Super clean, from the shower area to the bathroom and the room itself. The bedding was incredibly comfortable too. Easily one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in.

My favourite hostel in my month in China. Kind and multilingual host family and clean rooms. Food was excellent, I rarely eat in hotels/hostels but stayed for breakfast every day and dinner twice. Wifi is weak in the rooms but perfect in the common area, managed to get work done no problem. 10/10 would recommend.

The location right inside the old town is super convenient, and the price for a double room was really good value for money. It seems like a lot of foreigners stay here, so it would be a great spot for anyone who enjoys socializing. The owner was very welcoming at check-in, showing me around the hostel's facilities and even helping me with my luggage, which I really appreciated, though I felt a bit bad about it! The building is a traditional Tibetan-style wooden house. I had to be careful walking up and down the stairs to avoid making too much noise and disturbing others. The biggest issue was that one of the wooden steps seemed loose and made a loud creaking sound every time I stepped on it, so I had to keep skipping over it, which was a bit of a hassle. Since it's a shared bathroom, I noticed on my second night that the shower room door was broken and couldn't be locked. I'd definitely recommend the owner gets that fixed. After my shower, I wanted to do some laundry but found there weren't many hangers in the drying area – maybe I just didn't find them all. It was a slight inconvenience, but perhaps the foreign guests are just more laid-back about that sort of thing.

If you are a backpacker or solo traveler looking to immerse yourself in Shangri La, Tavern Hostel is a great pick. It really embraces the ******* influence and is full of traditional ******* styling. The rooms are also quite spacious for a hostel, and at a very fair price. The hostel is also in a great spot near the north entrance of Dukezong old town, and only a couple minutes walk from an e scooter rental shop, many nice restaurants, and a square where there are people doing traditional circle dancing every night. The staff are also beyond helpful, and are more than willing to help you with recommendations for activities to do, places to visit, and restaurants to eat at.
