CityHotel, Thimphu

Was a decent hotel. Located centrally.

The hospitality of the staff was beyond expectations and reproach. Their willingness to accommodate requests was at a level that I have never experienced at other hotels. I felt comfortable and at home.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Close to the riverside walk, and markets. There is also a nice small monastery opposite the hotel. The staff is so friendly, and the food is wonderful.

Our room was HUGE and came with a kitchen (including a fridge and microwave) which was a wonderful surprise! It also had a great view. The only problem was, it was cold in the room with no way to adjust the temperature. We called the front desk for help and they weren't able to adjust it either, so they were kind enough to bring a large space heater. It was a good solution till we moved the space heater from the living room to the bedroom, which caused the power to shut down for the whole room. But the staff were quick to help, and they got the power back on shortly. One other thing to be aware of, which is not the hotel's fault, was that it was very loud outside...lots of loud partying just across the street...like a club or rave, even though it was a Sunday night. And when we were trying to fall asleep, there were loud catfight noises that lasted around an hour. We later learned this was common. Again, not the hotel's fault of course, but if you're looking for peace and quiet, you may not find it here. But the enormous size of the room and kind staff made up for it.

The rooms were spacious and well appointed. Hotel was well located with walking distance of the town center. Restaurant had good selection of food items.
