Songzan Linli Xueshan Hupo Jingguan Hotel (Shangri-La Ganden Sumtseling Monastery Scenic Area)

Room was amazing and staffs were friendly. It’s nearby the SongZanLin Lamasery and only 200 meters away from the main entrance.

This hotel gives a very fresh and new first impression. I found out from Quzhen （曲珍）that it only opened in July. The design of the entire hotel is excellent – very chill yet infused with local ethnic characteristics. It's not overly ******* like many guesthouses tend to be; the balance is just right, modern with an artistic feel. It's a place that literary and artistic youths would surely love, with many photo hot spots. Quzhen (曲珍）was my butler for this trip. She is an incredibly enthusiastic girl, providing very attentive service. She was responsive to every request and exceptionally thoughtful. When I felt unwell one day, she immediately arranged for an oxygen tube for me and checked on me regularly. She makes you feel at home. The other staff members are also very warm and friendly. The hotel's location is absolutely top-notch, right next to the Songzanlin Monastery. It takes less than two minutes to walk to the side door. The large floor-to-ceiling window in the room allows you to literally fall asleep looking at the Songzanlin Monastery. It's a highly recommended hotel. If I have the chance to come to Shangri-La again, I will definitely return here. Quzhen (曲珍）feels like a friend waiting for me to come back in Shangri-La. It combines the facilities of a design hotel with the warm service of a guesthouse. I have a few minor suggestions for the hotel: Next time I return, it would be wonderful if there were a few sun-beds on the terrace at the left of the restaurant. Lying there, sunbathing, reading a book while gazing at the Songzanlin Monastery would be super chill. Also, I think the breakfast could offer some Western options, such as bread, fried eggs, sausages, sandwiches, yogurt, coffee & tea etc. Afternoon tea could also be a nice addition. As for the room facilities, everything is very good. It has diffuse oxygen, a humidifier, and many books for reading. It would be perfect if some seating cushions could be added to the bench next to the window along with a small tea table and tea set. In conclusion, the entire experience was excellent. Thank you to every staff member at the hotel, especially Quzhen(曲珍）. I hope to have the opportunity to see you again – my friend in Shangri-La.

In Shangri La, most people would choose to stay on the ancient town side. However, I have chosen to stay at songzhanlin temple side, waking up to this Great Lake view every day. Not to mention the scenery from the room, the hotel itself is a photo spot on level 4, where you get a good view of the temple and the lake. The sunrise view is beautiful, you just have to draw the curtains to see the magnificent morning view. Please do book the rooms with lake view - you can’t miss this. I alsohad some nice wines (from Shang) with the view as well.. the photos cannot lie. The hotel butler (over phone) is very prompt with response and have catered to all our requests and needs. There’s also free temple tickets that come with the room, overall a satisfactory experience — and I would choose to be closer to nature as to staying near the ancient town

Excellent service especially arrangement of private car with driver at the reasonable price. Immediate response to our requests. The food is just right for us. The room facilities are great with a fantastic view of lake, close to historical site of temples. Quiet especially good for traveller. Highly recommended for friends.

The staff are very friendly and nice foods.
