It was very quiet during our stay at the Lhasa Hotel in April 2010, as in, the hotel is very large and there were very few people there. The large restaurants were empty and the staff were sitting in the dark - when we entered, they quickly greated us and turned on the lights...I think they had to round up the chef to cook our dinner which was very good. There were a few more people at breakfast - the food wasn't too bad.

The room we had was your basic room c/w typical hard beds. The mini fridge was handi for beverages. There is O2 in the room if needed.

The hotel seems well located but you'll need to take a cab to get to the Potala Palace and old town.

Although I didn't use the spa / massage facilities, it looked nice and the staff was ready and offered to provide whatever service you wanted :)

Let me start by saying that this is the only hotel I stayed at in Lhasa. While it is clear that it does not attain Western standards, I did not experience any of the negative issues described in other reviews. I stayed in two rooms on the fifth floor and they were both more than OK. The staff spoke fluent English and was generally helpful. The only huge problem I had was the construction going on through the night just in front of my window, and this every night expect one night when it rained. If you stay at this hotel, make sure the construction has been completed or else avoid it altogether.

Awful hotel! The lobby is beautiful and deceiving. The pool is an empty basin, the grounds have nomads camped in them with grazing sheep, the rooms are pitiful with unrepaired water leak stains on the wallpaper, the airconditioning and hair dryer don't work, the carpets are never hoovered. We coudn't order a meal outside main meal times, the tea house does not have an english menu or staff who can offer any ideas on ordering. The worst breakfast I have ever eaten in any hotel in the world - the remnants of lunch and breakfast are recycled - the toast is ice cold, rock hard and had mould on it after 3 days. The tea and coffee were undrinkable, the juice was made from concentrate. Most food was cold and stale. Reception staff are friendly, but this does not make up for the hotel.

Hotel Lobby gone thru remodel. Room comfortable but are in need of remodel. Breakfast more than average.
