Xining Changjiang International Hotel
9.3 (4,362 reviews)

Xining Changjiang International Hotel ★★★★

📍 No. 43 Changjiang Road, Chengzhong District, Xining

"Location: This is a major plus. There's a bus stop right outside the hotel called 'Sanjiao Huayuan West' (Triangle Garden West), which has a direct route (Bus 909) to Ta'er Monastery. I've even shared a detailed guide on a certain social media platform. If you walk uphill and slightly to the left from the hotel, you'll reach Beidajie (North Street). Turning right and walking forward from Beidajie leads you to Nandajie (South Street), Mojia Street, and attractions like Jinta Temple, Hongjiao Temple, and the Confucius Temple. All these are within a comfortable 1-2 km walking distance, which is excellent. Service: The front desk staff were competent and professional. They provided all the necessary information and reminders. While they weren't overly enthusiastic, I felt their service was very thorough and attentive. They reminded me of everything I needed to know and were responsive to requests. Facilities: I booked a business twin room on the 25th floor with outdoor views. The window could be opened. Since it faced east, the room was a bit warm when I first entered, but once the air conditioning was on, the overall temperature became comfortable. I turned off the AC at night because it got a bit chilly. The housekeeping staff were very efficient and kept the room spotless. Free bottled water was replenished daily, except for one large bottle explicitly marked in the room as costing 5 RMB – that's something to note. Afternoon Tea: I tried the afternoon tea. There was nothing particularly special about it – a pot of tea, some popcorn, four small pastries, and a small bowl of fruit. So, if you're tired and don't feel like going out, and it's offered complimentary between 2 PM and 5 PM, it's worth trying. I wouldn't recommend purchasing it separately as it's not particularly good value. Additionally, I didn't book breakfast because I wanted to sleep in. For breakfast, if you walk out of the hotel, turn right, then uphill to the first intersection and turn right again, opposite the primary school, there's a place called 'He Yonglong Da Gu Tang' (He Yonglong Big Bone Soup). I found it to be very affordable. You pay for the bone broth, and the flatbreads, sweet garlic, and dried radishes are all free. Two of us had a large bowl, and it was incredibly good value. Overall, highly recommended."

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

"The hotel's location is excellent, right in the city center with plenty of large shopping malls and great restaurants nearby. The room was decent, a bit dated, but clean. The hotel service was also good; they even gave us a thoughtful souvenir when we checked out. Xining was much nicer than I expected, very neat and clean – I really enjoyed it!"

Hampton by Hilton Xining Ralway Station ★★★★

📍 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) ★★★

📍 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."

📍 No. 37 Yinma Street, Chengzhong District, Xining

Boli Yabu Hotel
9.4 (8,262 reviews)

Boli Yabu Hotel ★★★★★

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

"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."

"The room was spacious and the facilities were great, meeting five-star standards. However, the breakfast service needs improvement! I was afraid to leave my table during breakfast because they'd clear my dishes as soon as I did. My table was cleared twice during one meal – are they blind or something?"

The room was spotlessly clean, with details handled well, and there was no dust even in the corners. The hotel's gym equipment is very new, which meets my daily exercise needs. The swimming pool is clear and it is very pleasant to swim in it. Miss Zhang at the front desk is very considerate and sent welcome fruit. Whether it is delivering items or answering questions, she is very efficient. It is a great stay experience!"

"The room facilities were very new, and the room itself was spacious with a good breakfast. The only minor drawback was that there was no air conditioning in the room, but the front desk attendant provided a fan, which made it tolerable."

ELEGANT GARDEN HOTEL Hotels in Xining

ELEGANT GARDEN HOTEL

"It's a new hotel, and the service is a bit immature. Why do I say that? Because they don't have rooms and don't know how to adapt. If the customer booked a luxury room, they would say they would give the customer a high-end room, but usually they would upgrade the room directly. This is the first time I've encountered a downgrade. Waiters should not make loud noises while cleaning, do not make loud noises, do not make loud noises! There are many services, but they are not clearly informed to customers. Do not park your car in front of the hotel entrance, even if it is the provincial party secretary's car, do not block the door."

"The hygiene was terrible. The cups were dirty, and the room was too small. The window opened up right next to the building opposite, so it might as well not have had a window at all. I definitely won't be staying here a second time."

Hampton by Hilton Xining Ralway Station ★★★★
"Overall, it was very good. The room was bright, well-equipped, clean, and soundproof. The pillows and mattress were quite comfortable, and the service was good. Breakfast was worth the money. The only issue was with the room lights; for some reason, they stayed on all night the first night, making the room uncomfortably bright. On the second night, they were motion-sensored, so they turned completely dark when I wasn't near them, which allowed for a good rest. I guess I just didn't know how to use them properly."

Xining Bochen Hotel (Chengbei District Wanda Plaza) ★★★
"First, the location is very remote. The reception is on the seventh floor, and you have to go around to the back entrance to take the elevator. There's no sign, making it hard to find. The surrounding area is under construction, which is inconvenient. Second, the room was relatively clean, but there was some dust on the bed and pillows, which seemed to have settled there after the room had been empty for a few days. We checked in around 10 PM, and my husband took a shower. The water was still cold even after running for over 20 minutes. Finally, we remembered to ask the front desk, and they told us that the water heater was malfunctioning and it would probably take about an hour for hot water to come out. My husband took a cold shower, and ended up getting wet while waiting for hot water. He caught a cold the next morning. It was so frustrating; catching a cold while traveling is terrible. It was a very bad experience."
