Spirit of Bhutan Resort♡

A Truly Memorable Bhutan Experience: Professional Travel Agency and Good Hotel

10.0

I had a private tour organised by Spirit of Bhutan and was arranged to stay at the this resort on the last two days of my trip. Staff of the resort were friendly and attentive. Rooms were clean with a great view of the Rinpung Dzong and food was good too! Regarding the tour, I am so glad to have Dechan organising everything for me. He is very kind, efficient and responsive to my messages. Special thanks to Pema and Dorji, my tour guide and driver as their enthusiasm, knowledge, and personalised attention truly made my experience unforgettable. In particular, they took very good care of my aged parents and accompanied them all the way during the hike to the Tiger’s Nest Monastery. In addition, they also arranged a surprised dinner to celebrate my birthday during the trip. In fact, Pema and Dorji were actually doing something way beyond their responsibilities! In short, it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend Spirit of Bhutan to anyone who would like to visit the happiest country on Earth!

Lovely small hotel. The staff are so so attentive and really made sure everyt comfort was met. I enjoyed learning about Bhutan (culture, history, current affairs) just from long chats with them while waiting for dinner. The ffod was also really good.

My Place of Love

One of the best place in the heart of Paro Town with excellent service and staff.I recently had the pleasure of staying at the exquisite Hotel during my vacation, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I stepped foot into the hotel, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism by the attentive staff, setting the tone for a memorable stay.

Great hotel for a pleasant stay in Paro

Great hotel with a beautiful view of the Paro Dzong and close to the town centre. Rooms are spacious and clean. Dinner and breakfast was delicious. Service from the staff was excellent, very friendly and welcoming. Recommended!

Very noisy, dangerous electric heaters, hot water runs out very quickly, very poor wifi

4.0

Stayed for three nights (booked by travel agency). Had seen positive reviews, but my experience was quite negative. Good location within walking distance of the Paro festival. Soundproofing is entirely lacking. You can hear dogs barking outside, conversations in other rooms and in the hallway as if it happened in your own room. The first two nights the hotel was nearly empty, but it filled up on my last day. I was awakened before 06:00 by what sounded like a herd of buffaloes in the room upstairs pacing the super-squeaky floor, then some men in Bhutanese attire (not sure whether hotel staff or guides) talking loudly in the hallway right near my door. The electric heaters provided are a safety hazard. When I arrived, the room was very cold. An electric heater was plugged in but appeared too weak to warm up the room, which was quite spacious. I asked for another electric heater, then realized that the plug of the first heater was overheated, and when I unplugged it one of the prongs had melted! Beds and pillows were reasonably comfortable. Room amenities included an electric kettle, which had an Australian plug that didn't fit any of the power outlets in the room. One of the night lamps had no cord to plug it in, so it was on the nightstand for decoration only On the first day the hot water in the shower ran out abruptly after a couple of minutes. The staff indicated that I should have turned on a switch labeled "Geyser" which was hidden in the back of the bathroom. No one had mentioned it on arrival when they showed me to my room. On the second night I had the water heater turned on but the hot water ran out abruptly after about five minutes. It was a double room, so five minutes’ worth of hot water is all that’s provided for two people. Housekeeping left a lot to be desired. Every day there was something missing or not replaced: soap bar, toilet paper, hand towel, etc. I never had a bath mat. Wifi was extremely slow (2-3 Mbps). Breakfast to order (no buffet), quite mediocre. Staff was nice, albeit often inept. The front desk rarely answered the phone.

Pleasant 1-night stay

Although my stay here amounted to just 1 night, it was very pleasant and smooth. The hotel was lovely and clean, while the staff was friendly and polite. Like other reviewers, I also enjoyed the view from the restaurant. Would recommend staying here.
