4-Star Hotels in Tibet, China

This hotel was definitely out of our expectations. New and modern. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Airport drop off and pick up service is available 24/7. Literally just come to the reception and staff will arrange transportation immediately. No need to make any reservations. Hotel room was big and clean. Modern design with technology. All the amenities were well equipped. Comfortable bed to rest after your long journey and to get prepared for next day flight. Big big thumb up.

Stayed at the Phuntsok Kasang View Hotel in Lhasa during the National Day holiday, and it was a fantastic experience! The location is unbeatable—just a few minutes' walk to the commercial street and very close to the Potala Palace, making getting around super convenient. The viewing terrace offers an incredible view directly facing the Potala Palace; it's breathtaking day and night, and perfect for photos. The service was even more heartwarming: the room came equipped with medical-grade oxygen, which provided great peace of mind for altitude sickness. They also delivered complimentary fresh fruit, yogurt, and drinks every day. Such great attention to detail. Highly recommended!

The hotel's location is excellent, and the front desk staff were very efficient with check-in. It's very close to Potala Palace, making it super convenient for getting around. All the staff were warm and welcoming, the room was clean and tidy, and the night view was fantastic. Guys, you can book this place with your eyes closed – I'd definitely come back if I have the chance!

After comparing several options for my trip to Lhasa, I chose the Goraka Boutique Hotel, and its location truly earned bonus points. It's just a few minutes' walk to Jokhang Temple and the Barkhor Street kora route, making it incredibly convenient for exploring, dining, and sightseeing without long commutes. The hotel itself is a 400-year-old former Nepalese consulate building, and the Gesar Gyapo Museum is right in the courtyard, exuding a strong ******* architectural charm. My favorite spot was the ground-floor courtyard area; it has a wonderful ambiance. Sitting there, sipping sweet tea or juice, soaking up the plateau sun, is incredibly peaceful and stress-relieving. The room came with a thoughtful 'plateau survival kit' – face masks, hair care products, essential oil makeup remover, and wet wipes were all provided. These little items saved me the hassle of preparing them myself for a high-altitude trip. The courtyard setting is perfect for photoshoots, whether it's for casual snapshots or video transitions, it looks great. The staff were very gentle and kind. It's a quiet oasis amidst the hustle and bustle; after exploring the lively Barkhor Street, returning to the tranquil courtyard for a peaceful rest was wonderful. Overall, my stay was excellent, and I'd definitely recommend considering this place when visiting Lhasa.

Overall, this hotel is quite good. Its location is very close to the Potala Palace, just a short walk away. It's also not far from Barkhor Street. Parking can be a bit challenging, requiring good driving skills. However, the security guard who directs parking is very nice. The service staff are quite enthusiastic. The breakfast offers a wide variety of choices and was the best hotel breakfast I had during my time in Tibet. I didn't experience the afternoon tea because we arrived at 7 PM. Free oxygen is available, and they even ask for your arrival time in advance and turn on the oxygen machine an hour or two before you get there. The rooms are equipped with a small tea table, which is convenient for tea drinking. In the hallway, there are various tea sets in a disinfected cabinet for guests to use. We also received some complimentary snacks in the room, which were quite good. I didn't get to experience the sleep aid package. All in all, if you're not driving in Lhasa and want to stay downtown, this hotel is a good choice.

This was my third stay at Thangka, and it has noticeably declined compared to my stays in 2018 and 2023. The main reason I chose it again was its proximity to Jokhang Temple. However, this time I experienced significant and continuous noise at night. The next morning, during breakfast, I realized the noise was coming from a machine in the 4th-floor restaurant or the self-service laundry area. I promptly checked out the next day and informed the front desk. The front desk attendant was very kind and assured me that she would report it immediately. I hope Thangka improves.

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.

I love this hotel. Staff were very friendly and caring. Due to high altitude sickness I wanted to buy Pocari Sweat on Mei Tuan but didn't have a local phone number to place the order, the ladies at the front desk helped me out. They also upgraded me to a room with the view of the Potala Palace. The room is nice, clean and spacious with oxygen supply and lots of bottled water provided. There is a big shopping mall 300 meters away (about 10-15 minutes walk) which you can find restaurants there. Free laundry service is a big plus as I spent 6 nights in this hotel. I feel the price is absolutely worth it for the customer service they provided, and I would love to try the hotels under this chain (Hilton) next time when I travel to other cities in the future.

This was the only hotel on Sichuan-Tibet Highway 318 with underfloor heating, which kept the room incredibly warm – no need for AC! The room was spacious and very clean, making for a super comfortable stay. We even got a free upgrade to a room with a fantastic view of the snow-capped mountains right outside the window. They provide scheduled oxygen supply at night, and I didn't experience any altitude sickness. Highly recommend this hotel!

It's a standard four-star hotel, both in terms of facilities and amenities. The room was newly renovated and the facilities were decent. The breakfast, however, was really disappointing. I booked a night because it's close to Norbulingka, but actually, due to the hotel's location, it's a 10-20 minute walk from the entrance. Since I needed to conserve my energy at high altitude, I ended up taking a taxi round trip.
