Songtsam Retreat at Shangri-La - MGallery Collection

5.0 star property
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (29)
"This little gem is hiding behind the songtsam temple, though it's a bit hard to find even with the GPS. The small town in front of the hotel is undergoing heavy constructions. We arrived there with no hot water and got a free upgrade a suite. Room is huge but not as cozy as the smaller one. They even set up the fireplace to get the room warmed up for us everyday. Food is excellent but too bad we missed the spa. Overall an excellent hotel where you can relax and find you inner peace, definitely...

"I would say the location of the hotel isn't really that good, you need to travel like around 15mins with vehicle to get to the hotel from the old town. But the environment there is awesome, it got a prefect view there. Also, the staff was being very nice and helpful in suggesting where to visit. Overall, it quite a nice experience to have a stay there."
