For the majority of travelers, Karamay Guhai Airport (KRY) remains the most efficient entry point as it is the only airport located within Karamay city itself. It provides immediate access to downtown via taxi or local shuttle, making it ideal for domestic travelers prioritizing time. Other options are located in neighboring cities and should only be considered as secondary backups. Shihezi Huayuan Airport (SHF) serves the city of Shihezi; while it is a functional alternative, travelers must navigate a long ground transfer to reach Karamay, usually involving a high-speed train or a multi-hour bus ride. Similarly, Tacheng Qianquan Airport (TCG) is located in the neighboring city of Tacheng and requires a significant drive to reach Karamay. These remote options are best suited for those already planning to visit these specific nearby regions or those finding extremely limited capacity at the main Karamay airport. Always check your onward transport bookings if choosing an airport outside of Karamay.

The hotel is in a very good location with convenient transportation. The food street, leisure and shopping are nearby and can be reached in just a few minutes. There is a large parking lot downstairs. The room is spacious, bright, clean and tidy. The large floor-to-ceiling windows make it very comfortable for the sunlight to shine in. The room is well-equipped. The key point is that the curtains are smart, the switch is on the bedside, there is light music playing in the room, and you can also connect to your mobile phone via Bluetooth. After a tiring day, falling asleep listening to soothing music is so relaxing. The free tea and coffee taste great. There are free toilet seats in the bathroom, which is very considerate for me, who is a germophobe. The large floor-to-ceiling glass in the corridor is very bright. The hotel staff are warm and friendly and I feel very comfortable. Patiently introduce local food and leisure and entertainment places.FromUS$26

We stayed in a 3-person room, the room was spacious and bright, the luggage for 3 people was enough, the hotel provided breakfast, simple but hygienic. The surrounding environment is OK, quiet at night, there are few snacks, restaurants, only takeaway. Easy to travel, only more than an hour to the Devil City, a few minutes to the Oil Square.
No laundry room is more inconvenient for us on long trips, but we still stay for another day.FromUS$26

My first stop in Northern Xinjiang this New Year was the long-awaited Snow Lotus Hotel. Due to renovations in the VIP building, I stayed in the Welcome Building this time. To my surprise, the room was larger than expected, with new facilities and incredibly warm underfloor heating – so warm that I had to open the windows for ventilation at night. Overall, a nice experience. I was particularly impressed by the half-price Snow Lotus coffee at the first-floor café; it was absolutely delicious.FromUS$46

The hotel is in a good location and is easy to find on the roadside. The hotel's parking lot is also large. The service staff at the front desk of the hotel is enthusiastic, and they upgraded the room type and sent welcome food. The hotel's bedding is comfortable and the hot water is very strong. The hotel's Chinese restaurant also has roast duck, which tastes very good. The hotel's breakfast is ok, but there is no heating facility, and the food is cold, which needs to be improved. The hotel is very close to the starting point of Duku Kilometer. Next time I come to Dushanzi, I will stay in this hotel again.FromUS$39

Fantastic hotel experience overall! The room was fully equipped and well-laid-out, offering great comfort. The service was warm, attentive, and prompt. The soundproofing in the room was excellent, making it very quiet. The shower had great water pressure and stable, comfortable water temperature. Cleanliness was top-notch; every corner was spotless. I was very satisfied with my stay. They even gave a farewell gift upon check-out and promptly notified me when I left something behind. Highly recommended!FromUS$59

My stay here was absolutely perfect, a definite five-star experience that far exceeded my expectations. The two highlights that impressed me the most were the smart amenities and the incredibly thoughtful service.
The smart room system was so easy to use; I could control the curtains and air conditioning with just my voice, which was incredibly convenient. The intelligent toilet, in particular, was fully featured with a heated seat, washing and drying functions, and even deodorization – the attention to detail was very human-centered, making it both comfortable and hygienic to use. It’s clear the hotel put a lot of thought into its hardware. The room itself was spotless and new, every corner meticulously cleaned, and the spacious, airy layout made for a very comfortable stay.
But the staff's service truly set this hotel apart. Everyone was gentle and humble, making communication easy and pleasant. When I encountered a small issue, the front desk responded very quickly, and a staff member came to my room immediately to resolve it thoroughly. They were patient and meticulous throughout, with no hint of perfunctoriness. This hotel is far superior to many four-star establishments I've stayed in!FromUS$39

The decoration can also be very retro, but the first floor restaurant is very strong. The room is especially the toilet. The smell of smoke is very heavy. The air conditioner is not very hot. It can be over one night.FromUS$69

My stay was absolutely fantastic! Due to my travel schedule, I arrived at the hotel past 5 AM, but the staff were still incredibly welcoming and attentive. They even upgraded my room, which was spacious and comfortable, and provided fresh fruit. The most touching gesture was when the concierge noticed my car window was left open in the morning and promptly covered it with an umbrella to protect the interior – such thoughtful attention to detail. The hotel boasts a beautiful environment and excellent service. It was a truly satisfying stay, and I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit Urho!FromUS$94

This hotel is the best one I have stayed in. Service, hygiene, meals, etc., mainly because the temperature was very high when I checked in, but when I entered the room, I didn’t expect the boss to turn on the air conditioner 2 hours in advance. This point is particularly praise, although it is a new hotel but there is no decoration taste, bathroom, The water pressure is also very sufficient. This hotel can be said to be the best in Dushanzi. The hotel's infrastructure is very complete, meeting rooms, multi-function rooms, gyms, billiard rooms, and most importantly, tea rooms. I am very satisfied and will stay next time.FromUS$107

The hotel is conveniently located about 6 kilometers from the Ghost City. The architecture is unique and exotic, making for great photos. Breakfast is from 8:30 AM to 10:00 AM; it's best to go during off-peak times as it can get crowded. The complimentary souvenir provided by the hotel has a nice Xinjiang local flair, and the welcome fruit was delicious.FromUS$93

When checking in to this hotel, the security guard at the door took the initiative to open the door and greet us. The handsome receptionist Wang Rui at the front desk was quick and friendly. He also upgraded our room. I was so happy. The security guard helped me take my luggage to the elevator. The guest room was really clean and upscale. The smart toilet was great. The bath water was great. The water temperature was right and the water flowed smoothly. It was a five-star rating. It was a really happy day. I will come again next time and stay in this hotel again.FromUS$35

My family and I visited the beautiful 'Oil City' of Karamay for the first time, and our overall experience at this hotel was truly fantastic. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the front desk, and check-in was incredibly swift. Our room was spotlessly clean and well-equipped with all necessary amenities. The breakfast restaurant had plenty of seating, and the breakfast spread was incredibly rich and abundant, with so many choices. I wanted to try everything, but my stomach simply wasn't big enough to manage it all! The location is also incredibly convenient for exploring; Century Park and Huijia Times Shopping Center are right outside the hotel. We'll definitely choose this hotel again if we have the chance.FromUS$46
