July 10-11 to Liangdu alone, stay at Zijin B&B. It is adjacent to Dongguan Street, Mojia Street, Daxin Street, Xiaoxin Street Commercial, Night Market Centralized Area, convenient access, clean, hygienic, quiet and warm environment. The boss is warm and thoughtful, giving the best guide to Qinghai Lake and Ta'er Temple two famous scenic spots and helping to book, so that I can effectively use the time to fill my eyes; recommend Yixin hand-caught lamb, Mazhong sheep intestine noodles local food, so that I don't have much foot effort, you can have a full mouth. Because a store, a boss, fell in love with a city. Just left, I started to miss it. Go home and work hard to earn money, and strive to come back in winter!

YangdayuerStaying at the Sapphire Hotel in Xining was a much better experience than I expected. I was pleasantly surprised to find that breakfast was included, and it was excellent with a wide variety of choices, including delicious beef noodles. As I was driving an electric car, having charging stations at the hotel was incredibly convenient and solved my charging worries. The room was spacious and clean, and I slept very well. The hotel's location is fantastic, not far from Limeng Pedestrian Street and the Provincial Museum, making getting around very easy. The staff were all very helpful and responsive. If I come back to Xining, I would definitely choose this hotel again, and I highly recommend it to anyone self-driving to Qinghai.

Guest UserThe location is super convenient, close to major transport hubs and business districts, making it easy to get around and find food. This really saves on commute time. The room has all the basic amenities, and the bedding is reasonably comfortable. Hot water and Wi-Fi are stable, fulfilling basic rest needs. Hygiene is up to par; there are no noticeable odors or stains in public areas or the guest room, and daily cleaning is well-maintained. The price is very reasonable, offering good value for money compared to other places in the same area and category. It's ideal for short stays or business trips.

Posted on Jun 19, 2026|Elegant 2-Bed Room
Guest UserThe hotel has a great location, with underground parking available. It's within walking distance of the pedestrian street and the Qinghai Provincial Museum. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, as well as a supermarket.
The downside is that the bathroom light, exhaust fan, and a night light are all linked. So, when you go to the bathroom at night, everything turns on and gets incredibly noisy, which disturbs anyone sleeping in the bedroom. During the day, the same thing happens – the exhaust fan even turns on just from walking past the bathroom.
Smart technology is great, but if the logic is flawed, it's worse than simple manual controls. It also seemed like the air conditioning wasn't working, so we had to open the window to cool down, but being near a school, it could get noisy at times.

