Hotel Ganesh Himal
Our pick for comfort on a budget is this well-run and friendly place, located a 10-minute walk southwest of Thamel – far enough to be out of range of the tiger-balm salesmen but close enough to restaurants for dinner...

Along the ridge from the World Peace Pagoda, this secluded hilltop guesthouse is set in a stone-fronted slate-roofed cottage with inspiring views over the lake and mountains...
North along Lazimpat, signposted down a secluded alley to the side of the Hotel Shangri-La, is this excellent find. The light and airy rooms are spotlessly clean, and have TV, carpet and nice home touches...
Bang in the beating heart of Thamel, this small backpacker place is a good option, and has free internet, a nice rooftop area and a convenient restaurant overlooking Thamel’s main drag...
In a secluded part of town, this relaxed place has a shady garden with a well-maintained lawn. Rooms in its cottages offer far better value than those in the modern pink building.

A mini-skyscraper of a place in the southern part of Lakeside, Hotel View Point has excellent mountain views, particularly from the 5th-floor terrace...
Family Peace House is good value but a little less on quality.
The real draw at this alleged five-star place is the large relaxing garden, with a small but nice pool; the rooms themselves are well overpriced unless you get a good deal. Try a High Lama cocktail at the cosy Lost Horizon Bar.
This place offers neat, clean rooms, but there’s a sad lack of garden, sitting areas or views, especially in the warrenlike back building, which has the cheaper rooms. Deluxe rooms are spacious but the hideous carpets are a serious style violation.
The well-run Fuji is popular with Japanese travellers and rooms are neat, quiet and spotlessly clean. Some rooms have a balcony and the sunny rooms on the rooftop are particularly spacious. Rooms with a bath tub cost an extra US$5...
Big rooms, bathtubs and balconies with some of the best mountain views in Lakeside make this one of the best choices in town. In a quiet side-street location, rooms are reasonably priced, with soft beds and furniture...
