I had a reservation at other hotel but it wasn’t found so I cancelled it and booked Ibis the same day of my arrival. It was about 10:00 after an overnight train trip and I received a room immediately.
The room is standard as in other Ibis hotels, not very large but comfortable. They also provide a good breakfast.
The next day I had to check out before 14:00 and since my train was until 20:40, I asked to wait at the lobby until 19:00 (I am at the lobby now).
The front desk personnel have been bringing me tea during this time. I’m very pleased of my stay here.
We absolutely love our brief stay at this hotel. The check in service was speedy and pleasant. The receptionists were friendly and went up and above to serve us. This is by far the best hotel for our trip to Xinjiang. There are 2 sets of complimentary washers and dryers for guests for which is really helpful. The only downside is there is only 1 set of lift (for our wing) and the wait can be long during peak breakfast hours.
Urcove hardly disappoints. It’s a superb hotel with great hardware. However, location wise it’s a bit far from the east gate where the opening ceremony is (15min walk ish). Although you can use the north gate (8min walk), you land in a weird spot in the ancient city.
The hotels air condition also acted kinda weird when I was there. It stopped in the middle of the night even though I set it to heating mode of 24C, it dropped to 19C by itself.
The room I booked supposedly has a balcony to it. But the thing is, it’s pretty much useless cuz the BBQ smoke from nearby restaurants will overwhelm you.
ผผู้เข้าพักStay here for 5 nights, got the 7th floor, 6 bed female dorm. They provided one time use bath towel & tooth brush everyday. Location was superb, just 10 min walk to Grand Bazaar, bus stop just across the street pay 1 RMB and you can go everywhere in Urumqi. They also provided self laundry for free, hot water for drinking also available. But you have to re-swipe your room card at receptionist everyday, otherwise the card cannot be use to enter the room. It's good to stay here.
ผผู้เข้าพักI have stayed at other Campanile in China, Beijing and Shanghai and i love it so i choose this at Khasgar but i am disappointed with the amenities, breakfast, room and cleanliness.
First they give us wrong type of room instead of superior room they given comfort room.
I was asking what type of room on my room number, she just said it is correct room as staff given. When i show the room we got with the picture on the web, staff suddenly silent.
There is no body lotion in the room, as i had experience at other Campanile. There is AC in the room but when we want to make room cold, staff said the AC only for warmer so what he offered was to open the window.
Can you imagine? While we felt hot inside the room, but AC can only for warmer and at that time dust storm just happened so you can feel dust everywhere and can hear also people talking outside as window open. Along the corridor also dirty especially the area of lobby, restaurant, and lift. Breakfast only offered Chinese buffet, no coffee machine, no dessert, no yoghurt, no western food. I was really satisfied with breakfast at other Campanile.
LLilyDThis place is amazing, in terms of location it is located amongst the local housing / schools a little bit in the alley however it is not far from public transportation (the subway is 800m away) and taxis are plenty. The room is great for the price it offers, i stayed in the duplex for 3 nights, it was spacious and clean. The amenities are of great qualities too, towels/bedsheets are clean. The front desk are very welcoming and helpful. I don’t speak Mandarin, however this was not a problem as we can communicate through wechat/translation app and they were willing to help me as much as they could and that alone show that the hospitality is beyond expectation. Another great thing is, one of the host speaks great English too! As a foreigner, this is a plus point of staying at this great accomodation, although I would suggest that any traveler to learn a little bit of the local language to have a more memorable travel experience. The host gives great travel advices as well. I would definitely be back again at this place when I visit Xinjiang in the future 💖
