This was the first time staying in Thimphu and if I ever get the chance to go back; I will be staying here! ##### Josh Stayed 2 nights in May 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Satyanath, Bangalore 12 Jun 2018 #### 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. ##### Satyanath Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Europe Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarajevo-Hotels-Europe-Hotel.h5055689.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Marlow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marlow-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d5638-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Downtown Camper by Scandic](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockholm-Hotels-Downtown-Camper-By-Scandic.h518027.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Panaji](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Panaji-Hotels.d6047166.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Side Harbor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Side-Harbor-Hotels.0-l6334664-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Luccombe Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shanklin-Hotels-Luccombe-Hall-Country-House-Hotel.h2394343.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bedford Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tavistock-Hotels-The-Bedford-Hotel.h477901.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Welcome-To-Fabulous-Las-Vegas-Sign-Hotels.0-l6232224-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Budhwar Peth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budhwar-Peth-Pune-Hotels.0-n553248635976007344-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Pool in Bologna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-Hotels-With-Pool.0-0-d621-tHotelswithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The St. Regis Bali Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nusa-Dua-Hotels-The-St-Regis-Bali-Resort.h2076186.Hotel-Information) > > [A very French apartment : you will know you are in France !](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lyon-Hotels-A-Very-French-Apartment-You-Will-Know-You-Are-In-France.h33599912.Hotel-Information) > > [Stay Together Barcelona Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Stay-Together-Barcelona-Apartments.h10253290.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Up-Helly-Aa Exhibition](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Up-Helly-Aa-Exhibition-Hotels.0-l553248621533025383-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Chongqing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chongqing-Hotels.d6140323.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Seattle (SEA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/sea/newcastle-to-seattle) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Oklahoma City (OKC)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/okc/manchester-to-oklahoma-city) > > [Flights from Dublin (DUB) to Manchester (MAN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dub/man/dublin-to-manchester) > > [Flights from Addis Ababa (ADD) to Asmara (ASM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/add/asm/addis-ababa-to-asmara) > > [Virgin Atlantic London (LHR) to Tel Aviv (TLV) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/virgin-atlantic-from-heathrow-to-ben-gurion/vs/lhr/tlv) > > [Flights from Paris (CDG) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/cdg/nrt/paris-to-tokyo) ### Cars > [Car hire near Coral Bay Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Coral-Bay-Beach.d6061833.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Gerani](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Gerani.d6278381.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [New Zealand](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/ski-holidays/133/New-Zealand) > > [Camden Lock Market](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Camden-Lock-Market-Camden.d553248621558115122.Attraction) > > [Gale Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gale-Beach-Algarve.d6118642.Attraction) > > [Wellington Barracks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wellington-Barracks-London-City-Centre.d553248621561941941.Attraction)
