Holiday Inn Express XINING RAILWAY STATION by IHG
9.4 (3,182 reviews)

Holiday Inn Express XINING RAILWAY STATION by IHG ★★★★

📍 No. 145 Huzhu West Road, Chengdong District, Chengdong District, Xining

"My experience at this international chain hotel was truly disappointing. 1. The hotel's own 6th-floor restaurant had poor food hygiene. My family of three ordered food to our room using the hotel's QR code. The next day, both adults experienced diarrhea; I had it 6 times. (On the day we ordered, we only had breakfast at a hotel by Qinghai Lake, then drove around sightseeing without eating any main meals, and only ordered food after checking into this hotel in the evening. We didn't eat anything else after that meal). 2. Around 9:35 AM, someone had locked themselves in the 8th-floor laundry room and was smoking inside. Holiday Inn is supposed to be a non-smoking hotel. 3. The hotel room card had the room number written on it with a sticker. This is a security risk. If a guest loses their room card outside, anyone who finds it could easily figure out which room it belongs to."

Plateau Impression Fashion Hotel (mojiajie Daxin Street Night Market) ★★

📍 No.4 Nanxiao Street, Chengdong District, Xining

"A serious complaint must be filed regarding the humidifier in the room, highlighting severe hygiene and safety issues. The hotel is demanding immediate rectification, thorough disinfection, and a reasonable explanation! A humidifier was placed in the room upon check-in. I turned it on at night to alleviate the dryness of Northwest China. I didn't pay any attention to the internal condition during use. After using it all night, I began experiencing a sore throat, itchy respiratory tract, and a low-grade fever, suspected to be caused by mold or insect infestation leading to a respiratory infection. Today, when I opened the humidifier lid to add water, I was horrified: the bottom of the water tank was murky and foul-smelling, with multiple live maggots floating in the water. The inner walls were covered in grime, black impurities, and rotten sediment. The entire unit hadn't been thoroughly cleaned for a long time, and the stagnant water bred insects and live worms; the hygiene was appalling."

Xining Changjiang International Hotel ★★★★

📍 No. 43 Changjiang Road, Chengzhong District, Xining

"The hotel isn't far from the train station, so it was really easy to get there by taxi. The hotel's facilities and service were both good. There are restaurants, supermarkets, fruit stores, and pharmacies nearby. We had dinner at Ga Zhang Wa BBQ right across from the hotel, and it was a very satisfying stay overall."

"Fantastic location! Right in the heart of the business district, with dining, entertainment, and shopping just downstairs – super convenient. The room was on a high floor, offering an unbeatable view from the floor-to-ceiling windows; the scenery was beautiful. The facilities are comprehensive, and there's even a free laundry room, which is a huge plus for business travelers. Service was also top-notch. Overall, a great experience – five-star recommendation!"

📍 No. 63 Wusi West Road, Chengxi District, Xining

"This hotel is simply perfect. Built in a French style, it's romantic and luxurious, making it ideal for couples. The water temperature in the room was normal, no sudden cold or hot bursts. The only downside was that the TV wasn't working. Everything else was great though."

Wanda Vista Xining Hotels in Xining

Wanda Vista Xining

"Let's start with the positives: the location is excellent, with many restaurants nearby making dining convenient, and there's an airport shuttle stop right outside. The higher floors offer a panoramic view of the city's nightscape, which was one of the reasons I chose this hotel for my last stop in Xining before flying home. However, on the second day, breakfast was a bizarre experience. They had simply set up a few tables with food in the second-floor hallway, and strangers were squeezed together at large round tables to eat. It was incredibly awkward. There were only two or three unresponsive servers who showed no service awareness. On the third day, we were informed that breakfast had returned to the first-floor restaurant, and the food and environment were finally up to a normal hotel standard. Since my flight was in the afternoon, I called the front desk and was granted a late check-out until 3 PM, which shows the hotel's consideration for guests and good service. This is also why I gave a higher rating."

