Although Chamdo does not yet have any four-star hotels, there are plenty of places to stay in town accommodating everyone from business travelers to backpackers. Chamdo Hotel (three stars) is the nicest and best-equipped place in town. There are many two-star hotels located in the center of town offering clean and spacious rooms.

There are also plenty of dorm-style hostels in Chamdo, with a range of prices. Those with private bathrooms are on the higher end while some, such as the Guangming Hotel, are affordable but visitors must use the public bathrooms across the street. Staying with locals in their homes or in a monastery is another inexpensive option.
