The best hotel in Xining! 🏨 I used my Ctrip points to get it for just over 300 RMB, haha, what a steal! It also included breakfast for two. The breakfast spread 🍳 was extensive, with lots of choices, plus milk, eggs, and fermented rice wine available to drink.

Staying here in Xining was great; the location is super convenient, with plenty of shopping malls, restaurants, and bars nearby. It's definitely the trendiest and most vibrant spot around.
The hotel maintained the usual high standards of an Accor Sofitel. The housekeeping staff did a good job, though the front desk was a bit unremarkable.
The gym, pool, and sauna are all available, which is a plus. However, it would have been even more perfect if there was a hot tub.

I stayed at both of the top-rated hotels in Xining, and my verdict is that this one is far more comfortable. The breakfast is delicious, and the bathtub even has a TV, which the kids absolutely loved! I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Xining.

Posted on May 8, 2026
The hotel boasts an overall vintage French design, and the lobby's decor is elegant and stylish, creating a great ambiance. However, the facilities are noticeably outdated. The room interiors, appliances, and bathroom fixtures show clear signs of age and general wear, lacking proper renovation and maintenance.
The breakfast experience was quite disappointing. The selection wasn't extensive, and what really impacted the experience was that most hot dishes were lukewarm throughout, indicating very poor insulation, which significantly detracted from the taste.
On the bright side, the service deserves commendation. The front desk and concierge staff were warm, friendly, and highly responsive. They were very patient during check-in and with inquiries, showing great attention to detail. Overall, the hotel excels in service and its retro aesthetic, but there's significant room for improvement in both hardware and breakfast quality.

Overall, the room's hygiene and facilities are quite good, and the location is also very convenient. It's relatively quiet at night as well. It would be even more perfect if the smart home features and smart appliances could be upgraded. For example, upgrading to smart toilets and smart curtains would significantly enhance the guest experience.

Stayed at Xining's No. 1 hotel, and was immediately drawn to the Thangka art on the first floor. It's also the hotel for China Eastern Airlines crews. The suite had everything you could ask for, even thoughtful touches like toilet seat covers and complimentary watermelon juice. There was also a welcome fruit platter, which helps with altitude sickness. The room was spacious, and the surrounding area was lively. Highly recommend...

This is the most prestigious hotel in Xining, and getting to stay at a Sofitel for this price is incredible value for money. The Eiffel Tower replica that greets you in the lobby is quite striking, and the overall French decor is elegant and stylish. From the room window, you get an unobstructed panoramic view of the entire Xining city skyline.

It’s ok if you don’t want to sleep. Room too hot so we opened the window although it didn’t help much. Fireworks went off all night starting at 3:00am.
Extensive breakfast selection.

We extended our stay for another night. My husband developed a fever and his blood pressure rose due to altitude sickness. Early in the morning, I was going out to buy him some medicine. When I asked the front desk, the staff member was incredibly helpful and called nearby pharmacies to check if they were open. After taking emergency medication, we went straight to the hospital. Because of his fever, he was fast-tracked for an immediate consultation, as the situation was quite urgent. Thankfully, the medication worked quickly, and he improved significantly within half a day. The hotel was also very thoughtful and provided a blood pressure monitor for us to use. I'm truly grateful to everyone who helped us during this time. May good people always be safe and well.

Response from Property: Dear Guest, thank you so much for your kind review! We were very concerned to learn that your husband was experiencing altitude sickness, and it's our duty to help when you need it. Traveling at high altitudes is inherently challenging, and sudden illness can be especially worrying. Our front desk staff simply did their job, helping you contact a pharmacy and coordinate a blood pressure monitor to alleviate your discomfort. We are very relieved to see your husband's improved condition after taking the medication, and we sincerely wish him all the best for his future travels and good health. Thank you again for your trust and understanding. We wish you and your family peace, good health, and all the best. We look forward to seeing you again and providing you with an even more comfortable and reassuring stay. Guest Experience Manager Eva Liu

Booked this for my family, and they said the breakfast was the best they had on their whole trip. The room wasn't huge, but the kids absolutely loved it. They even got complimentary welcome fruits. Will definitely book again if we get the chance!

Facilities: Quite old, bathrooms are outdated. The toilet lacks flushing and automatic flushing features, typical of public restrooms. The bathtub is slippery for bubble baths; handrails on both sides would be helpful. Water splashes onto the floor, and the disposable slippers are prone to slipping. I suggest the hotel provide separate slippers for dry (carpet) and wet (bathroom) areas. This would be more effective and considerate than just a warning sign (the B area of the changing room could also be carpeted like the rooms).
I like the overall room layout with large windows, but it's very dry. I used two humidifiers and bought some flowers. The mini-bar offered some drinks, and delivery from nearby commercial areas was available. I recommend purchasing a home-style instant hot water dispenser (if there isn't a coffee machine already). Given the climate, the body needs plenty of warm water. For hand-drip coffee, 85-90 degrees is ideal, and for drinking, 45-60 degrees. An instant hot water dispenser would be more convenient than a kettle.

Response from Property: Dear Guest, Thank you for choosing to stay at our hotel and for sharing your detailed experience and valuable suggestions. We have carefully recorded and highly valued every detail you raised. The hotel has been open for 11 years and is currently undergoing phased and planned upgrades and renovations in strict accordance with five-star hotel standards and Sofitel brand specifications. We sincerely apologize for your feedback regarding the overall outdated facilities, relatively backward bathroom amenities, and the use of standard sit-down toilets without flushing or automatic flushing functions. Going forward, the hotel will gradually optimize and upgrade bathroom facilities while adhering to industry and brand standards, continuously improving hardware quality and the user experience. Regarding your concerns about the slippery bathtub, the suggestion to install handrails, water splashing during showering, and slippery disposable slippers, we will implement safety upgrades as soon as possible: installing safety handrails in the bathtub area, replacing simple safety signs with dedicated wet and dry slippers, and exploring the possibility of carpeting in changing room B to make your stay safer and more comfortable. Considering the dry climate in Xining and your need for warm water and beverages, we will carefully evaluate the upgrade plan for the guest room drinking water equipment. While meeting standards, we will optimize the drinking water configuration to ensure guests can enjoy warm water at a comfortable temperature at any time, satisfying their daily drinking and brewing needs. We will also further enhance guest room humidity control to alleviate dryness. We are very pleased that you enjoyed the room's spacious and bright windows, and thank you for recognizing the convenient surrounding commercial facilities. Your sincere suggestions are the driving force behind our continuous improvement. Thank you again for your understanding and support. We look forward to providing you with an even better and more comfortable stay as the hotel facilities are gradually upgraded. Wishing you a pleasant stay and all the best! – Guest Relations Manager, Eva Liu
