EElena HanlanThe hotel is fine. I had one of the tiny rooms (which the site did warn me about). The room could fit a bed and a bathroom (with shower over toilet). The bedding was decent and the shower worked well enough. They provided some real towels though a bathmat for outside the room would be great so you don't track water everywhere after the shower. The drain was initially blocked by they fixed it. Has a kettle. The location is ok (you could walk just over 1km to the zoo). Not too many restaurants nearby. The window opened to a block of flats. Calling that a ”city view” is a bit cheeky. The room is also quite hot in summer, and the bed is like sleeping ok a table, though again this seems standard in Qinghai.
MMiami MitchGreat price for a nice clean hotel. Good wifi and near an area with many restaurants and tea houses.
The ladies at the desk are very friendly and, with your translator app, very helpful!
WWorld Traveler JThe hotel is located right above a night market, very convenient. The room was spacious. But other than these two things, I have very little good things to say. They never once made our beds, only took out the garbage and gave us bottled water each day. They also give the smallest rolls of toilet paper that looks like it’s a left over roll (but it’s actually how they make it there). The shower did not have any antislipping or safety handles on the wall, so one of us fell in the shower because the entire bathroom gets wet when you shower. The TV was not working either but we don’t really want to watch anything so we didn’t bother with fixing it. I would not stay here again.
RrobinmetralThe two people managing this hotel are very helpful, despite the language barrier. They went out of their way to find a laundry shop for us, and made sure we were OK with the room.
The room itself is a bit dated, but functional. The main downside for us was the lack of ”real towel” (only single use towels are provided.
For light sleepers, keep in mind that the popular night market street is just below. It can be noisy until quite late in the night.
Otherwise, the location is ideal: close to many eateries, the main mosque, and convenient transportation.
RRinvON ARRIVAL, ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE ROOM RATE FOR THE DAY IS LOWER THAN WHAT YOU BOOKED. THEN CANCEL YOUR ONLINE BOOKING. 😄 Bathroom was not quite clean and you can smell the slight unpleasant odour from the drainage. Second day, the room was not made up and water bottles not replenished. The water from the water cooler machine in the lobby was terrible and tasted like water with chemicals in it. It being September, quite cool, but the hotel would only turn on the power for the room AC in the evening, and turn off your AC main power around midnight. Fortunately it was not hot in the room from midnight to the morning. But I have never stayed at a hotel that turns off your AC power at midnight!
