Xining Changjiang International Hotel
9.3 (4,363 reviews)

Xining Changjiang International Hotel ★★★★

📍 No. 43 Changjiang Road, Chengzhong District, Xining

"The hotel room is quite spacious. There are restaurants in the same building, and the food quality is excellent. The hygiene is also very good. Being on a higher floor, the room offers a fantastic view and beautiful scenery."

Qinghai Chenxin Hotel (Xining Railway Station)
9.4 (1,103 reviews)

Qinghai Chenxin Hotel (Xining Railway Station) ★★★

📍 Building B4, Plot 2, Railway Station Commercial and Office Resettlement Area, Chengdong District, Xining

"My stay was terrible, I don't understand how this place has such high ratings. First, the cleanliness was unacceptable. The sheets had faint red stains and a tear. The toilet seat had yellow stains, and I had to disinfect it with hot water in the middle of the night. The drawers were filthy and still had items left by previous guests. Basic cleaning wasn't even done. More importantly, I woke up with a burning throat, and when I asked the cleaning lady, she said it might be formaldehyde! The service was also mediocre, and overall, the value for money is extremely low. I don't recommend this place to travelers; book with caution!"

Sofitel Xining
9.3 (3,651 reviews)

Sofitel Xining ★★★★★

📍 No. 63 Wusi West Road, Chengxi District, Xining

"French design style. Ambiance: First-class, arguably the best hotel in Xining. Service: The service truly enhances the guest experience; they are very friendly and approachable. Breakfast: The breakfast is incredibly diverse and has everything you could possibly want."

Xining High Speed Railway Station Hampton by Hilton Hotel
9.6 (588 reviews)

Xining High Speed Railway Station Hampton by Hilton Hotel ★★★★

📍 No. 9 Danxia Road, Chengdong District, Xining

"After returning from Golmud, I chose this hotel again. It was both my starting and ending point. After getting familiar with the surroundings, I realized the hotel's location is excellent. It's incredibly convenient for dining, shopping, and transportation, with places like Nanguan Street, Xinqian Night Market, and RT-Mart supermarket all nearby. The alley itself is quiet, but both ends are lively. The laundry room and gym are well-equipped, and both the front desk and housekeeping staff are very friendly. I highly recommend staying here."

Xining Bochen Hotel (Chengbei District Wanda Plaza)
9.3 (688 reviews)

Xining Bochen Hotel (Chengbei District Wanda Plaza) ★★★

📍 7th Floor, Tower A, Beichuan Wanda, Chengbei District, Xining

"The hotel is located right next to Wanda Plaza, which is very convenient. Parking is also quite easy; if you want to save on parking fees, you can park on the street. Out-of-town tourists won't get a ticket. The room facilities are relatively new, and the mattresses are comfortable."

Holiday Inn Express XINING RAILWAY STATION by IHG
9.3 (3,166 reviews)

Holiday Inn Express XINING RAILWAY STATION by IHG ★★★★

📍 No. 145 Huzhu West Road, Chengdong District, Chengdong District, Xining

"After our trip to Qinghai, we returned to the Holiday Inn Express, and it felt like coming back to civilization. The front desk staff were professional and friendly. There's underground parking, and the room was clean and spacious. For dinner, we had 'Kaiguo Lamb' at the hotel restaurant – selected short ribs simmered in broth for 15 minutes, then dipped in sauce, which was absolutely delicious! We finished with some vegetables cooked in the same pot. The breakfast spread, a mix of Western and Chinese, was also very rich. Compared to other Holiday Inn Express hotels in mainland China, this one offered local specialties like yogurt and noodles. If I ever come back to Xining, I'll definitely choose to stay here again."

Xining Sanyu Hotel
9.3 (5,499 reviews)

Xining Sanyu Hotel ★★★★★

📍 No. 45 Changjiang Road, Chengzhong District, Xining

"Quite a peculiar experience. On the first day, we were told there were gas repairs and hot water would only be available from 6 PM. However, by midnight, there was still no hot water. After a tiring day of travel, all we wanted was a hot shower, but it was impossible. To top it off, the pipe under the sink in our room was leaking. We had to switch rooms. We were too tired to bother moving again, so we just made do. Overall, it's pretty average, and the breakfast selection was a bit limited. I hope things improve in the future."

