Xiahe Hotels with Gym

On the Gannan Great Ring Line, if you go straight through it, Xiahe is the first stop. If you go through it backwards, Xiahe is the last stop. This time I went through it backwards. After being beaten by various hotels and B&Bs along the way, I stayed in Xiahetian. Zhu International Hotel gives you the feeling of surviving a disaster and returning to civilized society. . This should be the best hotel in Xiahe, right? In addition, although there are several so-called ”wild luxury” hotels in Gannan, it is not recommended to stay in them. I have seen almost all of them along the way. The location is just like that, there is no exclusive view, the facilities are not good, and the price is extremely high. Before departure I originally wanted to experience a few of them, but I found that it was completely unnecessary. Gannan does not need to live in a scenic spot like Ili. You can enjoy the entire scenic spot to yourself in the evening and morning. The best scenery is on the road. . The hotel is very close to Labrang Monastery and you can walk there. It is of 4-5 star standard in terms of hardware and decoration. There are many hidden-style decorations. The room price of about 400 in the off-season is acceptable, and it also comes with breakfast. . The interior of the room is a relatively old-school business hotel configuration, but it doesn't feel very outdated. The double bed room is more than 30 square meters, with floor-to-ceiling windows. The view outside the window is not bad. There is a chaise bed by the window and a standard work desk. It is suitable for everyone during the journey. For me, who has to organize videos and photos at night, this is very important. . The room comes with free ice water and two bags of loose tea. The bathroom has a single basin and no bathtub. The shower room is okay for bathing. At least you don't have to worry about not having enough hot water. . The breakfast the next day was okay, the best among so many hotels in Gannan. The cold dishes included pig ears and chicken feet, at least there was meat. The hot dishes were all vegetarian, but it was necessary to add some green leafy vegetables. There were also a few The Chinese dim sum can fill your stomach. It seems strange that there is no freshly cooked noodles stall, but there is no problem if you are full. . Generally speaking, this hotel is convenient for traveling, has good hardware, and has no issues with hygiene. If you are in Xiahe, I recommend staying there.

My stay at Nirvana Hotel was very pleasant and certainly different to other places I have stayed in the past. Wandhi Khar, the owner, is very welcoming. On the first day, he offered to take me to Sangke Grasslands as he was heading to Nirvana Resort. Eventually we started talking and I ended up at his resort which actually overlooks the grasslands. He was kind enough to stop along the way for me to take pictures and at his property, he showed me the path to take to go for a walk and enjoy the grasslands. He even offered me his coat as the temperature was cool. After my walk, we (including Joe) kept talking over a few glasses of beer after which, Joe dropped me back at the hotel in Xiahe. Wandhi Khar invited me back to the resort the following day but after walking all day long around Labrang monastery, I was very exhausted and sadly could not make it. I highly recommend Nirvana Hotel and Nirvana Resort. I’m well travelled (+50 countries) and it’s not often you meet people who will go out of their way. Wandhi Khar is very generous and welcoming. At the hotel, his staff was very helpful. For example she called the bus station to double check the departure time etc. I hope to come back and visit again in the future.

This is the best hotel I stayed in during my trip to Gannan. The room is spacious and very close to Labrang Monastery. The hand-caught mutton in the hotel restaurant is good, as are the fried lilies and wood-fired turkey. The hotel is only about 500 meters away from Nabuleng Temple. After dinner, you can go around Labrang Temple.

Nirvana resorts location is so stunning, set in the beautiful grasslands and surrounded by mountains, it was truly stunning. The tent was huge and bed comfy - some things are basic such as toilet and shower offsite but you know this going in. It was great to meet and talk to Wandhikhar, and all his staff who were lovely and helpful.

A Tibetan-style hotel, only about 500 meters away from Labrang Monastery, it feels a bit petty bourgeois. The environment in the room and restaurant is very clean! The landlady also upgraded us to a business standard room for free. Reviews said that the curry rice and milk tea in the Nepali-style restaurant on the first floor are delicious, if we arrive at 8pm. Unexpectedly, there were still many people in the restaurant and no seats available. By 9pm we finally had Nepalese curry rice and milk tea. The two of us still couldn't finish a pot of milk tea. After the boss heated it up, he let us take it to the room to drink. The boss's service was so heartwarming. By the way, when we arrived, the boss helped us deliver our big suitcases directly to the room. I particularly like their style and atmosphere.

The location of the hotel is very good, there is free parking, the main square is downstairs, and the square dance is a bit early in the morning. The breakfast is quite rich, suitable for traveling with children. There are portable oxygen cylinders for sale at the front desk, which is very good.

It's just accommodation, it doesn't feel like a luxurious standard room, the interior windows, the hotel is still clean, the Tibetan boss is too old to be busy. Labrang Monastery is still a sacred place in the hearts of Tibetans, but it is generally open and relatively commercial. In summer, the temperature is very suitable, and it is convenient to eat around, and the price is fair.

Service: The service is very good. Several service staff provided service throughout the whole process, helped carry the luggage, and delivered everything needed to the room. They were very considerate! The bathroom needed an extra electric heater, which was immediately arranged! Facilities: There was plenty of hot water, and the heater was very warm, even sweating! We turned it up to 18 degrees at night and opened the window to avoid the heat, so we didn't have to worry about the cold at all! The bathroom was equipped with more things than many five-star hotels. The bath towels and face towels were disposable, which was very hygienic and convenient! At night, we stayed on the grassland to watch the stars and participate in the bonfire party. We could see the snow-capped mountains from afar. The tents were far apart and the privacy was also very good! It was really great value for money!
