Hotel 2-Star di Qinghai, China

Facilities: The ingredients are beautifully colored, a vibrant red, and the flavor is rich but not greasy—it's a very authentic restaurant. The ambiance is fantastic; it's the perfect choice for gatherings with family and friends or company team-building events. 💓 I absolutely love this hidden gem of a restaurant! I'll definitely be a regular customer. The staff are very professional, patiently explaining everything and answering many questions.

The service was excellent, and the location was very convenient. The environment was beautiful, and everything was clean and well-maintained with complete facilities. The breakfast was delicious. It's located behind a hospital, above a shopping mall, and in front of a snack street. Overall, it was really great.

Simple budget accommodation. Quiet back lane location, but walking distance to temple. Good looking food menu but you have to navigate an app. Nice staff. Clothes line in room was nice surprise.

The only one good thing staying here is the location. Be warned that the room is small and bath towels are not issued. It appeared that the management has a strut control on the issuing of amenities for the room. There's also no sign of the aircon controller in the room. Not recommended for long stays.

Xining is a fantastic, vibrant city, and my biggest regret is not staying longer; it deserves way more time than just a quick transit stop thanks to its incredible food scene, night markets, and laid-back vibe. During my visit, I stayed at LETE Hostel, which serves as a solid, character-rich base for exploring the region. The top-floor communal space has real history and soul, beautifully flooded with sunlight, packed with green plants, a massive library, and even three cute resident birds. The ladies at the front desk are incredibly kind-hearted and welcoming, always doing their best to help out. Location-wise, it’s perfect - super convenient for the night markets, local food stalls, and bus stops, plus they offer safe bike storage for cyclists. For the price of a private room, the value and hospitality here are unbeatable, and I would absolutely stay again - and next time, I’ll be giving Xining the full week it deserves.

My home is right in front of Harmony Homes. If it weren't for the guests at home, I wouldn't have known there was such an affordable hotel. The experience is very good. A lot of toiletries are given as gifts, so you don’t need to take them from home. The decoration of the room is quite new. The mattresses and quilt cores on the bed should not have been used for a long time. They are all quite new, which is good. We booked two rooms, and found out that the stickers on the walls of each room were different, each with its own meaning, and they were very thoughtful. All the guest supplies in the room are disposable, so you don’t have to worry about hygiene and whether there are bacteria. You can just replace them after use. The business really thinks about consumers. In the future, guests who come to the house will choose your place to stay. Rest assured, feel at ease and take care! ! ! 👍👍👍

From the moment we arrived at the hotel, someone was there to help with our luggage. The front desk staff were very welcoming, and the manager was exceptionally friendly. The front desk even provides a handy little guide to local attractions, which was very helpful. Our check-in process was smooth, and the room itself was great – I was very satisfied. It was also spotlessly clean, and each room has its own independent air conditioning unit that works perfectly for cooling. The hotel also offers a self-service laundry room. For anyone traveling, I highly recommend this hotel. It's cozy and comfortable, the service is excellent, the rooms are lovely, and there's free parking. Plus, it's conveniently located with easy access to transportation.

The hostel boasts an excellent location on Xinghai Road. My taxi driver told me it's a popular street for locals, bustling with street food and restaurants. (After two nights, I can confirm this observation!) I arrived close to 11 PM, and the male owner who checked me in was incredibly helpful, even carrying my heavy luggage to the second floor. He also added me to the hostel's WeChat group, which is great for travel info. The group announcement even has a detailed hostel introduction and a food guide – impressive! As for the room, I booked a 10-bed dorm but was kindly upgraded to a 6-bed dorm – thank you, owner! The room isn't huge, but it's very clean. There's a laundry room on the second floor, and a small open-air balcony where you can hang clothes or just relax (I heard there's a larger, proper drying area on the top floor, but I didn't go, so I can't confirm). The only slight disappointment was the women's communal bathroom on the second floor. It had an unpleasant odor, and the biggest issue was how narrow the individual stalls were. They have Western-style toilets, and the toilets themselves were quite dirty. When using the toilet, your head tends to hit the door because it's so cramped. There's a sign saying it's going to be renovated soon, and I really hope they improve it! There are also two communal toilets on the first floor, which are more spacious and have squat toilets, which are more common for Chinese people. This definitely makes up for the shortcomings of the toilets on the second floor.

We checked in late at night after touring Chaka Salt Lake, and since we were traveling with a child, they offered us a room upgrade, so the three of us slept very comfortably. The breakfast was also great, with just the right items for breakfast, and they replenished the food immediately whenever it ran low. It is truly the best.

Pros: For its price point, the hygiene, soundproofing, and location are top-notch. It's right next to the train station, and even in a room at the end of the hall, you can't hear any outside noise. Cons: On the night we checked in, I specifically asked the front desk about breakfast times. They only told me 7:00-10:00 but failed to mention that since the hotel shares an entrance and elevators with the Ji Hotel, the restaurant floor can only be accessed with a Ji Hotel key card. Guests staying at Hanting Express are limited to dining at the single table in the lobby, which is less than 20 square meters. This feels like a deliberate concealment. We paid extra for double breakfast portions for both our rooms, but the food was incredibly sparse: only 1 boiled egg, 1 pre-packaged burger/chicken wrap (choose one), and 1 cup of soy milk per person. If you wanted more, you had to pay extra. The experience gap between different brands within the same hotel group is huge. Suggestions: 1. Absolutely do not pay extra for breakfast; it's very poor value for money. You're better off grabbing something from a street vendor. 2. I hope the hotel front desk will proactively explain the actual breakfast dining situation to guests who have purchased breakfast during check-in, to reduce negative reviews. Multiple reviews have already stated – had they known the breakfast was like this, they would never have paid extra for it.
