2-Star Hotels in Xinjiang, China

The facilities are complete, the hair dryer is Suifen high-speed, the bath water pressure is very high, there is a washing machine, the smart toilet seat is warm and automatic lid, the disposable toilet pad, the bedding is very comfortable, there are two kinds of soft and hard pillows, and the details are full. Needless to say, the picture is clean and tidy. The key point is to praise the boss uncle, it can be said that he is responsive! I want to get up early to see the morning fog boss drive to Shenxian Bay for free. Welcome fruit said that I want to eat watermelon. The boss directly cut half of the watermelon to let us eat. Breakfast is very convenient across the road, simple and warm, and thoughtful service. In addition, the location of the homestay is very good, take Line 1 in the transfer center, or walk a few hundred meters. The homestay is next to the old bridge, away from the noise of the main street, and the rest is very good. After the tourist group disperses in the morning and evening, it is especially pleasant to take a walk along the trail by the river to take pictures. Very suitable place to stay for two days! The first boss and homestay that let us leave!

Charming little hotel in the heart of the Ancient City. Despite the age of the building the facilities are pretty modern and comprehensive. The owner Li Hua is ever so helpful and will do her utmost to make sure you have an enjoyable stress free stay!! Thank you for a pleasant stay and would definitely stay again next time I’m in this neck of the wood.

Staying at Gui Lai Inn felt just like coming home. Last night, when I first arrived, I couldn't find the parking lot. The landlady personally came to pick me up and helped me park the car. She then enthusiastically introduced the attractions of the ancient city and gave me details on the city gate opening ceremony for the next day, including the time and location. Today, I was running late to check out, and the landlady kindly extended my check-out time until 2 PM, which really made me feel like family. Friends visiting Kashgar, Gui Lai Inn is definitely your top choice!

Service: For check in on trip, it says to call a day in advance. I tried this, but the person who answered couldn't speak English. It was not a problem, because I then messaged on the online chat. That was perfectly fine and they responded very quickly. I'd say if you don't speak Chinese, just message online. The front desk staff were super helpful when I was there, and quick to use a translator so we could communicate well. Amenities: I did some washing, laundry detergent cost ¥10 I think, and again the staff were very helpful, finding as many hangers as I needed to dry my clothes. Location: The environment was so peaceful, the lobby was a nice air-conditioned place to hang out. The outside grass area was so lovely, with little lavender and rose plants and chairs to sit outside. There is also a bar across the courtyard, and a coffee shop. The area is a bit far out of the city, but it is right near the metro, lots of local shops, and a mall with some big chain stores. Things to consider: I stayed in the single room attached to the women's dorm. It was so handy to have my own space for a very reasonable price. However, the single room itself does not have its own air-conditioning. The women's dorm does, so to cool the room down, I would just keep the door between open for a bit. Still, it was never as cold as the dorm room because it went up to 40°c outside when I was there, and I preferred to keep the door locked when I went out to keep my belongings safe. The single room does have a fan and a window, so you can get some airflow through there. Overall, it was fine, just be aware if you are travelling during the summer. (Also one suggestion I would have is to put a mirror in the room, so you can get ready in there). The only other issue was no soap for washing hands in the dorm bathroom, although there was shampoo and conditioner provided in the shower. Cat: The cat was so cute! 🐈

First and foremost, this hotel accepts foreigners. The hotel is quite ok but not great. I booked a no-window non-smoking room (don’t do it, go for room with window) because I thought there is more chance people still smoke in non-smoking rooms with windows. The first room they gave me, put the key card on and electricity didn’t work. Waited for them to check with no result so I was relocated to another room. It’s non-smoking but I can clearly smell the smoke. Took 2 days for the smoke smell to go away which is a pity. The room is small but enough for a solo like me. Each floor they built 4 lines of rooms, the 2 middle lines stay wall-to-wall to each other and are the ‘no-window’ rooms. I would definitely recommend you to choose the room with window, because it means you don’t share a lot of ‘walls’ to other room and have a window to open at least for circulation if room is smelly or if room is too hot. In my case, my room smells smoke, and the room heater system only allows 34-37 degree celsius which is crazy! Very hot if turned on so I had to turn it off the whole time I stay at the hotel. Even though it is winter time, the whole hotel is already on heater. Unable to adjust room temperature is annoying because it means no air circulation. There is a blowing machine (similar to a fan) in the room but it is not efficient quickly enough. The room feels extremely suffocating. I did really wish for a window. Also because the no-window rooms share 3 walls with other rooms (not counting the upper floor), it’s more bad-luck chances for weird noise. In my case, I had to endure one whole freaking night with 2 loud Uyghur couples who cannot hold themselves back from banging the freak out and making all kinds of terrible terrible noise. Seems like no soundproof for these walls.

The bedding was very comfortable, providing a koala-like sleep as advertised by the hotel. The soundproofing of the cabins was average, but understandable, and the hotel is very quiet unless you're extremely noisy. Upon checking in, parking at the scenic area entrance parking lot was handled by a very helpful young lady. We arrived during a day with severe convective weather, but the rain stopped in the afternoon, revealing incredibly beautiful clouds and mist. At night, this guesthouse felt the brightest in the area, brightly lit. We even had spotlights to help us stargaze in the middle of the night. There were also washing machines in the rooms, which was very convenient. The only drawback of the hotel was the small capacity of the water heater. Showers had to be quick, and after one shower, you had to wait a while for the water to reheat. Also, the water seemed a bit dark.

The Altay Shanyun Hotel was a hidden gem on our Northern Xinjiang trip! Many hotels in the area make it difficult to get a taxi, but this one offers a free shuttle to General Mountain, making travel hassle-free. The rooms are clean and spacious, and despite the large temperature difference between day and night, we stayed comfortably with a continuous supply of hot water for showering. The front desk staff were attentive and patiently answered all our questions. The hotel has plenty of parking, so no worries about finding a spot if you're driving. It's away from the noise, providing a quiet environment perfect for relaxation, whether you're skiing or just exploring Altay. It effectively solves various travel and parking problems, with practical and straightforward service. This hotel is definitely worth staying at when visiting Altay.

Good reviews! The location of the hotel is amazing. You can see the magnificent Pamir Plateau scenery of Tashkurgan County as soon as you go out. In the morning, when you open the window, the sun shines on the top of the continuous snow-capped mountains. The picture is so beautiful that it is suffocating. Here, you can enjoy the unique natural scenery of Tashkurgan County while lying in bed. This experience is great!

Stayed in a dorm room then moved to a private once one became available. Both rooms were clean and comfortable, I especially liked the softness of the beds and the strength of the AC, as it was summer when we stayed. The hosts were always very helpful and their cat is adorable. The public spaces were also cozy and had amazing views of the city below. It was easy to bring our bicycles up the elevator and store them in the hostel.

A friend recommended this place, and the room was just as clean and cozy as in the pictures. This was the best trip I've taken on business. The boss was very nice and generous. He even helped me send something by courier if I forgot to take it. The location and environment are great, it's worth going again!
