World Heritage Hotel and Apartments

My week-long stay at the World Heritage Hotel and Apartments (Dwarika Chhen) was terrific. The property is very rustic with modern amenities. The staff is highly attentive. The breakfast was excellent. Sitting in the lobby at a large plate glass window looking out onto the busy street was a perfect way to watch the city go by from a quiet, comfortable spot. The hotel is very conveniently located off the corner of Kathmandu's Durbar Square and the wonderful early morning Asan fruit and vegetable market. There are loads of local tea and food spots to enjoy just out the door to the left. The more touristy Thamel area is an easy 10 minute walk. My deluxe double room (the one in the hotel's pictures online) was very spacious. The room has no AC or heat, but my trip in November had excellent weather (52 to 75 F) and I was extremely comfortable. The shower in the room was very hot and cleansing after a day of work and adventuring - just give it 5 minutes to bring the hot water to the tap. Go all the way upstairs and enjoy an incredible view over the Durbar Square area! The staff arranged for taxi's as needed and were able to make some recommendations for different items I was looking for. Be prepared for a classically built property with loads of character and charm - it was just what I wanted.

The deluxe room is attached to another room in the hotel through an interior french-style door. I had to secure the interior door on my own so people could not enter my room from the connecting room.

WHH has a fantastic location next to Durbar Square, although some travelers may prefer to be in Thamel. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly and the breakfasts are good. The room was large and comfortable and we slept well.

We weren’t able to get hot water for a shower when we were there but that may have been an issue of the timing and availability of hot water. The road to the hotel is narrow and very busy so allow for this in your timings.

This is an amazing place, especially if you like history: next to the Durbar, with a connecting door just behind the octagonal Krishna temple. An old Newari style house with courtyard and traditional locks on room doors. Hot water took a little while but everything worked fine, including wifi; drinking water was provided. Staff were very friendly and helpful -- thanks for a wonderful stay!

Nothing really.

The hotel location is very convenient；Its architecture is full of local characteristics；The overall environment is clean and hygienic；The hotel owner and waiters are enthusiastic and hospitable, and they also understand English and Chinese。

Occasional shortage of hot water supply

I loved everything! The staff, the location, the room, the restaurant were all brilliant! You'll be looked after every single day of your stay.

The fact I had to leave and keep travelling!

- very friendly people - perfect location for visiting historic places - very close to kumari - 5 min riksha ride to tamel - good restaurant - communication was excellent

- breakfast not included

Room was really big and I got one facing the internal courtyard,hence I had a very silent night.Which is very rare in Kathmandu-which is genuinly the city that never sleeps.

Nothing
