Tavern 47 Reviews

Nices staff, electronic blanket - amazing! But! The hostel is wooden, you can hear everyone from everywhere, this made my stay uncomfortable,also in the hostel was quite cold..

Next to the main square this beautiful old building is now operated as a hostel by a Korean and his Naaxi wife. Always friendly to talk to and happy to share their tasty Yak cheese this is the place to be in Shangri-la. The prices for both accommodation and food are very reasonable. Try the Yak burger with cheese and bacon. It will be the best burger you've had in a long time. Also their Korean bbq is very tasty. Security is good, toilets are always clean and they provide good trekking advise.

I stayed here for 4 days and visited Meilli Snow Mountains from here. I had the most enjoyable time in China so far. The foods was great and the other guests were friendly. The owner's recommendations for the exploring the area was extremely helpful. I enjoyed seeing Shangri-La and Meili Snow Mountains. He knows the area.

The owner is a really nice guy from Korea that makes friend with everyone with his relaxed carismatic personality. Just behind the hostel is a hill you can climb to have amazing view of the old and new city, you can even in the distant see the Songznling monestary and in clear weather which I had almost every day you can see the snowy mountain ranges. Just beneith is the temple with the grand prayer wheel which takes some 20 people to turn. Just around the corner you can join the locals dancing

The hostel is great, Jun is really nice and so is everyone who works there. MANY Koreans go to stay there and it was a bit loud but otherwise ok, apparently the whole city has periods of no water so showers were an issue, didn't work for 24+ hours but that is not the hostel's fault. Food delicious and everyone helpful.

Excellent place with honest owners who informed me that i overpaid via website and charged me cheaper rate when i got there. great location outside the main square and close to the great views of chicken temple. friendly and helpful hosts.

We had a wonderful stay here. The staff were so nice, helpful, and accommodating. The food was delicious! It was great to have some yummy Korean food after traveling in SE Asia for a few months. The yak burger was also delicious. I met other travelers here and we went to TLG together. Fun time!

I really loved my stay in Shangri-la. The staff is really friendly and helpful and the food they offer is pretty good. Jun is a hiking tourguide, so he can give you great tips for the region. Unfortunately, I didn't have time for that...

The couple who owns this place is absolutely adorable. So helpful and really want you to enjoy yourself and relax. We got in after a long day and instead of making us go through the whole process of checking in right away they told us just to relax and shower and take our time which was amazing. Also have great yak tacos and burgers!

Absolutely great!

Great hostel all in all - owners are extremely helpful and provided good travel advice and tips! The common area was a good place to meet people and exchange travel stories. The hostel is located a minute's walk away from the main square but considerably far from tourist madness. The 5-bed dorm rooms had 2 super single beds that are super comfy with electric blankets. A suggestion would be to add another stove/burner in the common area! Highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Shangrila!

The Family who runs the hotel is very friendly. easy evenings at the fireplace are really funny and informative. A lot of informations about trekking in this area!!! A must stay ;) Nice food also!!!

The owners were very helpful and accommodating to our group. Our stay was very good, overall. Their yak burger is a must-try.

Great athmosphere in this small but authetnic tibetian style hostel. Bit hard to find but just call them when you arrive for a good explanation. Beware that if it's cold outside it has the same temperature inside! But the electic blanket and three normal blankets helped a lot!

A very nice and typical Tibetan hotel with great atmosphere. All the hotel is made of wood. I really recommend the "yak burger", affordable and very tasty. All the beds have electric blankets so you are not cold during the night. But dont think you will have heatings in those kinds of places.The hostel is located in the center of the old town.

We really enjoyed our stay here,the hostel was in the style of the area, the staff were excellent.. Shangri La is very cold but, the communal area had a wood burner going all day and the rooms had good electric blankets and extra covers. The double room we booked was a good size with extra large bed which was very clean. Sadly the room had damp in one corner which made it musty and we could hear' something' running through the gap between the ceiling and the floor above at night. Good food.

I enjoyed my stay there. The staffs helped me with warm hearts, and it's not easy to find such a nice toilet like that of Tavern 47.

Amazing hostel. Definitely a awesome choice for staying in Shangri-la. The atmosphere of the hostel awesome (see pictures) and the staff is extremely friendly. Only thing, it is a little hard to find at first. But in general the location is very good.

Very nice place to stay, very close to the Shangri-la Old town. Hotel's keeper family is very friendly, speak very good english, the hotel owner also provide packged tours and information about place's of interest nearby/ The hostel house is wooden which is very good during the winter(it is less cold inside) and they have a very nice place for dinner at the first floor near the fire))

Nice traditional Tibetan building. Definitely a little cold but that's the case everywhere in Zhongdian if you go in the winter (nowhere but 4 and 5 star hotels are heated and insulated). Everything is clean, food is good. Owner is super nice and speaks very good English. Could use a little more hot water sometimes. Comfortable beds. Nice common area.
