Dongfangchenxi1177During my trip around Qinghai Lake, I stayed at the Kaiyuan Hotel in Xining, and it was a fantastic experience. The hotel is very close to Xining Station, within walking distance, which is super convenient for catching high-speed trains. The front desk staff were very dedicated and proactive in helping with any issues. The hotel breakfast was plentiful, and the restaurant was spacious. They also have an underground parking garage, which is great for those traveling by car. The rooms were clean and tidy, and the bedding was very comfortable. The hotel's surroundings have a well-developed commercial area, making shopping and strolling very convenient. It's close to Xining's shopping streets and night markets. Highly recommended!

ATypeSnowI was truly touched by the hotel's warm and inviting atmosphere, and I really appreciated the comfortable stay. The room was clean and tidy with great natural light, creating a soft and soothing ambiance. It was perfect for unwinding after a busy day. The bedding was soft, ensuring a very restful sleep, and the hotel environment was quiet, free from any noisy disturbances. My entire stay was incredibly pleasant. It's reassuring to know I can have such a delightful and relaxing experience again, and I'll definitely prioritize staying here for future trips.

VincentlhxThe hotel has been open for many years. While the lobby is beautiful, some of the in-room facilities are outdated. 😂 Even the Qinghai-Gansu Loop hotels now have smart toilets as standard. There's no air conditioning in the room (I'm not sure if this is typical for all of Xining), and it felt quite stuffy, so they sent a fan up. However, the service from the front desk, concierge, and even the room attendants was excellent – very polite and professional. Every morning, I'd see a senior manager on the first floor who would proactively greet guests and hold the elevator. The restaurant also has a good variety of dishes, but the chef wasn't very polite and seemed impatient when answering questions, and this was the case both days 🙃. The beef offal soup on the first day was even cold 🙃. The hotel's location is great, in the bustling Chenxi district, surrounded by shopping malls, making it very convenient for dining and shopping.

Booking the Guanhu International Hotel was the smartest decision I made on this Qinghai Lake trip! As the first 5-diamond hotel around the lake, its facilities are truly impressive, but what really made it feel like great value for money was the warm service.
I have to give a special shout-out to our little ******* fox butler! They proactively contacted us before check-in to help plan our itinerary. During our stay, whether it was recommending the best sunset viewing spots or promptly responding to our various small requests, the ******* fox butler was incredibly meticulous, gentle, and patient. That feeling of 'everything is taken care of' completely washed away our travel fatigue and truly made us feel at home!
The hotel restaurant also gave me a huge surprise! I originally thought dining in a scenic area might be a hit or miss, but the dishes were amazing, and the ingredients were incredibly fresh. From authentic highland beef and lamb to the yak yogurt in the special breakfast, everything was unforgettable. Enjoying delicious food by the window while admiring the vast lake view was a truly wonderful experience. I will definitely choose this place again next time I visit Qinghai Lake!

Extremely satisfied! The day before, due to altitude sickness, I had to cancel my reservation, and the hotel promptly confirmed the free cancellation. The next day, I felt much better and was reluctant to miss out on the trip, so I booked this hotel again at the last minute. This desert hotel offered stunning sunsets, stars, and sunrises—truly exceeding my expectations! The butler service was incredibly attentive, and they even prepared a small gift. Highly recommended!

Guest UserI had a wonderful stay! The room was spacious and well-designed, spotlessly clean, and completely odor-free. The bed was so soft and comfortable, I slept like a baby. The bathroom had a great wet/dry separation, and there was plenty of hot water, with all the essential amenities provided. The hotel staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and friendly. The location is super convenient for transportation, yet the surroundings are peaceful and quiet. It’s definitely an excellent choice for a trip.
The hygiene was top-notch; there wasn't a speck of dust or dirt anywhere, and the room was well-ventilated with a comfortable temperature. The soundproofing was fantastic, making for a truly quiet night's rest. The facilities were excellent, with soft, pleasant lighting. The staff were responsive and friendly. This hotel offers much better value for money than others in its price range, and I would genuinely recommend it and definitely return.

ZhiyindelvxingHighly recommended hotel! Firstly, the front desk staff were warm, efficient, and professional. Seeing that we had a child, they proactively upgraded our room based on availability, making the whole process smooth and comfortable. Secondly, the hotel rooms are well-equipped, with relatively new facilities, air conditioning, and spacious, clean interiors. Thirdly, during peak delivery times when the robots were overwhelmed, the hotel staff helped deliver our takeout to the room. Their service-oriented mindset and willingness to go the extra mile for guests were impressive. Fourthly, the location is very convenient, making dining, entertainment, and shopping easily accessible. Overall, I personally think this is a hotel worth recommending to good friends.

Guest UserThe hotel breakfast was very rich, and the environment and hygiene were excellent. Less than half an hour after checking out, I received a call from housekeeper Xiaoqi. My child had left a charger in the room, and there wasn't enough time to go back and get it. Xiaoqi then arranged for it to be mailed, which I greatly appreciate.

zlepoThis is an older five-star hotel in Xining. I booked a high-floor deluxe twin room, trusting the old reputation of five-star hotels. Upon check-in, they gave us three boxes of specialty Qinghai yogurt. The room wasn't particularly spacious, and the facilities were quite standard, not really feeling up to a five-star rating. The mini-bar fridge was empty, and only tea bags and instant coffee were provided. There was bottled water on a table in the hallway, available to grab anytime, which is good since Xining is quite dry and you need to hydrate. The bathroom was a bit small, with a regular toilet and shower, and the shower pressure was a bit low. The hotel offers a variety of pillows, and the towels and bath towels in the room were very comfortable to use. The standout items at breakfast were the beef noodles and 'zhusheng' noodles.
