Potala Palace View · Close Your Eyes and Enter Lhasa Travel Accommodation Picks

   1. Pingcuo Kangsang Godlike Perspective: ✅ 360° unobstructed view of the Potala Palace! Off-season scenic rooms for 200+ ✅ 10-minute walk to Barkhor Street, convenient supermarket downstairs High Altitude Hits: ❌ Power and hot water outages late at night! Flashlight essential ❌ Soundproofing is paper-thin, footsteps in the corridor surround you in 3D 2. Minshan Aviation Hotel Exclusive Tips: ✅ Rooftop viewing platform for photographing Potala Palace’s reflection in water ✅ Airport shuttle direct access, smart voice-controlled appliances Fatal Flaws: ❌ Oxygen machine noise like a tractor, need earplugs to sleep ❌ Rooms so small luggage can’t be opened 💎 Altitude Sickness Friendly · Luxury Picks 3. The St. Regis Lhasa Oxygen Freedom: ✅ Diffused oxygen supply + 24-hour medical room, rooms at least 61㎡ ✅ Tibetan-style bar with direct Potala Palace view, off-season cost performance is amazing Aged Cost: ❌ Facilities as old as a 90s guesthouse ❌ Oxygen machine roaring all night long 4. Shangri-La Lhasa Life-saving Details: ✅ Smart toilet + floor heating + free oxygen machine ✅ Unobstructed view from Potala Palace scenic rooms Sanitation Lottery: ❌ Bedding has suspicious stains, washing machine often breaks down ❌ Service depends on mood, prices double in peak season 🚑 Altitude Sickness Emergency · Cost-effective Picks 5. Spring and Autumn Oxygen-enriched Hotel Oxygen King: ✅ 24-hour diffused oxygen + humidifier + heater ✅ Free laundry saves the trouble of changing clothes on the plateau Dark Operations: ❌ Room changed without notice at midnight! Rights protection was exhausting ❌ Construction noise starts punctually at 6 AM 6. Home Inn Neo Budget Traveler’s Blessing: ✅ Oxygen room next to Potala Palace for 200 yuan, free sweet tea warms the heart ✅ Free laundry and drying Sleep Danger Zone: ❌ Oxygen machine’s electric current buzzing ❌ Strong formaldehyde smell from new renovation 🛕 Cultural Immersion · Secret Realm Enthusiasts 7. Songtsam Linka Tibetan Aesthetics: ✅ 80㎡ Tibetan-style villa with a distant view of Songzanlin Monastery ✅ Butler explains culture, unlimited afternoon tea cookies Transportation Drawbacks: ❌ Taxi to city costs 80 yuan one way or more ❌ Bathroom light flickers on and off ⚠️ Choose Carefully InterContinental Hotel: ❌ Oxygen supply only 5%! Beware of altitude sickness ❌ Breakfast requires climbing stairs, hard to breathe on the plateau slope Snow Lotus View: ❌ Hot water depends on luck, water turns cold halfway through washing hair ❌ Facilities randomly new or old 📌 Lhasa Room Selection Golden Rules 1. First day altitude sickness prevention → Spring and Autumn Oxygen-enriched (most oxygen), St. Regis (medical room guarantee) 2. Potala Palace fans → Pingcuo Kangsang (panoramic cost-effective), Minshan (reflection photo spot) 3. Cultural experience → Songtsam Linka (Tibetan villa), but prepare enough taxi budget 4. Avoid pitfalls: Noise common problems: Minshan/St. Regis oxygen machine noise, Spring and Autumn Oxygen-enriched construction noise Oxygen fraud: InterContinental “diffused oxygen” only 5% Hot water mystery: Pingcuo Kangsang/Snow Lotus randomly lose hot water > Essence Summary: > For convenience, choose Home Inn or Pingcuo near Potala Palace, > For life-saving, go for Spring and Autumn Oxygen-enriched or St. Regis, > For great photos, go to Minshan rooftop, > Songtsam Linka is only suitable for second-time visitors to Lhasa! > Remember: off-season prices are halved, book 3 months in advance for peak season!
