快適でした。
Pros:

ロケーションが良くスタッフの人も親切だった。石鹸、シャンプーが足りなくなったら追加をくれた。旅行情報も提供してくれた。

Cons:

チベットは大抵どこもそうだが、ホットシャワーを使える時間が限られていた。ホテル内に洗濯機があったら更にありがたい。

Una vera sorpresa. Consigliatissimo
Pros:

Servizi eccellenti, camera pulita e dotata dei comfort necessari, ottima posizione e colazione europea top. Questo hotel è stata una vera sorpresa. La sua ottima posizione ci ha permesso di visitare comodamente il monastero di Labrang e le vicine Grassland. Il padrone di casa, Losang, è stato fantastico e ci ha guidato in tutto il soggiorno, consigliandoci nel modo migliore.

Ottima esperienza in stile tibetano
Pros:

L’hotel, arredato in stile tibetano, si trova a due passi dal monastero di Labrang, in ottima posizione per visitarlo. La mattina viene servita un'ottima colazione cucinata sul momento, con pane e marmellata,
Yogurt di yack e uova.
Ma il vero plus di questo posto è il proprietario, Losang, che è stato un ottimo host e un’ottima guida. Ci ha consigliato le migliori cose da vedere, è stato sempre al nostro fianco per aiutarci e mostrarci le bellezze del luogo. Xiahe è davvero un posto magico
Super consigliato

Doorstroom lokatie, luidruchtig en met een zeer eenvoudig ontbijt
Pros:

De uitstraling van het gebouw

Cons:

Ontbijt viel erg tegen met alleen een soort can chinees broodje, hard gekookt ei en iets van een rijst soepje. Erg mafers. Gelukkig waren er in de buurt voldoende goede alternatieven

A good place to stay in Labrang
Pros:

Excellent location: The room is located right next to Labrang monastery
Excellent Staff: The staff is very helpful and helps in all ways. Helped my get a taxi from the airport (even though it was over priced)
Good value for money: The rates are very reasonable.

Cons:

The room was very hot. There is no airconditioning at all in any of the rooms. Avoid this if you are visiting during the summer months. The taxi that were arranged were over priced. The hotel charged us 350 while the going rate is 150.

Pros:

Perfect location for visiting the Labrang Monastery. Look left for views of the prayer wheels from rooms at the front of the hotel! Helpful staff. Charming room decor, bathrooms perfectly functional with hot showers - but air fresheners might be a nice addition

Pros:

Location is ideal within walking distance to Labrang Monastery. It is in the hubbub of town methinks. Food and some bits of shopping can be done here. Dining options are aplenty.

No lifts for this stay.
Curtains weren't the blackout ones.
Decent for the price.

Exceptional
Pros:

If you plan to visit Labrang Monastery, in Xiahe, staying at the Overseas Tibetan Hotel is your best choice. The hotel is ideally located, just a 2-minute walk from the monastery. Hotel rooms are decorated in Tibetan style and have comfortable beds. The hotel offers western breakfast of eggs, toast, OJ and coffee, which is convenient - along with local yak milk yogurt and honey!

Losong, the owner and manager of the Overseas Tibetan Hotel, speaks impeccable English and his help and insights were absolutely invaluable and essential to the success of our visit. Losang shared insights into local culture and society, gave us terrific restaurant recommendations, and offers guided tours and hikes around the area. (We contacted him in advance and he helped arrange a reliable car to meet us at Lanzhou Airport and transport us to Xiahe.)

The Overseas Tibetan Hotel is on Xiahe’s main street, full of shops selling embroidered shawls, inlaid wooden bowls, prayer beads, and fantastic local breads, from spring onion rolls to rose jam pastries.

Labrang Monastery, one of largest and most important monasteries outside the Tibetan Autonomous Region, is full of nomadic Tibetan pilgrims who come here to worship and walk the Kora - the perimeter of prayer wheels. This is truly an awesome glimpse into another world… The monastery, a large complex of several temples, offers English-speaking tours, and Losang can provide additional details.

In Xiahe, don’t miss the local restaurants’ momo, Tibetan dumplings generously stuffed with meat, bok choy, or mushroom and cabbage, and tasty pan-fried buns stuffed with ground meat - all delicious! Restaurants offer menus with photos of dishes to help you order, regardless of language barriers. Most places don’t accept credit cards, so be prepared with RMB cash or Alipay.
