I chose to stay at Xiangbalinka because I wanted to go to Kumbum Monastery early. The lobby decor is quite grand, and the front desk lady was very gentle and had a great attitude. The room has an overall old-fashioned style, but the stay was quite nice and comfortable. I was especially happy lying in bed looking at…

The hotel staff were very warm and welcoming, making us feel really comfortable. The setting is great too—only 1.5 km from Kumbum Monastery, and even closer to the Tibetan Culture Museum, which we visited as well. Getting around was very convenient.

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 →
