July 10-11 to Liangdu alone, stay at Zijin B&B. It is adjacent to Dongguan Street, Mojia Street, Daxin Street, Xiaoxin Street Commercial, Night Market Centralized Area, convenient access, clean, hygienic, quiet and warm environment. The boss is warm and thoughtful, giving the best guide to Qinghai Lake and Ta'er Temple two famous scenic spots and helping to book, so that I can effectively use the time to fill my eyes; recommend Yixin hand-caught lamb, Mazhong sheep intestine noodles local food, so that I don't have much foot effort, you can have a full mouth. Because a store, a boss, fell in love with a city. Just left, I started to miss it. Go home and work hard to earn money, and strive to come back in winter!

YangdayuerStaying at the Sapphire Hotel in Xining was a much better experience than I expected. I was pleasantly surprised to find that breakfast was included, and it was excellent with a wide variety of choices, including delicious beef noodles. As I was driving an electric car, having charging stations at the hotel was incredibly convenient and solved my charging worries. The room was spacious and clean, and I slept very well. The hotel's location is fantastic, not far from Limeng Pedestrian Street and the Provincial Museum, making getting around very easy. The staff were all very helpful and responsive. If I come back to Xining, I would definitely choose this hotel again, and I highly recommend it to anyone self-driving to Qinghai.

DahanxiaoleThe newly opened hotel, the front desk, the guard, the master, is very warm and super good, feel the simplicity and hospitality of the northwest folk customs. The room is quite spacious, the facilities are very new and clean, close to the city, and it is also very close to Xining Wildlife, only more than 10 minutes drive. Breakfast is also very rich, the ramen is very delicious, it feels better than the previous day in Lanzhou. Before leaving, we pulled the clothes, but fortunately the cleaning aunt reminded me very much in time. In short, a very good hotel is recommended

Guest UserMy recent business trip to Xining led me to this hotel, and I must say the overall experience was outstanding. The front desk staff were incredibly attentive and efficient; check-in was quick, and they even helped carry my luggage to the room. The room's facilities were new and complete, with a fresh and elegant ambiance. The decor was simple yet cozy. Complimentary disposable toiletries, bottled water, and tea were provided. The hotel maintained strict hygiene standards; the bedding was changed after each guest, and the entire room was meticulously cleaned, with no dust in even the trickiest corners. Overall, everything was excellent. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Xining.

Xining Westin Hotel (commonly known as Westin) Overall Real Reviews
With an average rating of 4.6/5 on the platform, it's a high-value local luxury hotel in the city center, not an international Marriott Westin. Its advantages and disadvantages are clearly distinguished:
I. Core Positive Reviews (Frequently Praised by Guests)
1. Excellent Location, Top Choice for Shopping and Dining
- 3-minute walk to Wangfujing and Central Square; Xinghai Road Food Street and Shuijing Lane snacks are just downstairs, offering hand-pulled noodles, liangpi (cold skin noodles), and yogurt right outside.
- Airport bus stop nearby; 10-minute taxi ride to Xining Railway Station, convenient for self-driving, independent travel, and business trips.
- Yellow River riverside promenade downstairs, pleasant for evening strolls.
2. Cleanliness and Facilities Adapted to High Altitude Conditions
- Cleanliness rating 4.7; meticulous room cleaning, soft bedding, 24-hour hot water, and separate wet and dry bathroom. The entire room has underfloor heating, ensuring a comfortable stay in autumn and winter; it's equipped with a makeup mirror with a light, multiple charging outlets, disposable towels, toilet seat covers, and a feminine hygiene kit – thoughtful details.
- Oxygen-equipped rooms are a major highlight: diffused oxygen generation, ideal for first-time visitors to Xining worried about altitude sickness; the front desk offers free oxygen and basic altitude sickness medication, and some rooms have humidifiers.
3. Warm and responsive service
- 24-hour front desk, proactive assistance with luggage, recommendations for Qinghai Lake/Chaka routes, and free late check-out until 2 PM.
- Some guests receive a complimentary evening sweet soup; any requests are addressed within minutes, and returning guests often receive free room upgrades.
4. Excellent value breakfast
7:30-9:30 buffet, including local specialties: freshly cooked beef noodles, Qinghai yogurt, hand-grabbed rice, milk tea, and a full range of Chinese, Western, and halal dishes; an extra breakfast is only 28 RMB per person, generous portions and authentic flavors.
5. **Price-Friendly**
Regular room rates are 140-300 RMB, and even rooms with oxygen supply are reasonably priced. Compared to chain hotels in the same area, this one offers better space and amenities.
**II. Negative Reviews (Please Note Before Checking In)**
1. Significant Room Variations: Room sizes vary considerably for the same price range, with some lower floors feeling cramped. A few rooms have a slight odor coming from the bathroom drain; closing the bathroom door helps, and the front desk provides air freshener, but this is only a temporary solution.
2. Parking Inconvenience: The underground parking garage lacks automatic access control; you have to call staff to open the gate each time you enter or exit, a common complaint from drivers.
3. Ventilation and Odor Issues: Some lower floors and hallways have a slight musty smell; opening windows provides only limited relief.
4. No Air Conditioning: Only underfloor heating; rooms tend to be stuffy in summer, requiring you to open windows to cool them down.
5. Only one set of disposable bath towels is provided; multiple guests need to request additional towels from the front desk.
**III. Suitable & Unsuitable Groups**
**Recommended Stay**
- For tourists exploring Xining and those on the Qinghai loop (oxygen supply rooms are available for those experiencing altitude sickness)
- For short-term business trips, family short trips, and self-driving travelers:
- Budget around 200 (currency unspecified), looking for clean and comfortable accommodation in the city center with breakfast included.
Not recommended:
- Seeking international five-star standards, concerned about smells in old building hallways.
- Long-term self-driving travelers, frequent garage access, and find parking procedures cumbersome.
- Afraid of heat in summer and reliant on air conditioning.
IV. Practical Suggestions for Check-in:
1. If worried about altitude sickness, book a room with diffused oxygen supply and inform the front desk in advance to prepare oxygen.
2. Request a higher floor during check-in to avoid the ground floor and reduce odors and noise.
3. If driving, allow extra time to call and open the door, as parking may be inconvenient if you return late.
4. Advance booking is recommended during peak seasons, as prices may increase slightly during holidays.

This is honestly the best deal in town. I have been coming to Xining for 10 years, stayed in different hotels each time. This is for sure my favourite one and the best deal in this range of prices.
First, the location. Right in the city centre, with a lot of taxis coming by (this can be an issue for hotels in other locations, where taxis are more rare). It is super convenient and one can reach any part of town efficiently and quickly. There are many buses that go from here to anywhere in town.
Second, the quality of the room, of the bed (super super cosy and comfortable, which is really nice after travelling roughly for two weeks in the nearby countryside), the cleanliness of the room and bathroom. Very good hygiene products, not cheap toothpaste and soap like in other hotels.
Third, and most importantly, the quality and warmth of the service. At the reception, the employees are very friendly and understanding, very warm-hearted, You feel really welcome in this hotel. They have helped me in several ways. especially Mrs Jane and Mrs Sunny Bai: fantastic people! They also speak English! Makes the whole stay memorable, enjoyable, relaxing.
I will surely come back here next time. This is an upper-tier hotel made available with affordable prices.
Thank you!

HuihuibushilianainaoThis was my first time staying in a youth hostel and it was a great experience. There are three of us. When we booked the room, we basically looked at a four-person room, but the store was very attentive and reserved a room for us specifically for three people. The store owner is also very nice. Especially that little sister. Love it, love it! ! ! !
