2-Star Hotels in Xinjiang, China

A very comfortable hostel with convenient toiletries, a comfortable temperature, and the owner even provided free oxygen. The facilities were complete, the place was clean, the environment was pleasant, and the service was top-notch. I would definitely come back next time.

A generally smooth stay with a helpful front desk staff, though the airport transfer set the tone with an unexpected hour‑long wait between calling the hotel and the bus finally departing; fortunately, this only created a small dent in what was otherwise reliable and good service. A simple suggestion: if delays are likely, being upfront about it would be appreciated, as many guests are more than happy to arrange their own transport and pay for it themselves.

Five stars | Kangrinboqe Youth Hostel (Liuxing Street Store) – Practical, comfortable, and no gimmicks Trust me, if you're coming to Yining and staying in Liuxing Street, choose Kangrinboqe. No exaggeration, you'll understand what 'value' means once you've stayed here. 📍Location It's right in Liuxing Street; just follow your navigation. Step outside and you're surrounded by all sorts of food, drinks, and shops – super convenient. Walking back at night, the street isn't dark or isolated, so even if you're alone, you feel safe. The best part is – it's quiet, so you can really get a good night's sleep. 🛏️Facilities The beds are sturdy; no creaks or wobbles when you turn over, which is super important for guys. Each bed has a curtain, a light, and power outlets, so you can charge your phone, play games, or watch videos without disturbing anyone. The cafe is good; the black coffee is strong enough. It’s a great spot to browse your phone, edit photos, or just zone out. The kitchen is available and well-equipped with pots, pans, and everything you need. If you want to save money and cook some noodles or reheat food, it's no problem. Reading room? Yes. The sofas are comfy. There aren't many books, but a few are worth reading. If you're tired, you can just sprawl out there for a bit, and no one will bother you. 🧼Cleanliness I have to say – it's clean. The bathroom has no strange smells or limescale, and the drain isn't clogged. The bed sheets are white, with no stains or hair. Guys might not be as particular, but the cleanliness here will make you think, 'Wow, this money was well spent.' 💬Service The front desk staff, both guys and girls, are efficient and don't waste time. They answer all your questions and check you in quickly. Sometimes in the evenings, they organize communal dinners or casual drinks and chats. If you feel like joining in, you can; if not, no one forces you. This kind of service, without awkwardness or annoyance, is truly comfortable. 🔥Overall Impression Coming here alone, it doesn't feel awkward; coming with friends, you can still have a good time. They don't go for those trendy, 'influencer' gimmicks; it's simply a hostel that understands what 'staying' truly means. Next time I'm in Yining, I'll definitely stay here again. No more words needed, five stars.

Positive reviews: This stay was fantastic! The room was clean and tidy, fully equipped, the bedding was comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be back next time. The hotel is in a prime location, making it convenient for travel. The room was pleasant and soundproofed, and the value for money was excellent. I highly recommend it! The service was incredibly attentive, including a small gift upon check-in. The room was warmly decorated, the facilities were new, and I felt very comfortable staying there.

I was hesitant before booking this place because it's far from the city center but close to the train station. However, taxis in Yining are incredibly easy to hail and super cheap! (I usually take public transport whenever possible, but Xinjiang, apart from Urumqi's Line 1, doesn't have a subway, and buses are hard to wait for, though you can if you're patient. This Backpacker's Ten Years hostel is also close to a bus stop.) I don't know if I was just lucky, but all seven or eight times I took a taxi, it was a female driver, and the cars all smelled great – it made the whole experience fantastic. The exterior of this Backpacker's Ten Years hostel is designed like a 'Red Dust Inn' (a style of ancient Chinese inn). The common areas are incredibly spacious, with billiards, computers, projection screens, TVs, and a pair of super friendly cats. The bed was enormous, I'd say 1.5m (I'm not sure if that's exact, but I was genuinely shocked when I first saw it). It was off-season, and I booked a 10-bed dorm. The front desk lady said if the bottom bunks in the 10-bed dorm were full, she'd put me in a bottom bunk in an 8-bed dorm, which was a nice gesture. The bathroom had plenty of hooks and a waterproof curtain, which was great. I didn't wash any large items of clothing since it was winter, so I can't comment on the drying area.

Facilities: Very complete and excellent. Hygiene: Very clean and tidy. Environment: Excellent and very comfortable. Service: Excellent, I loved it! Overall, I am very satisfied and will come again.

The location is good; there are many restaurants to the right after you go downstairs. Transportation is convenient; there's an airport shuttle bus right downstairs. The room is clean and hygienic, with unique decor and relatively complete facilities. The only drawback is that the TV doesn't have internet settings enabled, so you can't cast your favorite content and programs. This seems to be a common problem with hotels in Korla; I've stayed at several hotels in Korla this year, and none of them seem to have screen casting functionality.

This is a treasure hostel with excellent value for money. I'll stay here again next time! I stayed for two days and the experience was amazing! This is the best hostel I've ever stayed in! Barely one of them! It's right inside the tourist attraction, and there's a beautiful alleyway right outside. The public areas are well designed, and there's a small cabin with beautiful lighting at night. The sheets and quilts are all fragrant. I'll stay here again next time.

Compact, but very comfortable and modern room. Plenty of food options around and the classy Wanda Plaza mall just across the road. Very helpful front desk staff. Some foreign travellers might find it a little hard to find because there are quite a few small hotels in the same tall building- it's just a matter of walking around the building to find the entrance (in Chinese above the doorway).
