Himalayan Ghar

A nicely kept hotel in a quiet area of Thamel. The room was clean and simple. Very nice for Thamel. The service was wonderful, especially Sussil and the front desk. Breakfast on the rooftop was much better than expected. Azaya the chef was excellent! I would stay here again.

The bedroom was comfortable and the bed was big and comfy.

The shower either produced hot or cool water. Very difficult to control. The man on reception was running the breakfast in the morning on the terrace. He apologised for it being festival time, saying there was no staff, but the buffet was limited to Dahl steamed veg and some dried out pieces of sausage. The limited cereal and condiments were all sitting in the blazing sun. There were no plates or sufficient cutlery. The man asked if there was anything I wanted, so I requested some eggs and bread. The bread was brought out of the kitchen in his hand, no butter available. The tables hadn't been cleaned or set for breakfast. I decided not to eat there again. On checking out , I discovered I had been charged twice for the stay. I am continuing to debate this with booking.com as the hotel accepts no responsibility.

The BEST hotel in Kathmandu!!! Right in Thamel but down a very quiet side street so you have an oasis to retreat to away from the hustle and bustle. The staff are the most helpful hotel staff ever. Especially Krishna, Sussil, Ajit and everyone else (too many to name, everyone is so lovely). I would recommend this hotel to anyone. We came back twice and every time felt like we were coming home to family.

Pros. / Cons Location. We'll located and at the end of a dead-end, so quieter. / On the outer edge of Thamel. Room: Big and pretty clean with mini bar and good AC / No soundproofing with the main stairway or outside. No blinds in bathroom leaving you exposed to many neighbors eyes. Shower pressure is weak and temperature varies A LOT during the shower. Also, no shelf in the shower to put soap or shampoo. Minibar temperature is set to room temperature. There's a random hole in the wall. Pretty strong moth ball smell in the room and sheets smell of bleach. Service: Friendly staff who attend well to the guests needs, responsive and adaptable. Room cleaning is very well done. / We picked this hotel for their advertised laundry service on site (a rare find in KTM as mentioned by hotels.com) but they have the same itemized laundry service as every other hotel (expensive). Property:Equipped with a generator for frequent power outages. Internet is good (except on the roof top) and fast. Seems like when power shortage happens, certain breakers pop, leaving you unable to charge devices in the room. When mentioned, they come back to life a little after but this happened only 1x out of about 5-6 outages in 2 days. A bit overpriced when compared to a nicer hotel we stayed at a week ago just nearby.

Conveniently located in central Thamel but in a quiet location. Venture around the hustle and bustle of Thamel throughout the day and come back to the quietish rooms in Himalayan Ghar to sleep in comfortable beds at night. Friendly and attentive staffs. We extended 3 more nights on top of our 14 nights we had initially booked. Overall we had a great experience staying here. We will definately be back.

Himalayan Ghar is a quiet place away from the busy, loud, vibrant streets in Thamel, Kathmandu. The manager Krishna was outstanding and very helpful while we stayed for 9 nights, Krishna organised interesting tours and comfy transport and made sure we understood (my wife is Deaf) and were safe and looked after. We really felt in good hands. The other staff we met during our stay also deserve a compliment, such as Manish, Buddha, Sonit, Sandip, Ayush and Ajit. Their warm smiles and welcome make all the difference. I am sorry I forgot the names of the lovely female staff. Josje and Flip New Zealand

We booked Himalayan ghar for 4 nights based on the reviews. I must say it was more than worth it. It’s located in the heart of Thamel area close to a lot of landmarks. Lots of restaurants close by. I was in touch with the hotel before I arrived with Mr Krishna Giri, its manager. He was extremely good with communicating back promptly and answered all my queries regarding local trips, must-do and must-see activities and places. This made it easy for us to plan our days in Kathmandu well in advance. we were made to feel very welcome once we arrived. From there on, Mr. Krishna was our go-to man. He was extremely polite, informative and helpful. He suggested some very good restaurants, places to visit and experiences in Kathmandu. He was only a message or phone call away to get any information you wanted. He even lent us his our own personal money when we were a little short of Nepali rupees for the zip line experience. That goes to show the extent of how welcoming and hospitable host he was. He arranged local trips for us with great ease. In all we had a wonderful stay at Himalayan ghar and would definitely come back here if I got another chance. I would definitely recommend Himalayan ghar for its location, great friendly staff and homely stay 😊

Everything was perfect. Staff very helpful and friendly. Specially Sonit Khatri, Sreesty Chettri and all Kitchen Staff. Very clean, hot water for shower and AC.

We had a great time staying at Himalayan Ghar. Staffs were exceptional as they were all very friendly and hospitable. Had a little issue at the very start of our stay but the manager Krishna dealt with it promptly to ensure all our requirements were met. Communication was top notch throughout our stay. It's in a nice quaint cul de sac away from the hustle and bustle yet stones throw away from the main Thamel centre which makes it ideal for solo, group or people travelling with their families. Housekeeping was attended as per your requirement by two lovely ladies who were always so friendly. Kitchen staffs were very attentive and anything we ordered were delightful. We also found it to be helpful to order our breakfast 10-15 mins beforehand to give the staffs enough time to prepare. Breakfast was served at the roofspace where you could enjoy cup of coffee along with fruits, yogurt, toasts, banana bread etc accompanied by the view of the picturesque mountains whilst you wait for your main breakfast. Also, the front desk staffs were every so friendly and were always there to meet and greet everytime you left the hotel or came back to the hotel. Overall, we had a lovely time staying here and will definately be back. Thank you to the whole team for the great service.

The only thing was the sofas in the apartment were very small and uncomfortable specially if you come here with young kids and are wanting to enjoy a drinks or two whilst sitting on the sofa to unwind once your kids are asleep. An upgrade to a better and more comfier sofas could do a great deal of wonder to this fabolous place.
