Potala Inn (July 2009) turn left as you come out of the bus station and it is less than 5 minutes walk, on your right. Quite a clean guesthouse with helpful owner(although rather rubbish laundry service - however, at least they have one!). However, the bedding did not smell 100% fresh and clean, and there is a sign on the stairway that reads "If you want your bedding washed, please tell us". Prices are ¥25 per bed for 6 bed dorm, ¥35 for 4 bed dorm (possibly the best value-for-money choice as it comes with private western bathroom and the rooms are very colourful and cheerful), ¥50 for 3 bed dorm and a slightly steeper ¥180 for a double room. Free wifi, umbrellas and raincoats. Menu with local and western food. They also offer many activities like horse trekking with nomads or motorcycle rental. Make sure the owner Lady Potala is around - she speaks English and is very helpful. If she is not the staff seems to be taking a brake and both, cleanliness and helpfulness are gone.
Peace Guesthouse Opened in 2009, this simple hostel has a helpful English-speaking owner called Longlife. It features clean dorm beds for ¥20 and is located 1 minute from the bus station (take a right turn). Peace Guesthouse has a nice little cafe, hot showers, and internet services. Motorcycle rental is ¥120. Longlife and his friends Khedap and Lobsang are very freindly. They do tours of the local area which have good reviews from many travellers. Contact Longlife at [email protected] or tel. +86 15283 605 821.
Crane Guesthouse (July 2009) is further down the road from the Potala inn (same side of the road). It is a popular hotel with foreign tourists, possibly because it is highlighted in some travel guides. But the sanitary conditions of the older part of the guesthouse (with shared facilities) are abysmal, with dirty bathrooms (squatting toilets that look like they have never been cleaned, old rickety taps did not always have running water, the 'sink' was just a broken-tiled worktop with a hole in it), old food left for days on stairways, and swarms of flies abounding. The dorm rooms have smears and all kinds of marks ALL over the walls, and lots of rubbish under the beds. The rooms in the new part with private bathrooms (squat toilet) are reasonably clean (priced at ¥100/double). The managers of the building, two Tibetan sisters, have been known to play loud dance music until 1 AM from their lobby. The staff is otherwise friendly and quite helpful. Showers are hot, free if you are staying in a ¥20 dorm, but ¥5 if you are paying for a ¥10 bed, and located next to the main lobby in the courtyard, which means you must walk outside the building to get to them. Be careful when taking a shower though, as the wires from the (rather low) ceiling light are completely exposed, with the plug and socket located directly opposite the shower head.
Peace & Happy Hotel Possibly the cheapest option in town. The rooms and toilet are grotty but the shower room is OK with hot water from 10:00 to 22:00. However the family are fairly friendly and one girl speaks some English. Double, twin and triple rooms at ¥15 per person in winter. On the main street, No. 345. 21 janury 2008.
Safe and Life Hotel (Gaocheng Luguan) is just opposite the bus station while the Batang Guesthouse (Ping'An Fandian) is across the street on your right hand side when leaving the bus station.
Two buildings right from the bus station is another small hotel.
As you follow the main road to the left, there is the Jixiang Binguan hotel on the right side.
Nomads Guesthouse(may 2010)is 5 minutes walking from the bus station. From there, walk to the left on the main street, and turn left the first street again. You'll see a blue sign in chinese, follow it. It's a nice guesthouse, all the rooms are around a courtyard, with attached bathrooms, hot water, free wifi, and some have tv. The staff doesn't speak english, but they do the effort to understand you. Rooms are new and clean.
