Guest UserThis hotel offers incredible value for money! The room was spotless, with plenty of hot water and a comfy bed. The front desk staff were very friendly, and there's a snack street right downstairs. It's also super close to all the attractions, and the soundproofing was great, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. Definitely my top choice for accommodation when traveling.

TeobisataWe stayed at Lotus Hotel for two nights and overall had a very enjoyable experience. The biggest highlight is definitely the location. The hotel is set in the middle of the desert, making it a unique and memorable destination. Reaching the resort is part of the adventure: you first take a cable car, then transfer to a jeep shuttle that brings you directly to the hotel. The hotel staff can transport your luggage for you, although it may take up to two hours before it arrives in your room.
The reception area is warm and welcoming. The staff explain how the resort is organized and help guests understand the various facilities. Since the property is very large, transportation within the resort is well organized. The guest rooms are spread across different rings, and in the lower ring you can call a small train that picks you up and takes you directly to your room, which is very convenient given the long walking distances. The same service is available when returning.
The hotel offers plenty of facilities for both adults and children. Near the entrance there is a buffet area, while the ground floor features several recreational spaces, including an ice-skating rink, game rooms with billiards, archery, and other activities. Outside, there is a large shaded sand play area for children with staff members available to supervise and entertain them. Throughout the resort there are also shuttle trains that can pick you up if you prefer not to walk.
In the evening there are live entertainment shows, and the atmosphere is wonderful. The main dining hall is spacious, the food is good, and everything is included. There is also a hot pot restaurant on the first floor if you want an alternative dining experience.
One of the most beautiful parts of the stay is the outdoor entertainment park at night. Guests walk through the desert on a beautifully illuminated wooden walkway while enjoying performances, shows, balloons, and activities for children. The evening temperatures are very pleasant, especially during summer, making it a fantastic experience.
The exterior entertainment park includes many complimentary activities, such as VIP camel riding, guided off-road rides, zip lines, and a water park. Transportation between the hotel and the park is free and very efficient, with buses, themed boats, small trains, and other fun vehicles.
You can easily spend one or even two days here. Most of the main activities can be experienced in one day, but there is enough to keep you entertained longer.
The staff are always friendly and eager to help, and there are many employees throughout the resort. However, most of them are very young and sometimes lack experience, resulting in avoidable mistakes. Additional training would certainly improve the overall service. Another significant drawback is the language barrier. Very few staff members speak English, and during our two-night stay we found only one person who could communicate sufficiently.
The room itself is simple and quite small, but that's not really the focus of this type of resort since you'll spend most of your time enjoying the activities outside. If you're looking to relax in your room, this may not be the ideal place.
The bathroom definitely needs renovation. The shower was disappointing, and when we entered the room there was an unpleasant pee smell that suggested cleaning standards could be improved. Overall, the room was acceptable, but for the price I expected better housekeeping and maintenance.
Despite these shortcomings, the incredible location, the wide variety of activities, and the overall experience make Lotus Hotel a destination worth visiting. I would definitely come back, probably for one night rather than two, simply because most attractions can be enjoyed in a full day. Overall, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique desert resort experience.

Guest UserThis is my third time staying at this hotel, and it keeps getting better. My experience truly exceeded expectations! The hotel's location is super convenient, making it easy to get around and go shopping. The room was clean and tidy, and the bedding was so soft I slept incredibly well. The bathroom was spotless, with a separate wet and dry area, and no unpleasant smells. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, check-in was fast, and they were quick to respond to any requests. The public areas were clean and quiet. I have to praise the breakfast—it had a great variety and tasted delicious. Overall, it's excellent value for money. The entire environment is cozy and comfortable, and the facilities are well-maintained. I'll definitely choose this hotel again on my next visit. Highly recommend it to anyone traveling!

YiranzileThis hotel is definitely worth staying at. The front desk staff are professional, warm, and attentive. The rooms are large, clean, and tidy with expansive views where you can see the Chilechuan Grassland and horse racing. You can enjoy the grassland until 8 or 9 PM, and the night view is beautiful. The 'Eternal Horse Song' show is just a three-minute walk away. Breakfast includes local specialties like lamb offal soup and milk tea. The Chilechuan Grassland is right downstairs, making it perfect for photos. The hotel even provided welcome fruit, and watching the horse racing from the balcony was absolutely fantastic!

