Kashgar Prefecture Hostels

Great place! Friendly and helpful staff. I mostly spoke with Wei, as he speaks English. Very helpful, especially a day when I left the hostel, and I unexpectedly had to return! I was already checked in when I arrived at 10:30 pm and got the same room. Super easy! 6-person dorm even has toilet facility in the room! Very convenient! Surprisingly I didn't take many photos of the place - just the roof top view 😹 Oh yeah, there is a roof top! ;) with a pool table.

I wrote this comment in the taxi when I was leaving. Because of my health, I couldn't adapt anymore and had to end my trip early. I encountered some small incidents when booking the room. It was not the store's fault but my own fault. However, the boss sister was very patient. I felt very comfortable here. I was reluctant to leave. It was like my own home in another city. I will come back here if I have the chance to come to Kashgar.

They are currently the only hostel accommodating foreigners as of July 2023. Most of the hotels Trip. com provides don't allow foreigners. But Trip reps are very helpful via chat calling up options for you - and refund you if it turns out a booking denies you. And even compensate you for the hardship. Best booking company ever. The only negative that can't be changed is not enough toilets (porcelain hole in the ground, not a proper western toilet seat if that's important to you ) for the amount of people. I think my floor accommodates 14 people with just 1 shower/toilet. The shower is in the toilet space so it's very easy to slip and get your foot in the toilet floor hole.. Wear flip flops. If someone is in the shower and you need toilet, you better be able to hold it in. Also, the beds are thin flat japanese style matresses so I might not be your cup of tea. Besides that, the location is great. It's in the old town right on the wall above the nightlife bar street but the loud music don't reach the rooms. Rooms have fans and strong AC. That said, if there are Chinese in your room, they will ask to turn both off. They like it hot. .. I came on a loaded touring bicycle. They found space for it in the employee/storage room on the 2nd floor. I have a large bike and was able to carry it up the narrow stairs. If you're more than 1 person on a bicycle tour together, the bikes might not fit in the hostel. Maybe lock them outside. With tons of cameras and police, no one will dare steal them. At worse, people will pose next to your loaded bike as they did mine when I stopped for a cold beer before checking in. The staff spoke good English considering how remote Kashgar is and were very helpful and kind. Unlike typical hostels outside China , people are respectful and quiet here.

The Youth Hostel is close to the ancient city. It is too convenient to walk into the ancient city. The quadruple room we live in is more comfortable. It provides desk lamps and plugs for charging. There are curtains to block. It pays more attention to privacy. The hostel has a washing machine. It is very convenient to scan the code for laundry. The terrace is relatively open. In the evening, young people from all over the world gathered to chat, you can also play movies, and there is an atmosphere! The hostel is on the third floor and needs to carry luggage up, which is not very convenient!

Exclusively for the praise of Sister Xia: Sister Xia received me to check in on the first day, which gave me a strong sense of affinity. After I checked in, I invited me to participate in the New Year's Eve event the next day. The content of the event was quite rich. Everyone bought vegetables and dumplings, cooked, kicked dumplings, and everyone in the ancient city at night. Cat-catching mouse game (very fun) and then tea party, then music and dance 💃, everyone got up together, The atmosphere is quite bursting, and when the night is quiet, there will be werewolf killing games every day (very fun) and happy New Year's Eve activities. Later, I contacted the sister, getting better and better, all kinds of harmony, the sister took special care of me and often condolences to everyone. Well, in short, good sister. Later, the happiest thing was that after the Xijie sister invited her to the West pole several times. Under the leadership of the Xijie sister, the scenery became different. We patted all the way~ all the way hi hi hi ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Oh, a beautiful day ends with an unforgettable tonight. I am leaving the next day~ I am leaving Xinjiang. This place has love, home, and warmth. Sister Xia steamed buns for me and let me eat on the road. Ah~ moved~ moved~ and the friends I know from the Youth Hostel, singing for me to see me off. I am not willing to leave the country, I am reluctant to leave the sister. Love Xinjiang, love the sister, have the fate of the river and lake to see.

This may be the most popular youth hostel in Kashgar, but I personally don't like it here. Advantages: There is a large courtyard for travel friends to enjoy water, and there is also a place to dry clothes. Insufficient: Environmental sanitation is average. More importantly, due to the high occupancy rate, more than 10 people shared a bathroom! Chattering in the courtyard can disturb people resting in the room. So after returning from Ta County, I changed to a youth hostel.
