want, or you can accept it as par for the course?and make the best of it.
As in any capital city the options range from budget hostels to top-end hotels, but even there, do not expect western standards (or better-put: western style) level of service.
We stayed in The Druk, more specific details of which will appear elsewhere on this site.
THE BANK & POST OFFICE:
Located on Norzin Lam, the main street. An imposing building, set back from the road it is hard to miss.
Nu are not traded internationally, so you will have to visit the bank at some stage (although the Indian rupee is accepted just about everywhere, and many places on the main tourist trail will also accept US dollars; some hotels will also change currency but do not hold stocks of cash). If you've been led to believe that this exchange will be a complicated ...
Advantages: Offers insights into the daily worship of Bhutanese Buddhists Disadvantages: There's not REALLY all that much to see

We arrived in Thimphu, the country's capital city, after dark and so had no idea what to expect when we opened the curtains of our hotel room the next morning.

It's not one of the most expensive hotels in Thimphu ? apparently that accolade goes to the Taj Trashi which is still being built and is said to be likely to cost about $1000 a night. But who needs that much ostentation on their holiday? Not me. Actually despite being good enough for the Lonely Planet to know about it, I have to be honest and say that I don't think the hotel's as good as it thinks it is.
