Hotels With bar in Xinjiang, China

We were playing in Tashkurgan, and this hotel, newly opened, is very close to the town center. After eating at 'Guest from the Iceberg' (冰山上的来客), it was just a 10-minute drive to the hotel. It's a chain hotel, so the value for money is quite good. Service gets full marks; the pretty lady at the front desk even gave me coffee. The security guard at night was also very nice, it's just that there was no cleaning lady available in the evenings! The disaster, though, was our first night. We booked a family room. It was very spacious, especially the bathroom, which was huge! There was also a U-shaped sofa 🛋️ by the entrance. The two beds could be pushed together, which was convenient for our family. My first impression was that the bedding wasn't great; it didn't feel like pure cotton, it had a rustling texture and wasn't very soft against the skin. There was also a bug flying around in the room, which I swatted and killed on the sheets. So, I asked for the sheets to be changed. Since it was late, I just thought, 'Let's just change the sheets and sleep.' Next, for better sleep, I asked the security guard to get me two buckwheat pillows. The moment I replaced the pillows, I was genuinely speechless – there were several dead bugs under the pillow... different types of bugs, not just mosquitoes. At that point, I demanded a room change. We moved to another room, but there were still bugs flying around! Because it was so late and we had an early start the next day, we decided not to switch hotels again! My first night's impression was really bad. We had originally packed our luggage and left it at the front desk, planning to pick it up that evening. However, after a tiring second day of sightseeing, and with the kids wanting to go to the hotel's billiard room, when we went to retrieve our luggage, we just decided to book a family room again on the spot. We requested a clean and tidy room from the hotel. The second night's room faced the same direction as the hotel entrance, and the distant view was quite nice! No other mishaps. Overall, it offers great value for money. The breakfast is good, the service is excellent, the hotel laundry room is well-equipped, and the billiard table and kids' play area are also satisfying. The lobby is bright and spacious! Mineral water is directly placed at the front desk for guests to take. The only downsides were the hygiene on the first night, and the lack of a cleaning lady on duty at night. There was only the security guard and one front desk staff member. The front desk said she couldn't leave her post, so changing rooms, changing sheets, and dealing with dead bugs all fell to the security guard, who had to run back and forth. It was a bit inefficient and slow. Given our long journey and late arrival at the hotel, all this dragged on until past 1 AM. We were truly exhausted! I would still choose to stay for a second night because the family rooms are suitably large and the service is good. Please, hygiene definitely needs to be improved; it would help elevate the hotel's standard!

Traveling to Kanas, I stayed overnight in Altay and chose this hotel. The lobby and bathroom in the room are decorated in a gemstone style, which is very distinctive of the region. The room was spacious, clean, and tidy, the bed was just right – neither too soft nor too hard – and the soundproofing was excellent. Our room was close to the elevator, but we barely heard any noise and slept soundly until morning. What truly deserves praise is the rich breakfast; it was the most abundant we had at any hotel during our trip to Xinjiang, featuring local delicacies, and it was quite popular. There are some minor drawbacks: the shower water pressure wasn't great, and the trees on the street outside the hotel were small, making the surroundings seem a bit ordinary. However, considering this is in the remote northwest, and you can't compare it to standards in large coastal cities, you'll realize this hotel is quite good for the Northwest. Oh, and the hotel offers a complimentary private car service to the airport for Trip.com customers.

Staying in Narat during our self-driving trip in Northern Xinjiang, the Yimei Hotel exceeded our expectations! The hotel is right in the heart of the town, very close to the Narat scenic area, making travel super convenient. There are plenty of parking spaces, which is a real blessing for self-drivers. The rooms are clean and bright, equipped with smart toilets, silent mini-fridges, and air purifiers – a thoughtful touch given the dry grassland environment. The common areas include a gym and a laundry room, which is great for washing and drying clothes during your trip. The breakfast offers a wide variety, including local specialty noodles. The staff are responsive and provide excellent service. Overall, the hotel's facilities are top-tier in Narat, suitable for both families and groups. We'll definitely stay here again next time we visit Narat!

I booked this hotel over a month in advance. It was perfectly situated for a rest stop in Urumqi, Xinjiang, to adjust to the time difference and enjoy some local food after my trip from Georgia. I'm so glad I chose this place! The price was reasonable during the National Day holiday, and the room size was just right for our two large suitcases and bags. I initially thought about upgrading, fearing we'd be cramped, but the two single beds could be pushed together, which was perfect for my husband, our 10-year-old, and me. So, we skipped the upgrade. I must say, the service here is excellent. One evening, after a walk, the three of us enjoyed a free foot bath. The only minor thing was that the water wasn't quite hot enough; we had to boil a kettle to add some to make it comfortable. I particularly loved their laundry room on the 6th floor. As we were in a transition period and had been traveling for over ten days, we were running out of clothes. I did laundry three times and used the dryer a few times, then let them air dry, and they were ready to wear – so convenient! The hotel's location is also great, about a 10-15 minute walk from the food street. The hotel breakfast was good, and they even offered lunch at the adjacent Apple Hotel lobby, which we tried, and the dishes were quite decent. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Urumqi, and I'll try booking a suite then!

