5-Star Hotels in Inner Mongolia, China

I stayed at the Shangri-La during my May Day holiday trip to Hohhot. I was a bit worried beforehand about the hotel being older, but the reliable service exceeded my expectations. The location is excellent; it's a short walk to MixC Shopping Mall, and not far from Dazhao Temple and Saishang Old Street, making getting around very convenient. I stayed in an Executive Suite, which had a one-bedroom, one-living room layout. The separate living room and bedroom made for a spacious and bright environment, perfect for traveling with two kids. They had already arranged an extra bed for my older child and a cot for the younger one before we checked in. The most delightful surprise was how the hotel showcased the grassland culture everywhere. The lobby featured yurts and hada (ceremonial scarves) to welcome guests, and horse-themed artworks were visible throughout. You could even try on Mongolian robes for a free photo op, allowing us to experience the rich Inner Mongolian culture without even leaving the hotel. Breakfast also had a strong local flavor. There were freshly made lamb shaomai, authentic lamb offal soup, and Mongolian milk tea – all the local specialties you could wish for. The Executive Lounge offered soft drinks, snacks, and fruits all day. During happy hour, the light dinner included about six hot dishes, with main courses ranging from shaomai to pizza and sushi. The service, from the doorman to the cleaning staff, was warm and attentive. The swimming pool was heated, and the fitness facilities were well-equipped. As an established five-star hotel in Hohhot, it's well-maintained overall and highly recommended!

room was clean and spacious. No complaints here. Checking in and out worked smoothly. But 2 things I have to complain about: 1) I have no idea why some people say the breakfast is great. For me and my wife it was terrible. Possibly the worst breakfast I ever had. Yes, they have a lot to offer. But somehow they make everything taste cheap and ”weird”. I ended up eating some dry bread with jam, because I couldn't eat anything else. I suspect that they don't cook by themselves, but buy some cheap readymade food and sell it as ”fresh”. Also, the breakfast still looks exactly the same as the pictures from more than 6 months ago. No change at all 2) no option to clean the clothes is ridiculous. I have no problem to pay or wash by myself but both they didn't allow me to do. I never saw this before. All in all it's not bad. If you don't care about the breakfast and don't want to wash your clothes, this hotel might be for you. The rooms are good and the service also very nice (apart from ”you can guess” the breakfast staff)

The best hotel in Baotou. The location is excellent, right next to Wanda Plaza, City Park, and a food street. The food at Xiang Palace is good and reasonably priced. The above-ground and underground parking lots are large enough and convenient for self-driving. The only drawback is that the path from the above-ground parking lot to the lobby is gravel, which is not luggage-friendly.

Bumped into a front desk staff member in the elevator, and he kindly pressed my floor for me. The room's carpet is thick, so you can't hear footsteps when you walk on it 🌙. The mattress is just the right firmness, and I slept soundly until six in the morning; the curtains block out light completely. There's a drawer under the sink, so the hairdryer isn't in the way. It's a three-minute walk to the subway entrance, so you don't even need an umbrella on rainy days 🚇.

The hotel's location is excellent, offering a quiet retreat in the midst of a bustling area. The rooms are new and very clean. They also offer airport pick-up service, and the front desk staff is incredibly warm and attentive. They even gave me a beautifully crafted special souvenir from Inner Mongolia. The breakfast spread was very generous. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.

My partner and I stayed here during our bicycle travels in China. The hotel was very generous holding a package for us for several months as we traveled from Xinjiang through Mongolia and back to China. They also held our bicycles for a week while we took a hiatus to Datong. The staff were friendly and Mark spoke excellent English and helped us a lot with arranging for taxis or other things that we needed. There are not any restaurants or really other businesses nearby - we needed to taxi into town for anything. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean on our initial stay. The pool was just a few lanes and the gym was pretty sparse, but both exist. The restaurant breakfast buffet was expansive but also expensive. It was better when the hotel was busy and the food turnover higher.

The hotel's surroundings are very pleasant. There's a botanical garden right next door where the hostas were recently in full bloom, making it a lovely place for a walk if you have time. The room itself was quite spacious, and the view from the floor-to-ceiling window was excellent. Both the front desk and housekeeping staff were very warm and helpful. The only minor drawback was that the air conditioning wasn't very effective, requiring a bit of patience for the room to cool down.

我預訂的時候特意寫了高樓層，但給了我2樓的房間，並且窗外是破屋頂……洗澡下水有點堵，然後早飯八點半去吃是涼的……基本都是涼的，包括菜和煎雞蛋，跟餐廳服務員反饋，她還嘴硬…… 好的是前台兩個女孩服務態度非常好，有求必應，也要第一時間幫我們換房間，但已經洗澡了就想着算了，不然搬東西什麼的很麻煩。總體來説還行吧，剛開業希望以後越來越完善吧。

The room was very spacious, with a luxurious European-style decor that immediately gave off a sense of elegance and comfort. We arrived around 8 or 9 PM, and the lobby was bustling with people taking photos. The facilities inside were comprehensive; due to time constraints, we only managed to visit the restaurant, and breakfast was excellent. It's a small pity we didn't get a chance to explore the passage connecting the castle and the other Matryoshka hotel. The hotel service was fantastic; a big thank you to the staff (both male and female) who proactively helped with our luggage. My family was very satisfied, and the kids absolutely loved it.

The room was a bit warm, so they upgraded us to a suite. The facilities were excellent and clean, and the surrounding area was very lively. The service was exceptional; the staff had a five-star hotel quality, being proactive and attentive. They even provided a vase for guests to display fresh flowers, which was a lovely touch.
