Arro Khampa by Zinc Journey Shangri-la
4.0 star property
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1)
"非常に満足できる良いホテルです。 先ず、独克宗古城に溶け込み雰囲気が抜群でありながら古さを感じさせない清潔感。 床暖房があり室内は快適など設備も申し分なく、アメニティー類やタオルも充実。 チェックイン時にはおしぼりと生姜茶でもてなし、夜にホットミルク（多分ヤクの牛乳と思います）を部屋まで持ってきてくれましたが、これがまたとても美味しい。 抜群の立地は月光広場から直ぐで、且つ古城内の車侵入可能エリアからも近く、車から荷物を運んだり、古城外へ車で出かける際にも全く苦になりません。"

Songtsam Retreat at Shangri-La - MGallery Collection
5.0 star property
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (29)
"This little gem is hiding behind the songtsam temple, though it's a bit hard to find even with the GPS. The small town in front of the hotel is undergoing heavy constructions. We arrived there with no hot water and got a free upgrade a suite. Room is huge but not as cozy as the smaller one. They even set up the fireplace to get the room warmed up for us everyday. Food is excellent but too bad we missed the spa. Overall an excellent hotel where you can relax and find you inner peace, definitely...

2.5 star property
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (1)
"I would say the location of the hotel isn't really that good, you need to travel like around 15mins with vehicle to get to the hotel from the old town. But the environment there is awesome, it got a prefect view there. Also, the staff was being very nice and helpful in suggesting where to visit. Overall, it quite a nice experience to have a stay there."
