Xining Hostels

"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! 🌟"

"Enjoyed my stay at this hostel because of its vibes. Some people are just more suited as hosts than others, and the young boss of this hostel is certainly one such. Helpful, respectful, and with a sense of humour. The last picture is of the boss with us three guests - a Chinese, a Singaporean and a Japanese guest. The sitting room is a great gathering place - every evening guests gather there to chill and chat."

"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 :)"

"Location was really good, just near the train station and a bus stop going to train station and Kumbum Monastery, but it's quite hard to find at night especially it's in a dark alley. Staff was friendly and helpful. However, when I stayed, the water was on and off (mostly off) ― some people had to call the staff to turn it on. And that made the toilet unusable as well!"

"·The lobby is well decorated and clean, and the atmosphere is very good. There is also a kitten. ·The room is on the second floor, so it will be a little difficult to carry luggage. ·The room is large, but there is no sunlight. The bed is good and there are many tables, which is very convenient. ·Good price ·There is a water dispenser, which is very convenient to drink water. ·There is a microwave, which is very convenient for heating meals. ·It’s good to have antibacterial hand sanitizer. ·Washing machines are very expensive, costing 6 yuan per wash. ·The geographical location is remote, there is nothing to go shopping around, and there is very little food. There are no shared bicycles or electric vehicles in Xining. It takes at least half an hour to take a bus to the city. It takes about 700 meters to walk to the bus station. There is no subway in Xining. ·Due to the off-season, men’s and women’s showers and bathrooms are mixed. When I was first introduced, it was said that men and women were separated. Later, I saw that the men’s shower and bathroom were clearly empty, and boys would also choose to enter the women’s shower and women’s bathrooms to take a shower and use the toilet. I was particularly surprised and asked The boss found out that it was for mixed use, and the shower head was handheld and could not be hung up. It is difficult to adjust the water temperature in the shower room. A little more is very hot and a little less is very cold. The top of the shower room is open and the bath is very cold. ·There was no hot water in the wash basin, and there was a faucet that sprayed water at people. It sprayed all over my pants. ·The temperature of the entire youth hostel is also very cold, at least five or six degrees lower than the outdoor temperature. Wear short-sleeved clothes outdoors and jackets indoors. ·The wireless network is very poor. The wireless network in public areas is very good, but as soon as you enter the room and close the door, you instantly enter the 2G era. I wrote this review using data traffic. The overall feeling looks good, and the check-in experience is average. If it is the peak season in summer, it should be great. It will be very lively when there are many people. The men's and women's bathroom showers can be used separately, and it will not be very cold, but the Internet may be worse."

"This was my first time staying in a youth hostel and it was a great experience. There are three of us. When we booked the room, we basically looked at a four-person room, but the store was very attentive and reserved a room for us specifically for three people. The store owner is also very nice. Especially that little sister. Love it, love it! ! ! !"
