2-Star Hotels in Urumqi

On the last day of my trip to Xinjiang, I came to Urumqi. Just like last time, I visited Xinjiang Museum and International Grand Bazaar. This store is located on the busy Beijing South Road. It has a good location. There is a shopping mall nearby and there are many people.

Everything at this place is inspiring and catchy, in one way or another. Comfortably furnished, with a clean common space that has a nice bookshelf, a reading area, dining table and a soft furry couch. If there is one thing visible through the layout of this inn, it is that they take living with art with gusto, and this is an advantage for artsy guests. To top it all off, cat lovers would actually appreciate this place due to its feline thematics and the mascot cat Hanhan. For its price, it is a wonderful place for a stay in Urumqi.

The room offers a nice view of the Urumqi Railway Station, and having a washer inside the room was very convenient. The hotel is clean and the housekeeping lady is lovely and very professional, meeting standards that foreign guests will appreciate. However, the hotel is quite far from the city center, and although there is a bus stop nearby, only one bus line passes through and it’s often unreliable. My main suggestion is for the reception staff to improve professionalism. Guests should feel welcomed upon arrival, not judged or asked unnecessary personal questions and be seen looking about my country on her phone while I wait for her to check me in. In comparison with other hotels I’ve stayed at in Urumqi, the reception service here could be more respectful and professional.

I was really satisfied with my stay this time. The room was clean, well-ventilated, and the bathroom facilities were very convenient, making it perfect for students and working professionals. The front desk staff were also incredibly friendly. There are plenty of food options nearby; I tried 'Cute Xinjiang' and the food was delicious with a unique ethnic atmosphere. I'm so happy I found such a clean, hygienic, and welcoming hostel. I'll definitely choose this place again when I come back to Urumqi. I hope Xiaobo (the hostel) continues to improve!

Hotel was good with a lot of positives. Only negative which I found towel was not clean . There was one red spot there which I don’t know what was that. Hotel is on 25th floor in a commercial building I guess , which I somehow not that easy to locate specially for foreigners.

”Hearing my mother describe her stay over the phone finally put my mind at ease. 'The owner was incredibly welcoming; he insisted on rebooking for us because the system rates had dropped'—in this unfamiliar city, such kindness was like a warm cup of tea on a cold night. The guilt I felt as their child for not being able to accompany them to their medical appointment was quietly dispelled by your professionalism and thoughtfulness. Medical travel is arduous, but meeting an operator like you makes us believe that the warmth of integrity can penetrate even the most concrete jungle. I've already shared the hotel information with my fellow patients' group, hoping more people can experience this invaluable hospitality.”

The service is very good and thoughtful. The facilities are complete and the hygiene is very good. The hotel is very close to the attractions. In short, it is a very comfortable trip. I will come again next time if I have the chance.

I always stay here when I come here because it's convenient for eating, getting taxis, and parking, and it's not far from the high-speed rail station! Most importantly, the price is affordable and the environment is nice! Highly recommended! [Strong][Strong][Strong]

The hotel is very close to the airport and offers a private shuttle service. This was my first time staying in a capsule hotel, and it was a surprisingly good experience. The capsule itself offered great privacy, good ventilation, and various lighting options. It was clean, comfortable, and very budget-friendly. The front desk staff were also very welcoming!

Hostel is about 5 - 7 minutes away from the ”Sports Centre” metro station, which is about 25+ minutes from the airport. The hostel entrance is next to the Tesla shop, and you have to press the buzzer, for the security guard to open the gate for you. Then, after writing your name down in the guest-book, you go up to the 10th floor in the lift. (Check the other reviews here, for a picture of the gate/door to the building) The staff speak little to no English, but they are very helpful. They will try to solve your issues, as long as you patient with the translation software. Also, it is difficult for staff to check you in, if you do not have a contact number or Alipay/Wechat contact. (This is a CN Govt requirement) The dorm rooms are basic and you may get the city views. There are no privacy curtains and there was no air-con, in my one. The hostel staff can provide fans, but we did not need any, as it was still cool at night. The beds are OK. There is a bathroom in the dorm room too, but there was almost no privacy for the bathroom, as there was a gap between the door for others to see and you can see through the frosted glass into the bathroom too! The hostel is relatively clean, quiet and well-located, except there may be other local guests, who are loud and smoke sometimes in the other rooms. Next to the hostel is a nice up-market shopping centre and with really lots to eat, in the food-court on the 3rd floor.
