Hotel Mesra Haiwan Peliharaan di Xiahe

We feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to stay at Shangu. Not only is the guesthouse conveniently located near the monasterybut the hosting family also taught us so much about ******* culture. They generously shared their time, traditions, and delicious cuisine—things we would never have experienced anywhere else. They were always kind and helpful whenever we needed anything. And all the food we ate (a lot) was genuinely local, delicious and had the warmth of homemade food. Furthermore, the guesthouse itself was absolutely lovely. The common spaces were very tasteful and inviting, and the rooms were clean, well-designed and beautifully decorated. We had a wonderful sleep, and no problems whatsoever. We will never forget these few days at Shangu guesthouse, and our lovely moments with its family. This stay will remain one of the most meaningful memories of our trip to China.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Wonderful Stay — Felt Like Home! Our experience at this homestay was truly memorable. The hosts were warm, attentive, and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The rooms were spotless, tastefully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed. We especially loved the local touch in the meals — fresh, home-cooked food that reflected the region’s flavour and hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a stay that combines comfort and cleanliness.

I had an amazing time. The family and their friends were extremely caring and attentive, and spent much of the time showing me around the nearby monastery, teaching me how to make incense, how traditional ******* painting worked etc. The food was also excellent and plentiful, and the rooms decorated in a beautiful traditional style. An all-round fantastic experience. I am certainly hoping to come back again.

Good location with natural view of grassland and mountain. The tent are next to river stream. Very good place to relax. Outdoor walk way to room need lighting during nite. Breakfast provided is too small portion. Staff are good and.helpful. Management need enhance the quality of the tent and room.

We can say only positive things about our stay in this amazing Inn. First, we were impressed by the hall and common area with heartwarming photos on the walls and picturesque postcards that we received as the present from the hotel owner Chai Chai. We talked a bit about our plans and we were shown to our room. We were so good cared during those 2 days of stay: Chai Chai prepared hot water for me, whenever I needed it, she ordered local milk tea for us to try, it was delicious. Also she has a very nice dog, so kind and playful. Her husband helped us to organise bus tickets back and on the day of our departure Chai Chai drove us to our ride. She also made a nice gift for us - a Tibetan-patterned coasters handmade with the popular ”bean stitching” craft that's currently trending in China. Moreover, accommodations are really cozy and spacious. On the highest floor there is a terrace with many tables and seats and panoramic mountain view. We sat there and enjoyed. We’ll definitely come back and advise this place to our friends. Thank you, Chai Chai and to all your family! You are the best!

Had a great experience staying in this hotel. Clean and comfortable room. The host was amazing, helped me to get around Xiahe and had wonderful recommendations. He also introduced me to local cuisine. It made me feel like a real guest.

The location is quite far from the bus station, and unfortunately as it was peak season no taxi could take us due to the traffic jam - our only option was to walk the 3km with our bags. There are not many restaurants very close by as it is in a very quiet part of the city. However the location is very convenient for visiting the monastery, just a short walk away. The window for the room looks into the internal courtyard, which you need to be conscious of in regards to privacy.

I hate giving a negative review, as the owner was very nice, and the building itself is quite nice. But there's no reason for such a high price, for what you get. The room was nice, but with underfloor heating it was very cold. They brought us a space heater, and we kept the card key in place, door unlocked, so it was bearable. But for $38 it should have been easier. It's right next to a great restaurant, which is worth it if you want to splurge. The walk up the hill is steep, and one taxi driver refused to go up Again, the owner is a nice guy, but there are much cheaper (and warmer) options.

The staff and surroundings were excellent. The hotel itself is a mixed bag: a beautiful lobby but the room itself was disappointing: quite dirty, with a desperate need of a renovation. We also received a very dirty towel. The curtains and bed sheets had holes in them.

I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend staying here. The hotel is right next to the entrance of the monastery and most rooms have a nice view of the lively main street and the mountains behind. The rooms also have built-in heating so the room is not cold during the colder months. The bed is very comfortable. Staff doesn’t always speak English but they are very friendly. The hotel is a little bit outdated, but I think it is one of the best places to stay in Xiahe because of the location and it offers everything you need.
