Hotels near Gonghe Station in Xining

Pros: 1) Location right beside train station and bus station. 2) Many eateries around the hotel 3) Room is clean and spacious Cons: 1) No aircon. I know it is cool during summer in Xining as well but i think it is a basic requirement for aircon in a hotel. A fan is provided but i think it is not a welcome sight for a hotel with a fan.

A very nice hotel, just next to Xining Station. It is very convenient to check in when traveling. I have to say that the hotel service is very good. Zhuoma and Xiaoma at the front desk gave a bottle of hot mineral water after check-in. It was so considerate, despite the weather. It was very cold, and it stopped being cold all of a sudden. It must be praised! The breakfast coupon was given in the morning and the souvenir was given after the invoice was issued after leaving the hotel. It was a very pleasant stay.

My daughter and I were stuck in Xining an extra night due to the typhoon in Shanghai and our flight being changed so we decided to treat ourselves by staying at Sofitel. It was well worth the treat. We stayed in a club-level room and everything was excellent. Because it was my birthday the hotel even brought a small cake to our room, which was delicious! We will definitely stay at Sofitel again when we are back in Xining.

I will start off by saying that the room and bathroom were well appointed, the staff were friendly and helpful and breakfast was delicious. However, whilst the room was generally clean, when I dropped something that subsequently rolled under a fitted unit, I was pretty disgusted to see the dust and filth beneath it. It clearly had not been cleaned for…well…ever? I appreciate that these areas will not be as clean as the more visible parts of the room, however for a five star hotel, this is unacceptable. I do not expect to find dirty tissues and a thick layer of dust and dirt anywhere in my hotel room. But by far the absolute worst part of my stay was the inability to control the temperature in the room whatsoever. The room was so swelteringly hot that despite the comfortable bed, and everything to go with it, I was almost unable to sleep at all. I do not expect this in a five star hotel(and have never experienced it other than here and at anther Wanda hotel in Hohhot), I pay for luxury; controlling the room temperature is a basic requirement that I can even do in a 50 yuan a night hostel dorm. When I asked the staff at reception the following morning I was told the AC wouldn’t be available until after April 15th because ‘it’s cold outside’. Firstly, I am not sleeping outside, I am sleeping inside, on the 22nd floor, where it is anything but cold. Not to mention it was April, not January, even in Xining it is not that cold. Secondly, as a paying guest, in a five star hotel, it should be up to me to decide if it is hot or cold, not the hotel. For this reason, as lovely as the room, staff and breakfast may have been, I would not stay here again. I checked out and moved to the lower rated Hilton, where I could control the room temperature and actually managed to sleep…generally what the whole point of a hotel is.

The hotel is really nice and the breakfast is good and they have a small gym and laundry self service. They also offer free parking

I’ve always enjoyed my stays in Mercure hotels, as they are typically very clean, affordable, and well-located. This hotel fits their brand image. The hotel is situated in the middle of many convenience stores and restaurants, making it very convenient to find a meal or anything you may want. The lavender decor creates a nice ambiance. Hotel staff at the front desk were polite and efficient, getting our check in finished without any hassles. The room was spacious and very clean, with all the amenities needed. The Japanese toilet is a nice touch. The bed was comfortable and made for a restful sleep. There was one problem with the room. The air conditioning did not work. The room sat at 25 degrees the whole time, despite setting the thermostat at 21. The room temperature was a bit stifling so we had to keep the window open, which allowed a lot of traffic noise in. Overall, it was a lovely stay and I would recommend the hotel.

After all, it is a veteran hotel, the location, hotel facilities and services are nothing to say, the breakfast is also very rich, and there are pizzas that kids love. If you don't want to have breakfast at the hotel, there are many small restaurants in Jia Xiaoxiang next to the hotel. We had lunch and breakfast there. Both restaurants tasted good. Parking is also very convenient, you can park directly at the door of the hotel, and there is also a scheduled shuttle bus to the airport, which is particularly convenient for travel. The hotel is not far from the Xining TV Tower, so you can take some night scenes when you have time at night. There is also a free park next to the hotel, called Qilin Bay Park. The scenery is quite unique, a bit of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Upgraded the room for free at the store, the big one is a bit outrageous! Atour is as good as ever, the bed is very comfortable, the supporting facilities are perfect, the most exaggerated is a large library across multiple floors, there are many books suitable for children to read. There is a business district around, eating is completely OK. Health needs to be improved, the room decoration project is a bit sloppy, many places have not been wiped with seam fillers, and there is still some dust on the ground and long hair left by others. I will definitely choose Atour next time, the bed is too comfortable.

We were impressed by the front desk staff n grateful for Celine the manager. She helped us to get transport to go to Qinghai lake. She was able to speak English and make communication easier for us. We had a wonderful and memorable time in Xining. We hope to come back again.

I only spent a fast night. It was great that they have 24h reception and that they accepted foreigners (other hotels said not because I was a foreigner and COVID fear... Very simple but all you need. I got a room facing the road so Iit was a bit noisy with cars and pedestrians.
