Yak Hotel

The Yak Hotel is by far my favorite hotel in Lhasa.  Over the four times I’ve visited Tibet, I always request the Yak Hotel based on my first visit in 2006.  Over the years guide services will try and force you into a Chinese owned hotel.  I insist on staying at the Yak because of there great location, within walking distance of Barkhor Square, Old Town section and many good restaurants.  It is also very clean with tradition Tibetan decorations.

 

The hotel does have storage so if you want to leave bags at the hotel when you check out to explore the rest of Tibet, there is no problem.  They also have a reliable laundry service.  Breakfast is included with your stay.  Past years, breakfast was served on the roof. It provided great views of Lhasa and the Potala.  However, my last visit in 2019, the breakfast room moved to a level below the roof.

Attached to the Yak Hotel is a great restaurant and bar called Dunya. A good place to relax at the end of the day.
