The Gem 💎 Of Thimpu

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 13 Nov 2024
As soon as we enter the Aura is so Positive. Can feel flowing through the staff. They were very warm and welcoming. No wonder the standards are above 4star hotel category should be rated 5 star. It's truly a Gem of Bhutan tourism. The food is also very good.

We stayed at The Pema for our first 2 nights in Thimphu. And I must say it was the best hotel stay throughout our trip in Bhutan. Very nice welcome/greeting. Staff was very attentive and accommodating, even offered to open the Spa in the middle of the night when hot water delayed in our room. Very clean and nice views.
The dinner from the Bistro and morning breakfast buffet were superb. Food taste and presentation are up to par to NYC restaurants’.
The honey gift was clutch for my sore throat!

Kuzuzangpola Ms. Amy,

Thank you beyond the sky and earth for your most encouraging review, and for taking the time to post photos as well. One of our core principles here at The Pema is to support the local community and enterprising social entrepreneurs; and ever since the pandemic, our motto has been “Together We Grow, Together We Can.” It delights us that the small stories featured in and around The Pema gave you a little glimpse into our Kingdom and people.

Thank you immensely for supporting Bhutan’s tourism policy as we are at a crucial juncture of our history and development.

As foodies ourselves, it also thrilled our team to know that you enjoyed our food – we still are very much a work in progress and hope to keep innovating in all facets of our service.

We hope you shall visit us again soon and the next time you do, we hope to have an exciting new menu in store!


Kadringche la,
Hem Monger

Love this hotel. We had a comfortable suite with a sitting area looking out over the valley. The best part of this hotel however is the staff. They are WONDERFUL. It was my husband’s birthday and they decorated the room and made him a card. It was so great. Food is also good. Definitely recommend.

We stayed there 2 nights and absolutely loved it! Great hospitality and service from all the staff. Everyone speaks English really well. The room was spacious and comfortable. We also got some local gifts! The breakfast was a la carte. Dinner has so many cuisines and options to choose from. All tasted amazing.

Highly recommend for a fantastic stay in Thimphu!
