During my recent five-day trip to Bhutan, I had a wonderful stay at this hotel located right in the heart of the city. The amenities offered, including a nice gym and a hearty breakfast, made for a very enjoyable experience. The staff members were incredibly welcoming and even spoke Nepali, which reminded me of home. Unfortunately, the barking dogs outside at night did interrupt the sleep a bit, but overall, I highly recommend this hotel for anyone traveling to Thimphu.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The staff was warm and welcoming right from the moment I arrived, which made me feel at home. The room was spacious and offered a nice view of Thimpu, but the area outside the hotel isn't very walkable, and noise from the nearby wooden factory started early in the morning. The dining options were good with decent buffets for breakfast and dinner, but the gym could use some improvement. Overall, the experience was enjoyable, especially with the good food and friendly atmosphere.
