Scenic Hotels in Yining City

"The landlord was very welcoming, airport transfer was included, the property was great value for money, and the facilities were complete. It was only a ten-minute walk from the airport. I was very satisfied."

"It's 2 AM, and I can't sleep after writing this review in the courtyard, so I just got up and sat here. The night in Liuxing Street is so quiet, with only occasional dog barks and distant lights. The moon hangs above the apple tree. I've stayed at this hostel for three days and will be leaving tomorrow. There are some things I want to write down before I forget. First, let's talk about hygiene. I have a peculiar habit: the first thing I do when entering a room is to feel the tabletop and windowsill. And truly, it was spotless. The floor is wood-grain tile, and walking barefoot on it felt perfectly clean. The bedding was freshly changed and smelled warm, like it had been sun-dried. There wasn't a single hair on the public restroom floor, and the trash cans weren't emptied only when overflowing. What touched me most was that the cups in the wash area were placed upside down in a sterilizer cabinet, for guests to use. Yes, a sterilizer cabinet. Location: It's in an alley in Liuxing Street, but very easy to find. Turn right out of the door, and a small alley leads directly to the main street. To the left is an old residential area, perfect for aimless wandering. It's about seven or eight minutes' walk to the Alexander Accordion Museum and also to the famous ice cream shop. If you, like me, enjoy walking and exploring small alleys, this place is a paradise. There are three bus stops nearby, making it convenient to go to Kaxgar and Hanren Street. Service: The front desk staff was a girl with a ponytail, and her voice was soft. It was drizzling when I arrived on the first day, and she handed me a dry towel to wipe my hair. When I came back late at night, I found a message on the small blackboard at the entrance: 'There's yogurt in the fridge, help yourself.' I thought it was for a fee, but when I asked the next day, she smiled and said, 'It's free, we worry you might get overheated in this weather.' When I left, I forgot my power bank, and she chased me down two alleys. Facilities: The beds are incredibly stable; the bunk beds don't wobble. Each bunk has a curtain, a light, two power outlets, and a small shelf, perfect for a phone and glasses. The common area has a water dispenser (with both hot and cold water), a microwave, a refrigerator, and a toaster. There's also a washing machine that can be used by scanning a QR code. The most pleasant surprise was a small bookshelf with not many books, but a few picture books about Ali, which made me want to visit Mount Kailash as I flipped through them. Atmosphere: Unlike some hostels that deliberately force social interaction, the atmosphere here is very natural. In the evening, someone played the Dombra in the courtyard, while others just listened quietly. There was an older gentleman who had just returned from a pilgrimage, his feet still swollen, sitting on the steps drinking sweet tea, and no one disturbed him. Occasionally, people would strike up a conversation, also in soft voices. I'm sitting in the courtyard now, and the evening breeze is a little cool. The moon is bright, and I can see the shadows of the clouds. I'll probably feel a bit reluctant to leave tomorrow. But it's okay; I know I'll be back. The night of Liuxing Street, the dream of Mount Kailash, and the gentleness of this little courtyard all remind me why I'm always on the road."

"The hotel is a bit old and the facilities are a bit dated, but when I checked in, the front desk said I could contact them anytime if I had any issues. Personally, I think it's decent. First, the location is great, very close to Six-Star Street, within walking distance. The service is also excellent. When I called to arrange airport pickup, the front desk even told us it was very hot outside and to wait for the driver to arrive before heading out."

"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."

"This is a warm, clean, and conveniently located guesthouse—you can practically skip the crowds! The owners are a young couple who are incredibly hospitable. The courtyard is impeccably clean, cozy, and effortlessly inviting, making guests feel completely at ease. Staying at Banmu Xiaoshe greatly enhanced our Xinjiang trip. The bedding was comfortable, and the courtyard's location, situated between Liuxing Street and Kazan, makes it easy to get around. I highly recommend experiencing the pace of life in Yili, and if you're lucky, you might even get to try the owner's delicious cooking!"

"The location is very good, just in the Liuxing Street scenic area, and the car can drive to the parking lot very close, don't worry about taking the suitcase to walk very close, the boss transports the luggage by himself, the surrounding is very lively, the restaurant recommended by the boss is also absolutely, tired to go back to the room to rest is very convenient, the service is also very good, The sanitation is very clean, the decoration is also very comfortable in the room that was installed last year."

"I stayed in Building 2. The room was spacious but a bit old. The security chain on the door was broken, and only one of the downlights was working. The cleanliness was acceptable, though. The hotel grounds are lovely, like a park, and walking around feels a bit retro. Breakfast was decent, not a huge variety, but there were some local specialties. The security guard was great; he helped us find a parking spot and was readily available to drive us to get ice cream in the shuttle. The front desk staff during check-in were quite cold; they seemed annoyed when I simply asked what time breakfast ended. However, the person who seemed to be a manager during checkout was much more pleasant and enthusiastic."

"Good hostel, very social for chinese youth. They have nice common areas with pool, ping pong and lot of tables and seats. Beds are huge and comfy, very nice! People do stay up late so maybe don't expect a very quiet environment if you are a light sleeper. But location is close to railways station and walkable to many small stores and also a bigger supermaket. The area is beautiful, very nice for sunset and the terrace is huge and you can wash your clothes and just chill there on the top. The washing machine I think it is reserved only for the hostel, but it's ok. The staff was nice, especially the young boy who spoke good english and he was super helpful, patient. The inly thing I did not appreciate was the fact that you had to put on your bedsheets, I mean this is quite common in china, but for the price I think I should not be requiered to do this. Wifi was strong on all the floors exept the terrace and toiletries were provided. Showers were plenty, clean and nice with hit water. All in all it was a very positive experience."

"What a pleasant surprise! This short stay far exceeded my expectations. The receptionist was incredibly attentive, checking me in quickly and always with a smile, making me feel welcome from the moment I entered. The hostel's location was also very convenient, in a quiet area, so I didn't have to worry about being disturbed. The room, though small, was spotless and tidy, with comfortable bedding and impeccable hygiene; there wasn't a speck of dust on the floor even when I walked barefoot. The overall atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, perfect for someone like me who wanted a peaceful place to rest for a day or two. The staff were all very friendly, and I could tell they genuinely cared about their guests. This stay was extremely pleasant, and I highly recommend it to anyone needing a short ”recharge.” I'll definitely be back!"
