It took three room changes to find a usable one—broken mirrors and leaking showers were common, and the facilities are indeed quite dated. But the location is great, just a few minutes' walk to Barkhor Street and Jokhang Temple. I also visited Ramoche Temple along the way, and a taxi to the Potala Palace cost only…
The room was kept very tidy, the bed was soft, the quilt was warm, and I slept soundly. The hotel is right by Barkhor Street, within walking distance to the Jokhang Temple and Ramoche Temple, so I strolled around along the way—very convenient. In the morning, I took a taxi to the Potala Palace before heading out, and…

Good to know
Does this hotel accept foreign guests?
Star-rated hotels — especially chains and anything four-star and above — almost always register foreign passports as routine. Smaller local hotels sometimes lack the foreign-guest license. Since 2024 hotels officially may not refuse foreign guests: if refused, call or SMS 12345. Book refundable when unsure.
How do I get there?
Show the big Chinese name above to any taxi or DiDi driver, or tap Find in Amap for turn-by-turn navigation. The Chinese name is what drivers read — English names are rarely recognized.
What does the star rating mean?
China's official hotel star rating is assessed by tourism authorities (GB/T 14308 standard): ★★★ = comfortable and reliable, ★★★★ = high-end with full services, ★★★★★ = luxury. It certifies quality, not foreign-guest policy — that's why we flag it separately.
How do I pay there?
Set up Alipay or WeChat Pay with your foreign Visa/Mastercard before you fly — QR payments work at virtually every hotel. Foreign credit cards are accepted at the front desk of most star-rated hotels. Full payments guide →
