🏨 Lhasa Accommodation Guide (Tested & Approved!)

I stayed in Lhasa for 4-5 nights—here’s my honest review of the top 3 hotels I tried! 1️⃣ Cidu Hotel 🌟🌟🌟🌟 ✔ Perfect for first-timers! Offers free train station pickup (we even rode a cargo trike to get there—quirky but fun! 🛺). ✔ Comfy rooms with humidifiers (combat dryness!). ✔ Rooftop café with Potala Palace views—guests get 10% off drinks! ☕🏰 💡 Ideal for: Day 1 recovery + Instagrammable moments. 2️⃣ Guzang Shuhua Inn 🌟🌟🌟 ✔ Aesthetic vibes—Tibetan-style decor with nighttime charm. ✔ Free oxygen + complimentary masks (altitude relief!). ⚠️ Downsides: Tiny rooms, old-school locks, late check-in (2PM). 💰 Pricey—best for a short "experience" stay. 3️⃣ Shengcheng Bookyard 🌟🌟🌟🌟 ✔ Cozy bookstore-hotel hybrid—free glucose water on arrival! 📚💦 ✔ Perks: Potala view rooms & sunny tatami suites. Squat toilets (hygiene win!). 7:30PM movie nights + affordable meals. 🛍️ Bonus: Sells cheaper local snacks (yak jerky, barley cookies) than supermarkets! 📍 All 3 are near Barkhor Street—easy access to Jokhang Temple & Potala Palace (10-min taxi).
