Excellent hotel all round. Location is good, front desk staff are very helpful, rooms are comfortably fitted, breakfast was ample. Restaurant sits on 2F with a good view of the bustling street corner and park beyond.
The only minus point is that the room temperature is centrally controlled - during our stay, the heating was turned on which rendered the room overly warm. This was somewhat resolved by opening the casement windows.
What a surprise. I cancelled two other bookings to choose this hotel. And you should do the same. This hotel will meet all your needs for visiting Xining. I can see that this hotel gets top marks for customer service. Location, facilities, very clean, all 5 out of 5. The breakfast buffet serves healthy food, there were not a lot of items, but it's on a quality scale. Xining is a beautiful city and so are their local citizens. Top attractions the temple and the wildlife zoo, are not to be missed. Because there is a big variance of 20 degrees from day to night, the hotel room does get hot in the afternoon, that is the nature of the northwest of China. Hotel will provide a fan to cool down the room.. I will be back to Xining and this hotel.
