2-Star Hotels in Xining

It was difficult to find the hotel in the first place when we stepped out of the taxi as we need to enter the building, go up to the 9th floor. Before, we asked surrounding locals ans they had no idea where was our hotel even :) The room were really spacious for 4 people. However, there were one queen bed for, and one big single bed which were not enough for 4 people to sleep in. Also, the room in reality didn't match at all the illustrated images. I suggest the hotel to be more honest with how their rooms look like so future guests wont be shocked as I was in the first place. Nevertheless, the hotel location was excellent. Next to the train station, to the market streets, surrounding mosques and Nanshan Park. We had a great time in Xining.

Starting with the positives. The construction and decor was great. Showering space was also nice and new. Staff were also helpful and nice. Amenities are ok. Everything you would expect for washing up. But no AC for many rooms without windows is a travesty. Only a electric fan that can only blow for 1 hour at a time. Easy to get asphyxiated at night. Horrible stench of body odor and cigarette smoke was present when I entered my room. Hygiene seemed alright until I showered. And with a small waft of the towels a terrible stench of cigarette odor pierced my nostrils.. Expecting guests to wipe off with this odorous smell is disappointing. Water also leaks from the shower compartment into the toilet floor.

The vibe here is great! The guys at the front desk are super friendly and helpful; they go out of their way to meet guests' requests. They also share lots of tips on food and travel, showing how much effort they put into running this hostel. I had a bit of altitude sickness when I first arrived in Xining, but propping up my pillow and leaving a small gap in the window and the bed curtain helped a lot. I'll definitely book here again next time I visit.

The staff were warm and polite, responding quickly and addressing our needs promptly with a gentle and patient attitude. The overall experience exceeded our expectations; the facilities were clean and comfortable, offering excellent value for money. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend it to everyone!

Xining is a fantastic, vibrant city, and my biggest regret is not staying longer; it deserves way more time than just a quick transit stop thanks to its incredible food scene, night markets, and laid-back vibe. During my visit, I stayed at LETE Hostel, which serves as a solid, character-rich base for exploring the region. The top-floor communal space has real history and soul, beautifully flooded with sunlight, packed with green plants, a massive library, and even three cute resident birds. The ladies at the front desk are incredibly kind-hearted and welcoming, always doing their best to help out. Location-wise, it’s perfect - super convenient for the night markets, local food stalls, and bus stops, plus they offer safe bike storage for cyclists. For the price of a private room, the value and hospitality here are unbeatable, and I would absolutely stay again - and next time, I’ll be giving Xining the full week it deserves.

The stay was fantastic! Upon entering the hotel, the spacious and bright lobby immediately impressed me; the lighting and exquisite decorations created a wonderful atmosphere. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, patiently answering all my questions, and the check-in process was efficient and quick – my impression was excellent!

The only one good thing staying here is the location. Be warned that the room is small and bath towels are not issued. It appeared that the management has a strut control on the issuing of amenities for the room. There's also no sign of the aircon controller in the room. Not recommended for long stays.

I booked a non-smoking room, but the room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. The smell in the bathroom was very strong and extremely irritating to my nose. The room was not clean. The floor was dirty, and I found 1-2 small cockroaches. The bathroom was poorly designed and not properly separated into sections. The bed was very hard, and I woke up with back pain in the morning. There is no elevator in the building-only stairs. I had to carry my large 29-inch suitcase down from the 4th floor to the 1st floor by myself, which was very inconvenient. I originally booked 5 nights, but I had to cancel the remaining 4 nights because I simply could not continue staying there Overall, a very disappointing experience 😌

The location is particularly good, right in front of the night market, and it is very convenient for eating, drinking and having fun. Hygiene: The room is very clean, I will come again next time. Service: The service is very enthusiastic and can meet any needs.

The hotel we checked into this time was quite unexpected. As soon as we walked to the door with our suitcases, a handsome staff member came to pick us up. I was stunned. It turned out that he was watching us take our suitcases to help us carry our luggage! 😄😄😄 Checking in at the front desk was very fast. It took only a minute or two to complete the check-in. The service attitude was also very good. The little brother kept smiling and helped us carry our luggage throughout the process. I was very touched. The room is also good. Disposable towels, toilet mats and mineral water are provided as gifts. For more than 100 yuan, so many cleaning supplies are given away. What a conscientious business! Room hygiene: Very clean, including bedding, sink, and bathroom. Although there is no elevator, it gave us a warmer feeling! Worthy of praise! ! ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍,
