4-Star Hotels in Lhasa

The rooms are equipped with oxygen and humidifiers, which is very useful, and you can also use them for nasal breathing. The hotel staff are all very enthusiastic and attentive, and they will proactively help with luggage, even offering Rhodiola. The stay was very comfortable, the bedding was cozy, and the room was clean and hygienic. The hotel also provides an indoor shuttle service, which can take you to attractions like the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple, making transportation very convenient. It's also within walking distance to many places. Although it's not in the city center, transportation is still easy. The hotel courtyard is beautiful, with a ******* style, and you can even dress up in ******* clothing for beautiful photos. Breakfast is plentiful, with lots of fruits and vegetables, and they replenish the dishes very promptly.

A very unique and beautiful hotel. The rooms are spacious with 24-hour underfloor heating (the temperature is adjustable, so you can adjust it to your comfort). The bathroom is also spacious with a separate wet and dry area (though it doesn't have underfloor heating, which is a minor drawback). The view from the rooms is the most beautiful part; you can take amazing photos just by sitting outside the room, far more beautiful than strolling through Barkhor Street. The traditional kitchen on the first floor also greatly exceeded my expectations. The food was exquisite, and the service was top-notch; it would be a popular restaurant even in a first-tier coastal city.

The room facilities were quite good, but the service attitude was very poor, which significantly lowered the overall experience. Pros: The room facilities were relatively new, with a desk and office chair, a small sofa, and convenient amenities like a microwave. Aside from a tear in the carpet, the cleanliness was acceptable. The breakfast offered a good variety, though it was quite crowded. Cons: While one can't expect too much service at this price point and positioning, it's arguably the worst service in its class! Even budget-friendly chains like HUAZHU (Huazhu Group) feel lightyears ahead. Several points of dissatisfaction: Upon check-in, there was a queue, and three people behind the counter seemed to be struggling with something. I waited behind them for a while, and no one acknowledged a new guest had arrived or came over to help. After a long time, I saw someone move to the side, so I approached. Still, no one asked if I was checking in. I walked over and asked if the previous guest was finished, and only then, after being given a look that said 'What are you doing here?', did they start processing my check-in. After taking my ID, they immediately moved to a separate counter (a clearly distinct spot) without telling me to move there. I had to awkwardly move myself. They only provided basic breakfast times for my check-in information and didn't mention anything about the complimentary drinks included in my reservation, which I didn't need anyway so I didn't ask later. The window of my room faced a fence with cigarette butts and other trash scattered below. It was arguably worse than the interior of the room, but it was a basic room type, and a view wasn't a selling point, so I didn't pay too much attention. During check-out, after returning the room card, it took a moment to confirm. No one said 'please wait' or anything, so I just awkwardly stood there. As I left, I said 'thank you,' and was ignored without even a glance. It's clear that the staff here has almost no service awareness. Perhaps this hotel is very confident in its hardware and brand power and isn't too concerned about customer feelings and feedback. However, as a traveler, especially as the last hotel on a self-driving trip along the Sichuan-Tibet highway, it was very disappointing. Almost every other hotel on this trip, expensive or cheap, despite some flaws, had a far better service attitude than this one.

When I first arrived in Lhasa, I stayed at Jicai, primarily because of its cleanliness and its proximity to the Potala Palace and Barkhor Street. My experience after checking in was excellent. After my trip to Nyingchi and Mêdog, I booked Jicai again. If you experience altitude sickness, the lobby provides an oxygen concentrator, and the rooms even have diffused oxygen supply. I had wanted to try breakfast in Lhasa, so on my last day, I bought the hotel's breakfast and discovered their noodles (fen) are really good. I regretted not booking a room with breakfast included. If you're still debating whether to book breakfast, my advice is to go for it if you like sour and spicy noodles, because their breakfast noodles are delicious. Delicious, delicious! Front desk service was good, and honestly, Jicai offers great value for money. Highly recommended.

I found this hotel on a ranking list. All the other hotels were over a thousand, so this one seemed reasonably priced. It was raining when we arrived, and the front desk staff came out to greet us. The security guard even helped us park across the street, which was very thoughtful service. Once we got into the room, I noticed we could only see a tiny bit of Potala Palace. I thought to myself, 'This is it? For 800? The owner must have paid for promotion.' My husband went downstairs because I was a bit hungry and asked the security guard where he could get me some instant noodles. The security guard went and got them himself. When we checked out, they helped us take our luggage to the parking lot across the street. The service truly gets full marks. The coffee at breakfast was amazing, it was freshly made, not from the usual self-service machine. Full marks for that too. Next time I'm in Ngari, I'll definitely stay here again.

If you're coming to Lhasa and want a hotel with history and atmosphere, look no further than the Gurkha Hotel! This is a 400-year-old historic building, formerly the Nepalese Consulate, and now the Gesar Japo Museum. Stepping inside feels like traveling back in time to old Tibet, completely immersed in ******* culture. 🌿 **The courtyard ambiance is divine!** The Tibetan-style courtyard on the first floor gets amazing sunlight and is lush with greenery, creating an incredible atmosphere! Relax in the courtyard, sip on a special sweet tea, or enjoy some juice or coffee for a leisurely afternoon tea. You might also want to try the local yak yogurt and dried cheese curds – a delicious blend of sweet and milky flavors. ✅ **Amazing perks when you stay!** ▫️ Free use of hotel ******* clothing (10:30 AM - 10:30 PM), which you can wear out to explore Barkhor Street. ▫️ 10 complimentary courtyard travel photos (taken by a partner studio; makeup/premium outfits are an additional charge). ▫️ Free admission to the Gesar Japo Museum. ▫️ Rooms come with a high-altitude amenity kit: face masks, hair oil, makeup remover wipes, and wet wipes – thoughtful details. ▫️ Unlimited free sweet tea in the courtyard. 📍 **Unbeatable location!** Right on Barkhor Street's Kora (pilgrim circuit), just a 3-minute walk to Jokhang Temple. You can easily pop back to the hotel to rest whenever you get tired from exploring. It's perfect for travel photography and creating instant video content. The service is attentive and warm – staying here is definitely the right choice when you're in Lhasa!

It's close to Guo Street, making transportation very convenient. The only downside is that the oxygen supply wasn't as good as I expected; I woke up in the middle of the night with a headache.

Honestly, it was much better than I expected! The room was quite spacious and clean, which made me feel really comfortable. The price was also very reasonable. The front desk lady was excellent and very welcoming. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in town.

The room facilities were excellent, and free oxygen was provided at 8:00 PM. The breakfast had a wide variety of options and tasted quite good. The lobby reception staff were very helpful. The hotel's location was good, and taxis were readily available. It also had a courtyard, small garden, and pond, making for a beautiful environment. Thank you!

The hotel isn't to far from the Portola Palace (a short taxi trip). I wouldn't say its a true 4 star hotel. The room was a good size, quiet and didn't smell of cigarette smoke. The room was a little worn out; I couldn't get the TV to work, the mirror on the wet bar area was cracked, there were marks to the walls where paintings/pictures had once been. Most annoying was the shower cubicle and the shower over the bath had only cold water! On my last morning the power was off in my area of the hotel and the lift was not working due to the power outage. The hotel staff do not speak English, but one lady working on reception was especially nice and helpful and we were able to communicate by using the translation app. There are lots of restaurants near by, but next time I think I'd prefer to stay closer to the Portola Palace.
