Hotels in Ximen-Dashizi Commercial Area, Xining

The entrance was a bit difficult to find, and I asked a few people nearby to find it. The personal space in the room is not bad, but the toilet and washing area are not so good compared to the one. It is recommended to add WeChat to the hostel's host first.

I stayed at this hotel for three days in Xining. The rooms were spacious and bright, very clean, and the service was good. Parking was usually available, but sometimes it was a bit tight, so it's best to reserve a parking space in advance with the front desk. The hotel breakfast was plentiful and quite good. It's right across from Wanfang City, with a large supermarket downstairs, making it very convenient to buy all kinds of daily necessities. There are also many snack shops and yogurt shops nearby, which I won't go into detail about. Also, this hotel is located in the center of Xining. In case of altitude sickness, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai Province (I think) is just a ten-minute walk away. Don't ask me how I know 😂

The rooms are spacious and bright, with complete facilities, clean and tidy. The leather sofa is eye-catching! Kitchen stove, tableware complete; refrigerator, washing machine all available. Warm and thoughtful service. Bedding is awesome! Just like home. The location is excellent. There is a farmer's market downstairs to buy vegetables. There is also a night market. The snack street is very lively and full of fireworks. The fly in the ointment is that the parking space is too tight. This one is the right choice. Very good value for money! Come back and live here. recommend!

Xining Westin Hotel (commonly known as Westin) Overall Real Reviews With an average rating of 4.6/5 on the platform, it's a high-value local luxury hotel in the city center, not an international Marriott Westin. Its advantages and disadvantages are clearly distinguished: I. Core Positive Reviews (Frequently Praised by Guests) 1. Excellent Location, Top Choice for Shopping and Dining - 3-minute walk to Wangfujing and Central Square; Xinghai Road Food Street and Shuijing Lane snacks are just downstairs, offering hand-pulled noodles, liangpi (cold skin noodles), and yogurt right outside. - Airport bus stop nearby; 10-minute taxi ride to Xining Railway Station, convenient for self-driving, independent travel, and business trips. - Yellow River riverside promenade downstairs, pleasant for evening strolls. 2. Cleanliness and Facilities Adapted to High Altitude Conditions - Cleanliness rating 4.7; meticulous room cleaning, soft bedding, 24-hour hot water, and separate wet and dry bathroom. The entire room has underfloor heating, ensuring a comfortable stay in autumn and winter; it's equipped with a makeup mirror with a light, multiple charging outlets, disposable towels, toilet seat covers, and a feminine hygiene kit – thoughtful details. - Oxygen-equipped rooms are a major highlight: diffused oxygen generation, ideal for first-time visitors to Xining worried about altitude sickness; the front desk offers free oxygen and basic altitude sickness medication, and some rooms have humidifiers. 3. Warm and responsive service - 24-hour front desk, proactive assistance with luggage, recommendations for Qinghai Lake/Chaka routes, and free late check-out until 2 PM. - Some guests receive a complimentary evening sweet soup; any requests are addressed within minutes, and returning guests often receive free room upgrades. 4. Excellent value breakfast 7:30-9:30 buffet, including local specialties: freshly cooked beef noodles, Qinghai yogurt, hand-grabbed rice, milk tea, and a full range of Chinese, Western, and halal dishes; an extra breakfast is only 28 RMB per person, generous portions and authentic flavors. 5. **Price-Friendly** Regular room rates are 140-300 RMB, and even rooms with oxygen supply are reasonably priced. Compared to chain hotels in the same area, this one offers better space and amenities. **II. Negative Reviews (Please Note Before Checking In)** 1. Significant Room Variations: Room sizes vary considerably for the same price range, with some lower floors feeling cramped. A few rooms have a slight odor coming from the bathroom drain; closing the bathroom door helps, and the front desk provides air freshener, but this is only a temporary solution. 2. Parking Inconvenience: The underground parking garage lacks automatic access control; you have to call staff to open the gate each time you enter or exit, a common complaint from drivers. 3. Ventilation and Odor Issues: Some lower floors and hallways have a slight musty smell; opening windows provides only limited relief. 4. No Air Conditioning: Only underfloor heating; rooms tend to be stuffy in summer, requiring you to open windows to cool them down. 5. Only one set of disposable bath towels is provided; multiple guests need to request additional towels from the front desk. **III. Suitable & Unsuitable Groups** **Recommended Stay** - For tourists exploring Xining and those on the Qinghai loop (oxygen supply rooms are available for those experiencing altitude sickness) - For short-term business trips, family short trips, and self-driving travelers: - Budget around 200 (currency unspecified), looking for clean and comfortable accommodation in the city center with breakfast included. Not recommended: - Seeking international five-star standards, concerned about smells in old building hallways. - Long-term self-driving travelers, frequent garage access, and find parking procedures cumbersome. - Afraid of heat in summer and reliant on air conditioning. IV. Practical Suggestions for Check-in: 1. If worried about altitude sickness, book a room with diffused oxygen supply and inform the front desk in advance to prepare oxygen. 2. Request a higher floor during check-in to avoid the ground floor and reduce odors and noise. 3. If driving, allow extra time to call and open the door, as parking may be inconvenient if you return late. 4. Advance booking is recommended during peak seasons, as prices may increase slightly during holidays. Do you need a short, copyable positive/negative review?

