First of all, we really appreciated how much effort the accomodating and friendly owners put in their cozy guesthouse. They made our stay homely and we felt very welcomed. We were given tea or hot chocolate in the colder evening and they served us fruit in the afternoon. Our room was clean, the bed sheets warm for the cold nights and the common area lovely decorated. Since the hostel is situated within the old town, the location couldn't have been better. We would definitely come to stay here again!

This Hostel is the best I‘ve ever been to - I even stayed two nights longer than planned, even thoughthe weather forecast had predicted only rain. The location is perfect - right on the Edge of the old town. But do NOT follow Google Maps, the Location is wrongly listed there - follow agoda or Booking It is run by a young family. The owners speak English and are happy to help you with any questions or tour or Booking you would like to do. They also help save money wherever they can and have lots of connections. The homemade dishes (Tibetan, Yunnan, Korean, Chinese, Western) are prepared with love and are very delicious. If you don’t want to go out or you want to chat with other English-speaking backpackers, or the family itself, it‘s always fun to sit around the stove, have tea or hot water and talk about different cultures, experiences, ect. as if you were part of the family Beds, rooms, bathroom, showers,… Everything is always perfectly clean

This hotel has definitely matched my expectations. My room was spacious, sparkling clean and comfortable. The city center is just five minutes away on foot. All the staff members were courteous and really helpful by giving me all the info I was in need of. In particular I would like to spend words of appreciation towards the lady working at the front desk. She has been extremely welcoming and nice. She even offered me a typical local dish. I felt myself at home. I definitely recommend this hotel to all travelers reading my feedback. If I have the chance to visit Shangri-la again in the future I will come back to this hotel for sure.
