GGuest User💯 Highly recommended! Shout it out loud!!! If you're hesitating after seeing the reviews, don't hesitate, you absolutely must choose this place! It's a family-run Tibetan-style guesthouse—high-class, Zen-like, clean, and hygienic! The bath towels were soft and fluffy, the mattress and pillows were very comfortable, and the bedding was of high quality, making for a very comfortable sleep. The white areas on the duvet cover and pillows had subtle patterns, a subtle yet detailed touch. The entire environment was thoughtfully designed and had a great feel, perhaps related to the fact that one of the family members is a monk. 👍🏻 There were even ******* script books by the bedside for guests to read, which was wonderful. Breakfast and dinner portions were generous. The food just placed on the table wasn't all served yet, so don't worry! Dinner includes delicious yak yogurt with white or brown sugar, and breakfast includes barley flour, milk, butter tea, tsampa, eggs, cherry tomatoes, and flatbread – all very tasty. The shop also offers ******* clothing experiences, and you can make ******* incense and experience making tsampa. The owners are a young, energetic family of brothers and sisters who have already opened three shops – very capable! Wishing them continued success. Highly recommended!
DDarylThe house was absolutely beautiful! The hosts were very kind and friendly. There were very good mountains for long hikes right behind the house and the views from the top of the mountain were very good. The house was also a medium walk away from the Labrang monastery and we found it very calming to get up early to spin the prayer wheels there. We absolutely recommend this beautiful house and helpful hosts for others.
GGuest UserIt is in the alley next to the White Pagoda, very close to Labrang Monastery. We booked this oldest restaurant, with a simple ******* style and a relatively small space, especially the bathroom. It was still cold at night in August with the air conditioner turned on. Although the hardware is a bit inferior, the service is better. The housekeeper boy and girl are very enthusiastic. They went to the parking lot of the tourist service center to pick us up and help with the luggage. There is also a free yak hot pot. Adults and children are very satisfied. The two cats in the yard are also very cute.
GGuest UserVery satisfied. The boss and his family are very warm and simple. The hygiene is very very clean. I will stay here again next time I come to visit
GGuest UserMy trip to Gannan ended, and I've been home for two days now. I have to add this belated review today.
Location and Natural Beauty
The hotel is nestled on the edge of the Sangke Grassland, offering vast grassland scenery as soon as you step out the door. On our check-in day, the welcoming owner offered to take us for a walk by a nearby stream. Verdant grass lay beneath our feet, dotted with wildflowers, the stream gurgled, and in the distance, cattle and sheep strolled leisurely. It felt like stepping into an untouched natural landscape. This immersive experience, detached from the hustle and bustle of life, was one of the greatest surprises of the trip.
Service is in the Details
What touched us most was the owner's thoughtfulness. Due to our tight schedule the next day, we planned to depart at 7:30 AM. We had planned to skip breakfast, but the owner specifically inquired about our departure time the night before and prepared a hot breakfast the next morning. Bread, milk tea, and side dishes...the simple fare held the most simple warmth, making us feel like family on a cool morning. This selfless enthusiasm far exceeds expectations of ”hotel service.”
Summary
This isn't just a hotel offering accommodations; it's a warm, grassland inn. If you're looking for a place on the Sangke Grasslands where you can experience local hospitality, this is definitely worth choosing. The owner's sincerity and the beautiful grassland scenery will be the most unforgettable moments of your trip.
AAnonymous UserWe stayed three nights at Nirvana Resort in early July and loved our time there. Spectacular location, the grasslands are alive with flowers and birds, and everyone at Nirvana was kind and helpful. We had our own car (ideal if possible) and alongside visiting Labrang Monastery and walking in the nearby hills, we also enjoyed driving around the backroads into Qinghai and immersing ourselves in the landscape. At the end of each day it was perfect to climb the hill to the Sky Bar and drink a beer while watching the land grow dark.
GGuest UserFacilities: There is only one public restroom, which is very inconvenient. It is not convenient to take a shower or use the toilet. Needs to be improved.
Hygiene: Because it is a newly opened B&B, there are only the proprietress and her husband, so they are probably too busy, and the beds are not changed in time.
Environment: The B&B has just been renovated. The decoration is very ethnic and the environment is very good.
Service: The lady boss is very nice. Because I brought Chinese medicine for my children that needed to be refrigerated, she enthusiastically helped me find a refrigerator to store it. She also helped us add a mattress to the room for two. The service was very enthusiastic.
Generally speaking, the boss is very nice and the service is very enthusiastic, but the hardware facilities need to be improved. One bathroom is really inconvenient, and the hygiene needs to be improved. Then there is the need to apply for tax invoices, as some guests need invoices.
HHaloumaliaoThe overall feeling is quite good. The first hotel I stayed in during my self-driving trip in Gannan is located in the area where Labrang Monastery is located, about three kilometers away. It is not on the main street, and next door is a very popular ******* restaurant. The store owner was very welcoming. In the morning, I had a ******* breakfast on the terrace of the ******* house on the second floor, which was quite pleasant. The boss was very enthusiastic and willing to give various suggestions about the trip. He told us about the observation deck of Labrang Monastery.
GGuest UserThe room is simple and clean, the bedding is comfortable, there is a kindergarten under the window, it is very quiet and has a mountain view, there is a parking space in front of the door, and it is very close to the Labrang Monastery Observation Deck
MMuzhen-mimiThe proprietress's family is very friendly. They came into the store to make tea for us. The room is spacious and you can also eat in the store. The dishes are rich. You can directly see the sunrise of the grassland in the store.
