great location of the hotel. right in the center of town and everything is a walkable distance. The rooms were quite clean and well serviced - hot water, heater, internet and cable. The staff were pleasant, efficient and friendly. The only drawback was that breakfast was chargeable and not the usual complementary. not too much of a range for breakfast.... More

No elevator. A fairly new hotel in the central part of the city. Nice walking to shopping and all of downtown. Quite noisy because of dogs barking all night, but probably this would be true of any hotel here. The breakfast was less than average.

We stayed here for a couple of nights. The front desk staff was smiley. Wifi was sporadic at best (best spot is right by the window on the non-desk side of the lobby). Food in the restaurant was average to below average - cold more often than hot. The massages are very good, and, there is a shower by the... More

When we arrived, we were handed a key, with no greeting or information about the hotel. We then hiked up three fights of stairs to our room. Part of the room had a very low sloping ceiling. The room itself was just ok, we could hear voices from the surrounding rooms and we had to jam a piece of cardboard... More

This hotel is smarter looking than many of the others in Bhutan's capital. restaurant serves a decent range of food. Service remains slow and unresponsive however. No elevator, with all bedrooms upstairs.

We were given a windowless room (205) and told it couldn't be changed when the hotel wasn't full. The food was poor and just about lukewarm and there appeared to be no management presence at all in the hotel.

First, I loved Bhutan - it's a gorgeous country. If you have a chance to go, you should do it. This hotel is located right in the heart of downtown, so it offers a perfect location to start a walk from. There are no traffic lights so you can watch the lone police officer directing traffic from an elevated booth... More

Good location, near main shops, so my only opportunity to shop[ for souvenirs while I was in Bhutan. Good room, with plenty of space and okay TV. But be aware that downtown Thimphu has a very large population of dogs who roam the streets at night. Light sleepers will need earplugs.

Jumolhari is a decent hotel in the heart of Timphu Town. Rooms are clean and well appointed, though small in size. Bathrooms were clean and well kept. Eventhough Timphu is relatively cool place, the hotel was unusually warm and I wished there was aircon in the rooms.and restaurant. I had mixed experience with staff. They were not attentive or did... More

It is a nice hotel to stay, if you are on a visit to Thimphu. Centrally located, just in the midst of the town, next to the all famous Druk Hotel. Quite reasonable as well, and food is also nice. Rooms were also clean, and front-office staff were friendly as well. Wi-Fi was also fine, with no problems. I would... More
