The Four Boutique Hotel

Excellent Location , Beautiful Views, great Hospitality

Reviewed By RajendraC142

I stayed with my family on 26 th April 2019 at this hotel. The View of the river is beautiful, rejuvenating. The Hotel is located at higher altitude along the bank of river Puna Tsang Chu. The suspension bridge and Punakha Dzong is around 5 Km from this place. Breakfast and food is lovely. You can buy from local market by crossing the river using steel bridge near the hotel.

Drubchhu Resort

Drubchhu is a family owned and managed resort. Overlooking paddy fields and farm houses, Drubchhu is developed on the ruins of an old granary which was built by Zhabdung Jigme Choegyal more than a hundred years ago. The property has a natural spring believed to be a Drubchhu (healing/miraculous water).

Nice service but the heater to be improved

Reviewed By Maryfern2001

We have a big room under the Drubchhu cafe. It has nice view over the valley and padi field. However, the heater is small and not sufficient for such a big room. The hotel staff got us an additional small mobile heater but it brings not much help. Again, we are freezing in the winter.

Modern and Comfortable Hotel

Reviewed By Gordon T

The RKPO Green Resort is located in Punakha Valley and its location is very convenient for visiting most all of the attractions in this area. From this Resort it was just a short drive to visit the Punakha Dzong, Sangchhen Dorji Lhuendrup Lhakhang Nunnery, Chimi Lhakhang Temple and Tachog Lhakhang (Iron Chain) Bridge. The Green Resort is clean, modern and has good service - from the front desk to the restaurant staff. Our standard room is very spacious (see photos) with plenty of room to move around. There are nice, heavily padded easy chairs located right in front of the large window that overlooks the Ponakha Valley - nice! The bathroom has separate shower and bathtub with sufficient space for moving around. Highly recommend this RKPO Green Resort while in Punakha because it is a very nice place to stay while visiting this area.

Great Views, Ambience with Good Food

Reviewed By Experience453460

Went there in November 2019 with my friends. We booked River Facing Rooms, so, got perfect view of River and outside area from room itself. Staff is very polite and helpful. Would have given 5/5, but food was not that excellent.

Hotel Vara

Mixed feelings

Reviewed By HBMarkowski

Pro’s are the location with nice view, the friendly staff, size of the room, wifi and hot water/shower. Con’s are the dogs at night right in front of your hotel (ask management to handle them, worked well the second night) AND cleanness of the room. Also the spa-room is very outdated while the bodymassage was excellent.

It has it's own charm

Reviewed By rahul_upadhyay

Situated at a height, so the you can see whole punakha town sitting in your balcony. Rooms are medium sized but well maintained. So are the bathrooms. The diamond in the ring is the peace and view you get while your stay. The restaurant serves very good food. Ask for a valley view room if possible. As it is at a distance from the town you may have to take a cab or you need your own vehicle. The people are very polite and humble.