”Qinghai Xing” youth hostel has the warmth, tranquility and human touch of home. This is what I felt when I stayed for two days! There are message walls on both sides of the corridors of the hotel. This is the hotel's biggest feature. On them are written the heartfelt words of young people from all over the country. Most of them are impassioned people. There are also words of love between me and me, heroes who are short of breath and children who are long in love. It makes people read it with a thousand emotions. Turn and feel the ups and downs of the story! There are also a variety of books that can be borrowed, and readers can take them at will and return them voluntarily. The bosses and his wife are definitely cultural people who hide in the city, and they are eminent monks who hide their secrets! In addition, there are two kinds of drinking water, mineral water and tap water, at the front desk in the corridor, which is very convenient. Even the boss’s son is very sensible! In the morning, I stood on the overpass, munching on pickled mustard and drinking boiling water to make eggs. I leisurely looked at the sparse flow of people outside the overpass and watched the morning sun rise little by little from the sea of ​​clouds. Hitting a passerby is like being outside the world! This hotel is very safe to stay in! Thanks to the boss and his family of three for providing a warm living environment to tired travelers in faraway Xining!

Facilities: The facilities are very complete and of very good quality. I don’t have very high requirements in this regard. Hygiene: This is what I value most. The room is very clean, the floor is reflective, and there is no dust at all, which is very nice. Service: The lady at the front desk is very pretty 😭, I can't help but praise her, and she is also very nice, and even upgraded the room for me. The hotel's own breakfast is also very delicious. Hotels with breakfast are really a great experience and the happiness level is very high. By the way, the yogurt and stuffed skin in Qinghai are really delicious 😂, and the cheapest ones are in Xining.

Haizhu Hotel is located in the old city, surrounded by many delicious food, and there is a Nanshan Road gas station more than 900 meters away. The interior of the hotel is well decorated, bathrooms are convenient, and parking is free.

This is honestly the best deal in town. I have been coming to Xining for 10 years, stayed in different hotels each time. This is for sure my favourite one and the best deal in this range of prices. First, the location. Right in the city centre, with a lot of taxis coming by (this can be an issue for hotels in other locations, where taxis are more rare). It is super convenient and one can reach any part of town efficiently and quickly. There are many buses that go from here to anywhere in town. Second, the quality of the room, of the bed (super super cosy and comfortable, which is really nice after travelling roughly for two weeks in the nearby countryside), the cleanliness of the room and bathroom. Very good hygiene products, not cheap toothpaste and soap like in other hotels. Third, and most importantly, the quality and warmth of the service. At the reception, the employees are very friendly and understanding, very warm-hearted, You feel really welcome in this hotel. They have helped me in several ways. especially Mrs Jane and Mrs Sunny Bai: fantastic people! They also speak English! Makes the whole stay memorable, enjoyable, relaxing. I will surely come back here next time. This is an upper-tier hotel made available with affordable prices. Thank you!
