Boutique Hotels in Tibet, China

The service was excellent and the facilities were comprehensive. Since it was the off-season, they generously upgraded our room. We had a direct view of the Potala Palace, which was fantastic. However, the breakfast was a bit disappointing compared to previous reviews; the à la carte Western options, for my personal taste, were a bit like 'dark cuisine' (a humorous way to say it was badly made or unappetizing).

The hotel is beautiful, and the housekeeper and reception service are very thoughtful. In terms of room settings, the bathroom window of the twin room is fully transparent, separated only by blinds, so please pay attention if you mind. The stone pot chicken and ******* food in the restaurant are also great. After returning from Sosong, I finally ate authentic stone pot chicken. It is a restaurant that does not step on thunder. Recommended~

There’s room for improvement for the check in service. I provide my personal id card for check in but the customer service requested me the booking number which I find it ridiculous. The hotel was booked under my name and they supposed could have checked my booking right away. The customer service replied that it was relatively troublesome if only id is provided. I am clueless as to the standard of customer service provided by this 5 stars hotel. The rest of my stay is pleasant.

Facilities: Very complete. Cleanliness: Also very clean. Environment: Decent. Service: Unbeatable. Wi-Fi wasn't great. Location: Unbeatable. Potala Palace Afternoon Tea (stayed 2 nights): Being able to see the Potala Palace was fantastic, and it truly lived up to expectations. Professional Travel Photography: Didn't experience this one myself.

Hampton by Hilton Shannan is a new hotel that only opened at the end of 2024. The hotel's facilities are very complete, all are intelligent voice control, the mattress is very comfortable, and very clean, the room is large, the toilet in the bathroom is a smart toilet, more advanced than the one in my house, can be remote control, remote control smart toilet This is very suitable for me, Because I'm hard on the toilet on the ordinary. We went to the hotel and gave us a free upgrade of the room type, and also sent welcome fruit. The hotel minibar's Coke Qixi, soda water mineral water is free to drink, breakfast variety is many, taste is also very good, this price is very worth it. And one thing worthy of praise is that the lobby manager also helped me book 5 rooms at Hilton Huiting Hotel Lhasa. The price is 80 yuan cheaper than the above. This service can be praised. I will stay here next time I travel to Shannan.

The room was incredibly spacious. The hotel's location is excellent, right next to the city center, and it's just a short walk to Jokhang Temple. The front desk staff were very welcoming and helpful, addressing all our needs. The room was equipped with an oxygen concentrator, which could be used with a nasal cannula or diffuse oxygen, and they thoughtfully provided three cannulas. Complimentary fresh fruit was offered daily. Breakfast was also fantastic and served on the sixth-floor rooftop restaurant, offering stunning panoramic views of the Potala Palace, perfect for watching the sunrise every morning.

Looking at the decor, you can tell it must have been beautiful when it was first built, with distinct ******* characteristics. It basically has all the facilities and services a five-star hotel should offer. However, the problem is that after so many years, the facilities are just too old. The cabinet doors don't close properly, the seating cushions are heavily worn, the old-fashioned toilet is very difficult to use, and the glass is foggy – I'm not sure if it's dirty or just aged. I chose a room with a Potala Palace view, but the cloudy glass really spoiled the experience. There were even leftover toenails from previous guests on the carpet, which was quite disgusting. I also have to mention the mini-bar. There were only 6 cans of Coke and Sprite, with no price tags. I assumed they were complimentary, but when I asked, they were 18 yuan each. Seriously, I've stayed in many five-star hotels. If a mini-bar is going to charge, please at least stock it with sparkling water, orange juice, and beer (if not wine or sparkling wine) to look more professional. If you only have these few bottles, either be generous and offer them for free, or just remove them. The current approach feels a bit cheap. Overall, this hotel definitely needs a renovation.

A hotel worthy of a full 5 stars. Shannan exceeded my expectations and re-examined the Hilton brand. The hotel service, from the moment I arrived, was excellent, attentive, and professional, demonstrating strong brand management. Check-in was prompt, and we were even greeted with warm rhodiola rosea tea. The hotel room was spacious and user-friendly, and I slept very comfortably that night. The breakfast was also exceptional, with a wide selection. The bread was delicious and beautifully presented, and the staff even took the initiative to make local glutinous rice cakes for guests, which were delicious. There are many dining options nearby, including markets, supermarkets, and restaurants, all within walking distance. The hotel also provided evening porridge, milk, and small bread, which I slept soundly after. Due to time constraints, I didn't stay an extra day, which is a shame. I will definitely return to your hotel when I visit Ngari next year, and I'll definitely choose Hilton again if I ever find one.

This was my first time in Lhasa, and when I was booking a hotel, I was immediately drawn to Fanlian's decor. The aromatherapy inside the hotel was very pleasant, and the interior design was exactly my style. Being welcomed with a Hada (******* ceremonial scarf) and hot tea made me feel right at home instantly. The hotel offers many experiential activities like yoga, ******* incense making, and meditation. The room was very comfortable, equipped with a humidifier and diffused oxygen. The warm porridge provided nightly in a thermos was a lovely touch. I've already recommended it to friends planning a trip to Lhasa. Each room also comes with a dedicated butler who is attentive and meticulous, answering any questions promptly. This was a very satisfying stay.
