Cottages in Wangdue Phodrang

"Staying here was an incredible treat after completing an 8-day trek to Mardi Himal. My friend had researched hotels extensively, and since we only had two nights, we wanted to make the most of it. After a five-hour delay in Kathmandu we arrived exhausted, but the hotel immediately took care of us by accommodating a massage appointment. As a Platinum member I was also surprised with an upgrade to a villa. I love how the hotel feels built into the landscape. The wood architecture and large windows bring in beautiful natural light, and the grounds feature rolling hills with pine and cypress trees that make it feel like a mountain ski chalet. We chose this property for its proximity to both the airport and Tiger’s Nest. Breakfast was wonderful with homemade jams, jellies, marmalades, pastries, and fresh vegetable juices. The entire property is centered around wellness, and we even attended a talk about Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness philosophy, which was inspiring. The service was exceptional. My villa had a fireplace, butler service, a massage bed, and even a dedicated wellness room. The bathroom was huge and stocked with the same products used in the spa. I especially loved soaking in lavender and eucalyptus bath salts after the trek. When I called ahead on our way to the hotel, my butler had the fireplace lit and champagne on ice. Even though the villa was separ"

"The bed was very comfortable but honestly the hotel was similar to, or honestly, less impressive than our previous hotel at 1/3 the price (check out Lemon Tree Resort in Thimphu). Was a bit surprised to see the high reviews in comparison to actual condition/quality."

"Value for money is great, staff are helpful during stay and before for coordinating driver/guide. The setting in the forest is much nicer than staying in town. The only thing I felt was a let down were the pillow, too tall and hard so had to sleep without."

"Great location. Great staff. Clean room. Good food"

"Very good staff cleanest hotel .I advise all"

"All staff members were extremely helpful and friendly. "

"Location is great. Room is well equipped."

"room cleaning could be more thorough. They did not take used glasses, plates, shower cap. Heating was not on - but I was provided an extra heater"

"Don't get me wrong, the hotel is fine. But here, I will only focus on the unsatisfying part: the dining. The chief probably doesn't know how to cook a steak."
