Terrible bed... never stay here if ur a couple. 2 seperate mattress with 2 seperate beds made into king bed, it keeps seperating at night very uncomfortable.
Sitting on the corner off the main road in Thimphu is this gem. This was the first time staying in Thimphu and if I ever get the chance to go back; I will be staying here!

Good hotel, but little lax attitude of the staff
I booked a deluxe room for 6 nights for 3 members. So I needed an extra bed. Through expedia I had paid for 3 members and the extra bed also. On checking in I was given a room with an extra bed - however the room was quite small. I guess they might have given me a standard room instead of deluxe room. The main idea of choosing the deluxe room was that it would be spacious, however this was not the case. With the extra bed there was hardly any space to move around. On complaining they said they will change the room - but somehow kept pushing it and did not give me a different room.
Another issue was that the blankets all had spilled coffee and other stains. This needs to be improved.
The positives were the staff ensured that 3 towels were placed daily and 3 water bottles. Compare this to other hotels where if you have one extra person you need to request for these everyday. The location of the hotel is also good. It is at the central location. Yes dogs bark a lot in the nights - but since we are used to it in our place also - it did not disturb us.
The rates for breakfast extra are very high and hence we were forced to have breakfast outside.
Overall an ok place. Seems a bit costly for the price. I felt cheated as I was given a small room.
