The river view hotel is situated on the east bank of Thimpu River and offers a brilliant view of the entire capital town. As far as my knowledge goes, it is the only hotel on the other bank of the river. The hotel has 50 well decorated modern rooms with privet balcony overlooking Thimpu river valley and the mountains beyond the river. So, at night you go to bed with the lapping sounds of the river water, and the silvery rays of the rising sun on the mountains, the sound of chirping birds and again the gentle sound of water flowing past wakes you up in the morning.

The hotel is the best in Thimphu and quite good in all respects, with all the necessary amenities. The hotel staff are very pleasant, simple and friendly. There is a restaurant with the hotel which serves food at all times during the day, the quality is good. Even the most discerning guest wouldn't find too much to complain about in Riverview Hotel.
