This hotel is run by amiable Dasho Jampel Ngedup and family. It has spacious rooms with quality mattresses and an excellent restaurant. Standard rooms line up among the apple trees (avoid the back rooms), and the deluxe rooms come with modern bathrooms and sunny balconies. The hot-stone bath is worth experiencing for its ingenious communication system.
