Hostels in Xinjiang, China

The location is excellent! It's just a few bus stops from the train station, or a short taxi ride away, and it's not far from the city center. As soon as you enter, you can feel the backpacker vibe. The first floor is a common area with a lounge for relaxing on sofas and watching TV, and an entertainment area with a pool table. After checking in, the staff gives you sheets, slippers, and even a bottle of water (so thoughtful!). I was amazed when I entered the room – it's the largest hostel room I've ever stayed in, with a private bathroom and lockers for your belongings. On the third floor, you can hang clothes and even sit on the balcony to enjoy the breeze. I have to mention the group tours; the hostel organizes daily trips to Sayram Lake and Kuerdening Grassland. Their tour leaders are incredibly well-rounded (they know all the best places to eat, play, take photos, fly drones, drive, play instruments, and provide emotional support). Yining is a place you'll want to visit again, and Backpacker's Decade is definitely the place to stay when you're there. For backpackers, it's the absolute best choice for a trip to Yining!

This hostel is an amazing place in Ili. Full of sweet people, really good coffee, a kitchen to cook and a cosy reading room bathed in light. Great location, quiet but close to many restaurants and a main street. Volonteers are really friendly. They are helpful to start well your trip in China, and organized some tours in beautiful places around, Beds are wides, with curtains, light, shelf and power outlet. There is closet for each. This hostel is really clean and comfy, I certainly come back here for my next stay in Ili 🌞

This hostel has a strict no-smoking policy throughout, so the indoor air is fresh and the environment is clean and comfortable, completely free from any smoke smell. The rooms and common areas are cleaned daily by the staff. The owner and guests are incredibly friendly, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere where everyone gets along well. There are daily activities like learning Uyghur and dancing, and the everyday interactions are heartwarming. The common areas are neat and cozy, and the facilities are comprehensive. It offers excellent value for money, provides a great sense of security, and is suitable for both solo travelers and groups. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I visit. Highly recommended!

It's great for a hostel, good design, seem like Japanese style, clean and tidy. I can't expect more about amenity for a hostel. It's also decorated for trekking guy and the host really good at this point. He spent 1 hour to help me make a plan for my coming trip.

The best hostel in the city, i did 2 hostel in this city and this one is by far the best. The room is so nice with Xinjiang carpet i love it so much. The yard is big with everything as washing machine or kitchen, and a place for rest with a cute cat and a mulberry tree with free natural mulberry. The location is so nice close to the best place in Yining. All the girls at the reception are so nice and welcoming with a very good english. When i will comeback in the city i will book again this place without hesitation. I hope to see foreigners there in the future.

Super nice hostel in the old city with a peaceful vibe. The rooms are excellent value for money, clean and well equipped. I had the best night's sleep I had in ages. The hostel is built around a courtyard with mature trees in the centre which keeps it cool in the day. There is a well equipped kitchen, free laundry and the atmosphere is friendly. If you are cycling or on a motorbike you can store these safely in the courtyard.

Had a fantastic experience! Being an all-female hostel, it was so much more comfortable and relaxed for us to chat. The owner was also lovely to talk to, and it really felt like a warm and cozy home away from home with a great sense of community. I'll definitely be back here next time I'm in Kashgar. A big plus is that it's an all-female hostel, so no unpleasant cigarette smells!

Nice quiet hostel where it is easy to relax. The bed is comfy, no gas to cook but there is hot water a microwave and a few other appliances you can use. It's a bit away from the ancient city but there are plenty of other shopping streets nearby. I left my bike outside the door because it's a very safe area. There were some very friendly people in the hostel who helped me navigate the Chinese way of doing things. It's really good value staying here, would recommend. Message them if you have difficult finding the place.

This hotel really exceeded expectations and must give a big praise! I felt full of sincerity from the beginning of the door. The front desk lady smiled very kindly. The check-in speed was super fast. She also took the initiative to introduce the hotel's facilities and the surrounding convenient information, which made people feel very warm at once. The room was even more pleasant. As soon as I opened the door, I smelled a faint fragrance and there was no smell at all. The sheets and quilts were clean as new, and they felt very comfortable. The pillows were moderately soft and hard. I didn't want to get up after sleeping for one night. The bathroom was spotless, the hot water was out in seconds, the water pressure was just right, and the toiletries were all brand goods, so you can rest assured. There is no need to pick the facilities, air conditioning, cooling and heating

The location is great. The shower and toilet at 2nd floor need to be clean regularly. Also it helps to put curtains at both the entrance/exit because when you take shower, the wind/ cold air really send shivers down your spine. Please please fix the door at 209, 211. When you want to close the door from the outside, you have to pull to shut it and the bang can wake up the whole neighborhood.
