Cari Hotel 2-Star di Xiahe

Lovely new modern homestay less than 2km down the Main Street. Comfortable beds and linen first class. Less than ten minutes walk from bus station or 25 minutes walk to Labrang Monastery. Hailed taxis shared with others to monastery costs Y2 per person. The lovely young couple were very helpful, even taxiing at reasonable price to the grasslands and picked us up when we sent WeChat message. We were here in 2000. It’s changed heaps since then to a bigger town and more infrastructure. The people are friendly, with the younger generation wanting to try out their English. Worth a 3 hour bus ride from Lanzhou to see the monastery and go for a hike into the highlands.

If you’re considering staying here, just book it. After four years living in China, this was my farewell trip, and I was incredibly excited to experience ******* culture. I could not have chosen a better place. The family is simply wonderful. They arranged airport pick-up, helped me organize trips around the area, changed my breakfast so I could try authentic local food, prepared homemade yogurt for me every evening, and even introduced me to friends who spoke English. Their hospitality was beyond anything I could have expected. I have travelled extensively all over the world, and without a doubt this family has made this one of the best trips of my life. They even invited me to watch a movie projected onto the courtyard wall with them one evening – a memory I will always cherish. As for the hotel itself, it is spotless. I’m very particular about cleanliness, and everything was impeccable. The quality of the towels, bedding and furnishings was exceptional, and the hotel is absolutely beautiful. I stayed for five nights and was never bored. Xiahe has so much more to offer than many people realise. I honestly cannot recommend this place highly enough. Thank you for making my stay so special ❤️

Incredible stay at the Xicheng Inn. The hotel is very cozy with fascinating decor. I loved spending time in the third-floor library, filled with cultural artifacts, games, and books – you'll never get bored! The hospitality from the hotel staff is also unmatched. I stayed alone but never felt lonely. They take guests on walks around the city to discover ******* culture. I recommend staying here not only for the comfort of the hotel but also for the wonderfully warm atmosphere. 在Xicheng Inn 的入住体验令人难忘。酒店装饰别致温馨，三楼的图书室尤其迷人——里面摆满了文化工艺品、游戏和书籍，待上一整天都不会无聊！酒店员工的待客之道无可挑剔，我虽是独自旅行，却从未感到孤单。他们会带客人漫步古城，领略藏地文化风情。我强烈推荐这里，不仅因为舒适的住宿环境，更因那份宾至如归的温暖氛围。

The location was good and the room has a lot of space, I just struggled a little with the smart assistance

Conveniently located within walking distance to the labrang monastery (400m) west entrance. They could arrange for transportation around xiahe. Room was clean and spacious , just a little cold as we arrived in end may which makes it difficult to take a shower. Generally, we enjoyed our stay there. As we were staying there for 3 days, we later had to venture out further to try other food varieties. Would prefer if they could arrange for more affordable prices for non native speaking travellers when securing private car hires.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 強烈推薦！超有氛圍感的藏式寶藏民宿 這次入住體驗太驚艷了！一進大廳就被濃郁的藏族傳統風情深深吸引。整個建築是全木質結構，雕刻非常精美。最讚的是大廳中央的透明玻璃天窗設計，白天陽光灑進來，通透又明亮，仰頭就能看見藍天，拍照超級出片！ 大廳裏細節滿滿，中央擺放着精緻的藏式爐灶和茶具，角落裡有扎木念琴，隨手一拍都是故事感。房間圍繞着中庭分佈，乾淨整潔。老闆和工作人員也很熱情，在這裏不僅是住宿，更像是一場沉浸式的藏文化體驗，強烈推薦給來旅遊的朋友們！

I stay a few nights in a dorm and I was the only guest. The dorm and the toilets were well cleaned. The heating system worked well as well as the hot shower. There was a kettle in the dorm. The WiFi was strong. The hotel is in a short walking distance from the monastery, restyrants and shops. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Very convenient location. Just walking distance to Labrang monestry. Really nice place and nice view from the hotel. Breakfast is nice and front desk attitude is friendly. Highly recommend. If you like to try some ******* style hotel, this will be the best option. Thanks

We had such a good stay here. The rooms were very clean and cosy, and they were heated really well for the winter weather. The window to our room opened our onto the common area which is a beautiful room filled with plants and seats and pools of water. The whole building fills up with light and makes it a really nice place to stay. The location is a little far away from the main area of town, but this is not a problem at all since taxis and mopeds cost less than 5 yuan to get to town and Labrang monastery. Do not let the location put you off. The owner was incredibly friendly and very helpful. He made us breakfast and organized taxis to get us around. He gave us a great recommendation to go to the Bajiaocheng Ancient Site (picture attached), which I recommend EVERYONE does, it was amazing and our host organized it all for us. I would really recommend staying here. There is also a crazy kitten running about the place who we loved. Oh and you can do laundry free of charge.

The hotel is extremely close to the monastery. Some people at the reception speak english and they can book you a private tour to visit the grasslands and the monasteries outside the city that otherwise would be unreacheables for 400rmb per vehicle. The room is big and the beds are warm.
