Songtsam Tacheng Lodge

The hotel is situated in a zen and peaceful location. Breakfast was good, dinner wasn't bad but was very pricey for what it's worth. It was very difficult to contact the front desk manager via Trip.com, in the end I had to call the hotel number (using Chinese, not foreigner friendly) to reserve hotel activities. We went on a tofu making session in a local homestay, it was a nice experience but do note the price (400 CNY for 2 person, 1 hour session), very simple process and kids friendly if you are going as a family. The beds were comfortable. We stayed at the Garden view room and there was a lack of privacy, people wandering at the restaurant balcony, or walking outside can see directly into our room, so we had to keep the curtains closed. For 3100 CNY/night I expected more exclusiveness. Staff was polite, kind and sweet, compliments on their service. Lastly the Chinese name listed on Trip.com was VERY confusing, particularly when communicating with drivers and agencies, as we were not sure whether we booked the correct Songtsam hotel. 维西松赞塔城酒店 (Trip.com name) vs. 松赞塔城山居 (松赞 official name), confirm that these two are the same...

松贊，藏區永遠的不二之選！ 第一次來塔城，松贊藏在一個小村莊的小山坡裏，畢竟是山居，大廳的窗景實在絕了！ 管家小萬太暖心了，陪我家娃子聊天，給我們準備晚餐午餐，處處都非常用心照顧！ 有機會再來塔城還會選擇松贊

房間很大，設施有點老舊，簡陋。2015年住過香格里拉的松贊林卡，感覺‘差距太大。餐飲質量很好。全靠服務取勝，每位工作人員都熱情周到。
