You can tell that at one point, the Druk Hotel was THE place to stay in Thimphu. I get the feeling that it has rested on its laurels since those days - watching while other superior hotels (Aman & Taj) have gone up. To be fair one can't really compare the Druk with these uber-luxury hotels, but if they want... more

I stayed at the Druk three nights: two nights while on the way to Jakar, and one night on the way back to Paro. While the staff was courteous and the bathrooms were clean, the rooms themselves were dark and dingy. The furniture was old and dirty. And, I heard strange noises coming from the walls. Dogs barked all night... more

The best hotel in Thimpu. Very courteous staff. Power outages on occasion with candles used in the hallways for light. Rooms are large with adequate facilities. Above average for Bhutan. more

Unless you are willing to shell out $1000/night for the Aman, this is the default choice for most discerning travelers to the Bhutanese capital. The Druk will get some real competition in the years ahead from the Taj (under construction) and Oberoi (planned) and hopefully that will prod the owner of the Druk to make much-needed upgrades and improvements, both... more

A nice hotel in the center of Thimpu. The location is great for walking around and shopping. There is a good sized supermarket nearby. The room itself is a very comfortable size, including twin beds, sitting area with couches and coffee table, desk and chair as well as a day bed. The TV is hooked up to satellite/cable and has... more

We spent 11 days in Bhutan and the Druk Hotel was by far the most 'western' of the hotels. It had cable TV, a nice warm shower, internet access, and wine available at dinner. A Hyatt it is not but it was a nice change from the other hotels in Bhutan, although we actually really liked the more 'rustic' nature... more

I do not fully agree with sleepaway for the comments. Yes a renovation is required but the Hotel is amazing. The staffs are the best. Their wireless internet is really good. Food is perhaps the best. It is worth every penny. And the best part of this hotel is the personal touch you get from the upper level Management to... more

The owner of this well-worn and shabby property is building a much grander hotel in Thimphu and may be allowing this property to run down as a cash cow. It was a grubby and unpleasant place for two stays on our recent tour of Bhutan. On arrival for the second, 2-night stay, our room was littered with shopping bags and... more

Druk Hotel is even better then before. I stayed there five years ago, and went back now. The service is good bhutanese service, the rooms are clean, staff is quite open to strange requests. Plus the hotel is in the super centre of the city at a walking distance from anything you might want at the last minute and the... more

Although afraid to stay in this hotel after reading the only review, I was very surprised when we arrived. The lobby is clean and nice, the staff very helpful. The rooms were excellent, clean, equipped with all a guest dreames of. The breakfast was one of the better ones we had, with a very large choice of delicious dishes, prepared... more
