Yining City Hotels with Balcony

From the first moment, i had such an excellent time at Blue Dove. I chose the place for the incredible design of the place, the location within Kazankh ancient town, and the reference to Doves... I left with so much more! The owner and her husband were so helpful and brought ice coffees for me and my dad when we arrived, which was so welcome. They had local treats and fruit to try and a wonderful sense of community. They helped us arrange a driver to Qionkushtai and packed us a breakfast to go, with coffee :) Every detail has been carefully considered and it was a joy to stay at Blue Dove. I consider owner Wen to be my friend and look forward to visiting again. I highly recommend!

The room was spacious, the bedding was excellent, and I slept very comfortably. It had a strong ethnic feel. The room was very soundproof and clean; sitting in the courtyard in the evening was very pleasant. The owner was incredibly welcoming, and the breakfast was excellent and plentiful. They even helped cut the watermelon, and the cocktails they made were delicious and beautiful – so talented! It's also very close to Liuxing Street, with many great restaurants nearby; the location is fantastic. When I asked the owner, they recommended well-known local restaurants, not just trendy ones, but very good and tasteful. I'll definitely stay with the owner again next time! Thank you for the hospitality these past two days!

I had an amazing stay at this place! The room was clean, spacious and had everything one may need. The location seems to be quite good as well - it is close to the street with evening activities and at the same time in a quiet place. I was able to find open restaurants after midnight within a 5 minute walk. Xinbao, the person who works there (I assume he is the owner), was incredibly helpful and showed me where I could have breakfast and catch a taxi to the airport. He was also very patient when communicating through a transition app.

A True Hidden Gem – The Best Stay of My Xinjiang Trip! Out of my entire journey across Xinjiang, this homestay was by far the most memorable and heartwarming experience. The moment I stepped into the beautifully decorated home, with its stunning blue hues, traditional Uyghur details, and peaceful courtyard covered by a canopy of vines, I instantly felt at ease. It truly felt like home. What made it even more special was the incredible hospitality. The owner was exceptionally friendly, always ready with a warm smile and willing to help with anything I needed—whether it was sharing local tips, helping with transportation, or simply chatting over tea. Their kindness made me feel not just like a guest, but like part of the family. The attention to detail in every corner, the peaceful swing in the courtyard, and the cozy atmosphere created the perfect setting to relax after a day of exploring. I can’t recommend this place enough—if you’re traveling through Xinjiang and want to experience genuine warmth and culture, this is the place to be.

The location is fantastic, right inside Liuxing Street and very close to the entrance accessible by car, so you don't have to worry about dragging your luggage far. The area is lively and vibrant. If you get tired from exploring, you can easily pop back to your room for a rest before heading out again. The service was also exceptional and very welcoming; they even helped with our luggage. My only minor complaint is that the room was a bit small, especially the bathroom.

The owner upgraded our room for free! [Sayram Lake] Once again, I'm amazed! The room and the guesthouse environment are truly, truly beautiful! 🤩 **Cleanliness**: Very clean. I almost felt bad walking on the carpet with my shoes on. **Service**: Every staff member at the guesthouse was incredibly friendly and enthusiastic. ❤️ They insisted on helping with our luggage. Since it wasn't peak season when we visited, and rooms weren't in high demand, the owner allowed us a late check-out. What's most worth mentioning is the breakfast 🥣. It came in small portions, and the owner said it was local food made by their neighbor (the jam and small sausages were excellent! 👍). **Double ethnic costume experience**: I forgot to try this out. 😬 That's also because we arrived too late.

Even though I only stayed for one night, the value for money was truly excellent. The location is right inside the Kazanqi scenic area, so it's easy to find by taxi. The front desk lady was very kind and enthusiastic, and even helped me with my luggage. The room was clean, and the comforter and pillows felt brand new. The courtyard is huge and absolutely beautiful. That night, I even joined a mahjong game with some other guests – it was so much fun! I hope to stay longer next time.

I highly recommend this guesthouse! It has a modern, light luxury feel throughout, and the entire space is clean and bright. The two large beds are spacious and not at all cramped, and the mattresses are just right – neither too soft nor too firm. The super-sized projection screen by the window, combined with lounging in a chair to watch shows, feels like a private cinema. The small round table with green plant decor adds a touch of elegance. The independent and tidy bathroom is well-equipped, the location is convenient, and the landlord is thoughtful and attentive. It was a perfect stay, my top choice for accommodation!

The hygiene is excellent, and the owner is very warm and friendly. This is my second time visiting Yining, and the people here are genuinely wonderful. The hotel has a washing machine for laundry, and the staff even provided laundry detergent and hangers. The location is easy to find, right at the intersection of the main road in Liuxing Street.

Yili Hotel is actually a formal reception venue primarily for business travelers and official guests. It's only open to regular tourists when there are no special events. The hotel has its own garden, and you can drive in directly without parking fees. Only at night will the gatekeeper need to confirm your entry. There are plenty of parking spaces inside. While it faces the common issue of hotels having aging facilities, Building 3, where our standard room was located, is generally quite new and appears to have been recently renovated. The breakfast area and suites are in the tall Building 2. The gym is in Building 6, with only a few treadmills and no dumbbells or other strength training equipment. Given the small space, that's probably all they could fit. There's also a supermarket, souvenir shop, and laundry room nearby. Breakfast offers a wide variety, though it wasn't entirely to my taste, and I don't recall seeing coffee. However, for tourists visiting Xinjiang, the exotic offerings are more than enough. The price for a standard room is only slightly higher than an all-season hotel in Yining, but the decor and amenities are significantly better. Overall, accommodation in Yining isn't cheap. My mother, who is in her sixties, was very happy staying here. She felt Yili Hotel was the best place she'd stayed in for days (though I personally prefer more modern and light-luxury style hotels).
