Review Summary

Powered by Myra.AI

This property boasts an excellent location in the heart of Thimphu, making it easy to explore local shops and attractions like the immigration office. Guests appreciate the spacious, warm rooms and hospitable staff. Cleanliness is also a strong point. However, food prices are noted as quite high, and the absence of elevators and proper heating has been a concern for some. Overall, the accessibility and soothing ambiance enhance the stay experience.

Thimphu Sojurn

mayur p.solo

The location of the Hotel is it's biggest plus point. Town centre, equidistant from immigration and transport hub and also the Town square. The biggest set back is that it's bang on the Road and for a Road facing room, it can become a nightmare. The food quality is good and service is prompt. The big challenge is unavailability of elevators and a proper heating system. The staff is supportive and helpful. A good Hotel, but will not advise for stays. There are other options, probably at equivalent prices in the vicinity.

Had a comfortable stay

satyajit k.loyalty-icon

Had a comfortable stay. Wash-rooms were clean and had all modern amenities. Hotel Galingkha is centrally located at the main road with market places at walking distances. Food was OK. Room services were prompt and hotel staffs were happy to help.
Overall had a great stay. Room sizes were BIG and had all facilities attached to it. The location of the Hotel was just at the heart of the city with market places in walking distance. The Hotel has a well spread out restaurant/bar. Staffs were very courteous and always happy to help. Special mention for the Hotel Manager who was very hospitable and helpful specially to us who were there for the first time. He even helped us as a guide and took us to Paro for sight seeing making out time from his busy schedule.
