Yinkentala Desert Space Capsule Smart Hotel is located in the original desert area of Yinkentala Desert Scenic Spot in DalateQi, Ordos City. With pure and primitive natural scenery, this smart hotel has 80-double-room space capsules, all of which are equipped with comfortable bathroom facilities and intelligent voice-activated system, which can control the lights, air conditioners, curtains and projections from any area of the room. By lying in the bed, you can enjoy the beautiful desert scenery through floor-to-ceiling windows. Meanwhile, just with one step out from the door, you can totally be in the original desert. In added, there are also wonderful activities waiting for you, such as bonfire parties, fireworks and star watching at night.
"The accommodation was absolutely amazing! Let's start with the entrance. There's a staff member waiting for guests at the park entrance. Since we were driving, we just signed a form and could freely enter and exit the park, which was great – no need to take the cable car or shuttle bus (I don't like taking them because the queues are long during peak hours). The package included two adult unlimited Kentara passes, but this ”unlimited” system is subject to interpretation by the park, so… it's a rip-off… I tested the desert motorcycles and the rainbow surfing bikes; you have to stay inside the designated area to get back in. The Wilderness Cannon, sandboarding, and adventure vehicles can be ridden as many times as you want, whenever you want. I didn't ask about the camels, but I rode them twice, which was enough. The zipline was closed due to strong winds… Everything else was a paid attraction. They also gave us 400 VND meal vouchers for lunch and dinner, which was about right for a normal meal. Breakfast was free but average. Back to the accommodation… The parking lot is right next to the capsule hotel. The capsule's exterior is so futuristic and beautiful, especially at night when it's lit up! The rooms have fully automatic curtains and blackout curtains. There's a fresh air system, and two separate air conditioners in each room. The cleanliness of the accommodation was very good. There's a bonfire party in the evening, with two fireworks displays. There's a small shop and a coffee shop nearby. Important note: the hotel offers free sandboards for a deposit only! 😃😃 The shop requires a rental fee and deposit. Almost a perfect desert trip! Oh, and there's a large cairn called Yinkentala Ovoo in the opposite direction; it's a short drive away, but there are too many steps to climb it."
