I haven't stayed in any other hotels in Thimphu but just going around three town its quite clear that this is probably the hotel with the best view in town. All rooms get the view of the river and the entire city of Thimphu nestled below the massive mountains. Rooms are decently big but if you are with kids make... More

This was the largest, most touristy hotel that we encountered during our 10 day trip to Bhutan. Having said that, however, it was perfectly acceptable and only a short walk or cab ride to the center of Thimphu. The room itself, which faced the center of town, was fine, and the breakfasts, while not outstanding, were perfectly acceptable. All in... More

This was booked by our travel agent. Although it looks impressive from the outside, from the inside it needs a bit of work. The service is OK, did not seem too enthusiastic. The breakfast was below average. The location is good as it overlooks the river and city of Thimphu.

My visit to this hotel was around 10 years back but I thought I should go ahead and write about it. Simply because it deserves it. First, the location. I doubt whether there is any better located hotel in Thimpu. You get a complete view of the entire capital, also overlooking the river. The river basically separates the town from... More

We stayed at the hotel for a number of nights while sightseeing around Thimphu. The room was on the second floor and had a great view over the city. Our room (#202) was a suite with a double bed and bedroom area, a lounge area, big bathroom, a large terrace and then a separate dining area and lounge area if... More

My room was on the third floor and had a balcony with seating for two. The... More

From the outside, the hotel looks quite nice. Even the lobby looks all right. But, as soon as you leave the lobby, it's clear that the hotel is in need of a good renovation. For starters, there is no elevator so if you have a lot of bags and you get a room on the third floor or higher, it'll... More
