Xining Changjiang International Hotel
9.3 (4,360 reviews)

Xining Changjiang International Hotel ★★★★

📍 No. 43 Changjiang Road, Chengzhong District, Xining

"Location: This is a major plus. There's a bus stop right outside the hotel called 'Sanjiao Huayuan West' (Triangle Garden West), which has a direct route (Bus 909) to Ta'er Monastery. I've even shared a detailed guide on a certain social media platform. If you walk uphill and slightly to the left from the hotel, you'll reach Beidajie (North Street). Turning right and walking forward from Beidajie leads you to Nandajie (South Street), Mojia Street, and attractions like Jinta Temple, Hongjiao Temple, and the Confucius Temple. All these are within a comfortable 1-2 km walking distance, which is excellent. Service: The front desk staff were competent and professional. They provided all the necessary information and reminders. While they weren't overly enthusiastic, I felt their service was very thorough and attentive. They reminded me of everything I needed to know and were responsive to requests. Facilities: I booked a business twin room on the 25th floor with outdoor views. The window could be opened. Since it faced east, the room was a bit warm when I first entered, but once the air conditioning was on, the overall temperature became comfortable. I turned off the AC at night because it got a bit chilly. The housekeeping staff were very efficient and kept the room spotless. Free bottled water was replenished daily, except for one large bottle explicitly marked in the room as costing 5 RMB – that's something to note. Afternoon Tea: I tried the afternoon tea. There was nothing particularly special about it – a pot of tea, some popcorn, four small pastries, and a small bowl of fruit. So, if you're tired and don't feel like going out, and it's offered complimentary between 2 PM and 5 PM, it's worth trying. I wouldn't recommend purchasing it separately as it's not particularly good value. Additionally, I didn't book breakfast because I wanted to sleep in. For breakfast, if you walk out of the hotel, turn right, then uphill to the first intersection and turn right again, opposite the primary school, there's a place called 'He Yonglong Da Gu Tang' (He Yonglong Big Bone Soup). I found it to be very affordable. You pay for the bone broth, and the flatbreads, sweet garlic, and dried radishes are all free. Two of us had a large bowl, and it was incredibly good value. Overall, highly recommended."

Hampton by Hilton Xining Ralway Station

Hampton by Hilton Xining Ralway Station ★★★★

📍 No. 9 Danxia Road, Chengdong District, Xining

"After returning from Golmud, I chose this hotel again. It was both my starting and ending point. After getting familiar with the surroundings, I realized the hotel's location is excellent. It's incredibly convenient for dining, shopping, and transportation, with places like Nanguan Street, Xinqian Night Market, and RT-Mart supermarket all nearby. The alley itself is quiet, but both ends are lively. The laundry room and gym are well-equipped, and both the front desk and housekeeping staff are very friendly. I highly recommend staying here."

Xining Bochen Hotel (Chengbei District Wanda Plaza) ★★★

📍 7th Floor, Tower A, Beichuan Wanda, Chengbei District, Xining

"The hotel is located right next to Wanda Plaza, which is very convenient. Parking is also quite easy; if you want to save on parking fees, you can park on the street. Out-of-town tourists won't get a ticket. The room facilities are relatively new, and the mattresses are comfortable."

Meihao Hotel (Xining Daxin Street Night Market Mojia Street) ★★★★

📍 No. 37 Yinma Street, Chengzhong District, Xining

"The location is fantastic, right on Mojia Street, and next to the Confucius Temple. You can walk to the Dongguan Mosque within 2 kilometers. Plus, they offer breakfast, afternoon tea, and late-night snacks. Highly recommended!"

Boli Yabu Hotel
9.4 (8,264 reviews)

Boli Yabu Hotel ★★★★★

📍 No. 11901, 19A Floor, Building 5, No. 130 Xiguan Street, Chengxi District, Xining

"The hotel's location and environment are good, and the window view is also nice. However, there was some renovation work going on downstairs, which slightly marred the view. On our first day, a manager at the front desk was very helpful and upgraded our room. But here's the catch: when we checked out, one staff member kept following us around as if we were trying to steal something. I was even questioned about two dental floss picks I had taken. Also, some staff members seemed to think their hotel was very high-end and weren't very friendly towards guests; their attitude even came across as a bit arrogant. This is something that definitely needs improvement."

