The Dwarika's

The architecture and their mission to save the cultural heritage of Nepal. It's such a beautiful oasis in the center of the chaotic city.

That we only got to stay one night.

People, Location and Food

Rooms need maintenance and care

unique architecture, welcoming and professional staff, excellent food options

I have stayed at hundreds of hotels and resorts around the world and believe it or not, Dwarika’s is my favorite, one of the best! I love the combination of authentic Himalayan style and decor, lush plant life, and modern touches. I feel like royalty staying at this peaceful oasis in the city. It is truly a magical sanctuary, you don’t feel like you are in the middle of the city. The food is outstanding, truly excellent, and the service is top-notch. I love that the rooms come stocked with fruit, snacks, and gourmet tea. Staying here is a must have experience!

Everything was perfect

We celebrated our 15-year anniversary at The Dwarika's Hotel in Nepal, and the experience was truly unforgettable. The hospitality and service exceeded our expectations in every way.A special thank you to Adyut Neupane in the restaurant, whose service was above and beyond—attentive, thoughtful, and always had a touch of welcome and warm. We also want to recognize Ram Gajurel, one of the managers, who personally ensured we were well looked after.The entire staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. One of the highlights was the daily yoga sessions offered at the hotel. Practicing yoga in such a serene and sacred setting felt like reconnecting to our roots—truly grounding and revitalizing.We are deeply grateful for the experience and would definitely return. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a luxurious, soulful, and culturally rich stay in Kathmandu.The hotel made our 15-year anniversary truly unforgettable with exceptional service, attention to detail, and a peaceful, luxurious atmosphere.

Honestly, there wasn’t anything we didn’t like. If anything, we just wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy more of what the hotel had to offer.

Wonderful room, relaxing and great nights’ sleep after high altitude hiking. Staff delightful, we were very well looked after and felt at home. Glorious courtyards gardens are an oasis in a busy city, flowering trees, pots of seasonal blooms, scented climbers, birds. Arranged a guide to take us to Patan - excellent. Also arranged hotel transport from and to the airport.

We’re not used to smoking these days whilst dining - but staff were very helpful getting us outside tables away from a group of smokers. No smoking is allowed dining inside. The courtyard dining is a lovely area!

Everything was terrific: the design (preserving beautiful cultural heritage), extremely helpful and nice people, great food, pool area, spacious rooms, the whole atmosphere: calm and peaceful! Definitely recommend!!!

The staff is friendly and helpful. My luggage was delayed in Dubai and the staff followed up to ensure it was transferred on the next flight and delivered to the hotel prior to my departure the following day. It was my 5th stay at the hotel and the only place I stay when in Kathmandu.

Authentic design. Nice food (excluding Japanese). Good stuff. Highly recommended female spa master.

Soundproofing. To be honest, there is no soundproofing in the hotel rooms at all. Wooden windows don’t block any noise from the street. We changed 3 rooms treated to find quiet but everywhere experienced discomfort with sounds that came from outside.

A very warm welcome to an oasis of calm and peace in the bustling city. Walking distance to the centre to Durban Square (though taxis available), and very near the sacred site by the river. Staff always helpful - room absolutely wonderful! Gardens glorious and we enjoyed sitting outside for drinks and meals.

Beautifully decorated with a nice history of the property.

The staff the restaurants, the decor

Loved everything about the Dwarika. The room was beautiful, service outstanding and the food was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Dwarika

Nothing. Couldn’t ask for more

Hotel property was a gem----Classic old style, elegant, luxurious, beautiful, charming, and immaculately kept. A spacious and tranquil sanctuary in the Kathmandu city center. Entire hotel staff were attentive to our every need---made us feel like VIPs or honored guests throughout our 4 day stay. Our room was very large and comfortable. Multiple fine restaurants on property offered a wide variety of menu choices. Buffet breakfast was lavish in both variety and quality. Swimming pool was clean and beautiful, although we did not use it due to cool weather in February. Central Location was close to the Kathmandu airport and other attractions. Spa was most pleasant with courteous and helpful staff. Without being asked, the hotel staff presented a lovely surprise celebration and beautiful cake (baked by hotel kitchen) for my wife's birthday at our last dinner there. All in all, a wonderful experience for our time in Kathmandu. Highly recommend this hotel for any visit to Nepal.

Nothing comes to mind. Everything was perfect.

This was our second stay at Dwarika Hotel and we loved it as much as we did the first time. The hotels ambiance is amazing, we were upgraded to a beautiful big room. Staff is wonderful, restaurants are great. We will be back!

Authentic Nepalese decor and architecture, delicious cuisine, Very professional staff, courtyard bar setting, we wish we had a longer stay.

It’s getting to be too overpriced!

You have to get to know dwarika if you’re coming to Katmandú ! Little paradise and peace of mind in the midst of craziness of the city!!! We spend 4 nights here and would love to spend far more time!

Dwarika is a quiet, beautiful spot in the hectic city of Kathmandu. Its architecture is amazing— the original preserved architecture of the old city. All the staff is helpful, the rooms are lavish— Dwarika is worth every penny of its cost!

nothing…

The staff was unbelievably accommodating. The Junior suites were beautiful, and the dining room was excellent.

Location wasn't spectacular, but I was involved with organized tours, so it was ok.

Incredible service and design so much heritage and the grounds are beautiful

The hotel was able to get us into our room at 930am after our international flight into Nepal. It's a beautiful property, great staff, excellent breakfast. My wife and I joke about traveling to Kathmandu just to stay there. It's 5-10mins from the airport. There are a lot more cost effective options in Kathmandu, but if don't mind paying up, you won't be disappointed.

A longer stay or maybe some time at their country estate? We don't have a negative to share.
