What guests think

Across these reviews, The Dwarika's is praised as a tranquil, heritage-rich oasis in Kathmandu with exceptional, warm service and spacious, traditionally styled rooms, plus standout spa, pool and gym facilities that help guests relax after city explorations.

Travellers highlight the living-museum Newari architecture, peaceful courtyards and gardens, and handy access to the airport while being away from Thamel’s bustle. On-site dining, including a noted Nepali restaurant and generous breakfasts, earns frequent praise. Downsides are rare but include one report of nighttime dog noise and daytime works, a pool closing at 5 pm, and an underwhelming dinner. Expect a serene, culturally immersive stay with attentive hospitality.

Truly a gem - remarkable staff, wonderful food, and perfect amenities. I was in a suite - it was perfect for my stay. I could not be happier - after hiking in Bhutan (also wonderful in a different way) for days, this was such a relaxing delight!

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.

The Dwarika is an oasis. The spa and gym facilities are out of this world. It is a living cultural museum with wood carvings and art and traditional but fancy local cuisine. It was exactly what I needed after the Everest Marathon, a place to detox and recover. Even the air is better and sweeter in the hotel. It isn’t near Thamel but that is why it is peaceful. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else. It isn’t the luxury, it is the support of Nepali and Newari traditions that put it over the top. PS The basil lemonade is addictive PPS The lady who manages the treatment center is a fourth generation healer and she has an incredible nasya recipe for your sinuses and lungs PPS Try a game of Tigers and Goats

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.

Exceptional service. Staff are helpful and even brought a complimentary cake to celebrate my friend’s birthday. The Taran restaurant is excellent for breakfast, so many options and selections for foods! However, the dinner items were underwhelming. Also, the door to the kitchen is noisy and distracting when dining. Overall, it was a wonderful stay in well maintained living museum to conveniently get around.

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.
