    Breakfast and dinner service were slow but they were short staffed due to big religious festival when most Nepalis return to their families for a few days. It was great to return to after our trek for lovely hot showers ! There was some communication issue which meant the airport pick up did not happen so I would double check if you want them to pick you up. No problems with them organising a transfer back to the airport though.

    The garden was lovely and so peaceful after the bustle of Kathmandu. The rooms and beds were comfortable with great views from a roof terrace although not much seating up there. The staff were very helpful.

    Everything is wonderful at Ganesh Himal. Room rates are extremely reasonable for my 9 night stay in Sept-October 2022. Love the breakfast time in the beautiful garden every morning. Staff are so friendly and helpful. I have also stayed 2N in another more expensive hotel, but still prefer Ganesh Himal so returned after my trek. Will not hesitate to book here again for the future trips.

    An ideal place to stay ahead of a trek in Nepal

    The bathroom was a bit 'tired' and needed some work. The shower sprayed in a variety of directions leaving the floor quite wet! But the water was consistently hot, so this wasn't a major problem. WiFi is slow (but does the job) and the TV doesn't work brilliantly, but this is the case in most of Kathmandu and if you are heading to a place like Nepal, you dont want to sit around watching telly anyway.

    Very good hotel in a great area of Kathmandu. It's right in old Thamel, but just off a quiet little back street so you get the benefit of being right in the bustle of Thamel, but without the noise at night. It also feels safe and secure with 24 hour staff on the gates. The breakfast was very good and the warmth of the hosts was really good. There is a lovely courtyard with greenery and shade which is great to sit in (and have breakfast in). There are also really nice shared balconies overlooking the courtyard with comfortable seating. It's very easy to arrange transport, guides, trips, etc frrom the hotel as they have a good agent who is always available in the morning to chat to in the courtyard (and no hard sell - he offers genuinely good advice). I would definitely recommend this place to stay ahead of any trek in Nepal.

    The room had a leak around the toilet, the windows only had a mosquito net, no glass. The doors only had wooden bolts to secure once inside. And the lock outside, was a padlock. It felt unsafe. Not what you'd expect for the nightly rate charged.

    Reception was amazing, as were all the staff we encountered. They were all so welcoming. The food was also good.

    The hotel is in a quiet alley 10 minutes away (walking) outside the busy area of Thamel... which makes it quiet but if you are a solo female traveller it could feel strange walking back to the hotel late night alone.

    The hotel is super charmingly decorated (almost like a mini museum) and located in a quiet street near the centre. It has a garden and common balcony seating area at each floor to relax. The room was super clean with an amazing hot shower. They provide storage options.

    Worst Hotel in Nepal

    This was a weird Hotel. They gave us the rooms on the 5th floor and there are no elevators. The room was very small. There was a phone and a tv which was kept disconnected. Of course the phone did not work. The bathroom was unlike anything I have ever seen before in my life. The toilet seat was smaller than the pot, I know it may sound bizarre but that was literally the case. They might have ordered toilet seats that were way smaller than the pot and still decided to go ahead with it, so the toilet seat basically only covered 75% of the pot. This shows how much they care about their property and customers. Also there was no ceiling fan in the room. There was an old wall fan which was so old and made a lot of noise. The mattress on the bed was also very old and uncomfortable to sleep on. They offered to move us to the third floor but said there was no fan or AC in those rooms. This Hotel definitely isn't worth wasting 22 Euros on. This was the worst property we stayed during our 2 week trip in Nepal.

    Nothing. Worst hotel ever.

    Room wasn't that clean, and the furniture was very tired. Hot water was inconsistent (sometimes I'd get hot water in the morning, sometimes in the evening, no rhyme or reason), and the shower head itself seemed to send water in random directions. After this I've gone to a hostel which is 5x cheaper, but it is cleaner, the furniture is better and the hot water is excellent. As its off-season, I was upgraded to a better room at no cost, but I don't know what was deluxe about it. I was also instantly and repeatedly bothered by a trekking organiser who has an office in the hotel and has a feud with other trekking companies. Bizarre.

    Staff were very friendly, location was good, garden area and terraces were nice.
