Find hotels in Dhulikhel

This property spanning around 22 acres in the most perfect location outside of Kathmandu pampers all of the senses from the visual to the sublime. The staff is outstanding, the rooms encompass gorgeous views, and the food is some of the best in the world. Activities abound like a hike to the local farm, yoga, meditation, painting, spa, Pottery, or just lounging in one of the multiple forest sitting areas. Service and amenities are 5 star, this was one of the best stays we've discovered around the world. this will remain one of our greatest memories of travel.

Located 2 klm away from Dhulikhel village, practically in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do, esp after dark, except have dinner or a drink at the hotel wich were pretty adequate. Breakfast would finish at 9 am but when I got there at 08:50 the buffet was already gone, so they just served me some toasts. Friendly staff with basic english, they didn't have my reservation, they just stared at the voucher and no computer at the reception at all...They didnt even have my emails that I arranged transportation to go back to the airport and they only offered a taxi in an outrageous price as there are no taxis in the area, so I had to take the local bus! The room was spacious with great view but the matress and the pillows were so hard like sleeping on the floor so I didnt sleep at all and had a strong head and back ache in the morning. In general not a 3 star hotel by western standards at all but quite decent for nepali standards...

My partner and I enjoyed the peacefulness of the hotel and its unique setting high on a hilltop overlooking the Kathmandu valley in the shadow of a Hindu statue. The pool area was nice but staff were needed to access it and then we were locked in; a little strange and inconvenient. The restaurant was an overall poor experience. We had one very pleasant waiter who was both attentive and helpful with great English skills. The restaurant itself is nice in its decor but has several issues. Many items from the menu were not available, most importantly espresso coffee drinks. We were told the menu was new; in my experience you should not roll out a new menu until you are ready for it. Breakfast was included with the room, but my partner ordered the Indian breakfast all 3 mornings and got a very different meal each day. Only the first morning was it both correct and appetizing. Each night the restaurant called our room at around 6:30pm to ask us if we would be coming in for dinner. I found this strange, intrusive and poor business behavior. Upon checking in we were not made aware of any special reservation policies or unusual hours of operation (I generally prefer to dine around 8pm). I have never heard of a hotel bothering their guests like this before in regards to their dinning plans. Our best meal experiences were off property at the small local establishments on the street outside the hotel. The spa was also not to our liking, but that may be due to cultural differences (I do not recommend if you are used to a western massage). We both went for a 45min therapeutic massage and 15 steam. The massages were both unenjoyable due to excessive oil and no actual massaging or pressure applied, simply fast moving hands rubbing the oil around. The massage rooms were cold and uninviting and we had to ask to be covered up. The steam was OK but just wanted to shower off the massage oil.

The Dhulikhel mountain resort is a beautiful hotel surrounded with flowers, just fantastic. We loved the terrace restaurant and enjoyed the nice view from our room, in fact a small lovely bungalow. The location is nice but the place is absolutely not recommended if you don't have organised transport. You are stuck there as there is no service provided by the hotel. The management was not helpful at all when we were leaving and finally the solution was to ask the next hotel to send a car to fetch us. There were no means of transport to visit the Dhulikel a few miles away.

We spent a long weekend at the Namo Buddha Resort. The location is great: in the middle of a forest, 25 minutes walking distance from the Namo Buddha Monastry, 1.5 hours from Dulikhel and with plenty of opportunity to do short as well as long hiking trips. The accommodation is basic, but very homely and quiet. The food is great, the staff is great and you can choose to spend time alone and mediate or socialize in the well-stocked restaurant/bar.

We had some difficulties to locate the hotel on our arrival to Dhulikhel, We finally found it and when we arrived to check-in, there was nobody at the front desk, and the lobby looked like a abandonned house. We called for someone and waited for almost 10 minutes. We decided to have a look upstairs as someone was answering when we called, but nobody came to welcome us. When we finally got our key, we had the surprise to see that it was a twin room, and not a double room, as specified in the room description. We asked for a double room, but we were told that that was a double room and they didn't have a big double bed. The owner was not very friendly and we even heard him yelling at some guest because they didn't like their room and wanted to check-out. The room itself was ok. Nothing special about it, the paint was wearing off and some cables and wires were just hanging on the walls. When we wanted to check-out, there was nobody in the entire hotel, and we looked for omeone everywhere, but the entire place was empty. I would recommand this hotel at all. It is overpriced for what you get, and most of all, the welcoming and the owner were very unpleasant, and even scary.

The food we had here is the one of the best throughout our whole Nepal trip. We tried their food the day we arrived, and had every single meal in Dhulikhel here. Would travel back here just for the food. The rooms are great, with very helpful and friendly stuff. Location is great - walking distances from the bus stop from Kathmandu, not far from Dhulikhel town, and the hike to Kali Temple / Golden Buddha.
