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.

Oasis of calm amidst chaotic Kathmandu
Great time and amazing staff. Crazy out on the street but a courtyard oasis once inside the hotel. Not in Thamel where so many hotels which for us was a big plus. Cheap and easy to get around in taxis. Kathmandu's most outstanding hotel by far.

An Oasis of Calm
Dwarika’s is the perfect oasis of quiet, good taste, and a wonderful swimming pool (which unfortunately closes at 5pm). We enjoyed strolling on the street outside to some shops and simple, cheap restaurants for some Kathmandu experiences.

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.
