In-Depth Information
A room tip: skip the pricier Potala-view rooms and grab a beer on the rooftop for even
better views. Credit cards are accepted.
Tashi Choeta Hotel
HOTEL
Travellers from Taiwan and Hong Kong love this reliable option in the old town. The four
floors of rooms are set around a pleasant inner courtyard, which means they suffer from a
lack of natural light, but rooms are clean and fresh and bathrooms are spotless. There are
great Potala views from the rooftop.

Located inside the artsy courtyard holding the
Dropenling
craft centre, the friendly Herit-
age offers 21 stylish rooms featuring stone-walled showers, wooden floors and Tibetan
wall hangings. The old-town location is atmospheric if you don't mind a 10-minute walk to
most restaurants.
Cool Yak Hotel
HOTEL
The great old-town location and the giant Tibetan thangka in the central courtyard are the
most eye-catching things about this modern place. The rooms are fresh and comfortable,
though there's a definite lack of natural light. It's hidden down an alley off Danjielin Lu.

Nepali Muslim). Nice touches include a minibar at local-shop prices and a laundry service.
Rooms are clean and spacious, though the bathrooms are a bit crummy. Credit cards ac-
cepted.
