Detailed Reviews
The rooms were spotlessly clean and the linen fresh. Housekeeping staff doing a good job. Full marks to the restaurant team. Being the only vegetarian guests we were served with meals is our choice. Reception staff also very helpful. The only issue was the wi-fi and limited servings for tea coffee maker.

The staff is lovely! I especially enjoyed my meals. The staff in the restaurant (Yangdon, Jaena Rai, Tshoring Dechen and Choki Wangmo) all showed a special balance of friendly and respectful. I felt very well taken care of :). The hotel is simple and clean. A little noisy but this dies down around 11 pm. It is very central so you can walk to the memorial and take in the bustling commercial activity on the way.

This was our first exposure to a hotel in Bhutan. The entrance to the hotel was not so great and the frontage was not impressive. Once you enter the main foyer, the impression changes. An ornate reception desk, vast waiting area, wonderful hosts and caring staff, makes a lot of difference.
Our group of 71 people with average age of 55 were to stay here for a night.
The rooms are spacious and well furnished. We went in early Dec and rooms were kept comfortably warm by electric heaters. There were extra blankets available in the room.
Visited the standard set of popular attractions in the afternoon. By about 5:30 we were back in the hotel.
In the evening after our discourse meeting, most of us made it to the main road market for exploration and shopping. We were told that the Thimphu market is expensive compared to Paro and Punakha.
Returned to Hotel and hit the bed since we had been up from very early morning.
Got up early to get ready for the morning discourse meeting and checking out.
The hotel management must have got a culture shock, since all the 70 tourists got up early and had their bath. For the first time in my experience, cold water ran dry, leaving only boiling hot water running in the taps. Things got corrected in some time, but there was a slight delay in our programmes.
The breakfast spread was tweaked to our group's requirements. Enjoyed a nice hot breakfast.
The luggage handling during Check in and check out were handled efficiently and professionally by a set of girls. Wonderful crew.

We visited Bhutan in June 2019 and spent 8 amazing days. We opted a travel agent karma kaka for jamgoen phuntsho adventures. He has been fantastic from beginner to end. We received prompt answers to all email inquiries before the trip. He was a nice guy and knowledgeable. Which of course we enjoyed and appreciated. Driver Tshering parop was also excellent we felt very safe all the time. We also used the assistance of jamgoen phuntsho adventures to do visa applications.
We had a great time and therefore i can highly recommend the service of jamgoen phuntsho adventures.

I was in Phuntshopelri as part of my Bhutan tour. A slight hiccup regarding rooms was soon sorted, and I was given Room 204. There is plenty of light and a corner room. Since the hotel is in the middle of town, the views were mainly street views, which was nevertheless very interesting. The hotel could do with a bit of refurbishment, especially the floors in the room. But the room itself was spotless , odour free, and had everything I needed. A special note to mention that they had provided a universal adapter, which made charging my devices very easy.
A big shout out to the restaurant staff, Tshering Choden, Kinzang Norbu, Tshewang Rinchen, Choki Wangmo Extremely courteous, always smiling and able to help me with special requests. My package included breakfast and dinner, and I loved it.
Tshering Choden actually went out of her way to ensure I got the wine I wanted the last evening.
Totally loved the experience.

Hotel Phuntsho Pelri is one of the nicest hotels that we have ever stayed at. The staff is excellent, caring and very hospitable. We felt that we were at home throughout our 4 days there. The meals were excellent and made according to our requests by the great chef Mr Karna and his team. I would also like to compliment the lovely ladies at the reception, the superb housekeeping staff and the wonderful people at the restaurant namely Kinzang, Tshering, Sangli and Choki. Keep up the good work!!! We look forward to staying with you all again soon!!! I missed mentioning that the rooms, facilities, beds, linen etc are very good and comfortable too. The lounge with its comfortable couches and superb location of excellent books on Bhutan is a must visit and perfect for meetings too. The wifi is excellent as well with good network in the rooms as well. Anyone in the tourism industry should learn about the high standards of hospitality from the wonderful staff at Hotel Phuntsho Pelri.

I loved staying in this hotel at the start of our trip in Bhutan and then we had lunch there on our return. The highlight for me was the amazing service and friendliness of the Food and Beverage girls who looked after us so well. Thank you Yangden, Jeena Rai, Tshering Dechen and Choki Wangmo for making our time in the hotel so very special and memorable!

We took a package through a travel portal and that is perhaps the only way you can visit Bhutan.
The range is from Nu 3000 (standard) to Nu. 500 (delux). 1 Nu= ! Rupee. You can pay there in Indian currency. But they do not accept Rs 1000 notes.
