Very nice and welcoming hotel in the center of Xining, with a friendly and helpful staff. It’s close to a main bus station, food markets, and a lot of restaurants and businesses. I highly recommend if you’re stopping in Xining for a couple of days.
Pro points -
The beds are soft and comfy, good showers with very hot water. Rooms were clean. The buses from outside connect well to the Muslim area of the city and the restaurants nearby are nice. Staff are friendly.
Bad points -
We booked a non smoking room, all the rooms available were infact non smoking and yet the whole place absolutely stank of cigarettes.
We moved rooms because after dinner we came back to a haze of smoke in the room, everyone must be smoking.
I live in China, I realise this isn't uncommon, but in that case don't advertise non smoking rooms.
SSimplyRosieWe had booked two rooms. Should have checked prior but turns out this building doesn't have a lift. Makes it tiresome to climb 5 levels up. But great commendation to the staffs. They were extremely helpful and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. Unfortunately the building is outdated and likely needs to be refurbished. Location works well for us as it is near to food and shopping.
WWorld Traveler JThe hotel is located right above a night market, very convenient. The room was spacious. But other than these two things, I have very little good things to say. They never once made our beds, only took out the garbage and gave us bottled water each day. They also give the smallest rolls of toilet paper that looks like it’s a left over roll (but it’s actually how they make it there). The shower did not have any antislipping or safety handles on the wall, so one of us fell in the shower because the entire bathroom gets wet when you shower. The TV was not working either but we don’t really want to watch anything so we didn’t bother with fixing it. I would not stay here again.
