Cheap Hotels in Shangri-La

"This is a truly unique and charming hotel, with a dignified, antique feel. The wooden stairs, rooms, and floors create a wonderful ambiance. The room was clean, tidy, and well-equipped. Besides the usual disposable amenities, they also provided items like shawls and hats, perfect for taking great photos. There's an oxygen machine in the room, and underfloor heating, too! They offer afternoon tea daily and milk in the evenings. Right outside the hotel is a very popular cafe. You can even get discount cards from the hotel for Thangka painting experiences and travel photography. Lastly, the hotel's location is fantastic; you can see the prayer wheel of Guishan Park right as you step out and turn left."

"Where do I even begin? My overall experience was simply fantastic. Let's start with the courtyard. The entrance has a rustic charm, and the whole courtyard feels elegant and serene. It's clear the owner converted their own home into this guesthouse. There are so many beautiful flowers and plants thriving in the yard, especially a cluster of multi-petaled roses. You can tell the owner has a real passion for life. There are also several cats and two sheep in the courtyard; one of the blue cats has gotten quite chunky and is absolutely adorable! The place feels so lively, and there's a strong sense of local ethnic culture, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The owner contacted us in advance about pick-up and drop-off. The young man who picked us up was very kind – I think he's the owner's son. He reached out to us beforehand and even helped with our luggage. Because the guesthouse isn't on the main street, it's very quiet and perfect for relaxing (though it's still very close to the main street, just a short walk away). Then there's the important part: the room. Since it was the off-season, the guesthouse was pretty quiet, and the owner let us choose our own room. The room has an overall wooden structure, and the decor has a strong, beautiful ******* feel. It was spotlessly clean and tidy, equipped with an oxygen concentrator and a humidifier. In winter, there's underfloor heating and electric blankets – everything you could possibly need. All toiletries were also provided. Next up, breakfast. The owner herself cooked millet porridge, steamed buns, and eggs, along with some side dishes. The matsutake mushroom and meat sauce were especially delicious! They went perfectly with the meal. Now, about the owner's family – they are all incredibly warm and friendly. Chatting with them, you realize they're genuinely kind people. They even gave us recommendations for attractions and tips for our visit. If we came back late and saw the owner, she'd always greet us with a few kind words. Although we only stayed for a short two days, we felt a real sense of belonging. Words can't fully express it, but I'll definitely recommend this place if I come back to Shangri-La or if any friends visit. Finally, I wish the owner lasting joy and health, and a thriving business."

"This hotel is located within the Napa Lake scenic area, boasting beautiful surroundings with stunning views of lush green mountains and fields, as well as many adorable small animals. The hotel facilities are comprehensive, the bedding is very comfortable, and the rooms are equipped with oxygen concentrators and humidifiers, ensuring a peaceful and comfortable night's sleep even at high altitudes. The hotel's butlers and staff provide attentive and warm service, offering appropriate advice and tips to guests. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️ The hotel offers complimentary fruit and delicious sweet soup every evening, which is a lovely and thoughtful touch. I will definitely choose to stay at this hotel again on my next visit."

"The hotel is very close to Dukezong Ancient Town, about a 5-minute walk. The hotel has a great design, and the rooms are quite clean, although the family rooms face the road. It would be even better if the breakfast offered more variety. The room has an oxygen concentrator, and there's free fruit on the first floor for guests to help themselves. Crucially, there's an elevator, so no need to climb stairs, which is really important in high-altitude areas. For parking, you can park right in front of the hotel or next to it."

"Passing through Shangri-La, my top choice was naturally the Shangri-La Hotel, and it truly lived up to its reputation. The hotel is conveniently located near Songzanlin Monastery, Dukezong Ancient Town, and Zaya Manor, making getting around incredibly easy. The hotel itself is charmingly antique and distinctly *******, with unique characteristics yet an undeniable sense of luxury. The rooms, while not huge, are exceptionally comfortable, offering great views and a relaxing atmosphere. What truly stands out, however, is the hotel's service. From the security guards and porters to the front desk, housekeeping, and restaurant staff, everyone was warm, professional, and efficient, making the stay truly delightful. Highly recommend!"

"Check-in was smooth, and I received a complimentary upgrade to an oxygen room with a disposable oxygen tube. The lobby has a self-service coffee machine and a gym. The room came with a projector and an AI speaker (Xiao Du). Overall, my stay was great, with the exception of the breakfast, which was really disappointing. The breakfast staff had terrible attitudes. The food selection was poor, and items weren't refilled promptly when they ran out; some weren't even heated. When I asked a server where the coffee cups were, she just told me to find them myself and suggested I use a bowl if there were no cups left. This is the first time a hotel has ever told me to drink coffee out of a bowl!"

"We had the most amazing stay and Yanlu Library Oxygen Hotel! Firstly, the hotel is in a really convenient location in the old town, close to the shops, restaurants and a short car ride to Songzanlin monostary. The rooms are all really nicely decorated with comfy beds and everything you may need for your stay. Each room even has an oxygen machine in case you are struggling with the altitude which is a thoughtful touch. However, what makes this hotel special is the staff. They are just so helpful and kind. It was our friends birthday while we stayed and they were so helpful with organizing the cake and making sure it stayed a surprise. Throughout our stay, they answered any question quickly about transportation, tourist attractions and the best places to eat. They really made our stay special. Lastly, they had the cutest dog, Bala! He is so gentle and calm! Thank you so much!!!"

"The luckiest choice in Shangri-La is to live in the mountain homestay and they will call when they are just set. Need to pick up very enthusiastic. . Tibetan simple style is warm and comfortable, the hygiene is impeccable, and the bedding is soft and dry. The most intimate thing about the plateau is the warmth of the whole day and sleep at night. The small courtyard is quiet and quiet, and sits idle in the living room on the 2nd floor. Drinking tea and watching the mountain view is particularly pleasant. The boss is very enthusiastic, helping with luggage, patiently informing the precautions against high and anti-reverse, and the uncle of this family is very enthusiastic to invite us to drink tea. Travel is very convenient. Away from the hustle and bustle, sleeping with the breeze of the mountains and forests, the whole trip was gentle and cured by this homestay, and I really recommend it to friends who come to Shangri-La to travel."

"The hotel interior is so classic and nice, most of it is made of wood. The location is not very far from Dukezhong ancient town and there is a halal restaurant nearby but the problem is that the hotel does not provide service to bring your luggage to the hotel, at least have a trolley to put your luggage inside to pull from the roadside to the hotel. As we know roads in ancient towns are made of stone and not flat surfaces which can break your luggage wheel. Only when check in time the owner which is the dad force of the son to pick up our luggage from the north gate but when we check out the son does not want to help us, saying that they don't provide such services, luckily he still willing to help to bring our luggage down from first floor. So next time if you have big luggage maybe you should think twice to choose this Hotel."

"Traveling with my furry child and the whole family, choosing this hotel was a complete win! The pet-friendly policy was such a pleasant surprise. The room was meticulously clean, and the diffused oxygen supply and central air conditioning were fantastic, making our high-altitude stay comfortable and breathable. The courtyard garden is absolutely beautiful, and it's super close to Dukezong Ancient City. The owner was incredibly warm and thoughtful, and so gentle with our pet. The entire stay exceeded our expectations, and we'll definitely choose this place again next time we're in Shangri-La!"
