Tibethostel Scenic Hotel (Potala Palace)

Dies war mein erster Besuch in Tibet und ich war von meinem Aufenthalt sehr beeindruckt. Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend und das Hotel liegt im Stadtzentrum, nur wenige Gehminuten vom Potala-Palast und dem Joklang-Tempel entfernt, der 1–2 Kilometer entfernt ist. Vom Zimmer und Restaurantfenster aus kann man den Potala-Palast sehen, was wirklich wunderschön ist. Das Zimmer ist komplett ausgestattet und ein großes Sauerstoffgerät steht kostenlos zur Verfügung. Insgesamt zähle ich dieses Hotel zu den besten in Lhasa, Tibet.

This hotel is a little gem in Lhasa. First of all, it’s got a lift, which is a must at high altitude. They offered us free breakfast for the first night, but when we requested breakfast for the next two nights (paying), they actually offered it for free as well. The breakfast room has amazing views of the Potala palace. The beds are very comfortable. There is a large coffee table, a large leather stool and an armchair by the window. And that window has another stunning view over the palace (if you’re on the 5th floor). The bathroom has everything you need, including shower flip flops (although we brought and used our own pair). Toiletries were good too. There were also slippers for the room. Another nice touch was that they would bring a fruit platter to the room every evening at 19:00. This included jujube, cherry tomatoes, clementines and pears. All brilliantly sweet. The hotel is very close to the big attractions in Lhasa, including the aforementioned Potala palace, Jokhang monastery and Barkor Street. And most importantly, they had oxygen in the bedroom. A must have! Finally, the staff is very helpful. They helped us book a takeaway for dinner on our first night and organised the free breakfasts the next day.

very close to barkhor street and to malls with many options for food

With nice view and friendship staff, breakfast is nice

Great place to stay in Lhasa. Clean rooms and lovely view.

Nice hotel with spectacular view at rooftop restaurant. Great location, walking distance from a lot of key attractions and shops you can walk to after finishing the tour with your local guide as required for foreigners. Staff were friendly and tried their best to help despite not much English; thanks to wechat :)
