The starting point of the Sea of Death - Qiemo Welcome Hotel
Xinjiang Grand Loop Day 12, from Ruoqiang to Qiemo County, ready to start the thousand-mile crossing of the Sea of Death - Taklamakan Desert, staying at the best hotel in the county - Qiemo Welcome Hotel.
The hotel is at the intersection, a standalone building with a very spacious parking lot, convenient for self-driving travel. Opened for a year in '23, the facilities are also very new, indeed the best choice in Qiemo, and the price of just over 200 with breakfast is very reasonable. However, it's worth noting that this hotel has many guests who leave early, and the breakfast is quite simple and not replenished, so if you go after 9 o'clock, there's only the bottom of the dishes left. If you want to have breakfast, try to go early. There are a few hot dishes, porridge, steamed buns, etc., as the main food, no noodle stall, quite simple so I won't write separately.
The hotel lobby is double-height with a left and right orientation, the floor is shiny, and both the stone materials and chandeliers are quite luxurious. There are rest areas designed on both sides of the lobby, the public area is roughly equivalent to brands like Courtyard by Marriott and Holiday Inn, about 4-star level.
The room facilities are also very new, but there is a strong peculiar smell when opening the door, well, a unique ethnic scent of the Northwest, those who know, know. Changing to another room did not significantly improve it, which is actually rare in Xinjiang, so be cautious if you mind.
To the left of the entrance is a mini bar and wardrobe, to the right is the bathroom, free water from Nongfu Spring, equipped with 4 packs of domestic tea bags, luggage rack, TV cabinet, standard office desk, sofa and small coffee table by the window, all of these are nice, but the basic rooms do not come with a mini-fridge, so if you need something chilled, you can book a higher room type.
Aside from the smell, there are no problems with room cleanliness, and the shower area is also quite spacious, it's just that the toilet area is a bit cramped.
Overall, it's worth the price and is indeed the best choice in Qiemo.
