LETE Hostel

Actually quite a nice hostel. Very interestingly located on the top of the residential tower with very unique layout. You feel like in a labyrinth of spcates. Large size glazings, big public spaces. Its located about 30 minutes walk from the Grand Mosque. We booked double room which was quite big. Window from our bathroom was overlooking into an public balcony, which was little funny, but as there were curtains we could just block the view. Parking situation might be a little complicated in the high season. You need to park at the rear of adjacent building. Parking appeared to be quite packed but we have however managed to still find a free spot. It looks to me that parking situation in Xining is quite challenging in general.

Excellent budget hostel very clean and convenient location nearby many cheap restaurants sichuan,NE and Tibetan Nanshan park mojia st are also close by Friendly helpful staff and the pool table is a bonus I would definitely stay there again I have nearly 40 years independent travelling experience and will definitely stay there again when in xining

The room was affordable. It would be great if they keep the public areas free of smoke.

Nice place. Not what it used to be - pretty basic, and also pretty quiet.

Nice location and friendly staff.

A bit old and with some problems (for example I didn’t have water until 8 pm), but the staff is very nice and helpful and the position is good. Really affordable.

I have to start by saying that the reception staff is just amazing. Very lovely and welcoming people. Location is a bit away from main trafic knots. So if you plan to travel around to Qinghaihu or Chaka salt lake you should probably stay closer to the train station as both buses and trains leave to these destinations from there. During the summer season there are a lot of mosquitoes. Rooms are not equiped with a mosquito net or window screen to block them. It is quite hot in the room so we slept with the window open and got bitten all over the place. Didn't get much to sleep during our night long battles with mosquitos. So bare in mind no AC and mosquitos. And unfortunately there was a staff member (male) that was smoking in bathroom that is shared by all the guests of the hotel. As a non smoker I'm completely against such behavior, so hopefully that will be noticed and proper measures put in place.

Pros: Nice place, free water, Bad: if you are foreign and dont speak chinese difficult to find because the dont say the the specific location : bilding and floor in the web site !!!

This is always the hostel I choose to stay in when traveling to xining. It could use renovations but it’s good for the value and the staff are lovely and super helpful with other bookings！always feels like home
