Hostels in Xinjiang, China

First off, the location is fantastic. I didn't even need a taxi from the train station; I just wheeled my suitcase right over. Secondly, the entire building is a hostel, and it's the largest one I've ever stayed in. The first floor has amenities like billiards and mahjong, which is great for guests to relax and socialize. The attention to detail is also excellent, especially in areas like the showers. Plus, the room I booked came with a balcony, which was wonderful for doing laundry and letting it dry. And the beds are super wide and comfy!

It's 2 AM, and I can't sleep after writing this review in the courtyard, so I just got up and sat here. The night in Liuxing Street is so quiet, with only occasional dog barks and distant lights. The moon hangs above the apple tree. I've stayed at this hostel for three days and will be leaving tomorrow. There are some things I want to write down before I forget. First, let's talk about hygiene. I have a peculiar habit: the first thing I do when entering a room is to feel the tabletop and windowsill. And truly, it was spotless. The floor is wood-grain tile, and walking barefoot on it felt perfectly clean. The bedding was freshly changed and smelled warm, like it had been sun-dried. There wasn't a single hair on the public restroom floor, and the trash cans weren't emptied only when overflowing. What touched me most was that the cups in the wash area were placed upside down in a sterilizer cabinet, for guests to use. Yes, a sterilizer cabinet. Location: It's in an alley in Liuxing Street, but very easy to find. Turn right out of the door, and a small alley leads directly to the main street. To the left is an old residential area, perfect for aimless wandering. It's about seven or eight minutes' walk to the Alexander Accordion Museum and also to the famous ice cream shop. If you, like me, enjoy walking and exploring small alleys, this place is a paradise. There are three bus stops nearby, making it convenient to go to Kaxgar and Hanren Street. Service: The front desk staff was a girl with a ponytail, and her voice was soft. It was drizzling when I arrived on the first day, and she handed me a dry towel to wipe my hair. When I came back late at night, I found a message on the small blackboard at the entrance: 'There's yogurt in the fridge, help yourself.' I thought it was for a fee, but when I asked the next day, she smiled and said, 'It's free, we worry you might get overheated in this weather.' When I left, I forgot my power bank, and she chased me down two alleys. Facilities: The beds are incredibly stable; the bunk beds don't wobble. Each bunk has a curtain, a light, two power outlets, and a small shelf, perfect for a phone and glasses. The common area has a water dispenser (with both hot and cold water), a microwave, a refrigerator, and a toaster. There's also a washing machine that can be used by scanning a QR code. The most pleasant surprise was a small bookshelf with not many books, but a few picture books about Ali, which made me want to visit Mount Kailash as I flipped through them. Atmosphere: Unlike some hostels that deliberately force social interaction, the atmosphere here is very natural. In the evening, someone played the Dombra in the courtyard, while others just listened quietly. There was an older gentleman who had just returned from a pilgrimage, his feet still swollen, sitting on the steps drinking sweet tea, and no one disturbed him. Occasionally, people would strike up a conversation, also in soft voices. I'm sitting in the courtyard now, and the evening breeze is a little cool. The moon is bright, and I can see the shadows of the clouds. I'll probably feel a bit reluctant to leave tomorrow. But it's okay; I know I'll be back. The night of Liuxing Street, the dream of Mount Kailash, and the gentleness of this little courtyard all remind me why I'm always on the road.

This is a chain youth hostel in Xinjiang, and its location is great, right in a popular area, making it convenient to get anywhere. The room has its own private bathroom and a thick mattress, which I found a bit on the soft side, but still okay. There's no small table, which I suggest they improve, as it would be really convenient. The spotlights could be replaced with strip lighting for a more comfortable feel. There's a kitchen, laundry facilities, and plenty of common areas with ample space. Overall, it's pretty good, and I'd like to encourage them.

This hotel truly exceeded my expectations and deserves a huge thumbs up! From the moment I entered, I felt their sincerity. The receptionist was incredibly friendly, check-in was super fast, and she proactively introduced the hotel's facilities and nearby amenities, making me feel instantly warm and welcome. The room was an even bigger surprise. As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by a light, pleasant fragrance, completely free of any unpleasant odors. The sheets and duvet covers were spotless, feeling incredibly comfortable to the touch. The pillows were the perfect firmness; I didn't want to get out of bed after one night's sleep. The bathroom was spotless, hot water came out instantly, and the water pressure was just right. The toiletries were all brand-name products, giving me peace of mind. The facilities were also impeccable; the air conditioning worked perfectly for both cooling and heating.

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!

This trip with Tiancheng International Travel Agency had exceptionally thoughtful accommodation arrangements. The selected hotel was in a prime location, making dining and shopping incredibly convenient, saving a lot of time and effort during our outings. The room was clean and tidy, the bed soft and comfortable, and the hot water in the bathroom was consistently stable. The room was quiet with good soundproofing, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep every evening. Throughout the trip, there were no last-minute hotel changes or room downgrades, and the staff attentively catered to our accommodation needs. The overall stay far exceeded our expectations, providing a comfortable and reassuring experience. The entire trip offered excellent value for money and is highly recommended.

The location is fantastic, right in the Six-Star Street scenic area, specifically Lane 1, Liguang Street. It's also incredibly convenient for both the intercity bus station and the airport, making it perfect for exploring and dining out. As someone who's stayed in many hostels over the years, I'd confidently say this is the best-located hostel in Yining. The common areas are excellent, boasting a surprisingly good selection of books, and the cafe's projector is remarkably clear. It's very clean, most rooms are four-bed dorms, and having stayed for several consecutive days, I can confirm it was an excellent experience!

The hostel stuff is very kind and helpful. They would make sure that you have a pleasant stay. It is clean and tidy at all times. Location is only 10-15 minutes walking distance from places like Kucha temple and the kucha mansion. Only 1 hour driving distance from the Tianshan Grand Canyon which must be visited. Kizilya is also very close ny which both can be done in a day trip. Kucha is an essential part of Silk Road. The museum is also a must to visit. This is a good place to stay.

Service: It was about noon when we arrived and the temperature in Kuqa was about 30 degrees. As soon as we went through the formalities at the store, the front desk asked if we wanted to eat melon. The employees were very enthusiastic and organized games to relax, which made me feel relaxed. Environment: The environment is also very unexpected. It is clean and tidy and matches the blue sky of Kuqa. The air conditioner in the room was fully on, it was very cool, and the mattress was very comfortable. I also met travelers with the same ambitions in the store. It is true as the lady said, this is not only a place to stay but also a place to meet beautiful people and things. Just one word, absolutely!

I was traveling alone and met some absolutely wonderful ladies here. They were all so kind and helped me out with so many things. When I was unsure what to do, they even took me out to try delicious food and cook together. In the evenings, we'd have a drink and chat. I really love it here. Although I'm a bit sad I didn't get to visit the Pamir Plateau, the experiences I gained here far outweigh that regret. Thank you for meeting all you wonderful ladies! This room is also very cozy, and the bathroom is great too.
