Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The hotel is a restored former residence belonging to an ancient high ranking lama. Set within the old neighborhood of Lhasa it gives you a real Tibetan experience. All the rooms are large, colorful, with a grotto like bathroom and plenty of seating areas. The roof terrace of the hotel gives you a wonderful view of the surrounding mountains and the Potala palace which is lit up at night.
Negative: One of the beds was too hard to comfortably sleep on. It was rather warm outside so we solved it by sleeping on top of the duvet.
Summary: The hotel gives you a real Tibetan experience. Location is wonderful.

Positive: This was just heaven. It’s an old palace of a lama with glorious ornate Tibetan decor and furnishings and colours. The rooms look spectacular. But you soon discover that it’s cunningly furnished and has every possible modern convenience. Excellent shower, comfy beds, lighting, all beautifully done. And a good breakfast too. Location perfect, well inside the old city, a few minutes’ walk to the Barkhor. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Staff also really helpful and warm and kind. It’s a real experience to stay here and enormously much worth it. And what a bargain too. And a fabulous view from the roof.
Negative: Stairs are a bit uneven - best not to stay on an upper floor if you think you might suffer from the altitude.
Summary: Heaven. You really know you're in Tibet here!

Positive: The old building is gorgeous and the room was decorated in a beautiful Tibetan style. Great location in old town. Room heater and humidifier worked well. Location in the old town is wonderful. Staff are super-friendly. Great to stay in a family run place, rather than a Chinese chain hotel.
Negative: The bathrooms were too cold to take a shower - but it wasn’t a problem as we were advised not to shower for our first few days to avoid making altitude sickness worse. The stairs were steep and the floors uneven - fine for me, but someone with mobility issues would struggle.
Summary: Beautiful hotel full of character in a great location
