The location is the absolutely best thing about this hotel. By all means the hotel has everything you'll need including other international travelers, but nothing to write home about. But the location is just across the road form the Barkhor Kora and the old Lhasa - couldn't be better! More

Stayed there as part of a tour for 3 nights. Location is great, all day you can watch the pilgrims doing their kora. Hotel has known better days (i think it was once a very fancy hotel) but room and bathroom was clean. Bed was comfortable, very fast in room wifi and nice staff More

In Lhasa we stayed in Mandala hotel. First 2 days and nights we did not have a toilet we could use. We could not flush it. We asked the hotel personnel to repair it but they could not repair it. They just tried to fix it with a plumber but it did not help it. We also asked for a... More

I originally thought my agency booked us onto the one located at Bakhor Street (that one is located at a fantastic location, though it does look rather dated though!). But ours is along a main street, about 10 min, walk to Bakhor Street. The hotel is rather run down, very basic and dusty. Breakfast was so-so, and overall, it was... More

We went to this hotel as part of a tour option. Although the place is a little run down, it is a welcome haven from the cold. Heaters are great! The breakfast is basic but lovingly made! Its a very quirky place that lent itself to the feel of the trip! More

Breakfast is awfull - you can't eat eggs and toast all mornings... After 2 nights we changed hotel. For the prices shown in the lobby you can book in october a 4* instead. Or look... More

Hotel Mandala was our accomodation as part of our tour through Tibet. The hotel was in a great spot to see the many palaces, temples, and monestaries in Lhasa. Some were a short walking distance away, while others were a short taxi ride. Positives: + Clean, comfortable rooms and was a pleasant room with views of the mountains and the... More

I stayed at the Mandala Hotel as part of a tour package. The hotel is beautiful and clean. The only thing I would change is that in the part of the hotel where I was staying the rooms did not have air conditioning or heat. Tibet has crazy weather and I was freezing at night! I put on my long... More

If you want a Tibetian experience, this is a good place. The location is right across the street from the Jokhang Temple. Very good people running this hotel. They serve a great western breakfast. Plain and simple rooms. The only drawback here was quite a few bedbugs. Since I travel with a fully enclosed bug tent for sleeping, they didn't... More
