Having read all of the previous 20 reviews, I'll try to not repeat too many points or observations. Overall, my two stays at the Dwarika's over the past 10 days were very positive. One can only take so much of the hustle and bustle and hawking and smoke and traffic of vibrant Kathmandu before yearning for a beautiful and peaceful... more

Words cannot explain how great this place is. I have travelled a lot but this place is my number 1! The restraunt even serves a 22 course meal....not that I could manage it, but all the food was top-notch. Service is flwaless and the building...well its clear why its a world heritage site. more

The Dwarikas in Kathmandu is a great hotel in Kathmandu, only a few minutes drive from the airport. Everything about this hotel is lovely, the staff is extremely helpful, our room (standard room as far as we know) was huge - more like an apartment than a hotel room, shower, bath, two sinks and a large mirror, large beedroom and... more

I stayed here 2 weekends ago as my base for a mini escape from HK (Dragonair then had fri night flights that left HK for Kathmandu & returned Sunday midnight to HK for a 5 am arrival on Mon morning) Dwarika is only 5 minutes away from the airport so being able to go to bed quickly after one's flight... more

Dwarika Hotel: an oasis in a sea of orgranized chaos and humanity outside. The hotel is a short distance away from the airport. However, it is located (15-30 minute taxi ride) outside of the main Kathmandu valley shopping and sightseeing areas. All the services and amenities that you would expect from a 5 star hotel are available. The room is... more

Kathmandu is an incredibly noisy place but as you walk through the entrance to Dwarikas, it's like a oasis of calm. The staff are most welcoming and most speak excellent English. We found the service at the outside restaurant to be rather slow but the food was good. The Nepalese restaurant is absolutely fabulous - a real treat! Our only... more

We stayed here one night before leaving Nepal. Its a shame we could not get in for the beginning of the holiday because it was such a lovely place. Our room was huge with windows on 3 sides and a big bathroom. The hotel was interesting, lots of wood, carvings, interesting furniture and history. The staff were helpful and attentive.... more

This hotel is incredible and is the best we have ever stayed at. There may be better ones, but we haven't found them! Set in a typical Kathmandu side street, it doesn't look particularly special until you go through the (very small) entrance and then it's like entering a different world. The architecture is unique in classic Newari style and... more

A cultural experience and, on a more basic level, the best (discreet) bar in the city. The entire hotel is a trip into the past, the architecture using old Newari timber carving throughout. The rooms are all exceptionally large (and accordingly pricey by Nepalese standards) and the service and food are generally good by international standards, which is unusual in... more
