Nice quiet hostel where it is easy to relax. The bed is comfy, no gas to cook but there is hot water a microwave and a few other appliances you can use. It's a bit away from the ancient city but there are plenty of other shopping streets nearby. I left my bike outside the door because it's a very safe area. There were some very friendly people in the hostel who helped me navigate the Chinese way of doing things. It's really good value staying here, would recommend. Message them if you have difficult finding the place.
The Kuqa Smart Business Hotel has a very friendly staff. They don’t speak English, but they are very friendly and accommodating. We booked two different styles of room and they made sure that the room was perfect before we moved. The location is a little far from the city attractions, but with our own car it was no more than 30 minutes driving to the Old Town. There are a number of restaurants and small stores nearby for most needs. If you drive an EV, the closest charging station has the lowest rates I have ever seen in China!
We booked a family room and specifically asked for it to be free from any cigarette smell. Unfortunately, despite our request, the room still smelled of smoke, and even the pillows had a noticeable cigarette odor.
We also noticed that people were smoking near the elevator area. Perhaps this is more common in China, but we were not prepared for it and found it a bit uncomfortable.
On the positive side, the hotel provides a free airport shuttle, which is very convenient and greatly appreciated. The room itself was good for the price, and overall it offers solid value for money.
If the smell of cigarettes does not bother you, this hotel can be a very good option for its price range.
ผผู้เข้าพักThe hotel is located in the Cultural and Arts center, which is a free entrance if you're a hotel guest. They have traditional Uyghur music and dance performances throughout the day. The room is nice enough, the WiFi is better than most places we've stayed in. Breakfast was basic, packed and delivered to our room because it's off peak season and the number of guests were low. Overall, it was good for a 1-2 night stay.
