2-Star Hotels in Xinjiang, China

The bed was clean and comfortable, but there was no air conditioning or electric blanket, so it felt quite cold. The bathroom was dry and very clean. The host was super friendly and even helped me fix my glasses when they broke. Highly recommended for solo travellers.

A generally smooth stay with a helpful front desk staff, though the airport transfer set the tone with an unexpected hour‑long wait between calling the hotel and the bus finally departing; fortunately, this only created a small dent in what was otherwise reliable and good service. A simple suggestion: if delays are likely, being upfront about it would be appreciated, as many guests are more than happy to arrange their own transport and pay for it themselves.

Five stars | Kangrinboqe Youth Hostel (Liuxing Street Store) – Practical, comfortable, and no gimmicks Trust me, if you're coming to Yining and staying in Liuxing Street, choose Kangrinboqe. No exaggeration, you'll understand what 'value' means once you've stayed here. 📍Location It's right in Liuxing Street; just follow your navigation. Step outside and you're surrounded by all sorts of food, drinks, and shops – super convenient. Walking back at night, the street isn't dark or isolated, so even if you're alone, you feel safe. The best part is – it's quiet, so you can really get a good night's sleep. 🛏️Facilities The beds are sturdy; no creaks or wobbles when you turn over, which is super important for guys. Each bed has a curtain, a light, and power outlets, so you can charge your phone, play games, or watch videos without disturbing anyone. The cafe is good; the black coffee is strong enough. It’s a great spot to browse your phone, edit photos, or just zone out. The kitchen is available and well-equipped with pots, pans, and everything you need. If you want to save money and cook some noodles or reheat food, it's no problem. Reading room? Yes. The sofas are comfy. There aren't many books, but a few are worth reading. If you're tired, you can just sprawl out there for a bit, and no one will bother you. 🧼Cleanliness I have to say – it's clean. The bathroom has no strange smells or limescale, and the drain isn't clogged. The bed sheets are white, with no stains or hair. Guys might not be as particular, but the cleanliness here will make you think, 'Wow, this money was well spent.' 💬Service The front desk staff, both guys and girls, are efficient and don't waste time. They answer all your questions and check you in quickly. Sometimes in the evenings, they organize communal dinners or casual drinks and chats. If you feel like joining in, you can; if not, no one forces you. This kind of service, without awkwardness or annoyance, is truly comfortable. 🔥Overall Impression Coming here alone, it doesn't feel awkward; coming with friends, you can still have a good time. They don't go for those trendy, 'influencer' gimmicks; it's simply a hostel that understands what 'staying' truly means. Next time I'm in Yining, I'll definitely stay here again. No more words needed, five stars.

I don't recommend staying in a capsule room. There are usually more men in mixed-gender rooms, and smoking and drinking are the norm. Most Uyghur **zang smoke. If there are any issues, the Han Chinese owner will just tell them off, but won't change rooms. He'll just make excuses, saying there aren't enough women staying in capsule rooms, and I can't leave the room empty. If you don't care about female customers, why mix genders? 😂 What does it have to do with me whether you have a room available or not? My stay was terrible. I couldn't get a room with more women, no smoke, and a quieter room. The beautiful Uyghur front desk clerk said I checked in at noon and couldn't change. It was hilarious. There weren't any Uyghur guys drinking, smoking, or singing shirtless at noon. 😂 If you want good service, don't consider this place.

This hostel in Yining is a hidden gem! With a balcony room and heartwarming service, I could stay for ten days and still not want to leave. I stayed at Backpackers 10 Years Hostel, right by Yining Railway Station, for almost ten days, and the experience was incredible! I have to recommend my favorite room – it comes with a small balcony. In the mornings, I'd curl up in a chair, soaking in the sun and reading. In the afternoons, I'd simply relax in the warm light. It was so gentle and therapeutic, making for an incredibly relaxing stay. The hostel environment also exceeded my expectations: the rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean. The ground floor common area was fully equipped with billiards, table tennis, and a reading nook, making leisure and entertainment super convenient. What touched me the most was the human touch! I sprained my ankle hiking (unrelated to the hostel), and the front desk, owner, and customer service staff were all incredibly kind. They actively checked in on me, brought hot water, and even gave me safflower oil. The hostel's dog also quietly stayed by my side. The kindness I received in a foreign land was truly moving. The location is close to the train station, making travel convenient. The cleanliness, service, and value for money were all top-notch. This place doesn't feel like a hostel; it's more like a warm little harbor. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Yining! Highly recommended! ❤️

After asking the cleaning lady about the best local fruits, we set off. The receptionist even gave us two bottles of water! Xinjiang is amazing! (I'll be going to Northern Xinjiang in two years.)

The location is good; there are many restaurants to the right after you go downstairs. Transportation is convenient; there's an airport shuttle bus right downstairs. The room is clean and hygienic, with unique decor and relatively complete facilities. The only drawback is that the TV doesn't have internet settings enabled, so you can't cast your favorite content and programs. This seems to be a common problem with hotels in Korla; I've stayed at several hotels in Korla this year, and none of them seem to have screen casting functionality.

Environment: Nice environment and atmosphere. I met some new friends here. The owner is also very friendly and enthusiastic. He introduced the surrounding environment. Facilities: Washing machine and kitchen are available, which is convenient for drying clothes. Service: The service is also good. When it's time for dinner, the owner will prepare the meal and invite us to eat together. I really felt the strong atmosphere of the youth hostel! Location: In the scenic area, far from the city center

Good hotel, nice views out of a dirty window. But what really bother me, they told me my room was ”booked” and they put me in a lower room type without any compensation. So yeha ... thats why I reduce points. Also really far from any city center, if you plan stay longer, find another hotel.
