Really good Spa Experience

I had the pleasure of enjoying an aromatherapy massage at the spa during my stay. The ambiance was serene, and the treatment was nothing short of wonderful. It truly helped me relax and rejuvenate after my hikes around the area. If you're looking to unwind, I highly recommend indulging in their spa services.

Delicious Dining Options

The dining experience at Naksel was good! I was impressed by the variety on the buffet, which moved beyond traditional Bhutanese fare. I particularly enjoyed a fantastic fish and chips dinner, which was well-prepared and served hot - a real treat after my brief sojourn through the region's standard meals. Breakfast was also plentiful and satisfying, setting a great tone for my day.

Spacious and Comfortable Rooms

I absolutely loved the spaciousness of my room at the Naksel. It featured a large living area and a lovely private deck with amazing views of the mountains. I appreciated the underfloor heating, which added a cozy touch to the overall atmosphere. Every aspect of the room was designed for comfort, making my stay incredibly enjoyable.

Well-Appointed and Inviting Bathrooms

The bathroom in my room was quite impressive! It boasted modern fixtures, and I particularly enjoyed the large soaking tub, which felt like a personal spa after a long day of exploring. Plus, the complimentary amenities were thoughtfully chosen, enhancing the overall luxury of my stay.

The hotel is a cozy retreat nestled in a secluded valley, offering breathtaking views of the mountains, including Tiger's Nest. The rooms are warm and comfortable, though the road leading up is a bit rough. The dining experience features a tasty mix of local and international cuisine, although the buffet could vary in quality. Overall, it’s a peaceful and clean place perfect for relaxation, but keep in mind that reaching the hotel might be challenging, especially at night.

Naksel was an incredible start and end to our Bhutan trip. The views from the hillside were breathtaking, and our family room was both spacious and cozy. Dining was generally satisfying, especially with generous portions, but our first evening's dinner service was frustrating due to the long wait and a mix-up with our order. Overall, the staff truly made us feel cared for, and I can't imagine staying anywhere else when we return to Bhutan.

Overall, it's a lovely hotel but has its quirks that could be addressed for a better experience.

This boutique hotel offers a truly peaceful and delightful stay, nestled in the foothills with breathtaking views all around, including Mt. Jomolhari. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, making it an ideal spot for relaxation, while the dining experience stands out with an impressive variety of delicious dishes. However, finding the location can be a bit tricky without a guide, and the heating in the rooms takes a while to kick in, which could be uncomfortable for some.
