How to choose a place to stay when traveling in Tibet?

With the development of Tibet’s tourism industry, the accommodation industry in Tibet is becoming more and more mature. For tourists traveling to Tibet, there are many types of accommodations to choose from, such as youth hostels, Tibetan hotels, etc. From homestays to business hotels, everyone can decide where to stay based on their preferences and expected price.

The youth hostels in Lhasa can be described as “all over the place”, which is no exaggeration at all. Because there are so many young people hiking and biking into Tibet every year, they all like to stay in youth hostels. First, the accommodation fee is cheap, which can save some expenses. Generally, the price of each bed is about 30 yuan, and in the off-season, there are still a few yuan or more. Second, the youth hostel has a good atmosphere and you can make many like-minded friends. Basically every youth hostel has a stylishly decorated public space, where everyone can sit here to talk, drink and brag in their free time. This is also a very meaningful travel memory.

If you like to experience Tibetan customs in depth, you can choose to stay at Tibetan B&B. This kind of B&B is usually located in the old city and is renovated from a typical Tibetan house. The overall style of the courtyard and guest rooms is basically decorated with Tibetan elements, such as thick card mats, exquisitely carved tables and chairs, Tibetan-style Door curtain... Every moment of living here is a learning of Tibetan culture.

Some tourists like to enjoy their journey quietly without being disturbed, so staying in a business hotel is most suitable. There are InterContinental Hotel, Shangri-La Hotel, etc. with good conditions, as well as general chain hotels such as Home Inn, Seven Days Inn, and Pudding Hotel. There are various types of business hotels in Lhasa that can meet the needs of different groups.
