Cheap Hotels in Xining

"This is probably the best hotel in Xining. The service and facilities are well-maintained, the rooms are spacious, the bedding is comfortable, and the cleanliness is excellent. It's located in a bustling area with several shopping complexes nearby, which might lead to some noise at night (due to outside activities)."

"Took us some time to understand how things function in the room, but we finally got it. We missed the AC most. Although the city is at almost 2300 m alttitude, it can get hot in the summer and there's only a narrow window in the room. Too little to cool it over the night. No fridge means no cold drinks either. And also the shower nozzle is not fully functional. Water is fighting its way out of that 😵 But there is a nice lobby and also the room looks good. We did get a surprise snack around 10.00 pm. All put together I would say 'Better try one of the other hotels in the neighbourhood.'"

"The hotel is located in the city center, which is convenient if you're driving. The breakfast selection is also quite rich. You don't have to go far, as the hotel's second-floor restaurant serves authentic Northwestern cuisine. My only complaint is that there are too few elevators, so you often have to wait several rounds to get on one, especially during breakfast."

"The location is excellent, very close to all the attractions! No need to take a taxi, just head out and see everything. Facilities: The public area on the first floor is very nice. Cleanliness: Good. Environment: Beautiful and elegant. Service: Attentive care for every guest."

"My last night in Xining, I chose this hotel mainly because it's close enough to the train station. The hotel's underground parking lot seems to have a limited number of spaces (similar to the Holiday Inn Express I stayed at before). You need to get a handwritten pass from the front desk to enter and exit without paying for parking. I arrived around 3:30 PM, and they said the room was still being inspected, so I had to wait a bit before getting the room card. The front desk also gave me two complimentary vouchers for afternoon tea on the top floor. I checked it out later, and honestly, it felt less impressive than the breakfast's dessert, fruit, and beverage selection. 😅 I got a room on the 20th floor with views of the mountains to the north and south of Xining, so I guess you could call it a ”mountain view + city view” room. Breakfast was pretty standard. The local specialties from Qinghai were 'sanzi' and 'huahua' (I think that's what it was called, also a fried starchy food). Similar to other HUAZHU hotels I've stayed at, this one had many tourists from eastern China. Around 8 AM, the restaurant and elevators became particularly crowded. Goodbye, Xining! 👋"

"Five-star review! ✨ Super convenient for electric car owners with the hotel's own charging stations. The front desk staff were attentive and friendly, and their service was top-notch. The rooms were spotless, tidy, and quiet, making for a fantastic stay. I'll definitely choose this hotel again for my next trip!"

"The hotel's location is excellent, with convenient access to dining, shopping, and transportation. Our room on a high floor offered beautiful views overlooking Xining city. The duty manager, 'Xiyifang' (laundry room), was incredibly warm and attentive. Seeing we had a child, they proactively upgraded our room for free, which was very thoughtful. There's also a late-night snack service; if you're hungry coming back late, you can grab some wontons or tangyuan. It's really good. Highly recommend. Finally, Qinghai is absolutely stunning, a must-visit!"

"The experience of this e-sports hotel exceeded expectations, the computer configuration is very high, the high-end graphics card is matched with 2K high swipe screen, the whole process of running large games is silky and no carding, the gigabit network delay is very low, and the group battle is particularly stable. The e-sports chair supports very well, and it will not be sore when sitting for a long time. The room was cleaned very clean, there was no smell, the sound insulation effect was excellent, the front desk service was warm and thoughtful, the price was full, and the friend was the first choice, and I would come again next time."

"I was very satisfied with my stay this time. The hotel's cleanliness was top-notch, with the entire room thoroughly cleaned. The room had great natural light, was spacious, and the mattress was just right – I slept soundly all night. The front desk staff were warm, polite, and processed my check-in efficiently and quickly. Their service was thoughtful and discreet, without being intrusive. The facilities were in perfect condition, the internet speed was fast, and the wet/dry separation in the bathroom was very well designed. The location is excellent, making it convenient for getting around and finding food. For its price range, it offers outstanding value for money. I truly felt at home. I've saved this place and will definitely choose it again next time I visit. I genuinely recommend it to everyone."

"On this business trip to Xining, I stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn Xining Chengdong the entire time, and my overall experience was fantastic. I have to especially commend Julie at the front desk; her meticulous service made me feel incredibly welcome. The hotel is located on Bayi East Road in Chengdong District, right next to Wuyue Plaza, making dining and shopping very convenient. It's also not far from the highway entrance and Xining Station, which is great for both driving and public transport. As a newly opened hotel, the lobby design is elegant, and the room amenities are brand new and complete. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer a wide view, and the room was spotlessly clean. The 24-hour gym and self-service laundry facilities are well-equipped, and the breakfast buffet offers a rich variety, including local Qinghai specialties like yak yogurt and甜醅 (sweet fermented oats). I arrived feeling exhausted in the evening after a long journey. Julie greeted me with a constant smile and efficiently handled the check-in process. Seeing my heavy luggage, she proactively offered to help carry it and patiently explained the room facilities, Wi-Fi password, laundry room, and breakfast times. When I casually asked about self-driving routes to Qinghai Lake and local food spots, she patiently outlined an itinerary, even recommending niche attractions and reminding me about precautions for high-altitude travel. When my room card stopped working, I contacted the front desk and Julie came to resolve the issue within minutes, without any pretense. Her service was professional yet down-to-earth throughout, without any rigid formalities; she genuinely thought about the guests. While good hardware is a hotel's foundation, warm service is what truly adds value. Thanks to Julie's thoughtful service, my travel fatigue disappeared. I'll definitely choose this hotel again on my next visit to Xining, and I highly recommend it to everyone!"
