I really liked this family owned hotel with it's beautiful Tibetan décor and rooftop restaurant. My room had everything you could want- very nice! I didn’t see anyone smoking like the previous reviews mentioned- do be aware that it seems like pretty much everyone smokes in Tibet though :). I booked a tour through Great Tibet Tour which included accommodation was very happy to be able to stay at a locally owned property rather than a chain hotel; and bonus- breakfast buffet was included! There is a mini tour video of the hotel on the Great Tibet Tour website if you want to check it out.

we stayed 3 times at the Dekang during our stay in Tibet. Rooms are vey big, clean, confortable. Nice Tibetan decoration style. Some rooms have views of the Potalal. 24 hours hot water. Staff at reception can speak quite good English, and they are really very nice and welcoming, especially a young lady. There is a terrace on the top floor, where you enjoy a drink or read a book, very quiet. Also a massage salon on the top floor, and a beauty parlor/hairdresser on the 1st floor (we did not try). The restaurant of the hotel is really good, clean, reasonnably priced, with Tibetan/Indian/Nepalese food, also a few western dishes (hamburgers, pastas, soups). Good buffet breakfast with quite a lot of choices. The hotel is located in a small street 10 minutes walking distance from Barkhor square. In the same street, there is a good Chinese restaurant, small shops (fruits, water, biscuits), a nice small bar just in front of the hotel. We liked the Dekang hotel very much and felt nearly at home during our stay there ! highly recommended !

We loved this hotel. The Tibetan interior decor was beautifully authentic, the staff were so helpful, the rooms comfortable, so we have no hesitation in recommending it. Its an easy walk to the main street. In fact you can walk to the Jokhang and Barkhor and even to the Potala from here. Taxi's are reasonable if you don't feel like the exercise. Just know that some of the drivers are illiterate and may not be able to read the hotel information or maps when shown. Persist and you will find one. Rickshaw drivers can be a bit pesky!

My tour agency put me here for the 3 nights in Lhasa.
Room is big, spacious and clean and 1 big bed to myself. Toilet is clean and has hot shower, however you need to run the water for about 5-10 mins first. Above my own expectations. They have cable TV, but the channels are in Chinese. It's a good hotel by my standards.
They have a restaurant within the hotel (called Tsampa Restaurant), which serves decently good buffet breakfast in the morning. One morning, there wasnt any buffet breakfast, but you could order food from the chef/kitchen. (I guess the occupancy rate was low for that night, and to save cost/food, they did that, which wasn't really a problem, in fact i like it this way as it doesnt waste food). Had a good dinner there too. There's a roof top bar which was not opened but i did have a view of the potala palace from there.
The staff are friendly and they do offer oxygen bottles (20 RMB ) if you need it. There are many groceries stalls nearby, so water or snacks is not a problem. On the left of the hotel, there is this local food stall that sells noodles/snacks that is always busy. The food is really cheap if you compare with the restaurants in the old street or the hotel. On the right side of the hotel, there is really nothing much there, so you can skip that area.
Location would not be so ideal if you are always going to the old town, it is located across the old town inside a small lane. On the map, you probably need 5-7 mins to walk to the old town, but you probably take about 10-15 mins to walk there instead, due to acclimatization.
Room for improvement : They could add electrical plugs at the bedside, for charging of phones/camera/etc instead of locating them at the door or at the height of 1.5m (not very accessible) installing white lights on the ceiling rather than the orange lights, which makes the room very very dim at night.
Overall a good decent hotel to stay, just that it is abit off from the old town

After all, this is Chinese Tibet, not exactly in the middle of a first world city/country. So I was pleasantly surprised. That said, it wasn't fabulous based on our standards, but perfectly adequate. The rooms are a decent size, clean linen, plenty of hot water, very friendly reception staff, good location not far from the old city and all it's sights, small grocery store just over the road, noodle shops just near by, oxygen canisters for sale in reception (re-assuring!), and a superb view of the Potala from the rooftop bar. (They told us it was closed for renovation, but our guide said that is what they have been saying for years. Another review also mentioned it is still closed! Apparently the reason is that there is a police/army station just below, and as it is an offence to take pictures of those buildings, they rather keep the bar closed to ensure no problems with any of their guests.) However we managed to sneak past a staff member when he went out to retrieve his mop and bucket! I found the breakfast good, but the evening meal we had there was very disappointing, and poor value for money. Sleep was poor - but due to the altitude, and not the bed! However, I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to go to Tibet, and had no real reason to complain about anything. I felt the Tibetan owners were doing a good job in providing western services and facilities that don't come naturally to them. I would definitely stay here again.

We stayed there in fall 2013 as part of a tour and found it disgusting. The bathroom rug had never been cleaned, our room produced a silverfish, and a cockroach showed up in someone else's. The lobby ceiling sprung a leak and the upstairs hall carpet - again NEVER cleaned - was soaked. The lights in the halls are practically nonexistent, which is a good thing. Find somewhere else to stay.

If you want a room with a broken air-conditioner/heater ... book into the Dekang! If you want a room without ANY hot water for a morning shower ... book into the Dekang! If you want to drink warm beer ... book into the Dekang!

This is a very nice little hotel. The food was exellent as we had a Nepalese chef. The problem is that in my room 8204 or 204 as you use the numbers, there was a tremendous amount of sewer gas and that is because the plumbing is not connected to the drain. I had to keep placing towels between the pipes to make them connect, but the maids would remove them everyday so the room again would have the sewer gas. This problem should be corrected.

We stayed here as part of a very expensive tour. If we would have chosen to stay and pay for this hotel ourselves I may have been less disappointed. Our room was fine apart from the toilet that leaked water over the bathroom floor and it was freezing. We were told that there was no heating in the whole of the hotel.
We asked to be sent to a new room but it also had a leaking toilet so we stayed where we were.
Reception did kindly send an electric heater to our room however.
There was wi-fi but it was only available in the lobby area and it regularly cut out. I also couldn't connect to it for most of the time I was there.
Location isn't great, it's a short walk from the old town but staying in the old town would be much better.
The lobby areas bizarrely smelt strongly like petrol when we arrived which was a bit unnerving.
There was no shower gel or soap to use in the shower as it had run out it and was not replenished while we were there. There were toiletries that you could pay for if you wished, a kettle with no tea bags and a hair dryer that didn't work.
On the upside there was hot water, the shower had good pressure, and the food and staff at breakfast were good.
