Hotel in Paro
Hotel in Thimphu
|
Hotels vary in style and quality from town to town but are generally
considered to be one of the welcome surprises for visitors to Bhutan.
All government approved hotels are clean and well maintained. During the
colder months hotels are heated and extra blankets or comforters are
provided in each room. Bathrooms are reasonably modern with running hot
water common in Thimphu and Paro but found less often further east.
Hotel staffs are invariably exceptionally accommodating and will do
whatever they can to make guests feel more comfortable.
In
Thimphu, Paro and central districts all hotels are equipped with
telephones, fax machines and international dialing. Bhutan is
surprisingly well connected to the outside world and it may appear
something of a miracle to telephone New York or London from the
Bhutanese heartland, but you can.
All hotels have their own restaurant and some also have a bar. Most of
the food eaten by tourists in Bhutan is eaten in the hotels. There are
some freestanding restaurants in Thimphu but few elsewhere.
