When we first arrived at the front door to the hotel I was not so sure about the hotel. The doorman then opened the front entrance door and I entered a little oasis in the middle of a busy crowded street. Once you step through the front door to the hotel you are transported back in time. You enter into... More

Dwarika is a unique hotel for travellers who are not concerned about the price. Not expensive by international standards but top end(and worth it!!!)by Nepal standards. Dwarika is by no means centrally located, it is 15 minutes from the airport, but longer to the central areas such as Thamel and is dependant on the state of the traffic which can... More

This used to be an amazing place and it is still very good but you can see it becoming a victim of its own success. It is now building more and more rooms and becoming bigger and more impersonal which is a great pity. Still, it is the best place to stay in Kathmandu but make sure you request a... More

I traveled to Kathmandu and the Dwarika's Hotel for a quick work visit in mid January 2012. While somewhat off season with the cooler temperatures the service and comfort of the hotel was top notch. There is a reason that this is a World Heritage Site and the work done by the former founder to find and preserve the historic... More

Dwarika's Hotel, the "Secret of Kathmandu", is one of the most aesthetically and culturally significant places of its kind I have ever had the privilege of experiencing. Every brick used in its construction was hand made in Nepal, and every window and doorway is unique. All are patterned after traditional Nepali architectural patterns, and some are originals, saved from other... More

This is a heritage hotel and very relaxing just like a resort. With unbelievably spacious rooms with equally spacious bathrooms Dwarika was a great place. Rooms are so very comfortable and the atmosphere is so calm it felt truly relaxing. The poolside area is perfect with a bar that is huge with seating, pool tables and a warm cozy feel.... More

This hotel is the nicest in all of Nepal. It's not in Thamel, where a lot of tourists stay, but it's close to the airport which was convenient, and frankly, Thamel is a bit hard to navigate with its windy roads and overwhelmingly crowded at times. If you're a tourist new to Kathmandu, you'll probably swing by Thamel like we... More

In the chaotic, crowded city that is Kathmandu, Dwarika's is an oasis of calm. Driving to the hotel from the airport is truly an experience as there is no such thing as right of way there. If they think they can get past your taxi/bus, they will drive into oncoming traffic to do it. But once you pull in through... More
