Hotel Dengan Pools di Ningxia, China

Before departing for Yinchuan, I was a bit unsure about the room types. Upon arrival, I had a brief chat with Geng Wei, explaining my needs. She objectively detailed the differences between the two room types without just pushing the more expensive option, which was very genuine. The hotel's lamb offal soup for breakfast was surprisingly delicious, a real bonus. Overall, it was a very comfortable stay.

With the high temperatures in Suzhou and Hangzhou, this is a great escape to the heat in the northwest, featuring a lovely guesthouse village. Nan'an is the largest guesthouse complex in the area, with 40 rooms out of a total of 100. This time, we stayed at Taojiaying West House, with a swimming pool in front and a farm/ranch/ranch in the back – very pleasant. The room details were also very well done, suitable for large families or groups of friends. Both restaurants in the village are good for breakfast: 🌻Xiangke (more variety), 🍜Lao Wang Ji Breakfast & Midnight Canteen. Special praise to Nan'an's management team, including Da Yuan and her group; they communicated with us before our arrival and were very attentive. During our stay, our drone got stuck in a tree in the yard, and the management team helped us find a solution from evening until morning, finally fixing it with a tree trunk over ten meters long. - Climb the Great Wall (five-minute climb to the top) for panoramic views of the Yellow River and the village. - Feeding lambs, riding camels, milking goats. I call it the Yellow River version of ”Wuzhen Village”; the entire village has an integrated design with a Mediterranean feel, perfect for photos.

Location: The hotel is conveniently located near Yinchuan Municipal Government and Ningxia Museum, making it easy to access attractions and the train station. Its prime location is a definite plus. However, the hotel entrance is situated between two buildings, and many ride-sharing drivers get misdirected to the parking lot by their navigation, making it difficult for them to pick up guests. It's advisable to factor in extra time when booking a ride. Room: This time, I used my points to upgrade to a Mountains and Rivers View room. The facilities are pretty similar to the standard rooms, but being on a higher floor offered a nice view of the Helan Mountains. Unfortunately, the window glass was very dirty, making it impossible to take good photos. I suggest cleaning them. Also, the air inlet cover on the handle of the hairdryer in the bathroom was missing, indicating that some facilities need prompt maintenance. The TV was quite old; it couldn't cast, and both the picture and sound quality were poor. Food: The breakfast selection was rich and varied. However, some of the English translations for certain dishes were significantly flawed and need immediate correction. For dining out, Jin Feng Wanda Plaza is nearby. Alternatively, if you turn left twice after exiting the hotel, within 50 meters, there's a restaurant called 'Bai Xing Han Can' which offers a wide variety of dishes that cater well to Southern palates.

We chose the Kempinski in Yinchuan, and the location is excellent. Across the road are the Ningxia Museum, the Municipal People's Government, the Science and Technology Museum, and the International Convention and Exhibition Center. Daisy checked us in, upgraded our room type, and gave us access to the executive lounge, making the experience truly fantastic. We encountered a small issue with the room, and Daisy resolved it very quickly. The breakfast selection was rich and varied. The executive lounge was excellent; the afternoon tea biscuits were delicious, and the dinner featured a carefully curated menu with comprehensive nutritional elements, both visually appealing and tasty. Staff in all departments were very responsible, and housekeeping service was also great. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends.

Finally got to stay at my dream desert hotel, Tengol. The rammed-earth houses are quietly nestled among the sand dunes. Sitting by the window and gazing out at the endless desert instantly brought a sense of inner peace. Both the rooms and public areas of the hotel have a great vibe. Having a drink in the lounge while the desert breeze blows by makes you forget the hustle and bustle of daily life for a while. The evening fire show and stargazing activities were particularly impressive. It can definitely be considered a trip full of wonderful experiences~

Extremely satisfied with this trip! The hostess contacted us in advance, and her attitude was thoughtful and lovely. She informed us that the room might not be big enough and upgraded us, also asking if we'd like to order meals. Since our itinerary was quite tight, we didn't order food this time, but we should definitely try it next time. The B&B's environment was a wonderful surprise, located amidst a large vineyard. A short bike ride away, the entire Helan Mountain range appears before your eyes. The restaurant also offers an unbeatable view. The tour of the winery was a nice addition too. Overall, there's so much waiting for everyone to discover. I regret only booking for one day; a more leisurely stay would have been even better.

The room environment feels comfortable, the hotel is in a good location, and the transportation is generally convenient. Duoduo at the front desk said that there is Hengdian Cinema nearby. We went to the snack street in the evening, which is not far from the hotel and can be reached in a few minutes on foot. The room is comfortable and sanitary, the front desk and room attendants are happy to provide all kinds of help, the facilities are very smart, and the price-performance ratio is good. It is the first choice for next stay.

The hotel boasts an excellent location with convenient transportation access. As an established international chain hotel, while the facilities may show some age, they are well-maintained and kept very clean. The breakfast is decent and offers good value for money at its price point. The executive lounge's happy hour offers four dishes, two main courses, and a soup, which is certainly enough to fill you up. However, some staff members in certain areas could benefit from further training.

I came to Yinchuan alone to relax, and I chose this hotel mainly because of its convenient location. The actual stay was even better than expected. The first impression was how clean the room was; there were no stains on the carpet, and the windows were sparkling clean. I didn't go anywhere in the afternoon, just stayed in the room and watched a downloaded movie; drawing the curtains created a private cinema. In the evening, after showering, I stood in the window in my bathrobe watching the night view; the city lights twinkled like stars, and my heart felt at peace. Sometimes a good trip doesn't need to be bustling; a comfortable room is enough.

Very nice hotel, the staff were great, room clean and very comfortable. Breakfast buffet was excellent but no solo dining options for dinner. No spa and should be removed from amenities. A friendly city that should get more tourists; train service should be improved.
