Breakfast was very good. Homely taste. French toast is a must-try.

Honey United Arab Emirates

The hotel is in the centre of Thimphu Town. All the facilities like restaurants, shops, money exchange were near the hotel. One of the staffs organized a driver for us to pick us up from the Paro Airport to the hotel. You can even see the Buddha Point from the bedrooms near the road. They even provided us extra blankets and iron when we asked for it. Overall it was a very pleasant experience to stay in Gakyil Hotel.

Sabrina Bangladesh

Being cold winters, the staff prepared the heaters prior to arrival and kept the rooms warm. Hotel obliged for late check-in since we arrived late. Clean rooms, fresh sheets, decent breakfast options. Overall a very good place to stay at Thimpu. Located at the heart of the city made it more convenient to explore the town. Room heaters were a savior in the cold and worked fine.

Christopher United Arab Emirates

This place is located in the heart of the city and everything is nearby.

Shubham India

Everything.location is excellent.interior,restaurant,reception,hot water,heater,view from the window,perfect room service,pleasant hospitality all in one.

Bahnni Bangladesh

It was in the town,located near the clock tower. Near the market place. Good food at reasonable cost.

Rajbharath India

First and foremost the location. Right in the center of the city, very near to the Clock Tower. Rooms with a view of the mountains are great value for money.

Anonymous India

Rooms are big enough most important is the view from the room was breathtaking. Hotel is situated in the heart of thimphu town next to clock tower. Food was really good. Service was prompt. You won't forget the big smile of every staff.

Aveek India

The food was excellent and hygienic. The location was exotic, being at the heart of Thimpu - all facilities were easily available at stones throw distance. The staff was exceptionally helpful and bore the brunt of the management flaws.

John India

Almost everything. Very cooperative staffs. Nice location and comfortable beds.
