This is supposed to be the very best hotel in Tibet – 4 stars – I can’t see this getting better than 2. Very interesting exterior – as a building became outdated instead of fix it they abandon it. We were in their VIP room and it too had a bed that was ROCK HARD. The view of the mountains from our room was quite nice. The room was nice enough, however it like much of the rest of the hotel was in deep need of improvements/upgrades. The breakfast area was scary; various food items which looked like they reheated them from the previous day. Coffee is instant, no cereal for starters. The food was far better at the Lhasa Hotel. The hotel caters to high end western groups but is evidently struggling to keep up. They had closed the three restaurants and had put up a buffet for groups and paying customers alike in an old part of a ballroom. We wouldn’t consider staying here again.
