Good hotel in the center of the city. Only a couple of minutes away from Jokhang and 15 minutes walking from Potala Palace. It is the perfect place to explore the city. Breakfast is buffet and is ok but it is always the same. More

Second floor room, street facing - organized as part of a tour. You know where I'm going with this, right? Actually the Yak ain't half bad. Room was traditional Tibetan decor, two single beds, desk, chairs, with plenty of amenities ( bathrobes, slippers, daily toothbrush kits, soap, shampoo, tea). Housekeeping swept and mopped hardwood floors in room daily. Tv had... More

We stayed here for 3 days upon arrival in Lhasa to acclimatize to the altitude. Location is good just across from Bakhor square. However, we were allocated a main road facing room as courtyard inward facing rooms are smaller. On the 1st night, we were woken up at 2am to see Tibetan lady being beaten & forced into a SUV...

We stayed at the Yak Hotel for 4 nights in October 2011. The location of the hotel is great, right in the Tibetan quater of town close to both the Potala and Jokhang. The breakfast was pretty poor but the view from the roof top was fantastic. We has room 9207 which is on the 2nd floor at the back.... More

the location of the hotel is fab, make sure you get a room at the top floor as they seem to be the best. view from the roof top to Potala and the hills, free wifi available. Breakfast as buffet at Dunya was nice, but only of its included. More

NO elevators, many stairs; small decent LOOKing, crammed rm. Spacious bath. Noisy hotel w/loud laughing & talking til 2 & 3 a.m. Advertised business center was NOT open, NO WiFi. Good location but not very clean; thick carpet was filthy with many stains & what looked like 2 years top filth. Requested it be vac'd but never saw or heard... More

Stayed three nights. Clean, cozy rooms. Bathroom so and so, some broken light switches and such. But clean. At the fourth floor I had to wait for 10 min for the hot water, but eventually there was some. Poor water pressure in the shower. Not sure other hotels in town boast better showers, either. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Nice... More

This is a supposedly 3 star hotel but why remains a mystery. We stayed there for 2 days on our arrival in Lhasa in July and 2 days before we left in August. On arrival we requested a non smoking room and were allocated a room on the 4th floor which we were assured was non smoking. When we got... More

We had a lovely large room - a bit on the dark side - decorated in traditional Tibetan style Large comfortable beds (twin room but the 2 beds were both very large singles), big bathroom. Hot water for the shower could be erratic but if you asked reception they seemed to be able to make it happen. Carpet was very... More
