Rough Guide "Handily located on the north edge of the Barkhor, this place offers two kinds of room – one in a cheaper, shabby Chinese business style, the other a renovated Tibetan version with colourful furniture."
Lonely Planet "It's a mixed picture at this backpacker stalwart. The newest triple rooms without bathroom are spacious, fresh and carpeted, and the shared shower blocks are sparkling." Full review
