Cari Hotel 2-Star di Xining

Stayed at this hotel in Xining before our train to Tibet — and honestly, such a good find for the price. 🙌 The location was perfect for transit: • around 7 minutes from Xining Railway Station • about 3 minutes from the main bus station The hotel itself felt very new, modern, and exceptionally clean. The staff were incredibly kind and supportive, which we really appreciated after long travel days. 🫶 There’s free drinking water, plus washing machines and dryers available — a huge bonus if you’re traveling around China for longer. One of the best things: we were able to extend our stay for 8 extra hours for only 90 yuan because our train to Lhasa was in the evening. It made the whole journey so much more comfortable instead of waiting around at the station all day. Would definitely stay here again. ✨

The hotel is fine. I had one of the tiny rooms (which the site did warn me about). The room could fit a bed and a bathroom (with shower over toilet). The bedding was decent and the shower worked well enough. They provided some real towels though a bathmat for outside the room would be great so you don't track water everywhere after the shower. The drain was initially blocked by they fixed it. Has a kettle. The location is ok (you could walk just over 1km to the zoo). Not too many restaurants nearby. The window opened to a block of flats. Calling that a ”city view” is a bit cheeky. The room is also quite hot in summer, and the bed is like sleeping ok a table, though again this seems standard in Qinghai.

Great experience! The two ladies of the staff have been extremely nice. They helped us in every way they could. The hostel has amazing shared spaces, plenty of sunlight and plants (+ three cute birds!). The room has what you need, simple and neat. We liked our stay very much :)

You get what you pay for. Not the worst place I've stayed, but it's in need of a little renovation. The room was okay, but the women's toilets in particular weren't fully functioning, and the bathroom was quite humid with caked-on dirt. That said, all the rooms were cleaned every day and the cleaning staff do their best. It's secure for solo female travellers and a nice base for easy day trips around the spectacular area. If you decide to come here, check out the bakery nearby! 🌟

區位：酒店位置比較好找，樓下有免費的停車，很方便。 設施：房間設施和衞生中等。 服務：服務還是比較熱情，電視不會調，服務員很快就給弄好了。 其他：就是第一天樓上居然是廚房，旅行團很早要吃飯，五點多就給吵醒了。跟服務員反應第二天換了一間好多了，感謝。

Great value and quiet stay The location is convenient - just a 25-minute walk from the station. The price is the best in town. I stayed in a dormitory, but no one else was placed in my room. The bed was comfortable. Just remember to call, because there’s no one at the reception.

This hotel received international travellers. Best is its next to famous street food… i do really enjoy the stay here. And its clean too. Just i don’t really like the smoke smell in the elevator.. the rest is fine… hope i will return here again… and i will still stay at this hotel.

So hot and so cooked in winter, there are no options to fix the temperature , there hasn’t remote or something to makes better! We had terrible sleep because of that heat. But hotel staffs are very good and friendly!

The hotel is located right above a night market, very convenient. The room was spacious. But other than these two things, I have very little good things to say. They never once made our beds, only took out the garbage and gave us bottled water each day. They also give the smallest rolls of toilet paper that looks like it’s a left over roll (but it’s actually how they make it there). The shower did not have any antislipping or safety handles on the wall, so one of us fell in the shower because the entire bathroom gets wet when you shower. The TV was not working either but we don’t really want to watch anything so we didn’t bother with fixing it. I would not stay here again.

ON ARRIVAL, ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE ROOM RATE FOR THE DAY IS LOWER THAN WHAT YOU BOOKED. THEN CANCEL YOUR ONLINE BOOKING. 😄 Bathroom was not quite clean and you can smell the slight unpleasant odour from the drainage. Second day, the room was not made up and water bottles not replenished. The water from the water cooler machine in the lobby was terrible and tasted like water with chemicals in it. It being September, quite cool, but the hotel would only turn on the power for the room AC in the evening, and turn off your AC main power around midnight. Fortunately it was not hot in the room from midnight to the morning. But I have never stayed at a hotel that turns off your AC power at midnight!
