Hotels in Xining Railway Station, Xining

I picked this hotel based on online recommendations. Facilities: Decent, and fairly comprehensive. However, the bathroom amenities were a bit basic – only a toothbrush and toothpaste were provided. There was no comb, shower cap, or disposable toilet seat cover. While I don't particularly mind the absence of a comb, I do think a shower cap and toilet seat cover are essential items that should be supplied. Cleanliness: Generally quite clean. Though I did notice some hair/dust when wiping surfaces with a wet wipe, it was acceptable overall. Location: Excellent, right next to the train station. Xining Station is less than a 10-minute walk away, which is incredibly convenient. It's surprisingly quiet despite being in a busy area, thanks to being on a high floor. I can only imagine how noisy the lower floors of the adjacent Quanji Hotel would be. Service: Acceptable. The laundry room setup could be improved; I'd suggest adding another dryer. Although there's no air conditioning, a small electric fan was provided, which was perfectly fine. They also have a humidifier. What's more, the room was incredibly spacious, and the generous 1.35m wide bed was a definite plus! The bedding quality was excellent, ensuring a very comfortable sleep. Free TV was also a welcome bonus. Breakfast was decent, and the yogurt was especially delicious.

Excellent location which nearby to Xining Railway Station if you plan to take train to Tibet. The reception is very polite especially the staff 皓东哥managed to help us for last minutes request. The cleanliness & breakfast are excellent, modern design, amenities is great and convenient location.

I came from Dongying and was familiar with the local Blue Sea environment. It's hard to describe what I found when I came to Xining Blue Sea. It used to be such a good hotel, but for some reasons it's incomparable to before. The hotel staff still provides services of a five-star hotel, but the hotel is probably understaffed and the facilities are really outdated. There is not even hot water all day long, and at night the hot water is a bit cold, with low water pressure, which is really bad in the winter.

The location is wonderful if you need the train, as it is literally just outside the train station, less than 10 minutes' walking from your train. We needed the day room to rest between the morning and evening trains, and it works well for us. However, there are some issues we did not like. 1. We booked and paid through Trip, but at the receipton (we checked in early, which was great!) the receiptionst requested 100 rmb, which he said was a deposit that must be paid on the spot, and will be refunded in the morning. This was suspicious to us because nothing of this sort was stated on Trip, and no other bookings in China we made through Trip ever required any deposits, even less so in cash. When I showed him the original booking and payment, and insisted that we are only taking the room for the day, he stopped insisting on the ”deposit.” 2. The room used to be very nice, indeed, and preserves some of that niceness still: the bed is wonderful, with crispy linen, multiple different pillows, and very clean. the bathroom is nicely decorated and contained basic amenities, and the storage space is wonderful and spacious. However, like in some other Chinese hotels we stayed, the indicators of maintenance are the shower and the carpeting. In this room, the bed is super clean, but the bathroom and carpeting are either poorly cleaned, or not at all. We found hair and even a wrapping in the shower, while the carpeting in the room, elevator, and corridors was not cleaned in a long time. And yet, there are some such nice touches in this room, like the living creeper placed in a small vase in the bathroom, or the very nice wardrobe. The room is currently missing a fridge (although there is space for it), and it has not AC, although the corridors are cooled well. Instead, there is a fan, which in the afternoon heat barely helped.

A welcome sight not far from where the Airport bus drops. 12 minutes walk to the main railway station - if you like steep stairs on the underpass. Convenient walk to Dogguan Mosque site, local restaurants and City Mall. Grandiose lobby (where you check in) is on the 21st floor. Many facilities on different floors, but most seemed shuttered and unavailable. Hallway and room were in excellent condition. Nice room layout and view of the city. However, shower room light would not turn off at night. Study desk was a bit wobbly. Muslim Specialty restaurant has a high end menu but the sofas are not suited for dining, I think. Hotel's free vegetarian breakfast buffet was very tasty.

I chose Park Plaza as it was convenient to both the train station and airport. The price was also excellent value for money. My train from Lhasa arrived at 6.30am and I caught a taxi the short distance to Park Plaza without issue. I checked in around 7am and was shown my room. It was beautiful, very spacious with a large window, and it also had a freestanding bath. Unfortunately I could smell cigarette smoke, which is not uncommon in Chinese hotels. I asked for a different room and was immediately shown one . This room was identical but the bed covers were a children's design and there were some toys and teepee in one corner . I simply folded the bright yellow covers down and had a lovely tasteful decor again. The bed was extremely comfy and the room was very quiet. The buffet was beyond excellent and the head chef and his small team were very friendly and attentive. Clearly they were very proud of their fabulous buffet and presentation....as they should be. It was my best in China.. I found a lovely walking trail behind the hotel beside the river, 5 mins away. The area in general was nice to wander around, very different from my stay in the centre of city when on my way to Tibet. I will most definitely choose Park Plaza when I return to Xining.

Service: The service was genuinely warm and thoughtful; I truly couldn't fault anything. The front desk even proactively offered us a complimentary room upgrade. Cleanliness: The room was immaculately clean, tidy, and had no unpleasant odors. Facilities: I was impressed by the wet/dry separation in the bathroom. The washbasin was conveniently located right by the entrance, and to my pleasant surprise, hand soap was provided – a very practical touch. The shower and toilet being separate was also a fantastic design choice! The only issue was that the room felt quite stuffy and warm. We visited Xining at the end of July, and the room caught a lot of sun in the afternoon. The heat seemed to linger even into the night, and despite opening the windows, it remained warm. On the bright side, our laundry dried incredibly quickly! Location: The hotel's location is convenient. There's a convenience store immediately to the left of the entrance, perfect for grabbing supplies. Getting to the hotel from the airport was easy: take the shuttle bus to the train station (approx. 35 minutes), which drops you off near a bus stop. From there, take bus 106 for two stops, and you'll spot the hotel sign right across the street.

Haiyou Hotel is truly a hidden gem among budget hotels! The price is affordable, but the experience is incredibly good value. The room was clean and tidy, and the bedding was comfortable – it completely exceeded my expectations. For travelers on a budget who still want quality, this is definitely a top choice! The front desk staff was so warm and helpful! She proactively upgraded my room and even provided detailed information on local eateries and transportation routes. Any requests I had during my stay were addressed incredibly quickly, making me feel right at home.

The hotel front desk at Xining Railway Station is very welcoming, the location for taxis is convenient, the rooms are clean, tidy, warm and comfortable. I stayed at Hello Hotel in Chongqing before and had a good experience, so I chose Hello Hotel again. The experience of this trip to Xining is still very good👍

This time I chose the James Joyce Coffetel in Xining, and it was absolutely fantastic! The moment I stepped into the lobby, the aroma of coffee filled the air, and I instantly felt relaxed. The room was clean and cozy, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and there were even complimentary pour-over coffee bags. Brewing a cup and slowly savoring it was incredibly delightful. The hotel's location is also very convenient, with easy access to dining and transportation. The front desk service was warm and attentive – my impression couldn't be better!
