Druk Hotel

It is a very good hotel and location is excellent. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. The service was excellent and friendly. The food and bar facilities were good. We would recommend stay at Druk for Thimphu visitors. All in allma very memorable experience.

The main positive recommending this hotel is its location in the middle of Thimphu. I had no control over the choice of this hotel as I was on a group tour. Otherwise, it is very old and badly needs updating. Although the hotel has wifi, it is inconsistent. Light switches were very hard to figure out. The carpets are worn, “closets” are bare bones, public areas are ok, but dining room has very uncomfortable wooden chairs more appropriate to a monastery. No hair dryer or refrigerator. The room safe was locked when I arrived and when housekeeping came to unlock it, it appeared that the security of the safe was questionable; a disclaimer on top was not reassuring. Although there is apparently a room cooling and ventilation system, it doesn’t work. The windows are old and not airtight. Room smelled musty. Some of my traveling companions complained of noisy barking dogs all night, though fortunately my room was not facing the main town square. , Staff were uniformly unfriendly and quite unhelpful; I felt that asking for something - more drinking water, hair dryer, etc. was putting them out. Food at the hotel restaurant is typical Bhutanese and unremarkable.

Lovely friendly hotel with a GREAT BAR and food. The pictures online don't do it justice. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. Loved it. It's situated right in town and the views from the balconies out the back are beautiful. The rooms are a good size and nice and clean. It exceeded expectations.
