Hostels in Xinjiang, China

Very nice place in the middle of the Ancient city ! The dormitory are very clean and warm despite the winter weather outside ! The staff is very helpful and can speak English what is not very common in this area. They also allowed me to do a laundry for free. If you look for somewhere to stay in Kashgar, don’t hesitate you will love your stay here !

Great hostel to stay at for a short trip to Kashgar! It’s close enough to the Ancient City (about a half hour walk) and easy to get to both the railway station and airport by bus. The amenities here are great with good lounge areas, free laundry, place to hang laundry, and a kitchen! The bathroom situation isn’t great thought because the shower is right over a squat toilet. Also this isn’t the cleanest tidiest hostel with rubbish overflowing and and luggage strewn around the reception area. It’s not a big issue but be aware the hostel is definitely not as nice as the photos!

Seriously, which other guesthouse has both cats and dogs? Besides watching movies, you can also play games! 😁 It was an absolute blast. **Facilities:** Simply unbeatable. **Hygiene:** Very clean, no strange odors. **Environment:** Very spacious and roomy. **Service:** The owners are all very enthusiastic.

My friend recommended this place. He mentioned the location was good, and it's indeed close to Wanda Plaza, with a convenience store right downstairs. The hostel provides drinking water and disposable toothbrushes, but towels are not included. Additional drinking water is also available in the lobby. The bed in the room was genuinely large and comfortable, which was a real plus, though the bathroom was quite small. The lobby officially closes at 1 AM, but when I went there at 12:25 AM, they were already cleaning and clearing out the area. Urumqi Station is also quite close; I just walked there. I hope the management pays a bit more attention to things. On two separate occasions, other guests were eating takeout in their rooms, and the smell was quite strong. However, I don't blame the hostel for this; it's the inconsiderate guests who are at fault.

We had an amazing time in Kailash Hostel! It is pretty close to Illi Bus Terminal. It has a really nice common area with lots of details. The owner Toni is a really open and kind person! He welcomed us with open arms, made very good coffee and even invited us for breakfast. You can see that he really wants his guests to have a good time and he also connects people in the hostel. We would totally recommend staying here!

Lovely stay at Gobi Desert. The location is very central in the old district and near lots of places to eat and walk around. The staff at the hostel are super helpful - whatever I needed and they tried too help out. Can't thank them enough. The room was large, quiet and had everything I needed. thanks again!

A very satisfying stay. The people who stayed with me were of high quality. The transportation was convenient. It was right at the north gate of the ancient city of Xigu. The bus stop was also close. It was also convenient to go to the railway station via bus 28.

Really nice hostel and the owner will do his best to help you. They proposed great tours that I recommend. You have shops and restaurants around and close to the railway station, which is nice because it is the picking up point of the tours.

Clean and cozy hostel. It is located in the private sector, 15-20 minutes' walk from the bus station, where buses to Almaty depart from. It is not marked quite clearly on the map - it seemed to me that it was located on the next street. Only one guy speaks English (a little), so use a translator. If you go down a little lower (10 minutes), you will come out onto a street where there are many grocery stores and catering establishments. Of the minuses: there was no European plug near the bedside socket. In the morning it turned out that the electronic key to the locker did not work. I had to wait for someone to come to the counter and get ready in a hurry. Overall, I liked the hostel. I will probably stay here again next time.

My trip to Yining was a last-minute decision, so the accommodation booking was quite rushed. Initially, the photos looked good. Let's get straight to the pros and cons! Pros: The price was reasonable, and the location on Liuxing Street is excellent. Although there's no elevator, the front desk staff were very helpful with luggage, and since it's not many floors up, climbing wasn't strenuous. There's a large terrace upstairs, which was very convenient for drying clothes. The water heater provided quick, strong water flow. Despite facing the street, it was surprisingly quiet. Cons: The first room we were given had dirty bedsheets, and the drawers contained dust and hair. The owner attributed it to oil from a previous guest's takeout and promptly moved us to another room. It's baffling why a room, if not properly cleaned, would be offered to a new guest, regardless of the mess's origin. The bed in the new room was clean, and while there was still some dust in corners, it wasn't too bothersome. However, at night, I noticed the toilet paper dispenser was full of white powdery dust, which was quite off-putting. The guesthouse itself is quite new, and the location is excellent. However, the owner seriously needs to get on top of the cleaning!