Plateau Impression Fashion Hotel (mojiajie Daxin Street Night Market)
8.8 (1,043 reviews)

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

📍 No.4 Nanxiao Street, Chengdong District, Xining

"The stay was alright. The hotel corridors were quite wide and nicely designed, and there was even an elevator. The TV sound quality was good, and the cleanliness was also quite good. The only downside was that the cleaning lady was a bit noisy at the door while cleaning the rooms; otherwise, it was quite quiet."

"The hotel lobby's decor was luxurious and grand, and the front desk staff were incredibly polite and welcoming, their smiles were truly heartwarming.

"This hotel is newly opened and fully equipped with excellent facilities. They offer free parking right at the entrance – you just grab a ticket when you leave. The location is superb, right in the city center with tons of dining options nearby. The room was clean and hygienic, with great attention to detail. The bedding was soft and comfortable, and the soundproofing was quite good. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel also has a laundry room and a gym. The washing machines in the laundry room are all-in-one washer-dryers, which is really convenient, and they even provide free laundry detergent, disposable razors, and toilet seat covers.

原來新生酒店 Hotels in Xining

"My expectations weren't high. I chose this hotel because of the air conditioning, as it was still quite cold in Xining at night in July after showering. However, after one night, the experience was surprisingly good. First, the location is excellent, with good amenities, convenient taxi access, and plenty of food options. Second, it's a very standard hotel overall; cleanliness, elevators, and everything else were up to par. The hot water was consistent, a big plus. The air conditioning and bathtub were also a plus. One room with one bed but two bathrooms is a huge plus. The downsides are that prices in Xining are generally very high in the summer. Also, the doors aren't soundproof; I could hear everyone coming and going clearly. I suggest adding soundproofing strips to the doors; it's a low-cost option. The Tmall Genie can be used as a speaker. Overall, it's highly recommended, mainly because the cleanliness and loft-style layout are quite nice."

Sofitel Xining ★★★★★
"The hotel has been open for many years. While the lobby is beautiful, some of the in-room facilities are outdated. 😂 Even the Qinghai-Gansu Loop hotels now have smart toilets as standard. There's no air conditioning in the room (I'm not sure if this is typical for all of Xining), and it felt quite stuffy, so they sent a fan up. However, the service from the front desk, concierge, and even the room attendants was excellent – very polite and professional. Every morning, I'd see a senior manager on the first floor who would proactively greet guests and hold the elevator. The restaurant also has a good variety of dishes, but the chef wasn't very polite and seemed impatient when answering questions, and this was the case both days 🙃. The beef offal soup on the first day was even cold 🙃. The hotel's location is great, in the bustling Chenxi district, surrounded by shopping malls, making it very convenient for dining and shopping."

Hampton by Hilton Xining Ralway Station ★★★★
"Overall, it was very good. The room was bright, well-equipped, clean, and soundproof. The pillows and mattress were quite comfortable, and the service was good. Breakfast was worth the money. The only issue was with the room lights; for some reason, they stayed on all night the first night, making the room uncomfortably bright. On the second night, they were motion-sensored, so they turned completely dark when I wasn't near them, which allowed for a good rest. I guess I just didn't know how to use them properly."

Xining Bochen Hotel (Chengbei District Wanda Plaza) ★★★
"First, the location is very remote. The reception is on the seventh floor, and you have to go around to the back entrance to take the elevator. There's no sign, making it hard to find. The surrounding area is under construction, which is inconvenient. Second, the room was relatively clean, but there was some dust on the bed and pillows, which seemed to have settled there after the room had been empty for a few days. We checked in around 10 PM, and my husband took a shower. The water was still cold even after running for over 20 minutes. Finally, we remembered to ask the front desk, and they told us that the water heater was malfunctioning and it would probably take about an hour for hot water to come out. My husband took a cold shower, and ended up getting wet while waiting for hot water. He caught a cold the next morning. It was so frustrating; catching a cold while traveling is terrible. It was a very bad experience."
