Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Just a few blocks away, as they say, standing by itself this beautiful property is a delight to be at with 5 star comforts.
The grand lobby that receives you with very courteous staff and the warm spacious rooms just make the stay quite memorable.
When in the rooms or from the bar end just after the dining area, one gets a view of the grand Thimpu Valley.
My most indulgence with food and quest for authentic bhutanese dishes were full filled by the restaurant Zama. They doled out dishes after dishes to a voracious meat eater like me with a great smile, always wondering which part of the world i landed upon them.
I would highly recommend this place both for staying as well as visiting for a meal.

We stayed in a corner room on the top floor which had these large windows opening up to The Himalaya. The room was spacious and beautiful. Food was outstanding and we got personal attention from the chef and the staff, which made it all the more enjoyable. Location of this hotel is in a quiet street but not very far from the market. Overall a great property that I would definitely recommend.

I have now stayed twice at the Norkhil and it was great both time - the place is stunning, very clean, large rooms and beautifully decorated. The food is great and the customer service absolutely excellent - all staff at reception or at the restaurant have been absolutely great and tried to accommodate different requests. It is not in the middle of town, but it is very quiet (apart from the dogs barking from time to time, but that you get everywhere in Thimpu). Overall we felt very much at home during our stay at the Norkhil and would definitely want to stay again.

It is a pleasant hotel in a good location. The rooms are spacious. The staff are friendly. The views on the backside of the hotel are great. We had a room facing the road, which did add a bit of ambient noise. The breakfast and dinner were buffets. Nothing special but perfectly adequate. I would stay there again.

Room Tip:It's worth it to get a room on the rear side of the hotel, away from the road.

Beautiful hotel, close to town with huge rooms! The bed was SO comfortable we slept better than we do at home! We had a corner room so had windows we could open for fresh air and views over the town. Nice little bar downstairs and nice food in the restaurant. We were here on Halloween-the staff had made really cute Halloween desserts.

The entrance hall of this hotel is magnificent, as are the rooms which are huge. Ours even has a small living room which is very pleasant for spending a few hours in the room working.
The service remains a little complicated, especially in the restaurant because not all of the dishes on the menu are actually available. It's a shame for a hotel of this category. On the other hand, the breakfast buffet is magnificent and there are even croissants.

We stayed at Norkhil as part of our tour company (Intrepid) and it was EXCELLENT. The hotel has spacious and clean rooms, balcony views to die for, a delicious international breakfast, and very friendly staff. I would not hesitate to stay here again.
Only thing that could be improved is the Wi-Fi - it’s good when it works, but coverage was a bit spotty at times.

This is a beautiful hotel with huge rooms and very good food. we did not eat the buffet for dinner and the butter chicken and local ema Datshi made for a wonderful dinner with rice and bread. Beds were comfortable and it was a great first night in Bhutan. Staff was very pleasant. Lots of tour groups here and some were pretty noisy.

Lovely hotel to stay in when visiting Thimphu. Welcoming & helpful staff, huge bedrooms with fantastic views of the valley. I was there with a small curated group and all of us had a good stay and sleep. I think a couple had a massage in the Spa too after a long day sightseeing.
