Find hotels in Tibet Autonomous Region, China

I discovered this hotel at my 2last days in Lhasa , the location is just next to the 八廓街, literally 2 minutes away. And for the potala palace, its 15mins away on foot but come on you don't need to go there everyday dont you. The check in is perfect, i arrived ard12 which was too early so the staff helped me taking care of the luggages and the upgraded room was ready an hour later. The room is AWESOME, especially if you did some travel in Tibet, compare with the those you went , this is more than a four season. You can't expect it is as much as you get from a 6star hotel but it is no doubt more than 3star , and more importantly with this price. The staff crew 's hospitality was really touchy, i would go travel back to Tibet as soon as possible because of them. If you are traveling to Lhasa, book this hotel quick as they full up like you won't believe, don't walk in cuz its no chance. Come live here or you may end up somewhere else that dirty and unfriendly but paying similar price .

The hotel located at the old own area of Lhasa and near the most famous temple of tibet (Da Zha Si) you can truely feel the tibet culture and tradition over there. i extremely like the hotel design, there's a big longue area at hotel lobby that we can chat every night with new friend meet during they day. the hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. Great stay experence at Tashi Choeta Hotel.

The location can’t be better, only a block away from Barkhor street and minutes to the POTALA Palace by taxi ( US$ 2 ) Around you will find many convenience stores, Restaurants and a Pharmacy next door. The building Is old and attractive. The interior have been renovated with mármol floors and beautiful hand painted Tibetan designs. The room are the same, beautiful to the last detail, large with a very nice bathroom, large T.V. with great selection of English channels. The best part was the service. The staff very friendly, always smiling and ready to help with any question. They also have an oxígeno machine available 24 hrs. for any guest suffering from attitude sickness. The free breakfast was clean, fresh and with different items everyday. Just by been inside the Hotel I felt like in Tibet and I will recommend it to anybody. It is a lot more enjoyable than an expensive 5 Stars Hotel.

We had been traveling around Tibet for 7 days before arriving at the Four Points Sheraton. We were tired of the other tibetan hotels' lack of elevators and overall poor customer service. This hotel was a wonderful way to finish our trip. We selected the Junior Suite which was FANTASTIC. The shower was great, bed was super soft (compared to hard mattresses everywhere else). Overall, my experience was a welcome luxury compared to the previous 7 nights. There are a few hiccups though: When I went to get a drink after a massage, they said they couldn't give me a cocktail because there was no bartender. When we ordered are food, the waitress told us we couldn't order medium or medium rare - until the cook intervened and cooked to our liking. When we checked in, the front desk wouldn't give me WIFI even though the booking came with it; we eventually got it after showing them the room description from our booking. Lastly, in the morning, I called for a porter to come get our bags. I was transferred 3x to 3 different people, who just didn't understand no matter how I tried explaining. In the end, I walked downstairs to get the baggage cart myself. The man at front desk saw me, and didn't make any effort to take it into his own hands or to get someone to do it for me. He also didn't say anything once I had brought the bags down and left the cart at the desk.

Very friendly and pleasant general manager (Jigmesh?) who spoke and understood English well and made our stay very comfortable. The breakfast was simple and tasty and included in the room rate. Internet worked well. Only downside was walking through dusty streets to get to the hotel, and also several flights of stairs up to your room depending on how high up your room is (4 floors in the hotel, 4th floor rooms have the best views).

The location is great - in between the river and snowy mountains with a large private estate decorated with pines and beautiful flowers. Service was substantially below standard though. Arrived on a rainy day and no one greeted me or offered umberra from parking lot to lobby. Had to ask staff to help carry luggage to room. Close to no table service at the Chinese restaurant too. Ignored for 5 mins & had to ask twice to be seated at the entrance. Ordered one yak beef sushi and one mushroom soup, waited for another 61 minutes for both dishes to be served (restaurant was only half occupied though). With regards to the sushi - beef was taken straight outside of freezer and tasted like plastic. The soup was a different level of disappointment - first served too salty, asked to be redone and then came back with plastic warp at the bottom of the soup. Lost my appetite and got back to my room quite upset, and guess what - staff informed me the hotel will run on limited electricity supply from the next morning due to power engine failures. All in all, great location and decent facilities almost ruined by extremely poorly trained staff. A very regrettable stay.

I decided to book this hotel to relax after a tour to Everest Base Camp and back knowing that we would probably want to relax and knowing that in we would be trapped in Lhasa because of the Chinese rules and reg's. On arrival we had a problem as I booked a room with a "Landmark View". When we went into room there was a view of the garden and other rooms in the shangri-la. I asked where the landmark was? They didn't know what a Landmark meant, they said it was the garden and then suggested I could see a Landmark "Potala Palace" from the bar anyway so all good. Eventually they agreed that I could have a room with the Potala Palace view. They were very kind and apologetic about it all. Everything there is beautiful. Lovely long swimming pool, gym, oxygen room, spa. The breakfast is gorgeous as is the Horizon Lounge which provided complimentary drinks and food. You can easily walk to Potala Palace or a taxi to Jokhang Temple/Barkhor Square and the bars and restaurants down there for $1.5. Be aware that the taxi's stop and pick up other people along the way (more like a car share). Sadly, at the end of the stay I went to pay and they'd added 6% VAT and 10% Service Charge to the agreed Agoda price and they wouldn't back down even though on Agoda it said, "What you see is what you pay". I had no option but to pay and I am currently taking the issue up with Agoda ad hopefully they will reimburse, Other 5* hotels work harder for you, example, larger minibar, fruit left in your room etc, coffee machine etc. The hotel lacks the special touches you are paying extra for but I was glad I booked to stay here if only to relax after an amazing trip around a beautiful and amazing country. Hopefully the issue with the VAT and SC can be sorted between Agoda and the Shangri-la as it was a disappointing end to a lovely stay.

Yabshi Phunkhang is a charming boutique hotel with authentic Tibetan style architecture and deco. Unlike other boutique hotels in Lhasa, this one is very clean, from bed sheets to bath room. Besides its traditional exterior and interior, the hotel also equipped with modern plumbing. Staffs are very friendly. They sometimes go out of their way to accommodate our seemingly out-of-ordinary requests. The hotel location could not be any better, it's only 200 meters from the famous Jokhang temple and Barkhor street, at the heart of Lhasa. It could be a bit noisy during the day but was really quite at night. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone who wants to have a taste of traditional Tibetan life.
