Hostels in Xinjiang, China

The location is excellent, very close to Kashgar Old City (West District), making it easy to walk over for photos day or night. The room was clean and tidy. There are many fruit stands and snack shops near the guesthouse. Overall, the accommodation offers great value for money. Most notably, the owner is very warm and thoughtful, helping guests with parking and providing information about attractions and transportation, which made us feel right at home. In short, we were very satisfied and give it a five-star rating! If we come to Kashgar again, we will definitely choose this hotel.

I originally didn't want to write this glowing review, fearing it would become too popular and I wouldn't be able to book a stay again. But after a few days, I felt I'd be doing myself a disservice not to. The hostel is right next to the bustling Liuxing Street in the city center. Step outside, and you're amidst vibrant streets and alleys where you can find baked buns,拌面 (banmian – mixed noodles), and hand-pulled rice dishes just a few steps away. It's also convenient for getting to the bus station and the airport. Yet, once you turn into the alley, it becomes wonderfully quiet. The old locust tree at the entrance is adorned with colorful wishing tags – red, yellow, blue – gently swaying in the breeze, as if whispering everyday stories for passersby. The front desk staff are incredibly responsive; messages are answered almost instantly. They patiently help you with directions and arranging shared rides, always enthusiastic and thoughtful without being intrusive – a comfortable balance. The rooms and beds are clean and tidy, changed for every guest, washed and sun-dried. The entire hostel is non-smoking, so the air is so fresh it makes you want to take a deep breath. Staying here feels secure, and you wake up refreshed. The facilities are complete, and the self-service kitchen is convenient and quick, with pots, pans, utensils, and seasonings available. You can store leftover fruit in the fridge and eat it the next day, which is both money-saving and comfortable. The cafe offers freshly ground, professionally made coffee that's delicious and not expensive; one cup can last you an entire afternoon. The reading room is elegant and quiet, with well-worn books that sometimes have pencil notes left by previous readers – you can easily lose track of time there. There's a strong international vibe, with backpackers from various countries chatting in the common area, a mix of English, French, and Spanish. You can join in or just smile and listen, and no one will find it strange. In the end, I did write this – a five-star review, truly recommended. I hope it becomes popular, yet I also fear it becoming too popular. But good things should be known by more people. Next time I come to Yining, I'll definitely stay here again.

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)

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.

I stayed in this place for two nights and my experience was positive. An owner is very friendly and helpful. He is very smart guy. He speaks good English and communication was smooth. Bathroom is very clean and modern. I really enjoyed my stay and i recommend it for all solo travellers.

Located in a convenient area, the hostel is easily accessible from Kuqa Railway Station by bus or taxi. It's also within walking distance of Kuqa Royal Palace and the pedestrian street, making it a great base for exploring the city. Without a private vehicle, it's difficult to visit nearby attractions such as the Tianshan Grand Canyon and Kiziliya. Staying here makes it easy to find other travelers to share a taxi or sightseeing plans. As a relatively new hostel, the facilities are excellent. The beds are comfortable, and the bedding is clean and well maintained. As other reviews have mentioned, the sink is located in the center, with the toilet and shower room separated on either side. This layout makes the shared facilities much less crowded and more convenient to use. The hostel sign is a little difficult to spot from the main road. From the intersection, walk about 30 meters into the large open square (parking area), and you'll find the single-story building on your left. Thank you for your warm hospitality. I hope to see you again!

This hostel offers a truly fantastic experience! There's a dedicated area for working or studying, and also a common space where everyone can gather to watch TV. The public area is well-equipped with a microwave, kettle, and refrigerator, all available for free use, which is super convenient. The front desk staff are incredibly friendly and even organize fun activities, like teaching guests ethnic dances. Here, you can meet people from all over the country and even different parts of the world, creating an amazing atmosphere. Not only can you get a good rest, but you also get to connect with many interesting fellow travelers. It's excellent value for money and highly recommended!

This guesthouse is perfectly located in the heart of the Old City's western district, on Bhagqi Lane, a street known for its B&Bs. It's just 100 meters from the West Gate, where there's a dedicated parking lot. Getting a taxi from here is super easy, and it's only a 20-minute drive to the airport or train station. You're right next to Rainbow Lane, Budai Lane, and Qiamen Wanhu, with a century-old teahouse, mosques, and the ancient Ustar Boys Street all nearby. The Fig Tree Courtyard is a unique gem in the Old City, featuring beautiful French architecture and two ancient fig trees that are hundreds of years old. The courtyard is wonderfully cool, about 5-10 degrees Celsius cooler than outside. Sitting there is pure bliss – it's incredibly quiet, allowing you to easily sleep until noon. The bedding is very comfortable, soft, and feels great against your skin, and the mattress is excellent for relieving fatigue. The room itself is spacious, neat, clean, and hygienic. The owner is incredibly warm-hearted, an amazing cook, and patiently offers great recommendations for local food and attractions. Kashi Love Song was even filmed here!

This hotel boasts an excellent location, almost directly opposite the century-old teahouse, placing it right in the heart of the ancient city. Male dorms are on the second floor, female dorms on the third, and the rooftop is on the fourth. The hotel is home to several adorable cats, including British Shorthairs and a 'Big Orange' (ginger cat). The price is incredibly reasonable; a few tens of yuan in Kashgar is a fantastic deal, in my opinion. I personally saw the quilts, pillowcases, and sheets being changed for new ones! They even smelled like they'd been sun-dried. The room was very quiet at night, with no noise allowed inside. I'm very satisfied! Highly recommend!

Really attentive and friendly staff in a welcomg environment made for a great stay. The Wifi didnt really work, but aside from this, everything was great. Sometimes the hostel was busy and sometimes it was quiet. Upon arriving their was a fellow traveller from Belgium and some Spanish and British before him. The interior design is fun and quirky and they have three cute cats and a small outside smoking area. I opted for the six bed dorm which was empty for 5 of the eight nights I stayed. Each bed has a fan, curtains, a small cupboard and shelf and an outlet. They have a fridge too and drinking water. For ski season it would appear they have skis and equiptment to rent too. Overall everything was great and I recommend going to the nearby farmers market around 5pm to get freshly baked 3 Yuan somsas :)
