This was the last and most satisfying hotel I stayed in during my 25-day journey. Its location is fantastic: directly opposite Xining Bus Station, with the train station just across a small road to its left, and the long-distance coach terminal a little further.
When I arrived, laden with bags, and asked the front desk to store my luggage first, the two young ladies at reception carefully organized and put them away for us. After checking in, they were incredibly helpful, answering all our questions politely and speaking in gentle tones. The two gentlemen we encountered during the day were equally courteous.
The room facilities were on par with or exceeded a 3-star standard, featuring a wet/dry separated bathroom and excellent shower pressure. Despite its proximity to the train station, bus stop, and long-distance coach terminal, our nights were surprisingly quiet, and it wasn't noisy during the day either. A minor flaw is that the rooms aren't particularly soundproof from each other; I suspect this is due to unsealed pipes inside the wardrobe near the window.
The breakfast selection and taste were both good, and the restaurant itself was clean and tidy.
