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

Avoid the older roadside doubles and singles, though, as these are still small, noisy and overpriced.

Frommer's "Popular with tour groups and individual travelers, this hotel is several notches up from some of the decrepit guesthouses that line Beijing Dong Lu, but then so are the prices." Full review
Rough Guide "Rooms here are a bit hit or miss, but get a good one with a tub and a/c and it’s decent value, especially given the central location."

"The ever-popular Yak has matured in recent years from backpacker hang-out to tour-group favourite, upgrading to a range of comfortable ensuite rooms." Full review
