安靜舒適！老闆好客熱心！是個旅遊放鬆的好地方，熱心

great hotel near old town! very friendly owners who made sure we were comfortable. they gave us tea, snacks, and recommendations for things to do and places to eat. ask trip.com for the owners wechat info to figure out parking and the hotel location.

This is my kind of place. I stayed in the 4 bed (2 bunk beds). There are drawers and and shelves to put away your belongings in a nice sturdy bunk bed that doesn't make noise when your move. It is a typical Chinese mattress, however I found it comfortable. It also has a heated mattress pad with 3 settings. The shower is a small room that is all tiled and clean, and it's separated from the men's shower. The toilets are also separated and it's a heated toilet seat. Rulan,the innkeeper, is super friendly and arranged discounted tickets to the Songzanlin Lamasery one day and the Pudacou National park another day. When I became anxious about the bus, Rulan was supportive when I texted her. One night she served a really nice tea to me and the next she brought me heated soy milk. I expecially like that there is a small garden and a outside rooftop deck. Washing machine is available for 15CNY and can be hung on the upper deck which has a nice view!

The place is amazing, the view from the room is incredible and the host is very kind and helpful. Highly recommended!

A basic hotel, good location. It was not easy to find. The inn was hidden behind other buildings on the main road. It was snowing when we stayed, the room insulation was not perfect, so make sure to use the heater and the electric blanket. Due to the high altitude and cold weather, bathing was not encouraged, so make sure to come prepared.

Good location slightly up town Nice owner Recommend

It is easy to reach by taxi. Madame of hotel offered me hot tea and also breakfast for free. But doing laundry is pretty complicated in the hotel.

Perfect location just on the outskirts of the old town. The room is big and very cute. The door can't be closed tightly (due to the original design of the building) but you have a heater, heated blanket and a heated toilet seat to keep you warm 😉 Friendly and competent staff. One thing to keep in mind: when it is cold outside, this inn uses wood for its oven, so you might smell burnt wood in your room. That nevertheless didn't spoil our experience! Highlights recommended. Also, nice view from the terrace!

Pros: The owner is very nice and will help you as much as possible. The hotel itself was once home to a local family and is set back away from all the noise of the main square. It’s still in the old city and close to places to eat, bars, etc. Newly renovated rooms, bathroom, and shower. Everything is clean. There are heated blankets on the bed for when it’s cold. Cons: Hard mattress (it’s tolerable though). Bathrooms are apart so you need an umbrella to get there when it’s raining. No lockers in the shared room and you can’t lock the door, so you have to carry all valuables with you. The hotel front door is left open, even when no one is there. Suggestion: If someone is staying in the hotel, leave the lights on in the courtyard and walkway so we aren’t coming back in the dark. That would greatly improve the experience.
