Very pleasant Tibetan hotel with a central courtyard conveniently located for the Potala & Jokhang Temple & the Barkhor street markets. Its a favorite with tour groups [and given current Chinese military & police restrictions there's no way to get to Tibet without being on a tour - though mercifully at time of writing 2 people can qualify as a...

An older but nicely maintained and decorated hotel, with a great location on Beijing Road just a couple of blocks from Barkhor Square and many restaurants. Rooms were huge and well furnished. The lobby was unheated (as are many older buildings in Lhasa) and quite cold in November, but the rooms have individual heating/AC units which kept them adequately warm... More

Stayed here for four nights on our five-week trip through Tibet & Nepal in November-December 2011. My partner and I took the 48-hour train ride from Beijing to Lhasa and I unwittingly booked us second-class cabin tickets thinking it couldn't be that bad. Let me say that after two days in a stuffy, grimy, smelly, cramped train cabin, it was... More

Kyichu Hotel is located on Lhasa's main street next to a busy bus stop, 5 minutes walk from Barkhor Street and Jokhang Temple and about 15 minutes walk from Potala Palace. The hotel entrance is very unassuming but when you walk into the courtyard at the back of the hotel you are transported in a gentile and serene garden where... More

The hotel is right in the heart of the city and on a very busy street, however, moment you enter the hotel, its like... More

We loved our stay at Kyichu in Lhasa. The staff was great and helpful. They have an elevator which really helps with getting to the higher floors (especially when you're getting used to the high altitude). Our room was huge and had 2 double size beds and a couple of sofas with a separate dressing area. Our room also over... More

Caters mainly to Western tourists...most staff speak some English. Except for one notable exception in the restaurant, everyone was helpful and friendly. However do not expect Western standards and facilities,. Breakfast was average, they do have a good Nepali and Tibetan restaurant. . All rooms do not have air conditioning only air coolers.This together with the adjustment to the high... More

With a dizzying number of places to stay in Lhasa, look no further unless you want to spend a mint at the hoity toity St. Regis. I've had the great pleasure of being able to stay at the Kyichu Hotel four times now over the past years and it's become my home away from home in Tibet. This last time... More

We moved here from Hotel Yashi Phunkhang Heritage . It was down the street. We were much happier here. Our room was in the new building and had nice wood floors, not cold concrete like at the Heritage and central heat, not two space heaters placed on the floor. Another difference was the restaurant was open and bright and the... More
