Hotel Olathang is said to be the oldest hotel in Bhutan, and the property truly reflects its heritage. It’s a huge, well-maintained space with a charming, old-world feel. We had a 2 night stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and spacious, though some of the fittings felt a bit outdated. The food was average, and the buffet spread was quite limited. However, the restaurant staff were excellent—very courteous and attentive, which made our dining experience pleasant. Unfortunately, the reception service was disappointing. We were unexpectedly asked to check out at 9 AM, even though the official check-out time was 12 PM. When we questioned this, they falsely blamed our tour guide, claiming she had informed them of an early check-out, which was not the case. This left a sour impression at the end of an otherwise decent stay. Overall, it's a good place for those who want to experience a historic hotel with beautiful surroundings, but service at the front desk definitely needs improvement.

Excellent Hotel in Paro. very clean and good bathroom . It had an oil heater plus electric blankets. The staff very friendly and helpful. The dining area was large and it had a good variety of food for both the breakfast and evening meal. The cottages overlook the town.

Hotel Olathang belongs to a group of hotels and cafes. I have to say they've an amazing group of talents working for the chain. Olathang has a 50-year history when it was built in 1974. According to their one-time General Manager - Mr. Tshering Jamtsho, a lot of the cottages remains as it was originally built, except for additional electric heaters installed, nothing else was upgraded since 1974! Amazing.... We spent 2 days in Olathang Paro when we 1st arrived, and on our final night in Olathang as well. The hotel ground is perfectly manicured with pine trees and beautiful flowering trees. The back porch opens up to the valley and mountains - breathtaking views and refreshing air. I long to return!

This hotel is outside Paro and up a hill which overlooks the town. There is a central block with bar and restaurant and the main accommodation is in chalets in the grounds. The food was standard Bhutan tourist food but, on the last day, they changed the menu which was refreshing. The rooms were quite large with quite cold and small bathrooms. Everything worked. Just adequate power outlets. Nice to have a safe an side table. The crazy paving paths leading from reception to the rooms are poorly lit at night and unsuited for cases with castors.

A 50 year old heritage hotel. Rooms had the necessary amenities. Rooms were comfortable with a veranda facing the forest. |We didn’t have breakfast as early starts. Dinner food was ok. |Staff and service was very good. |We’d recommend it as a 3* hotel.

Nestled amidst the woody ranges and on banks of the river, the hotel dates back to 1974 but with the latest amenities and well maintained Chalets.
