Rooms are OK, but without heating. Slightly out of city centre. Good for a 1 night stay if you can get a good price. Remarkable is the military style drilling of the staff in the afternoon. Apart from the fact that some of the girl servants couldn't stop their uncontrolled laughter, it would be scary !

Three reasons not to stay at this hotel: 1. Dishonest staff 2. No hot water 3. Poor room heating Stayed here on Nov 27, 2011 for one night. On check-out, they witheld my 100 yuan room key deposit claiming I burnt their kettle - the one that sat on the shelf unplugged and unused throughout my stay. I did not... More

The hotel is dirty and dark. Difficult to tell what the room numbers are because it's so dark. 3 Floors without elevator. Foul-smelling bathrooms. Windows don't close, so expect to be very cold at night. The bed is as hard as concrete. Breakfast includes steamed buns, hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, coffee. Very basic hotel stay.

Where to start... the rooms were dirty, the sheets had holes in them and one bed looked like the sheets hadn't been changed. Watermarks and peeling paint on the ceiling. Mouldy, dirty bathroom and we didn't dare put our feet on the filthy dirty carpet. This is lower than budget - this is sub-terrain basement level accommodation

Recently stayed here for a backpacking trip to Everest area. Hotel located in quiet area of Shigatse town. Numerous shops nearby. Probably underwent refurbishment as rooms not like in previous postings. Rooms were reasonably clean and so were the toilet and bathroom. Room noise insulation is reasonable. Had to carry heavy luggage to room in 3rd Floor via stairway. (... More

Spent one night here on our way to Mt. Everest base camp. Hotel is in a very bad shape even though it is in a good location. Room carpets are dirty and smelly. No shower curtain in the bath room. Stains are everywhere. Breakfast is terrible. We can see that other tourists are also not happy with the hotel. Our... More
