Xizang Saikang Hotel (Potala Palace)

Words can’t even expressed how thankful I am to everyone who has helped me during my stay! First of all, I don’t speak mandarin. I can understand only very little so there was a huge language barrier. The staff were amazing! They were so helpful even when they couldn’t speak English, they went out of their way to try and communicate with me to help me out. I had Google translate and they would try their best to do the same with the translation app. There was a day where I had altitude sickness and asked if I could have housekeeping service to come later in the afternoon.. I communicated via WeChat and they sent someone to my room to make sure I was ok and asked if I needed company to go to the hospital. The staff were super friendly, helpful and thoughtful! They were the main reason I really enjoyed my stay. Housekeeping was also great. There were a few offs but that’s very minor. For example, not providing extra toilet roll when it was running low so I ended up using boxed tissue that was in the room one night. Room has oxygen supply, air humidifier, provided toothbrush, tooth paste, comb, soap, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, shower cap, slippers, bathrobes, 4x 520 ml bottles of water a day, has a small refrigerator, my room has an awesome view of the mountains. Location was superb! It was literally less than 5 mins walk to Barkhor Street and probably around 5 mins walk to Potala Palace. There’s also a tour service at the hotel. A gym with mainly cardio equipment but you won’t be able to exercise much due to the high altitude situation. I tried to be a little active and walked on the treadmill on some days. The entire stay was wonderful! I would highly recommend this hotel and I would definitely stay again! Thank you so much to all the caring and helpful staffs! I will be forever thankful for their warmth and kind service!

房間不隔音，總能聽見對面屋子裡説話聲，早餐很油膩，辦入住以後上樓看到所有的換下來的床單被罩都在地上放着，衞生堪憂，看着確實不太舒服。洗澡水放大概5.6分鐘也不是很熱，因為高反剛好，也沒敢洗太久。管客房服務員要幾瓶水，服務員説洗手盆的水接出來就可以直接燒着喝，哦對了，住房要收200的按金。第一次去西藏，其他酒店沒住過，如果其他酒店也這樣，就當我沒説！

酒店位置可以，服務態度也不錯，衹是房間吹風筒太老舊，還要“”中場休息”自動斷電，而且臭膠皮味兒很重！！冰箱飲料收費未告知（林芝酒店的礦泉水擺在走廊顧客隨意飲用），更主要是一罐可樂兩小瓶水收費45元，差評！！西藏行唯一不滿意就是你！！
