Tavern 47 Reviews

Charming authentic looking tibetan house well situated in Shangri-la. The staff is friendly and helpful if asked. The shared toilets are clean though paper toilet is missing frequently, and showers has great flow of hot water which is very nice with the evening chill. Rooms are clean. The only drawback of the place is the darkness of it (typical tibetan houses hasn't got a lot of window). The little couryard and terrasse is therefore the nicest place to sit during the day to warm up.

Sweet and funny couple running this cosy hostel! Great place for meeting other travelers whilst warming up by the stove with some dali beer at night and exchanging stories. Just a 2 minute walk to the old town with it´s lovely cafes and restaurants. The friendly hosts will give you some good travel tips for the area, cook up some yummy dinners and make you feel at home. I would definitely recommend this place!

we had a great time at the hostel, the owner was very helpful with tips about the area and tibet.

Was a great place to stay in... even for a night. The owners were friendly and helpful. Everything was great.

Good location close to the old town, and quiet. The wooden old style house provides a character to this guest house. Good adress if you are not looking for a luxury environnement.

In the 6 weeks that we spent in China, this was the best place we have been to and the closest to a "home away from home"!! Jun and his wife are perfect hosts, we loved the great (Korean) food and company there! Also Jun is a 5 AAAAA tour-guide and can show you amazing places around Shangri-la and his funny stories can make a perfect night around the fireplace! If you go to Shangri-la, stay here and love it! Auch für die Deutschen: Absolut empfehlenswert, besonders die Tour mit Jun dem Besitzer!

The manager was very nice and sincerely helped the tourists. He helped us to plan the tour and recommended places to check considering each tour group's condition. He really seemed to be like A person who loves traveling and he was honest!! Strongly recommendable if you are foreigner tourists!!!

We had a blast in Shangri-La and we loved the hostel, such a charming place. The atmosphere is great and food is delicious. We especially enjoyed the evenings in the lounge with the owners, Jun and his wife. I'll definitely come back to this beautiful place and stay at Tavern 47 again!!

The owners (Korean man and Naxi woman) were very warm and welcoming. It was was very friendly atmosphere. Just on the outskirts of the old town, only a few minutes walk from unique streets and stalls of Shangrila. This was a pleasant experience i will have to catalogue! side note, i do speak some Mandarin and this may have also aided in my experience.

we enjoyed the hostel, beautiful tibetan/nepali rooms, cosy warmth around the stove in the common dining room, while it was snowing outside (a bit) and freezing cold (a lot). The korean food is delicious. Friendly staf.

This hostel was very well situated, in the old town, but at the same time in a quiet street. The rooms are quite cosy, and colourful, modern bathroom, the electric blanket was really appreciated given the freezing cold temperature! The owners were really nice to us: we had some tea, a really nice dinner (yak burger!), they gave us some tips about how to visit some places, and where to go. The only bemol would be the difficulty we encountered to find the hostel, DO KEEP THE OWNER'S PHONE NUMBER!

A really good place to stay in Shangri La, it's well located, 2min walk from the city center and the owners are really nice. The food is excellent and you can have a lot of advice about the place to see in shangri la and its surrounding but also in Northern Yunnan, Western and Southern Sichuan as well as Tibet.

The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the place has a lot of character. We spent New Years here and the owner and his wife went out of their way to make us feel at home by making us a Korean BBQ. It was mighty cold there (middle of winter) but they supplied us with electric blankets which were toasty and warm. We really enjoyed our stay here.