Yinlong Hotel Hotels in Xining

Yinlong Hotel

"The Silver Dragon Hotel has been our go-to hotel for family visits for the past few years. Despite being a bit older, its facilities and service have consistently been excellent, which is why we've always been very satisfied with our stays. However, there was one significant issue with room 810 during our recent stay! The shower in this room is incredibly small. While it's fine that it doesn't have a separate tub and shower like other rooms, the showerhead points directly at the door, the drain isn't deep enough, and the threshold isn't high enough. This means that if you use too much water, it overflows, flooding the entire bathroom after just one person showers. We had to use a large number of towels to soak up the water, which is a serious slipping hazard. We truly hope this issue can be properly addressed by our next visit. After all, this is a hotel our entire family loves, and we hope it continues to improve!"

"The room was spacious, and everything necessary was there. My room didn't have AC, but a double layer of windows so it's not noisy to keep it open at night. Shower was really big, but the opposite wall from the tap had dust and other people hair. We managed communication with translator apps and call to manager :)"

"A cozy quirky little spot in Xining. Good for a short term stay. The location is in a safe, walkable distance from Mojia street market and Dongguan Mosque. Just some things to be mindful of is there a lot of stairs, which is common in most hostels. So if you are not sure if you can handle a lot of stairs, it might be something to consider. Also there is a lot of construction in the neighboring area so sometimes there is a lot of noise between that and the school across the street. Overall, the amenities are good and you can even rent a bicycle for 50¥ a day."

Qingbin NO.1 Hotel Hotels in Xining

Qingbin NO.1 Hotel

"The room was quite spacious and well-equipped. It felt like a stylishly renovated studio apartment converted into a hotel, with floor-to-ceiling windows on almost three sides and even a bar counter with high stools! That was an unexpected bonus. Free parking was available, complimentary snacks were provided, and the nightstands even had wireless charging. Located on the 29th floor of the Wanda Plaza building, the view was quite good. However, being in the Wanda Plaza building and sharing elevators with many other hotels meant there were a lot of guests, making the elevator experience quite frustrating. Additionally, the towels, bath towels, and bathrobes were casually placed on the vanity and had hairs on them. Luckily, we had brought our own disposable toiletries. For some reason, the room had a strong food smell, making it feel like we were staying in a restaurant. It was a pity, considering the otherwise excellent facilities and decor. Since it was only for one night, we just put up with it. Perhaps those who enjoy strong food aromas wouldn't mind this particular aspect. All in all, the hotel was still pretty good."

Holiday Inn Express XINING RAILWAY STATION by IHG ★★★★
"The room was very spacious, with modern decor, and spotlessly clean. The bathroom was also excellent, with a separate wet and dry area. The location is incredibly convenient, just a 10-minute walk from both the train and bus stations. It's also close to a great food street with delicious local eats, and the local specialties aren't expensive. I stayed for two nights and was very happy with my choice."

Hilton Garden Inn Xining Chengdong ★★★★
"Friends and I planned a road trip along the Qinghai-Gansu Loop, and choosing to stay at this Hilton Garden Inn as our very first stop in Xining was a fantastic decision! The front desk handled check-in quickly, and the service was warm and welcoming. We booked a family room, which had a very well-thought-out layout; it was clean, tidy, and the bedding offered a great balance of firmness and softness, making it extremely comfortable. The hotel has its own underground parking garage, which is super convenient for road-trippers. The 24-hour self-service laundry room and fitness center are also incredibly practical. Breakfast featured a rich variety of options, including some local specialties. Overall, it was quiet and comfortable—highly recommended as a basecamp before heading out on the loop trip."

Xining Changjiang International Hotel ★★★★
"The hotel parking is convenient, but there's no charging station, which isn't very friendly for electric vehicles. The breakfast offers a rich and varied selection, with a nice mix of Chinese and Western dishes. The à la carte dinner was delicious and the waitstaff were very attentive, much more so than the breakfast staff. I don't understand why there's such a big difference in service within the same hotel."

"This is probably the best hotel in Xining. The service and facilities are well-maintained, the rooms are spacious, the bedding is comfortable, and the cleanliness is excellent. It's located in a bustling area with several shopping complexes nearby, which might lead to some noise at night (due to outside activities)."

H Hotel (Xining Central Plaza) ★★★
"Needs renovation. The hotel and the room are worn out and there is a mismatch in furniture styles. The beds were not comfortable. I kind of got an Belarussian small town hotel vibes from this place. Bathroom facilities were more crisp though, and the room was clean per se. Also, the backyard direction was quiet. Friendly staff."
