Must-stay hidden gem hotel in Xining

Stay here in Xining! Capture the plateau’s everyday charm and poetry right in your room

“The Huangshui River flows through the city at dawn, the summer capital of the plateau dons a new look” 🌟 The surprise of arriving in Xining is half from the scenery, half hidden in this hotel.

As soon as I put down my luggage, I was impressed—the newly renovated 2024 wooden style is full of texture, floor-to-ceiling windows invite the plateau’s daylight into the room, the bedding is as soft as sinking into clouds, and even the bathroom glass is so shiny it reflects. The most thoughtful touch is the hand-drawn food map at the front desk, and the sweet fermented barley drink recommended with a smile by the staff became my daily sweet lifeline.

Staying here made me understand what it means to “be amidst everyday life, yet enjoy peace of mind.” A 5-minute walk to Mojia Street to gnaw on hand-grabbed lamb ribs, then turn to Dashin Street night market for liangpi noodles, the golden roof of Dongguan Mosque shining in the dusk, all within strolling distance. After a late-night stroll, the free laundry room washes away all travel fatigue, and the 24-hour front desk lends chargers—warmth is in every detail.

Time here is three-dimensional:
It’s watching the sunlight climb the distant mountains by the window at dawn, paired with the barley cakes from the buffet breakfast;
It’s sipping butter tea in the lobby in the afternoon, listening to staff tell stories about Ta’er Monastery;
It’s falling asleep quietly at night, without a single noise from the hallway.

As a budget hotel, it hides surprises beyond expectations: powerful yet quiet air conditioning, instant WiFi connection, luggage storage, free dryers—all fully equipped. When leaving, looking at the rising smoke and lively atmosphere downstairs, I suddenly understood the meaning of “the sweet aroma of fermented barley fills the market at the alley’s end.”

Don’t waste time looking for a place to stay in Xining! This hotel, which perfectly combines location, cleanliness, and thoughtfulness, is the right way to start your plateau journey～
