Hotel Dengan Spa di Qinghai, China

The location of the hotel I booked this time was excellent. During check-in, the front desk staff, 'Xiao 6,' was incredibly efficient and provided very detailed information about local attractions. Right opposite the hotel, there's a 'Gá Zhāng Wá' BBQ restaurant which tasted delicious. You'll also find malls, supermarkets, and places to buy local specialties conveniently nearby; just a 5 to 10-minute walk straight after turning left from the hotel. The nearest small night market is also only about a 15-minute walk away and is quite bustling. The room's hygiene was satisfactory; it was quiet and comfortable, and the bedding was clean and tidy. The comfort level was decent. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options in a buffet style, allowing us to taste local specialties, which were very tasty – though it did get quite crowded. Nevertheless, it was a pleasant experience overall, especially since we were traveling with family. We enjoyed exploring the surrounding area and visiting nearby tourist spots.

After completing a circuit of the Qinghai-Gansu Loop Highway, I returned to Xining to rest and recuperate. Since I'd stayed in an intercity hotel in western Sichuan last year and found it very comfortable, I booked a two-day trip. On the day of check-in, I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night and discovered a leak in the bathroom ceiling. The next day, I contacted the waiter and showed him the photos, but he replied that they had reported it to the supervisor, and that was that. The license plate I registered at check-in confirmed that it was registered for two days, but it expired the next day. I got stuck behind the garage exit and was blocked by other cars.

We started our final China trip form Ürümqi followed by Turpin and Dunhuang. While our hotels there were reasonable, we felt really comfortable when we stayed at at a Club floor room at Sofitel Xining. Their service was one of the best we have experienced during our seven China trips so far. We enjoyed the comfort and the staff’s dedicated service. Thank you.

The Sofitel Residences, despite being ten years old, are still well-maintained. Having a washing machine, fridge, and induction hob makes it convenient to cook a little something. However, the hairdryer and toothbrushes could use an upgrade. The customer service staff are very well-trained. Xiao Quan at the front desk was incredibly thoughtful; hearing we wanted to stir-fry vegetables, she specifically helped us buy a wok! The hotel's location is excellent. The breakfast at the Western restaurant looks a bit dated, but the selection is quite rich. There are plenty of dining and entertainment options nearby. Recommended!