Xining Westin Hotel (commonly known as Westin) Overall Real Reviews
With an average rating of 4.6/5 on the platform, it's a high-value local luxury hotel in the city center, not an international Marriott Westin. Its advantages and disadvantages are clearly distinguished:
I. Core Positive Reviews (Frequently Praised by Guests)
1. Excellent Location, Top Choice for Shopping and Dining
- 3-minute walk to Wangfujing and Central Square; Xinghai Road Food Street and Shuijing Lane snacks are just downstairs, offering hand-pulled noodles, liangpi (cold skin noodles), and yogurt right outside.
- Airport bus stop nearby; 10-minute taxi ride to Xining Railway Station, convenient for self-driving, independent travel, and business trips.
- Yellow River riverside promenade downstairs, pleasant for evening strolls.
2. Cleanliness and Facilities Adapted to High Altitude Conditions
- Cleanliness rating 4.7; meticulous room cleaning, soft bedding, 24-hour hot water, and separate wet and dry bathroom. The entire room has underfloor heating, ensuring a comfortable stay in autumn and winter; it's equipped with a makeup mirror with a light, multiple charging outlets, disposable towels, toilet seat covers, and a feminine hygiene kit – thoughtful details.
- Oxygen-equipped rooms are a major highlight: diffused oxygen generation, ideal for first-time visitors to Xining worried about altitude sickness; the front desk offers free oxygen and basic altitude sickness medication, and some rooms have humidifiers.
3. Warm and responsive service
- 24-hour front desk, proactive assistance with luggage, recommendations for Qinghai Lake/Chaka routes, and free late check-out until 2 PM.
- Some guests receive a complimentary evening sweet soup; any requests are addressed within minutes, and returning guests often receive free room upgrades.
4. Excellent value breakfast
7:30-9:30 buffet, including local specialties: freshly cooked beef noodles, Qinghai yogurt, hand-grabbed rice, milk tea, and a full range of Chinese, Western, and halal dishes; an extra breakfast is only 28 RMB per person, generous portions and authentic flavors.
5. **Price-Friendly**
Regular room rates are 140-300 RMB, and even rooms with oxygen supply are reasonably priced. Compared to chain hotels in the same area, this one offers better space and amenities.
**II. Negative Reviews (Please Note Before Checking In)**
1. Significant Room Variations: Room sizes vary considerably for the same price range, with some lower floors feeling cramped. A few rooms have a slight odor coming from the bathroom drain; closing the bathroom door helps, and the front desk provides air freshener, but this is only a temporary solution.
2. Parking Inconvenience: The underground parking garage lacks automatic access control; you have to call staff to open the gate each time you enter or exit, a common complaint from drivers.
3. Ventilation and Odor Issues: Some lower floors and hallways have a slight musty smell; opening windows provides only limited relief.
4. No Air Conditioning: Only underfloor heating; rooms tend to be stuffy in summer, requiring you to open windows to cool them down.
5. Only one set of disposable bath towels is provided; multiple guests need to request additional towels from the front desk.
**III. Suitable & Unsuitable Groups**
**Recommended Stay**
- For tourists exploring Xining and those on the Qinghai loop (oxygen supply rooms are available for those experiencing altitude sickness)
- For short-term business trips, family short trips, and self-driving travelers:
- Budget around 200 (currency unspecified), looking for clean and comfortable accommodation in the city center with breakfast included.
Not recommended:
- Seeking international five-star standards, concerned about smells in old building hallways.
- Long-term self-driving travelers, frequent garage access, and find parking procedures cumbersome.
- Afraid of heat in summer and reliant on air conditioning.
IV. Practical Suggestions for Check-in:
1. If worried about altitude sickness, book a room with diffused oxygen supply and inform the front desk in advance to prepare oxygen.
2. Request a higher floor during check-in to avoid the ground floor and reduce odors and noise.
3. If driving, allow extra time to call and open the door, as parking may be inconvenient if you return late.
4. Advance booking is recommended during peak seasons, as prices may increase slightly during holidays.

yooyooooo
After staying for two nights, I was afraid of high altitude sickness, so I only washed my hair before leaving. The water was not hot and was close to body temperature. It is easy for outsiders to catch colds, so hot water is the most basic guarantee. The toilet in the room is like a wooden house, and it squeaks when you step on it. When I first checked in, I found a short hair on the pillow, uncleaned hair in the basket containing the toothbrush and comb, and soap soaked in a small dish with water... I hope the cleaning can pay attention to details.
Also, couldn't the front desk call first and ask if cleaning was needed? There is no anti-theft link in the room, and the aunt directly swiped her card to enter the room. Security and privacy are not well protected.
It is recommended that the laundry room provide some basic washing powder, and it is acceptable to provide it for a fee, otherwise it will be really inconvenient.
Overall, the hotel's location is convenient and the price-performance ratio is good.

Bruce Johnson CTI had two short (two nights each) stays at the San Want. The desk staff is excellent- they get things done, are friendly with a tourist with no Mandarin, and seem to genuinely care about my well being. Checkin was easy and smooth. I had a reservation through Trip.com. There is a food street next door, a Bank of China branch on the corner, and plenty of available taxis and a public bus system that is efficient. It is not a new building, but the owners maintain it. The house restaurant is okay, but there are many choices right outside the door. I will stay again if I return to Xining.

SipulachunsimaliangThe landlady is very warm and hospitable. She never smiles or talks. She is always cheerful and contagious. It makes people happy unconsciously. I urge her to stay here next time she comes to Xining.
