Hotel Amodhara

On a tour of bhutan, two nights stay at amodhara, friendly staff, nice warm room with modern bathroom, lots of room to open suitcase, use computer etc... Sound proofing of windows could be improved though, thank god Bhutanese drivers do not honk stupidly like Nepali or Indian ones.

Excellent location with good amenities, spacious and clean rooms. Staff is helpful and polite. Food is good. Views from from are stunning. Location is convenient. Opposite rooms had a view of Buddha statue. Nice to stay

The room was nice and big, the hotel staff spoke English perfectly, the food was good and plentiful and the waitstaff was very nice...We would stay there again and recommend it to everybody...Architecture was in the Bhutanese style

I really don't understand all of the neutral/negative reviews - I had an excellent stay at Hotel Amodhara! Perhaps travellers are expecting services beyond the 3 star hotel budget they've paid for? This hotel is simply excellent. Rooms are very large and spacious. Decorated with quality wooden floors. Beds are very comfortable (pillows and blankets were lovely) and extra blankets are provided on cold nights in Thimphu. The staff had turned on the heating in my room well in advance of my arrival, which meant that my room was warm and inviting upon arrival (thank you so much for your attention to this detail!). Most appreciated, since evenings were cold for me in Thimphu (even for a Canadian). Rooms came with the basic 3 star hotel amenities - 2 bottles of water, 2 bars of soap, 2 little shampoo bottles, towels, an electric kettle etc. The room was equipped with a little tv with satellite, offering many English news and movie channels! On cold evenings in Thimphu, I cozied up in my bed, enjoyed a Hollywood movie and sipped some Bhutanese wine! Wifi struggled initially, upon arrival, but afterwards, the signal was very strong throughout my stay, even on the 4th floor where my room was! Showers were amazingly hot! No shortage of hot water in this hotel! Pressure was excellent. Towels were ample and soft! Bathroom and toilets were clean! No complaints here at all. If I needed anything in excess, like toilet paper, bottled water, or milk powder, staff were quick to replenish stocks with smiles and courtesy. The only thing lacking in the rooms is instant coffee. Milk powder and tea were provided, but this country doesn't seem to be a coffee drinking coffee, and what coffee I have tried, definitely isn't coffee (it's more like a milk tea). But I had some Nescafé provisions on hand that I had picked up in other countries, so I was able to make my own instant coffee in the room. Lighting in the rooms definitely needs to be improved - rooms are quite dark, but, it's not a deal breaker (I opened the curtains during the day to let the light in). Rooms also come with furniture like a couch, table, etc., which actually served its purpose! What makes this hotel stand out truly are the staff. I have very particular dietary preferences (meat protein and vegetables are my main feed, even when travelling), and the staff went above and beyond to ensure my dietary specifications were met for every meal. Travel in Bhutan is offered on a full board deal, and on this point I was most worried/concerned. Staff were just superb - they took great pleasure in preparing for me: chicken breast, steamed vegetables, side salads, fresh fruits, and hard boiled eggs for every meal! I cannot express enough gratitude for the staff at this hotel, and they truly went out of their way to ensure I was appropriately fed at each meal. Just fantastic, so thank you so kindly! Overall, staff were friendly, welcoming and extremely courteous. Upon arrival, I was offered a nice hot cup o
