Yining City Hotels with Balcony

There's a decent amount of parking space in front (including charging stations). The staff, both inside and out, were very welcoming and enthusiastic. They promptly replied and arranged a shuttle to the airport the next day even when booked late at night (huge thanks! 🙏). The business van got us to the airport in 15 minutes, and the staff genuinely shared insights about traveling in Xinjiang. Currently, the navigation is inaccurate due to road construction in the alley, so expect some minor traffic jams. The breakfast was a bit disappointing. Compared to corn served elsewhere, theirs was a bit stiff. Given there weren't many guests, I'd have preferred a freshly fried egg, made to order, to make it more refined (what they served was a slightly overcooked egg that had been sitting out; I don't like those stiff eggs that have been left for a while). The hand-pulled rice restaurant just across the road was excellent. After I added them on WeChat, the customer service proactively sent guests a summary of nearby recommended eateries, which was very helpful. After finishing the hand-pulled rice, there's a newly opened local specialty store at the intersection that offers great value for money – much better than the specialty shops on Liuxing Street! The room decor was very cozy and satisfying, and the lighting was good. The air conditioning was especially quiet (and the cooling effect was impressive). At night, the room windows faced the garden, though there was a bit of noise from a few guests playing cards and drinking. The complimentary snacks in each room were quite generous and were also Xinjiang specialties sold at the front desk. Finally, thanks for the souvenir gift (very thoughtful, a fridge magnet and a lavender sachet). A small suggestion: your excellence is evident, but minor flaws are inevitable. While maintaining enthusiastic and efficient service, please also keep a calm mindset (don't constantly remind guests to give a five-star rating). If everyone gives five stars because of this, then the reviews lose their comparative value, right? Lastly, I hope the hotel continues to thrive. Its quiet yet central location and cozy rooms are truly wonderful!

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!

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 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!

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 felt at home staying here. The host and hostess were very kind, and checking in at midnight was no problem at all. The place was clean and new, and they even gave us free fruit and noodles. They also offered us a free ride to the airport. The service was absolutely excellent!

Our stay at Yining Yili Hotel was fantastic! The hotel, formerly a Russian consulate, boasts towering ancient trees and a tranquil lake, creating a natural oxygen bar. Strolling along the 1.3 km boardwalk, we even spotted little squirrels, which was incredibly soothing. We booked a multi-room suite in Building 6, which was spacious and comfortable – perfect for a family trip. The biggest surprise was finding a ”Gulandam” ice cream shop right in the courtyard, letting us completely avoid the long queues at Liuxing Street! The staff were warm and friendly, and check-in was very efficient. Breakfast offered not only a Chinese buffet but also Kazakh specialty dishes. The hotel's location is superb, just a 10-minute walk to the Kazanqi Folk Tourism Area, and parking for self-drivers is also very convenient. Highly recommend!

Traveling solo, I stayed for three nights and found the place to be quite clean. It's not far from Six-Star Street, which is a convenient walk. For Kazanqi, you'll need a taxi, and Sayram Lake is about 150km away by car. The front desk staff were all very helpful and friendly. A big thanks to them for helping me send a package (I couldn't fit it all in my luggage for the flight). P.S. There's a minced meat noodles shop near the hotel that is absolutely delicious, haha~
