Fairly average tourist digs. Internet, as usual, is intermittent. Most rooms have a nice view of the adjacent river. Beds are comfortable. Food is also standard Bhutanese fare. Rooms are clean with large bathrooms and an in-room safe. Local dogs were in classic form after dark, followed by about 5 million roosters shortly before dawn. Also, our balcony door blew... More

On reading some of the reviews, we were a little cautious. With accounts of scant WiFi (Shock!) and service moving at Bhutanese speed (Horror!) we were worried we'd have the first real blight on our trip here. It has turned out to do, as they say "what it says on the can." This is a three star hotel and has... More

We stayed here for 2 nights, then another night because of itinerary change. We were very happy to return. The food was as good as any other hotel we had stayed in as well a lot more variety for breakfast. Has WiFi but is a bit hit and miss, you can always use the computer for free. Both rooms had...

Our room was large, but felt dark and dingy. It had a large balcony with a view overlooking the river and city. There was no WiFi. The grounds were well kept and manicured. The food in the restaurant was satisfactory. There were no barking dogs.

The average rooms are plain and basic. The hotel bar is a nice place to relax and offers a great vantage point of the river below. There is nothing interesting about the food and nothing much to say rates this hotel a resort.

We stayed here - thankfully - for only one night in September 2012. We had a corner room on the top floor with a little balcony overlooking the river - but with only one chair. Our shabby room had filthy carpets, beaten up furniture and was permeated with the smell of bird droppings from the noisy and amorous flock of... More

During my trip to Bhutan we had a night's stay at Phunaka and we could not get our rooms in the preferred hotel. So we were recommended Dragon's nest for our stay. Good things first - Location. The hotel is located very close to Phunaka and located on the bank of the river. This brings a lovely breeze through the... More

Nice location with great views over the river. We stayed for two nights and were due to return for another night later in the trip but changed to another hotel due to the poor service. The rooms were adequate but we had problems with hot water, electricity and cleaning of room. Reception staff did not really seem interested or show... More

Very nice location for this hotel, not far from Punakha (about 30 minute drive) and the Wangdue Phodrang Dzong is very closed, but unfortunately recently destroyed by the fire. All our rooms had a very nice view of the river and the little garden. I spent some time sitting on the balcony. Rooms are big and the bathroom is spacious.... More

We weren't originally supposed to stay here, but had to alter our itinerary when a rock slide prevented us from traveling to Trongsa. This hotel is relatively large and has views of the river, with fairly nice gardens inbetween. The rooms were large, but when we checked in I discovered several lights didn't work, nor did the portable heater. I... More
