Inns in Xinjiang, China

Staying at Gui Lai Inn felt just like coming home. Last night, when I first arrived, I couldn't find the parking lot. The landlady personally came to pick me up and helped me park the car. She then enthusiastically introduced the attractions of the ancient city and gave me details on the city gate opening ceremony for the next day, including the time and location. Today, I was running late to check out, and the landlady kindly extended my check-out time until 2 PM, which really made me feel like family. Friends visiting Kashgar, Gui Lai Inn is definitely your top choice!

This hidden gem, a cabin campsite right by Sayram Lake, exceeded all my expectations! The wooden cabins are clean and tidy, and the combination of the wooden structure and thatched roof creates a wonderful grassland vibe. The rooms are fully equipped, and stepping out, you're greeted by vast grasslands, distant rolling hills, and the stunning blue waters of Sayram Lake, just a short walk away. A wooden boardwalk connects the entire camp, offering panoramic views of the wilderness, lake, and distant mountains. The evening scenery is beautifully serene and truly therapeutic. Away from the city bustle, staying here offers an immersive experience of Xinjiang's expansive landscapes. It's incredibly convenient for exploring the lake and mountains. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for lakeside accommodation! ✨

The hygiene is excellent, and the owner is very warm and friendly. This is my second time visiting Yining, and the people here are genuinely wonderful. The hotel has a washing machine for laundry, and the staff even provided laundry detergent and hangers. The location is easy to find, right at the intersection of the main road in Liuxing Street.

A group of us went to Nalati and found this hotel. It was really nice. As soon as we entered the yard, we felt it was clean and tidy. There were flowers and vegetables grown by the owner himself. The room was also very bright and very clean. In the afternoon, the owner personally prepared afternoon tea for us. In the evening, we were hungry and ordered a few dishes of his stir-fried dishes. The taste was also very good and authentic. Overall, I felt that it was good value for money. I strongly recommend this restaurant. Next time I come with friends, I will stay here again 😁😁😁

I arrived at 11 PM, and it was impossible to get a taxi. By the time I finally got one, it was almost midnight, and I reached the hotel past 12:30 AM. The staff member (little brother, as we say in China) was still waiting for me and came out to greet me. It was during the Eid al-Adha holiday, so there weren't many people around, which made his wait even more dedicated. He waited for me and then went home. The owner even upgraded my room. The moment I walked in, it was stunning – even at night, you could feel the exotic charm. Funnily enough, the wardrobe door led to the bathroom in the larger room, which was a nice surprise. Overall, it felt very retro and impressive. And it was super safe; I even went out on my first day without locking the door and nothing happened. The owner was also out enjoying the holidays, so it felt like I had the whole big villa to myself these past few days! Many people come here just to take photos. If there were more guests and the owner was around, I'm sure it would be even more fun with lots of activities. After all, such a beautiful house must be cared for by someone truly dedicated. I hope to stay here again next time. My only regret is that I was alone and no one was there to take good photos of me, but I still managed to get some great shots!

Stumbled upon a real gem in Kashgar! This guesthouse has an unbeatable location, making it super convenient to explore the Old City. A huge shout-out to the owner, who was incredibly generous and upgraded our room for free – such a genuine gesture. The rooms are spotless and full of character. The rooftop terrace on the third floor is a highlight; it's got such a great vibe, perfect for enjoying the Old City's night views or just relaxing before heading out during the day. Definitely worth booking if you're coming to Kashgar!

I am confused how they got so many good reviews after staying here. First, they said offer they tickets to get into Grape Valley and it ended up no tickets are needed. Second, we went out for dinner, restaurants on the right side of the hotel, as the hotel suggested, are 3X more expensive than the normal price. Third, a worker at our hotel offered to drive us to a restaurant but we declined. Later, we found out that he was trying to take us to an overpriced restaurant with no customers. I guess he was looking for a commission from that restaurant. Fourth, we asked one lady in the touristy area, how far is the night market and she said 25 km, we checked on line it was only 7 km away. Even though the room itself was fine, I would advise against staying here or in Grape Valley altogether. Although a visit here for 1 or 2 hours is fine.

Really attentive and friendly staff in a welcomg environment made for a great stay. The Wifi didnt really work, but aside from this, everything was great. Sometimes the hostel was busy and sometimes it was quiet. Upon arriving their was a fellow traveller from Belgium and some Spanish and British before him. The interior design is fun and quirky and they have three cute cats and a small outside smoking area. I opted for the six bed dorm which was empty for 5 of the eight nights I stayed. Each bed has a fan, curtains, a small cupboard and shelf and an outlet. They have a fridge too and drinking water. For ski season it would appear they have skis and equiptment to rent too. Overall everything was great and I recommend going to the nearby farmers market around 5pm to get freshly baked 3 Yuan somsas :)

This was a lovely accommodation located a 10min drive away from the Nalati Scenic Area. The hosts were extremely hospitable and took great care of us during our stay. They offered to send us to and from the scenic area for free and made exploring Nalati so much more convenient. They also went out of their way to cook dinner for us and arrange transportation to our next destination for us, which was a great help! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with a little garden right outside. There was also a nice river about a 5 min walk from the hotel which was nice to take a stroll by. Overall I really recommend Tianjiang Inn if you are visiting Nalati!
