Hostels in Xinjiang, China

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! ❤️

This hostel is an amazing place in Ili. Full of sweet people, really good coffee, a kitchen to cook and a cosy reading room bathed in light. Great location, quiet but close to many restaurants and a main street. Volonteers are really friendly. They are helpful to start well your trip in China, and organized some tours in beautiful places around, Beds are wides, with curtains, light, shelf and power outlet. There is closet for each. This hostel is really clean and comfy, I certainly come back here for my next stay in Ili 🌞

The room was clean and tidied up nicely. The housekeeping staff would even open the windows for ventilation. The front desk lady provided great service and there was a good, lively atmosphere. The lobby was spacious and bright, and it was nice to see everyone sitting there chatting together.

It's great for a hostel, good design, seem like Japanese style, clean and tidy. I can't expect more about amenity for a hostel. It's also decorated for trekking guy and the host really good at this point. He spent 1 hour to help me make a plan for my coming trip.

The best hostel in the city, i did 2 hostel in this city and this one is by far the best. The room is so nice with Xinjiang carpet i love it so much. The yard is big with everything as washing machine or kitchen, and a place for rest with a cute cat and a mulberry tree with free natural mulberry. The location is so nice close to the best place in Yining. All the girls at the reception are so nice and welcoming with a very good english. When i will comeback in the city i will book again this place without hesitation. I hope to see foreigners there in the future.

Nice hostel with comfortable beds and helpful staff. Even if they do not speak English, they try their best to help. I booked a 3 days carpool Toor in the Pmir region with them, and it was a great experience. You can use the washing machine for free, which is a great perk, and also, if you need a towel, they provide it for free. Overall, it was a great experience ❤️

Had a fantastic experience! Being an all-female hostel, it was so much more comfortable and relaxed for us to chat. The owner was also lovely to talk to, and it really felt like a warm and cozy home away from home with a great sense of community. I'll definitely be back here next time I'm in Kashgar. A big plus is that it's an all-female hostel, so no unpleasant cigarette smells!

Nice quiet hostel where it is easy to relax. The bed is comfy, no gas to cook but there is hot water a microwave and a few other appliances you can use. It's a bit away from the ancient city but there are plenty of other shopping streets nearby. I left my bike outside the door because it's a very safe area. There were some very friendly people in the hostel who helped me navigate the Chinese way of doing things. It's really good value staying here, would recommend. Message them if you have difficult finding the place.

This hotel really exceeded expectations and must give a big praise! I felt full of sincerity from the beginning of the door. The front desk lady smiled very kindly. The check-in speed was super fast. She also took the initiative to introduce the hotel's facilities and the surrounding convenient information, which made people feel very warm at once. The room was even more pleasant. As soon as I opened the door, I smelled a faint fragrance and there was no smell at all. The sheets and quilts were clean as new, and they felt very comfortable. The pillows were moderately soft and hard. I didn't want to get up after sleeping for one night. The bathroom was spotless, the hot water was out in seconds, the water pressure was just right, and the toiletries were all brand goods, so you can rest assured. There is no need to pick the facilities, air conditioning, cooling and heating

The location is great. The shower and toilet at 2nd floor need to be clean regularly. Also it helps to put curtains at both the entrance/exit because when you take shower, the wind/ cold air really send shivers down your spine. Please please fix the door at 209, 211. When you want to close the door from the outside, you have to pull to shut it and the bang can wake up the whole neighborhood.
