“A 'Western' Feel in Bhutan”

Druk Hotel Thimphu

4 of 5 stars
Taipei, Taiwan
Apr 18, 2007

We spent 11 days in Bhutan and the Druk Hotel was by far the most 'western' of the hotels. It had cable TV, a nice warm shower, internet access, and wine available at dinner. A Hyatt it is not but it was a nice change from the other hotels in Bhutan, although we actually really liked the more 'rustic' nature of our hotels in other towns. The hotel takes VISA as well as cash but if you want to use your VISA you need to use it between 9:30 am and 6:00 pm, when the bank opens.
They also have a separate a-la-carte menu vs the traditional buffet meals in the Bhutan hotels. We did not try it we saw a lot of others that did and it looked good.

“Loved the Place”

Druk Hotel Thimphu

Dec 26, 2006
2/2 found this review helpful

I do not fully agree with sleepaway for the comments. Yes a renovation is required but the Hotel is amazing. The staffs are the best. Their wireless internet is really good. Food is perhaps the best. It is worth every penny. And the best part of this hotel is the personal touch you get from the upper level Management to the lower level Management staffs. The location is really good. BUT IT IS BETTER TO BRING EAR PLUGS.

“Surely there is a better choice than the Druk.”

Druk Hotel Thimphu

1 of 5 stars
durango, colorado

The owner of this well-worn and shabby property is building a much grander hotel in Thimphu and may be allowing this property to run down as a cash cow. It was a grubby and unpleasant place for two stays on our recent tour of Bhutan. On arrival for the second, 2-night stay, our room was littered with shopping bags and candy wrappers and crumbs left by a previous occupant. The food was adequate but no better than any place else. We were awakened every night by the bands of stray dogs who roam the streets of Thimphu all night, barking and howling. Surely there is a better option than this place.

“even better”

Druk Hotel Thimphu

5 of 5 stars
Reggio Emilia, Italy

5/5 found this review helpful

Druk Hotel is even better then before. I stayed there five years ago, and went back now. The service is good bhutanese service, the rooms are clean, staff is quite open to strange requests. Plus the hotel is in the super centre of the city at a walking distance from anything you might want at the last minute and the wireless connection is working SUPER. I am definitely going to go back if I can.

“Excellent hotel in the centre of Thimphu”

Druk Hotel Thimphu

5 of 5 stars
Amsterdam, Holland
Oct 29, 2005
13/13 found this review helpful

Although afraid to stay in this hotel after reading the only review, I was very surprised when we arrived. The lobby is clean and nice, the staff very helpful. The rooms were excellent, clean, equipped with all a guest dreames of. The breakfast was one of the better ones we had, with a very large choice of delicious dishes, prepared for every taste.
The location is right in the centre of the town and near shops, very nice just to take a walk around. I would definitely recommend this hotel, and would like to stay there in the future.
