Charming spotless hotel with extremely pleasant and helpful staff. This is an old Tibetan building with nice views, good breakfast and free afternoon tea and cakes. This is definitely the place to stay in Shargi-La.

We agree with all the other positive reviews. Great friendly helpful staff, Large rooms with balconies and stunning views of The Monastery which is a short walk away. We wish we could have stayed longer.

This hotel is in a perfect setting with peace and scenery. The rooms are Tibetan in style. Food and staff are top rate and they have the best coffee in China! (Yunnan coffee beans) The hotel overlooks the monastry and the only sound was the bells around the yaks necks.Fantastic sunrise too.

Arriving to shangri la is a real pilgrim. Staying at M Gallery is a real retreat. From the arrival to the end (which we were sad to leave) it is a unique experience. Do not expect luxury or sophisticated things but great comfort, genuine kindness, amazing set up and view. The team is so nice, the peaceful atmosphere is unbelievable... More

I am glad we took Oxygen drops in our water to help with the altitude. To get to our suite (we upgraded on arrival from a single room to a large suite), we needed to climb a bunch more stairs. Although the staff would have gladly driven us up in a golf cart. They had just opened after a 2... More
