Hotel Dengan Pools di Ningxia, China

This truly lives up to its reputation as Yinchuan's best five-star hotel. First, the room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, especially the bathroom, which was surprisingly large—it felt even bigger than the bedroom! The shower pressure was fantastic, and the toiletries were a British brand with a lovely, natural scent. The bedding was super comfortable, ensuring a restful sleep. They even provided a capsule coffee machine with coffee capsules. The complimentary shoe-shining service was a thoughtful touch, and the in-room internet was fast and reliable. Secondly, the breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of high-quality dishes. The Western pastry selection, especially the flaky croissants, was authentic and delicious. The live cooking stations for Eggs Benedict and egg white rolls are features you typically only find in top-tier five-star hotels. They also had freshly squeezed watermelon juice and rich, high-quality coffee. What really impressed me were the local Ningxia specialties in the Chinese section, such as Jinsi Sanzi, Tangmaya, Tangmaye, fried pastries, and mung bean cakes. The chef even enthusiastically introduced these local delicacies to me. And of course, there were other Ningxia specialties like lamb soup, lamb pies, beef buns, and goji berry yogurt—I was extremely satisfied. Finally, all the hotel staff provided excellent service, especially the housekeeping attendant on the day I checked in. This lady deserves special commendation for her thoughtful and warm service. The front desk even accommodated my request to keep a room key card, specially giving me a pristine commemorative card. Additionally, the hotel is conveniently located near the Ningxia Museum. The JW Marriott Hotel Yinchuan left a wonderful impression on me. Yinchuan truly is a beautiful and friendly city.

An old-school upscale hotel, and I was genuinely delighted from check-in at the front desk to happily checking out. The hotel's surroundings are excellent, with convenient transportation. It's a five-minute walk to the Ningxia Museum, and an eight-minute walk or three-minute bike ride to many creative shops (like Qimanfu and Liu Sanduo). Getting to Ziqiang Alley takes about 20 minutes by bike. The breakfast was also incredibly varied, clean, and delicious. The rooms are spacious with good soundproofing and even include children's slippers and toiletries. The rigor and pursuit of excellence typical of German enterprises are perfectly showcased here. I will definitely choose Kempinski again next time. Finally, regarding some previous reviews mentioning that the hotel facilities aren't very new: this hotel is 16 years old, and its upkeep and maintenance are truly outstanding.

I was looking for a hotel that would be comfortable for introverts – a place where I could relax, enjoy the scenery, people-watch, observe the wind, birds, and insects, with minimal interaction but genuine service, and quick responses when needed. serendipitously, I found it this time. A few days before check-in, the housekeeper set up a WeChat group to inquire about our arrival method and dining reservations. After check-in, we received reminders and activity notifications. Before bed, we got a night reminder and the on-duty staff's phone number. Throughout, there was no unnecessary chatter or disturbance, and face-to-face interactions were warm and sincere. Upon entering the manor, the May grapevines were still slowly growing, and all I saw was a vast expanse of loess. However, stepping into the lobby, the contrast was striking – an indoor tropical garden! Staghorn ferns, banana trees, vines, orchids, and other plants thrived beautifully; some banana trees even bore fruit. The restaurant on the second floor offered a panoramic view of the Helan Mountains, with the side profile of the Reclining Buddha clearly visible. If the weather was good, we could enjoy the sunset from the restaurant, watching the sun slowly disappear behind the mountains, painting the sky with brilliant hues. While the accommodation already met my expectations, the restaurant's delicious food was truly a pleasant surprise. Perhaps it's my stereotype, but I've always felt that guesthouse restaurants tend to be a bit pricey and the food generally mediocre. Who would have thought that the dinner was so good that my family and I decided to book lunch for the next day before we even finished eating? For dinner, we ordered stewed lamb from Yanchi, scrambled eggs with sand onion, and 'tangmian youxiang' (half portion). For lunch the next day: 'chuanzui' carp, fragrant goji berry shoots, and lamb buns or dumplings? Oh, I forgot… The taste was on par with, or even surpassed, well-known old restaurants in the city. (Two dishes and one staple were more than enough for two people – I was stuffed! Order moderately, don't be as gluttonous as me!) Finally, a big thank you to our housekeeper Niu Niu, store manager Li Yang, and the other staff members. Niu Niu was always enthusiastic and polite in all our interactions, always greeting us with a smile. Store manager Li Yang provided detailed explanations during the evening wine tasting, ensuring everyone felt included (even us in the corner, hahaha!). And to the other young people whose names I can't recall but whose brief encounters left an impression: the girl who led us on the cellar tour; the clear-eyed young man who diligently used a lint roller to pick up stray hairs in each room; and the curly-haired guy who effortlessly lifted our luggage when we got out of the car. Also, the sisters in the restaurant – every single person made me feel genuinely welcome, polite, and never intrusive. I'm already looking forward to my next visit with friends for a longer stay!

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.

Our first night was in a capsule room, which was quite spacious and comfortable for adults, and the kids really enjoyed it. For the second and third nights, we moved to a different room. Half of the curtains didn't block out light, the toilet constantly ran 24/7, and the shower would suddenly turn completely cold every three minutes or so. It was really terrible; it might just be a hardware issue with that particular room.

This hotel is really great, especially considering it's in the desert. The cleanliness, functionality, and spaciousness were all excellent. The food, including both Chinese and Western options, as well as the BBQ, was surprisingly good. I'd read some negative reviews online before going, but once we got there, I found that everyone, from the butler to the hotel pool staff, the restaurant staff, and even the cleaning aunties, provided wonderful, warm, and friendly service. There's also a great variety of activities nearby, so it was easy to keep the kids entertained every day with sand and water play. The stargazing and other hotel programs were fantastic and really added a romantic touch. Everyone in our group was very satisfied, and we'd definitely be willing to go back!

They provided a welcome gift for our child upon check-in: small slippers, a toothbrush, a towel, and hand cream. Our child was absolutely thrilled! The room was also very large and spacious, with a separate wet and dry area in the bathroom, and even a double vanity sink, which was fantastic! 👍🏻 Great value for money.

My partner and I came to Yinchuan for the weekend. We booked the hotel on a whim, and it turned out to be the highlight of the entire trip. The room had a warm color scheme and layered lighting, unlike some hotels that are just stark white. In the afternoon, we snuggled up on the sofa by the window, basking in the sun and daydreaming, neither of us saying a word, but it felt incredibly comfortable. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant, ordering a plate of hand-pulled lamb and a cold salad with wild onions. The lamb was tender and not ***** at all, and the wild onions were crisp and refreshing—even more authentic than what you'd find at trendy restaurants. After dinner, we took a walk hand-in-hand around the hotel. The evening breeze was gentle, and the streetlights cast a warm glow. There weren't any special plans, but every moment felt blissful.

A very comfortable stay! The staff were very friendly and it was located in a wonderful part of town. The room itself was comfortable and clean. I especially loved the complimentary shampoo and conditioner; they were so refreshing! The breakfast was also very delicious with lots of great options and flexible seating. I would definitely stay here again.

I highly recommend the Anmo Hotel Helanshan! The hotel is nestled at the foot of Helan Mountain, offering spectacular natural scenery, and the stay was incredibly comfortable. The staff were exceptionally warm and attentive; traveling with a child, they thoughtfully upgraded our room. And because my little one wasn't feeling well, they even allowed a late checkout, which was a wonderfully thoughtful detail. The room was comfortable, and the environment was tranquil – a perfect score! There aren't many dining options nearby, but we ate twice at the hotel's Chinese restaurant, and the food was delicious both times.
