Hostels in Xinjiang, China

Excellent service and a very clean, spacious room with comfortable bedding. The location is fantastic, right at the entrance of the ancient city. Popular spots like the century-old teahouse, Id Kah Mosque, Rainbow Alley, Buidai Alley, 'Grandpa's Grandpa's Father's Nang' (a famous naan shop), and Oil Painting Street are all just a stone's throw from Guilai Inn. There are plenty of local eateries downstairs, making dining very convenient. The owner is very welcoming, and the soundproofing in the rooms is excellent. The night views are beautiful and captivating. Plus, there are bus stops nearby for easy access to the airport and train station. It was a pleasant trip and I highly recommend it; you definitely won't regret staying at this inn.

We initially booked a room with windows, but upon arrival they told us there were only rooms without window left. So we did not had another choice than to take it. We negotiated with the owner and he gave us some discount. The walls in the room were quite filthy with lots of stains on it and the bathroom was missing a door. When taking a shower, the whole floor was under water because the drains are probably clogged massively. The owner and the receptionist were both very friendly though and the hotel is in a very good location right next to the metro station and shopping mall.

In Yining, this is a place where you can truly slow down. I've stayed in hostels all over the world, and this one honestly ranks among the top, a real 'white moonlight' experience (meaning it's exceptional and unforgettable). The cafe at the entrance is clean and tidy. In the evenings, travelers gather there to chat and relax, which is wonderfully leisurely. There's also my favorite reading area, perfect for practicing calligraphy, finding peace, or simply reading. It's a quiet space for focused contemplation, also great for introverted friends. The communal kitchen greatly simplifies meal planning for travelers. You can cook your own healthy and affordable food. I often shared meals with other hostel guests, finding new dining companions every night. We'd chat, and every meal was lively and had an amazing atmosphere. Here, you get to experience the most authentic and vibrant slice of life. I've stayed in both the dorms and the tents, and each has its own unique charm. The bunk beds in the dorms are equipped with air conditioning, ensuring a comfortable sleep even in the summer heat. The tents offer a more private space, which is a different kind of experience. The infrastructure is also excellent; with mosquito zappers, you don't have to worry about mosquito bites.

The decoration is very novel The boss is very nice. I went to Ta County for two days. I told the boss about my luggage and he helped me store it! I met a sister from Nanning at the youth hostel and she was also very nice! Kashgar I will come again By the way, Ta County is worth a visit! But don’t sign up for a tour group from Central Asia! I didn’t go to many scenic spots, and when I arrived at the scenic spot, I was asked to come back in 5 minutes, come back in 10 minutes, and give me a maximum of 40 minutes of play time (black man’s question mark face). Then the weather was 38 or 9 degrees, and the driver drove with the windows open! (crying face)

It was my second time staying here, the place is beautiful and I met so many nice girls who I ended up hanging out with while I was in Yining. The Kazanqi area around the hostel is lovely, walking distance from great restaurants and shops. I was able to put things I the fridge and freezer and use the kitchen at the hostel. The courtyard and balcony are such nice places to sit and do work or eat there was also a puppy which was so cute!! The rooms were clean and comfortable, with cute decor and the toilet/shower room in the room is modern and clean. I definitely recommend!

Came to Kashgar with friends on motorcycles and stayed at 'Guren Gui' – best decision ever! The landlady is an amazing cook, and you can join in for shared meals. Parking is super easy right outside the courtyard. Plus, there are mulberries and figs you can pick freely. There were also a lot of foreigners here, and chatting with them was really fun. The hostel common area is huge and super comfy on the first floor, not hot at all, and you can even sing and dance together.

A pleasant surprise! The hostel is a restored rammed-earth building with super modern dorms surrounding a simple courtyard. Great combo of comfort and character. Not much English but they deal well with foreigners and I also found the Chinese guests here to be particularly welcoming and fun. Kuqa Town also exceeded my expectations, it is very pleasant and interesting to wander around. The best areas are across the river, especially the main drag which has plenty going on and great food.

Five stars, highly recommended! This hostel is an absolute gem for solo travelers. The location is superb, very close to the subway station, with plenty of restaurants and attractions nearby, making it incredibly convenient for getting around and shopping. The overall cleanliness exceeded my expectations. The rooms, bathrooms, and common areas are cleaned daily, and there's no unpleasant smell. Each bed comes with a blackout curtain, charging socket, and a locker, offering great privacy. The mattress is soft, and the environment is quiet at night, ensuring a high-quality rest. The owner and front desk staff are warm and thoughtful; they share local tour routes and food recommendations, which is incredibly helpful for planning your trip. The common area has a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for chatting and connecting with backpackers from all over. If you prefer not to socialize, you can also quietly enjoy your own company – it's super chill. The price is affordable, offering excellent value for money. It's clean and safe, making it ideal for students and backpackers. This will be my top choice when visiting this area, and I'll definitely stay here again!

The room was spotless and was cleaned daily during my three-day stay. The owner has an amazing personality and patiently answered all my questions about local travel tips, which I really appreciated 🙏. The hostel has a fantastic vibe; everyone was making plans to explore together, watching movies, singing, playing games, and those who were good at cooking even prepared meals – just remember to clean up afterwards! I had a truly wonderful and comfortable stay, it was definitely a highlight of my Xinjiang trip.

Very reliable and secure compound. Situated on the 9th and 10th floors of the Super 8 hotel, this hostel is quite quiet and comfortable. The staff were pleasant and the interior was frequently patrolled by security. The only notable factor for prospective tourists was that the. domestic guests in the male room were quite rough. A lot of inside smoking and loudness.