Guest UserTaking advantage of the May Day holiday, I spontaneously embarked on a trip without much planning, intending to decide things as I went along. My classmate's mother recommended this hotel. To find a 5-star guesthouse-level hotel at this price during May Day was truly exceptional value for money. The hotel environment is excellent; although some areas were undergoing renovation, it didn't detract from the overall guest experience. The front office manager was incredibly welcoming, asking about our travel plans and offering genuine advice, such as visiting Dazhao Temple in the evening and reminding us about the significant temperature difference between day and night, suggesting we dress warmly. On my second day, I had originally planned to go to Chilechuan and then the desert, but she advised me to visit the desert first and then Chilechuan if time permitted. I readily took her advice, and the trip turned out to be perfect. The hotel's breakfast was fantastic and highly recommended. I look forward to staying here again during the summer holidays!

Guest UserSheyi Tea Culture hotel was an amazing stay, definitely a must stay if visiting Hohhot!
Food & Drink 🫖
This hotel is also a tea house and it is a tea drinker’s dream! First the room a booked came with my own tea brewing equipment and a tea brewing table with an excellent view and comfortable seats! But that is just the beginning, as you head down to the main floor a fully stocked, beautiful tea house & cafe awaits you. Daily tea and even delicious milk tea is always available. Private table sets and outdoor seating is available too. The tea masters are skilled and attentive, which made all my tea drinking experiences fun and enjoyable! You can also purchase various tea and tea ware right in the tea house.
Location 📍
This hotel is perfectly located close to the near by Ancient Street, with many close by temples and shrines to visit. A craft street is close by and available all day, while a famous local food street opens up for colourful night time snacking in the evening. Many close by restaurants offering authentic local cuisine, I recommend reading the hotel’s recommendations as they were always great. If you need even more tea experience, there is a nearby tea wholesale market and many high end tea house in the area as well.
The Room 🛌
The room I stayed in had lots of space, was very clean and had everything you could need to feel comfortable. Daily bathroom necessities are provided. High quality bedding, robes and slippers are waiting for you. High end bathroom equipment is installed, with hot water always available. Premium television is set up and Wifi connection always had high speeds. A beautiful kettle and tea set can be used to make tea with daily water and a welcome tea package provided.
Staff 👩⚕️
The staff were very king and helpful right from check in. Actually even before check in they were helping bring my luggage inside! They were patient with communication as I was a foreign visitor. They answered any and all questions I had. They recommended great tea and amazing restaurants! The staff were always available and always smiling! Such great people really made my stay a dream.
This was probably the nicest hotel I have stayed in and I definitely would recommend it to anyone visiting Hohhot! I will be back again for sure.

kimheesunzhangThis was my first time staying in a family room, and as soon as I walked in, I felt the layout was very convenient. The front desk lady checked me in quickly and gave clear directions when I asked how to get around. It was also easy to get a taxi from here or go to the East Station 🙂
The room was comfortable to stay in. The bedding was neatly made, felt very soft to the touch, and both the pillows and duvet were clean and dry. I slept really well at night, and the soundproofing was good too; outside noises barely bothered me at all 😌
The gym was a pleasant surprise. It was clean and bright, and the equipment was sufficient for a daily workout. It was very convenient to go and get some exercise after a long journey, and it didn't feel stuffy in there 🏋️
The breakfast variety was richer than I expected, with both hot and cold options, all tasty. Overall, my stay was very hassle-free, suitable for family trips or an overnight stopover 😊

DamaomaomaomaochongThe location is fantastic, very close to all the nearby attractions, and within walking distance. It's right next to 'Shaomai Street' and Jokhang Temple. The front desk staff are all really welcoming and helpful, and the self-service coffee is a nice touch! They even gave our child a breakfast voucher. 😊😊 I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time.

Guest UserThe hotel is in a good location, just over 10 minutes' walk to Wanda, with many choices for food. Downstairs is the hotel's own parking lot 🅿, which is convenient for parking. The facilities of a newly opened hotel are relatively new, and there is almost no taste. There are many varieties of breakfast. The yam, sweet potato, and corn that I like are all gathered together. I can't eat too much. I cooked wontons and cooked half a portion. The kitchen lady also kindly told me how many half portions there were and asked if it was enough. ~ Good reviews ~ The laundry room is open all day without limit. The overall stay was not bad. I will book again next time
