Simtokha Dzong played a key defensive role during its time. Now a historic attraction, you can only imagine some of the scenes its fortified walls have witnessed.

You'll soon see why this Thimphu history-filled fortress is visited by many travelers. If you're searching for other things to keep you busy, Telecom Tower, Clock Tower Square, and Buddha Dordenma are in the area too. They won't take you long to get to from Simtokha Dzong.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (5 reviews)
Good location. But when it rains, outside the hotel kind of stinks. Hotel itself, if very clean, rooms are spacious and have all required things. Beds are great, washrooms and bedrooms are super clean and have great attention to detail. Staff is fantastic. If you need something, it's just a call away and they respond right away. The massage center is absolutely fantastic. Great way to relax
