The staff here are so friendly and active that I was quite dumbfounded. They are really punctual and always at your beck and call. Apart from that, Small cottages are built with varying areas and rooms depending upon the price. Also the rooms are spacious and the location of this hotel is outstanding as well. I will highly recommend this hotel for the people who are coming to Paro

Our last 2 nights were spent at this gorgeous hotel. We just love the big rooms with a TV, heater, wardrobe, a living room and ample space in their bathrooms.

Old world charm!
This is a lovely hotel Olathang which exudes warmth and friendliness. All of the staff that we met were polite and friendly and ready to assist. The service in the restaurant was excellent. In fact, for the dinner buffet when the server found out that we were vegetarians they promptly offered another veg dish even though there were several dishes on the buffet. And the Chef personally came to our table with the freshly prepared dish of Paneer masala. That is class! And the dish was very well prepared with all authentic spices and preparation. The rooms are warm and inviting with lovely carpets. Lovely grounds and nice view of the valley and mountains. This is indeed a fine hotel.
