Hotels With Spa in Ningxia, China

"Great views! Being located in the desert, sand and dust are definitely unavoidable—whenever you open the doors or windows, a layer of dust settles inside, but this is totally acceptable. The hotel offers plenty of activities; we could enjoy one dune bashing session per day of our stay, as well as stargazing at night (though this might vary slightly depending on the package). The dune bashing experience was fantastic, and going at sunset makes it even more breathtaking. The stargazing guide was very responsible and gave a wonderful presentation. However, there were way too many children, and some were too young to sit still, running around and making noise. It was quite dangerous since it was pitch dark, and it also disrupted the stargazing experience for others. The staff member who showed us to our room upon check-in needs better training. He mentioned that the minibar was only free for the first round and subsequent restocking would be charged, pointing to a price list in the room ranging roughly from 18 to 38. But in reality, all drinks in the minibar are complimentary and can be restocked, and the fruit is also replenished daily—all for free. The butler really should clarify this to guests via the messaging group. The butlers in the chat group were fantastic and extremely responsive, with messages answered almost instantly. The staff member who came to light our campfire every evening was also wonderful. There are lots of desert plants around the hotel; it would be a nice touch to add small labels introducing what each plant is. Pick-up from the high-speed rail station and drop-off in the downtown area are both free of charge. The food at the restaurant is just average, though quite decent considering its location in the middle of the desert. Apart from the rather high prices, everything else was acceptable."

"This time I stayed at the Orange Hotel and the overall feeling was very good. The hotel has a unique exterior design and a simple interior decoration style without losing taste. The lobby is spacious and bright, and the service staff wear a uniform uniform and smile on their faces, and received us very warmly. The rooms are fully equipped, the bedding is soft and comfortable, and the bathroom is particularly clean. The hotel also provides leisure facilities such as gym and swimming pool, which is very suitable for the whole family. In terms of dining, the hotel restaurant has a rich variety of dishes and tastes quite good. Overall, this hotel is very cost-effective, and I will definitely choose this one next time!"
