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.

Faded Glory
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).

Room was ok. Most staff were friendly. No heating in winter was harsh. It was freezing. Room was so dusty we had to take antihistamines. Not worth the money.

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.
