5-Star Hotels in Qinghai, China

During my trip around Qinghai Lake, I stayed at the Kaiyuan Hotel in Xining, and it was a fantastic experience. The hotel is very close to Xining Station, within walking distance, which is super convenient for catching high-speed trains. The front desk staff were very dedicated and proactive in helping with any issues. The hotel breakfast was plentiful, and the restaurant was spacious. They also have an underground parking garage, which is great for those traveling by car. The rooms were clean and tidy, and the bedding was very comfortable. The hotel's surroundings have a well-developed commercial area, making shopping and strolling very convenient. It's close to Xining's shopping streets and night markets. Highly recommended!

The hotel is ideally located in a business district, well-equipped with facilities, including a free laundry room. The breakfast was a pleasant surprise, a delightful mix of Chinese and Western dishes, featuring exquisite Chinese pastries and authentic Western options. The variety was extensive, and the taste was excellent. The bedding was comfortable. Highly recommended!

This time, I took annual leave and brought my mom to Xining before the National Day holiday. I chose this Sofitel hotel on Trip.com. Three days before check-in, I received a confirmation call from the hotel and added the concierge on WeChat, which felt quite friendly. Upon arrival, due to weather issues, our flight was delayed by about an hour, and it was already past 10 PM. The front desk lady was still fully focused and quickly handled our check-in, also providing some tips about the weather and getting around. The room was quite spacious and even had a humidifier. For some reason, my lips felt very dry during my stay in Xining, but I didn't have that feeling back in Shanghai. The bed was soft yet supportive, and my back felt very comfortable after a night's sleep. The pillows were also suitable, and my neck and shoulders didn't ache. The teabags provided in the room were also very fragrant and not bitter. The toilet paper was thick and reassuring to use. The housekeeping lady even left a handwritten card, which felt very heartwarming. The hotel's second-floor banquet hall often hosts wedding banquets. During my stay in Xining, I stumbled upon several weddings, including Tibetan-style ones. I even encountered a lady in ******* traditional dress in the elevator who enthusiastically invited us to observe, allowing us to experience ******* wedding culture. Overall, the Sofitel truly offered good value, even exceeding expectations.

Five stars, definitely five stars! The view from this hotel is absolutely unbeatable. Open the window and you're right by Qinghai Lake, watching the water change colors in layers – you could spend ages just lying in bed and looking out. The room was clean and comfortable, and the bedding was super cozy. I especially recommend the ******* medicinal bath. After soaking last night, I felt completely relaxed, all the fatigue from driving was gone. I just crashed in my room and slept incredibly deeply. But therein lies the problem: I had specifically set an alarm to wake up and watch the sunrise over the lake, but I slept straight through until morning, completely oblivious to the alarm. When I woke up and drew back the curtains, the sun was already high in the sky. So there's only one flaw: the ******* medicinal bath is so comfortable it makes you miss the sunrise. For those who want to see the sunrise, I suggest setting multiple alarms after your bath, or simply staying two nights. I'm already thinking about coming back to catch the sunrise I missed this time.

My stay at this Solo Starry Camp exceeded my expectations, and I have to give a huge shout-out to my dedicated butler! Before my arrival, the butler proactively contacted me, thoughtfully sending check-in tips including the room's Wi-Fi password, meal times and locations for all three meals, and even sent the restaurant menu in advance for our reference. What's more, they meticulously organized a travel guide for Water Yadan, truly considering every aspect. During my stay, no matter what questions I had, the butler always responded promptly and patiently. Their quick responses throughout made all the difference, and their attention to detail was incredibly heartwarming. Being in the vast and desolate Gobi, I was initially worried about various inconveniences on the journey. However, thanks to the butler's meticulous and thoughtful service, all my concerns melted away, making us feel completely at ease in the wilderness. The camp's scenery is absolutely stunning, and the views of Water Yadan are breathtaking. At night, you can even see a sky full of brilliant stars. But what impressed me most was the butler's genuine attentiveness – it wasn't just a procedural reception, but rather a focus on understanding and anticipating the guests' needs from their perspective. This was a truly healing and unforgettable journey through the Northwest wilderness. I highly recommend it! Next time I return to this Gobi, I'll definitely look for this same butler, eagerly anticipating another trip under the starry sky 🌌

I had a wonderful stay! The room was spacious and well-designed, spotlessly clean, and completely odor-free. The bed was so soft and comfortable, I slept like a baby. The bathroom had a great wet/dry separation, and there was plenty of hot water, with all the essential amenities provided. The hotel staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and friendly. The location is super convenient for transportation, yet the surroundings are peaceful and quiet. It’s definitely an excellent choice for a trip. The hygiene was top-notch; there wasn't a speck of dust or dirt anywhere, and the room was well-ventilated with a comfortable temperature. The soundproofing was fantastic, making for a truly quiet night's rest. The facilities were excellent, with soft, pleasant lighting. The staff were responsive and friendly. This hotel offers much better value for money than others in its price range, and I would genuinely recommend it and definitely return.

Staying at the Qaidam International Hotel in Xining was such a breeze! The room was clean and even had a humidifier, which is perfect for the high-altitude climate. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The front desk staff were enthusiastic and efficient, and the soundproofing was excellent. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm here.

Before starting our Loop Line tour, we chose the Sanyu Hotel for our stay in Xining and had a great experience. So, upon returning to Xining after the tour, we decided to stay at Sanyu again. The front desk lady was sweet and enthusiastic. The welcome snacks and local yogurt were delicious, especially the yogurt with its fragrant milk skin. Our room on the 23rd floor offered a wide-open view. Not far away, there was a morning market by the river, perfect for pretending to be a local and enjoying a leisurely stroll. The facilities were well-maintained, and the room had good soundproofing. For breakfast, there were some local specialty foods, and I even tried half a bowl of ******* savory milk tea, which was quite good. Overall, it was great, and I recommend it!

The hotel is clean, location is great to the nearby supermarket, shopping malls and the wildlife park. Many restaurants around. It would be great if there's dryer attached with washing machine. Breakfast is great, blended with both western and Chinese selections. I came back to stay with Sebel after my previous stay because of the friendly and informative stuffs who have helped me with the luggages and check in. However, why I rated the service with lower point because after I came back to stay for 2 consecutive nights, we have encountered different stuffs that gave totally opposite vibes, which were arrogant and no greetings, no smile.

Opted for the old-school Qinghai Hotel for our Xining trip, and it was a really comfortable stay for our family trip. 👍 Definitely lives up to its old five-star reputation; the service was genuinely excellent. Staff proactively opened doors and helped with luggage upon arrival and departure, and luggage storage was very convenient. They were also very considerate towards seniors and children. Attention to detail was impressive, they even provided a children's toothbrush in the room. I stayed on the 19th floor, and the city night view was particularly beautiful. The breakfast spread was extensive, with both Chinese and Western options, ensuring everyone in the family found something they liked. 🥰 The location was also a plus; it was easy to get a taxi right outside, making travel to attractions like Ta'er Monastery hassle-free. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 The room hygiene was top-notch, which made for a reassuring stay.
