CityHotel, Thimphu

CityHotel, Thimphu

📍 Dungkhor Lam, Thimphu
★★★★ 8.7 (33 reviews)

"It's located about 3 mins walk off the main street. The room was huge with a desk, 2 armchairs, king size bed, wetroom (very common in Bhutan) with a good shower, tea & coffee and a room safe (rare in Bhutan). Breakfast was local dishes with some cereals and eggs to order, quite acceptable. Dinner - you have to pre-order, ideally well in advance, everything is cooked fresh to order and this situation is very common in Bhutan unless the accommodation puts on a Buffet."

📍 156 Jangchub Lam Southeast, Thimphu
★★★★ 8.5 (22 reviews)

"We stayed 1 night. The room was big and comfortable. The wooden floor a bit noisy. We had a fair view of the valley. The hotel is downtown and walkable to bars and restaurants. The food was standard tourist fare typical of Bhutan's view of tourism. Overall, comfortable but not special."

"The hotel is in a most convenient location for tourists and provides great service and all modern amenities at a reasonable rate. But the best part about the place is its staff, who make you feel right at home and would even go out of their way to do the same. I had the most unique and precious experience of bonding with the entire hotel staff in a way that is only possible in this absolutely wonderful country. I was treated with so much care and affection, I felt downright pampered. Deeply touched by the sincere hospitality of this place. Left with a grateful heart. Highly recommended place to stay in Thimphu for all travellers."

Lemon Tree Resort, Thimphu, Bhutan

📍 Hangkuna, Taba, Thimphu
★★★ 8.9 (11 reviews)

"My stay at Lemon Tree Resort, Thimphu was nothing short of exceptional. Nestled atop a serene hill just 16 minutes from the town, the location offers the perfect escape for anyone seeking peace and tranquility. The views are breathtaking, and the setting allows you to truly unwind and connect with nature. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the incredible hospitality. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Every single team member was courteous, warm, and extremely helpful, making us feel right at home. A very special mention to Sherab, whose attention to detail and genuine care made my stay even more memorable. Her dedication to guest satisfaction is truly commendable. If you’re planning a trip to Bhutan and looking for a peaceful yet luxurious stay, Lemon Tree Resort in Thimphu is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended!"

Le Méridien Thimphu Hotels in Thimphu

Le Méridien Thimphu

"Our trip to Bhutan was fantastic thanks to the friendly staff at Le Meridian Thimphu. The service was excellent and the rooms very well appointed and each day we were greeted by the friendly staff. Special mention to the restaurant staff Demi Yangden and Mon Maya for their helpful suggestions for authentic Bhutan food and their friendly smiles each time we were at the restaurant. They really made us feel at home! On arrival in Thimphu we had some issues with the local ATM, it took our Visa card and did not give us our cash. We were in a panic and really stressed out. The receptionist at Le Meridian, Ms Singay Dema came to our rescue. She contacted the bank and came in the next day ( on her time off) to help us get our Visa card from the ATM and some Bhutan money. This was exceptional service from a hotel employee. We travel extensively and Ms Dema is one of the most dedicated employees we have ever met. Once again we are very indebted to her for helping us through our emergency. We hope to return to Bhutan some day and stay at Le Meridian and will strongly recommend that our friends stay at your hotel to enjoy the kindness and professionalism that we received on our trip.

Khamsum Inn ★★★
"I have gone there to get materialistic comfort i.e. cozy bed, warm room, stinkless toilet, delicious foods, etc. But what I have received is a homely or psychological attachment to my needs. Service with a broad smile, with a positive approach to make the ambience (not just a staying) warm and contented, is better than service given mechanically. Nothing is perfect on this earth (not even the gods or goddesses). We are not perfect, still we expect super-perfection from others ! Actually perfection is a utopian word. Striving to achieve with our best is the real thing that only exists. Back on earth, to the hotels, Khamsum Inn (Thimphu) and Hotel Khamsum (Paro), the rooms here are spacious enough. The whiteness of bed isn't generally come across at this rate. The position of rooms, lift and stairs in each floor is really well-planned. The lay-out of fire evacuation at different locations of the hotel, from rooms to landings, broadens my smile. And finally some great paintings on Bhutanese life and culture add a pure aesthetic value to our soul too ! In the restaurants the serving girls don't wear gloves, but they wear trust in their hands ! So spic and span the kitchens and the restaurants are, so hygienic and delicious the foods and water are, and so to say or not to mention the drooping gestures met by us in every nook and corner of the hotel, with smiles, smiles and smiles everywhere ! The hotels actually have "3 Stars" accreditation, but Usmita (The Manager of both Khamsum Inn, Thimphu and Hotel Khamsum, Paro), Chimi (The Duty Manager of Hotel Khamsum, Paro), Isha (The Receptionist of Khamsum Inn, Thimphu) and the girls and boys (I don't know all their names) at the receptions as well as at the restaurants and kitchens in both the hotels took care of us so honestly, so meticulously, couldn't ignore even little things that could discomfort us a bit that, according to me, they are the real "STARS" ! Thanks to Khamsum Team for making my vacays so welcoming and alluring .... Waiting to see you all again .... from ~ Anindya Modak Santipur, Nadia West Bengal, India "