Boli Yabu Hotel
9.4 (8,276 reviews)

Boli Yabu Hotel ★★★★★

📍 No. 11901, 19A Floor, Building 5, No. 130 Xiguan Street, Chengxi District, Xining

"The hotel is located in a great shopping district, making its location excellent. The breakfast is a rich mix of Chinese and Western options, and we even received complimentary welcome fruit upon arrival. The facilities are comprehensive, with a free gym and laundry room. Overall, our stay was fantastic!"

Plateau Impression Fashion Hotel (mojiajie Daxin Street Night Market)
8.7 (1,028 reviews)

Plateau Impression Fashion Hotel (mojiajie Daxin Street Night Market) ★★

📍 No.4 Nanxiao Street, Chengdong District, Xining

"I stayed in a private bed room this time, not a dormitory. The room was very clean, with no strange smells, and the bathroom and shower were also spotless, with no mold issues. I was on the third floor. It's worth noting that smoking is allowed in this building. Someone was smoking in the lobby on the first floor, and the smoke would drift up the hallway. Even with the window open and the exhaust fan on, the smell of smoke from the hallway and neighboring rooms would sometimes seep into my room through the gap under the door. The soundproofing of the room was also just average, which was a bit of a shame. Closing the window and turning off the exhaust fan significantly reduced the smoke smell. I later bought masking tape from a nearby stationery shop and sealed the gaps around my door every night, which worked very well. It seems that Gansu and Qinghai are generally more tolerant of smoking compared to other places. Overall, though, the room was very clean and odorless, and I slept well at night. It was a good stay overall."

The guest rooms are fully equipped with all the necessary amenities and toiletries. The entire room was spotlessly clean and gleaming, with great attention to detail. The staff were warm, attentive, efficient, and thoughtful. Our room was on a higher floor, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offered expansive views, perfect for enjoying the stunning city nightscape.

The hotel is very close to Xining Station, within walking distance, which is super convenient for catching high-speed trains. The front desk staff were very dedicated and proactive in helping with any issues. The hotel breakfast was plentiful, and the restaurant was spacious. They also have an underground parking garage, which is great for those traveling by car. The rooms were clean and tidy, and the bedding was very comfortable. The hotel's surroundings have a well-developed commercial area, making shopping and strolling very convenient. It's close to Xining's shopping streets and night markets. Highly recommended!"

"Having stayed in so many hotels, this one really stands out! The environment is quiet and peaceful, like a paradise in a bustling city.

The front desk lady checked in quickly, especially Miss Zhang who patiently guided the whole process, and also sent welcome fruits and yogurt.

"This hotel doesn't have a wardrobe, only a clothes rack. Parking is extremely tight, and after finding a spot, you have to drag your luggage quite a distance. Those who mind should choose carefully! Facilities: Acceptable Hygiene: Acceptable Service: Acceptable Environment: Acceptable"

Qinghai Hotel Hotels in Xining

Qinghai Hotel

"One of the best hotels I have been to in China. And that is saying something, with that high a competition in China. It is located in a very convenient point of the city, which is within 1-2 km to the food and shopping districts of the Xining Center. We got the superior queen room, which is the standard, and it comes at a very cheap price. Beautiful, old-fashioned room, large, with a desk and a comfy bed. Bathroom was nice, with both shower and a bathtub. We didn’t use the amenities in our short stay, but at that price it was worth it even without using them. Overall a very good experience, I would definitely recommend it"

Ji Hotel (Xining Railway Station) Hotels in Xining

Ji Hotel (Xining Railway Station)

"Our final stop on the Qinghai-Gansu grand loop family road trip this summer was the JI Hotel Xining Railway Station. We booked a family room, which was impeccably clean, spacious, and bright. It featured a large 1.8m bed and a 1.2m bed; both were exceptionally comfortable, and the room had a cozy, inviting decor. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows offered fantastic, expansive views. Its proximity to Xining Caojiapu International Airport (about a 30-minute drive) was very convenient. This was hands down the best hotel of our entire journey. While located in Xining New Area, meaning there aren't many great dining options right downstairs, they offer a robot delivery service that brings takeout food directly to your room. The family room also came with a table in the seating area, which we found very practical."

