Value for money is great, staff are helpful during stay and before for coordinating driver/guide. The setting in the forest is much nicer than staying in town. The only thing I felt was a let down were the pillow, too tall and hard so had to sleep without.

Spotless quiet rooms nearby to Tigers Nest. Kind friendly staff and great food served in the restaurant. A short taxi/car ride to the centre of Paro. Had a massage here after Tiger’s Nest hike, which was also excellent.
