Mid-range

• Yushu Hoteloff-season (winter) expect to pay ¥180 for a room with a (soft!) queen-size bed

  Yushu Binguan

  By far the nicest hotel in town with the flushing toilets and 24-hour hot showers. The old Yushu Binguan sits in front of this brand new hotel, and there are no longer dorm rooms available. The staff are helpful, although only a few speak some English - a friendly female manager has the best fluency. By Chinese government standards, the hotel is 3-star, but by Western standards it could be a 4-star. Avoid the complimentary breakfast.
