With travelling rules and regulations in Bhutan it may be difficult to avoid this hotel yet perhaps you may put special request to your agent to stay elsewhere.... The hotel is centrally located and this is just about one benefit of staying there. Under-trained and rather unhelpful staff were in stark contrast to other venues we stayed at during our... More

Very unhelpful staff who seemed to hang around in 'chewing-gum gangs' and were more interested in applying make-up behind the main desk or checking their mobile phones rather than helping guests. Food was very bland and tablecloths were never clean. The bar ran out of beer and a well-known American fizzy drink and you'll need Buddha on your side if... More

After our reserved room at the Hotel Dragon Roots got re-reserved for someone else, we were redirected here and were pleasantly surprised to find it is arguably a much better place to stay. The rooms are smaller than the Dragon Roots but cozy and the bathrooms have new shiny hardware with plenty of hot water. The staff was very helpful,... More

I had reached Thimphu at 830 in the evening. I was cold, wet and tired after riding my motorbike for nearly 12 hours from Siliguri (India) in heavy monsoon rain. I did not have the energy to look around much and I checked into Hotel Wangchuck as the room was cosy and warm, which is what I needed after the... More

Spent one night here with a friend and I won't be back; there was no discount for the constant construction noise in the building, the bath/shower water never got hot enough, no one had a clue on how to solve their wireless problem, and the food was nothing special. More

We had reached Thimpu quite late at night . I drove myself , got stuck in a landslide and reached Thimphu at 2 o'clock in the night. Some cops directed us to Wangchuk , the person at the desk welcomed us at that unearthly hour. The rooms were cosy , even though the hotel was right across the street ,... More

As this was my first stay, had someone else reserve it for me - not the best idea... The visit was out-of-season which meant the price was low ~$40, and also that there were better alternatives. All in all you get what you pay for: the hotel is clean and safe, and the room was adaquate. On the flip side:... More

This was our first visit to Thimpu. The entire country is all of nature..the air is so refreshing that you always feel good. We stayed in Thimpu at this hotel and I think this is the best budget hotel in Thimpu. The rooms are very clean and the location is great. The food spread is though limited but it is... More