The environment is absolutely fantastic! It's a riverside campsite, and you can tell it's been thoughtfully designed, with clever touches everywhere. We unfortunately spent too much time at the attractions and arrived quite late. The campsite offers a bonfire, BBQ, and Uighur girls dancing. On the way to the river, there's also a splash pad for kids, so we really should have arrived earlier. The only minor thing is the gravel path at the entrance, which seems intentionally designed. You can contact the camp beforehand to have staff help with your luggage, as it's a bit difficult to drag suitcases yourself. Also, the soundproofing in the tents isn't the best, but that's to be expected when choosing a campsite. Overall, it's a great camp, and the breakfast selection is very rich. You can also request an oxygen machine.

The room was quite spacious and comfortable for sleeping at night. However, the check-in and check-out process could be more efficient. Even though the price isn't high, they charged a 200 deposit before check-in, and there was a list of compensation prices for damaged items directly on the desk. This really gave a bad impression. I quickly glanced at it and saw that even a dirty carpet in the public hallway would cost money to replace 😑. I'm not sure if the hotel owner has encountered malicious guests before, but I think they could increase the room rate to filter for more considerate guests. Just a suggestion.

Taking a break from my busy schedule, I pressed pause on work and embarked on an eight-day, seven-night trip to Yili. Without hesitation, I chose the Yining Green Valley InterContinental Hotel for my stay. As someone who travels extensively around the world, I've always trusted the InterContinental Group, and every stay has met my expectations. This hotel can truly be considered the pinnacle of accommodations in Yili. Having just opened, from its design aesthetics to its hardware facilities, there's almost nothing to fault. Even my son remarked that it was the best hotel experience he'd ever had. The front desk service was warm and attentive. We had booked two rooms with only four breakfasts included, but when Annie at the front desk learned that there were three people in one of our rooms, she thoughtfully helped us request an additional complimentary breakfast. Such attention to detail was incredibly heartwarming. The hotel's breakfast selection is truly top-notch in China. The variety is extensive, and I was especially delighted to find beef bacon – you can feel the hotel's dedication in every detail. Throughout the entire trip, I felt safe and comfortable. If I ever return to Yili, the Yining Green Valley InterContinental will still be my first choice. #YiningGreenValleyInterContinental #YiliTravel #XinjiangVacation

The room was clean and tidy, the environment was comfortable, and we received a free room upgrade. The service was warm and attentive. It was very convenient for getting around and sightseeing, with a dedicated car pick-up and drop-off. We didn't even have to wait in line at the front desk; check-in was directly in our room. They patiently introduced us to local attractions and activities. The overall experience for dining, accommodation, and touring was fantastic. I'll definitely stay here again next time, and I truly recommend it to everyone!

My recent stay at the Silk Road Rendezvous B&B in Kashgar Old City completely overturned three of my preconceived notions about B&Bs in just a few days. Change 1: Re-evaluating B&Bs – More than just a place to sleep, it's about living your dream life. The moment I stepped into their private courtyard, the world instantly quieted down. Outside, there was the vibrant hustle and bustle of the thousand-year-old city, but inside the courtyard, it was a tranquil oasis where time seemed to stand still. Drinking tea and simply relaxing under the big tree, bathed in dappled light, I truly experienced a 'haven in the heart of the city.' This was exactly the Kashgar I'd dreamt of – the B&B itself was a destination. Change 2: Re-evaluating service managers – From 'call if you need anything' to 'being quietly accompanied and pampered.' Xiao Mu and Xiao Yue were warm, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive. They even kindly accompanied us on tours of the old city, explaining its history, helping us book show tickets, assisting us in attending a Uyghur wedding, and teaching us Uyghur dances. Their constant care made us feel incredibly warm, surprised, and touched! Change 3: Re-evaluating accommodations within a scenic area – Who says vibrancy and tranquility can't coexist? I used to worry that B&Bs in scenic areas would be 'noisy, chaotic, and expensive.' But here, opening the door brings you into the vibrant daily life of the ancient city, while closing it envelops you in the serenity of my private courtyard. It turns out that even in the heart of a scenic area, you can find the blissful feeling of a secluded retreat. Finally, I want to extend a special thanks to the two managers, Xiao Mu and Xiao Yue. You transformed 'service' into genuine 'companionship.' One created comfort in the rooms, and the other planted warmth in our hearts. While the beautiful sights and delicious food of Kashgar might eventually fade from memory, your smiles will stay with me forever.

The hotel reception was incredibly warm and attentive, offering water and proactively asking about our needs. The hotel's exterior and facilities are beautiful, with a lovely artificial lake and small square perfect for a stroll. The bedding was comfortable, and we even received complimentary fruit and yogurt. Breakfast was delicious, and the huge parking lot makes it super convenient for those traveling by car. Overall, it's excellent value for money.
