Druk Hotel has excellent location at Clock Tower Square, the epicenter of Thimphu, close to everything. The recently renovated rooms are beautiful and have every amenity, though the older rooms are pretty good as well. Hotel can now compete with Taj Tashi, but at fraction of the price. Staff are friendly, efficient and helpful. Breakfast could be better, (more options,... More

The hotel is being renovated, and the newly appointed rooms are delightful, perhaps even dramatic. Others in our group got older rooms and were not as pleased as we were. A sign on our large windows warned us not to open them because of the bees' nest outside. (It was huge!) Bhutan is a Buddhist country, after all, and all... More

After a week in Bhutan where we 'calibrated' our expectations for hotels to the point where a decent meal and hot water were a welcome treat, we came upon the Druk. Hallelujah! How is it that this hotel is only rated #4 in Thimphu? Not for long, we bet! The 35 refurbished rooms (red, gold and green) are all the... More

The Hotel Manager Mr. Dilu Giri really tries to make you feel at home. He helps everywhere. If your iPhone or laptop has to be connected to the wifi or if you would like to read a book about buddhism (free issue in every room!). He is also keen to learn how things can even be more improved. The rooms,... More

Great location, recent renovation is obvious. Some continuing but should be done soon. Current renovation doesn't affect guest rooms. Door locking is odd. You have to hold the door shut in order to lock it on the way out. Attentive service in the restaurant. More

Dear Guest Thank You for your review. Concerning the door we had automatic doors earlier but had to change it as most of the guest still felt comfortable and safe when they locked the door them self instead of auto lock. We also removed the door closer as guest used to pull the door to close instead of waiting for... More

You can walk to everything in downtown. We had a corner room with great light. Rooms are all remodeled. Bath was great with separate tub and shower and enclosed toilet area. Can watch big screen TV from tub. Great lighting for reading. Noise from dogs on street cannot be avoided. Very high quality linens and bedding. More

The three days in Thimphu were amongst the best in my life. And when there is such a bias in an opinion, small shortcomings in hotels and restaurants dont take away anything from the overall expereince. Druk is right in the middle of the town. The restaurant is just about OK but the smaller eateries around the place are delightful.... More

My just completed a six day stay at the Druk. I was very pleased with the staff and the facility. I had a corner room that looked out over the National Stadium. The king sized bed was comfortable. The bathroom was spacious. My one quibble was with the computer desk. I would have preferred more surface area to work on.... More
