We had a wonderful stay here, staff were fabulous and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the free yoga at 7am. Pricey hotel but worth it to get a feel for Nepalese culture

6/10 Good

Don’t stay here if you want a good nights rest . There was a dog barking all night and drilling and hammering during the day. What a nusaince and mistake to stay here and over priced. I spent over $1200 for three nights and got a better sleep at a $50 Hotel in Thamel.

We celebrated New Year’s Eve here. Stay at his hotel made our time more comfortable in Kathmandu. Staff was very nice and accommodating. Food was also good. They accommodated our request to transfer some parts of our stay to their resort in Dhulikhel which was also very nice. Dhulikhel resort although could not accommodate our request for late check out on last day as our flight was late in the evening and that is the only daily flight. That was the only bummer. We were unwell during our stay and could have done with extra rest on the last day before taking the long flight back home.

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is everything! I would live here if I could. First, the hotel itself is stunning. The founder set it up as a restoration project to save traditional Nepali wood carvings. Theyve used those items to build a gorgeous set of buildings around a courtyard. It's so peaceful compared to the area of Kathmandu right outside the doors, it's like stepping into another world. Second, the service is incredible. They upgraded us, gave a short tour of the hotel, and one staff member, Sumit, even taught us how to play the Nepali national board game. I mentioned that I wanted to buy coffee to take home and they sourced a bag for me so I wouldn't have to leave the hotel. The day I checked out I had several hours to kill - they arranged a room for me to freshen up in before I left for the airport. The experience was worth every penny, and I highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Kathmandu.

Mimi, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place is an oasis at the center of buzzing Kathmandu. Close proximity to the airport is a bonus. You can of course stay at the western chains but if you wish to immerse yourself in Nepalese culture while having the perks of a 4/5 star hotel, this is the place to be. Don’t forget to dine at the excellent Nepalese restaurant.

Situado en una calle con mucha actividad comercial, es un hotel con unas zonas comunes impresionantes, impecables, con estupenda piscina, buenos restaurantes (uno de ellos de cocina nepalí donde sirven menús degustación). Cuenta también con un servicio de spa que funciona muy bien. La habitación y el cuarto de baño eran grandes y bien surtidos. El personal es amabilísimo. El aeropuerto está a diez minutos en coche.

It’s hard to describe perfect. I’d have to really think hard to make up a fault. I’ve traveled a bit. I’ve never had a positive emotional response like my stay at Dwarika’s Hotel. If you’re a fan of history, architecture, culinary arts, music, dance, sports, customer service, etc. this is for you .

Tranquility with Amazing hospitality

From the moment we got in to the moment we left, you could not fault anything. The service was amazing, the room was phenomenal and a great choice of restaurants. I really loved the turned down service, knowing when your back from dinner everything is ready for you for bed. Recommend anyone going to Kathmandu to stay here.
