Yeedzin Guest House

Thimphu


This modest but quiet and friendly guesthouse is popular with local NGO staff. Rooms are only so-so, but there are five deluxe suites with homey decor, a kitchen and the usual hotel-style mod-cons. Discounts of up to 50% are available for long-term stays. The open fire in the restaurant is a nice touch.
