The hotel bills itself as a boutique hotels and triggers expectations it can not meet. It's just a normal hotel in the center of Thimpu. The staff is not attentive at all and did not care whether hotel guests were OK after an earthquake one night. The Indian food is enjoyable. Breakfast and local food are uneatable. There are other...

This is a cute and well run hotel. The rooms are good size, clean, and renovated, not run-down. I was here for 2 nights in Jan 2012, and in both cases, the room heaters were very effective. The wifi is solid, unless you get a room on the 3rd floor - the second time, my room was on the 3rd... More

The Jumolhari Hotel claims to be a "boutique hotel." If you come from the States or Europe, you probably have a very clear idea of what a boutique hotel is. This is not a boutique hotel. This is the equivalent of staying in a really old, not very nice Holiday Inn Express or average-grade motel. There's nothing unique or charming... More

Best described as a scruffy Premier Inn. We had a 'de-luxe' room - it was small, featureless, and generally scruffy but not dirty, no way was it 'de-luxe'. The window overlooked a piece of trash laden waste land which was the meeting place for stray barking dogs from about 11:00pm! The food was dreadful - I ordered Steak Chasseur was... More

This hotel benefits from a central location just off clock tower square, providing a great opportunity for wandering the streets of Thimphu. The rooms are on the small size, but had all necessary amenities. Like a previous reviewer our room smelled of smoking; however it was clean. The staff were very friendly and the lady on reception was able to... More

The room we had was small, cramped in fact, darkly lit, and old, but clean. The beds were good. The hotel staff was super friendly, though did not know much. The restaurant is OK, though far below the very positive words you find in some of the guidebooks. Don't expect a very holiday-like environment, but an efficient stay in the... More

Average hotel in most regards, though has a good central location. Had to change rooms as the first one had a very strong smoke smell despite smoking being officially banned in Bhutan! The rooms were comfortable and had all I needed. I ate a couple of continental food meals and these were good. Breakfast was poor, whether cereal, toast or... More

The hotel has a great location on the high street with shops in the vicinity.The room is nice though the height of the ceiling in the top floor room that we were given is rather low.Please be also prepared to trudge up 3 floors with no elevator if you have a room on the higher floor.The breakfast is good and...

This hotel is within walking distance of the city center. Helpful staff; simple breakfast; comfortable beds; hair dryers in rooms; internet in business center; probably the best hotel in Bhutan. Really enjoyed my stay. More

Stayed in November '10. A modern hotel located in central Thimpu - rooms were excellent - very comfortable, clean, tidy decoration, TV, comfy bed, clean bathroom & heater available - no complaints with the room. The restaurant, though looking good, disappoints with the food - poor selection, not too appetizing & generally a let down for what is a nice... More
