! I can't speak highly enough of this hotel. I will never stay anywhere else now! Highly highly recommend!!!

This is a great location in Thamel, just five minutes walk from the centre of things is this quiet, friendly retreat with a fabulous outdoor garden area. Great value for price point - clean, friendly, location great, quiet, comfy bed and working hot shower and AC

Nice garden inside the house, cosy and silent place, like an oasis. Not far from all important places in Kathmandu. Restaurant in the hotel, which was very comfortable for us.

Location was close to centre (Thamel)

Overall great hotel. Used as a base to explore Nepal and stayed 3 times over a few weeks. Great location for exploring main sites of Kathmandu and to prepare for a trek. Staff were amazing! We had a lot of questions and they were always very helpful and friendly. Beautiful courtyard to relax and unwind after a busy day in Kathmandu. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

A fantastic Hotel in a great location few minutes walk to the centre one way and the Durbur square the other received the most warm welcome from the lovely and kind Deepti on reception and Kancha who seemed in charge of maintenance. he found a very good current exchange for me instead of directions he personally took me to it. and Prakash head waiter who was so helpful too. excellent value breakfast and I had lovely evening meal on night. also a beautiful peaceful garden to eat /drink sit in etc and nice roof terrace as well.

Bathroom a bit basic, but for Nepal standards more than good enough.

Very nice Hotel in Kathmandu. Perfectly central between Thamel and Durbar Square but still in a quiet side road. Also offer Airport-Pickup, have a nice Rooftop Terrace, 24h Reception and excellent breakfast. Was here already 3 times and would come again without any hesitation.

I booked 2 rooms. In first room, the restroom was a bit dated & old. But in another room, it's just renovated so it's a lot better so I think the overall condition of the room wil be depend on which room is assigned to you.

Staff & owners (everybody) are very nice and willing to help. They all have nice service attitude and try to make your stay as pleasant as possible. There is welcome drinks (tea) with warm welcome from the staff when you first arrive (which is hard to find among this price point).