Campanile Hotel Xining Railway Station Hotels in Xining

Campanile Hotel Xining Railway Station

"1. It's very close to the train station, and there are hotels all around, but being close to the station has a downside: it can be a bit noisy at night; you can hear the trains. 2. The service was good; they upgraded our room and gave us an extra breakfast voucher. However, the breakfast was very mediocre, and the extra bed was a metal-frame bed that easily shifted. Overall, it's decent and could be a good choice for a layover."

Heyi Hotel (Xining Daxin Street Night Market Central Square Branch)

"How can it be so hot in the room? Every room has a fan, but the blades were covered in dust. Even though it felt dirty, the room temperature was so high that we'd rather put up with the dusty fan just to get some air. The shower water, even at its hottest setting, was colder than body temperature, I have no idea why. Maybe they thought the room was too hot and people needed a cold shower to cool down? The ladies at the front desk had great service, but everything else was just so-so. Definitely a "wouldn't stay again" kind of place."

Chilin Internationai Hotel Hotels in Xining

Chilin Internationai Hotel

"The hotel's facilities are relatively new, but the leather upholstery on the headboard has a strong odor, as does the lingering smell of the decor. The internet TV doesn't play live TV and is essentially just for show; it's rather useless. The amenities are relatively new, and the towels are clean. The room is quite cold and there's no air conditioning control. The breakfast is on the colder side but has a fairly good selection. Parking is convenient and free."

ELEGANT GARDEN HOTEL Hotels in Xining

ELEGANT GARDEN HOTEL

"The stay experience exceeded expectations! The hotel has a modern design, spacious and bright rooms, and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a panoramic view of the city. The bedding is soft and comfortable, the bathroom has perfect details of dry and wet separation, and the toiletries are high-end and exquisite. All the fatigue along the way is swept away! The front desk was warm and thoughtful, and gave us an upgraded room. The breakfast was rich, and the local yogurt and mutton soup noodles were must-try. The combination of Chinese and Western food satisfied the taste buds. The location is convenient, it only takes 20 minutes to drive to Ta'er Monastery, and there is convenient parking nearby. The details are carefully considered and it is highly recommended to travelers who pursue quality!"

Heart Anchor Hotel (Xining Caojiabao International Airport) Hotels in Xining

Heart Anchor Hotel (Xining Caojiabao International Airport)

"This hotel is near airport and they provide free ride to airport. One draw back is that restaurants/shops near that area are closed after 6 or 7pm."

Xining High Speed Railway Station Hampton by Hilton Hotel ★★★★
"The facilities are decent, but the service is unprofessional. 1. I booked two suites through the platform, but upon entering, I found one had been changed into a family room. Clearly, the wrong room card was issued. When I called the front desk, they actually claimed it was a free upgrade for us... We are two people who booked two suites, so what kind of logic leads to upgrading us to a family room? Moreover, on the platform, family rooms are cheaper than suites, so it's a 'downgrade disguised as an upgrade'? After I questioned the price, the front desk changed their story, saying that the family room and the suite had identical room sizes and bed sizes. If they're identical, then what kind of upgrade is that? It's completely contradictory. The final solution was to have a staff member come and convert the sofa bed back and replace the cartoon bedding. 2. I needed an invoice for a business trip, so I added the front desk on WeChat. The next morning, starting at 6 AM, they bombarded me with WeChat messages, waking me up. The facilities are indeed quite new, and the bedding is comfortable, but I hope they can improve their staff training."

"This stay was absolutely perfect! The hotel boasts a superb location, right next to the subway station and shopping district, making it incredibly convenient for getting around and shopping. The lobby was elegant and welcoming, and the front desk staff were efficient and friendly. The rooms were spacious and bright, with soft and comfortable bedding, and the bathroom was spotless with a separate shower and toilet. The staff were attentive and friendly, from the concierge to the housekeeping staff, all wearing smiles and making us feel right at home. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious, a wonderful blend of Chinese and Western flavors. Whether for business or leisure travel, this is an ideal choice, highly recommended!"

Boli Yabu Hotel ★★★★★
"The hotel's location and environment are good, and the window view is also nice. However, there was some renovation work going on downstairs, which slightly marred the view. On our first day, a manager at the front desk was very helpful and upgraded our room. But here's the catch: when we checked out, one staff member kept following us around as if we were trying to steal something. I was even questioned about two dental floss picks I had taken. Also, some staff members seemed to think their hotel was very high-end and weren't very friendly towards guests; their attitude even came across as a bit arrogant. This is something that definitely needs improvement."
