Located on the road between Punakha and Wangdue, this hotel makes a convenient stopping point for many itineraries. The rooms are clean if somewhat plain. Ours had two double beds placed side by side. The bathroom was clean with plenty of hot water and a shower that worked. There was a TV in the room and free Wi-Fi in the... More

I loved the place as it was very quiet, the rooms were spacious and clean, the beds comfortable (as they were in most of Bhutan), the service excellent and the staff very friendly. The food was also very good. There was hot water and even a hairdryer provided (useful when it's still quite cold at night). When I was there... More

These cottages are built alongside a picturesque river and at night the lights of the town across the water provide a restful spot away from the main town. We were at the cottages 2 nights and we enjoyed our experience. The staff were very welcoming, professional and accommodating. The highlight for us was having dinner with the owner of the... More

We stayed two nights, and had large, comfortable rooms (usual amenities including TV) with a view of the river and the replacement township of Wangue across the river. The original town has been "relocated" due to hydro-electric construction, and the new town is a series of large identical buildings differentiated only by paint color. Maybe it was the new town...

Since travellers in Bhutan depend entirely on their tour operator with accommodation bookings, hardly anyone chooses the hotel to stay in. But should you happen to have a choice, opt for Puna Cottages if planning to visit Punakha or/and Wangdue. The hotel is far away from everything, not much to do around but sitting on the balcony watching the river... More

Overall, a good experience. Great location overlooking the Punatsangchhu and mountains, though the view is somewhat marred by he New Town across the river. We spent three nights there. Comfortable and warm rooms, but quite far from anywhere. Food was average, and priced higher than the restaurant at Dragon's Nest nearby. Staff are friendly and helpful. One negative is that... More

Stayed here for 2 nights and had a wonderful time. The rooms were clean, looked quite new, and very comfortable. I loved sitting in the balcony enjoying the view of the Punatsangchhu river, which flows just adjacent to the cottages. Free wifi was available in the main dining area. Dinner was the usual Bhutanese buffet style. The staff were very... More

Literary it is located in Wangi by the riverbank of Punakha River. It was funny that I could not locate the name of this hotel at all when we arrived. The... More

Since we arrived, the staffs have been very helpful in assisting our luggage and help us carried our tripods. The room was a bit cold and there was this radiator on the wall. So, we sat near the radiator whenever we're in the room. The shower has hot water but the bathroom exhaust fan was sucking all the steam and... More

My stay in the Punatsangchhu was out of expectation. Gifted by the Punatsangchhu, the soothing sound of the river acted like natural background music, making it a perfect place to relax your mind and soul. My room by the riverside was big, though not luxurious, but was comfortable, clean and had all basic facilities needed. I enjoyed sitting by the... More
