Kaibang Hotel Golmud

The hotel nicely upgraded our room which pleased us a lot. The room is clean and spacious. The service is nice. Our bathroom had some problems with the shower, toilet and sink, but the hotel worker has solved it fast. The breakfast choice is wide, however the cheese does not taste good (there were two kinds of them), and there is only sweet bread. Otherwise, we liked the hotel and extended our stay for one more night.

This is definitely a five star hotel by international standard. The location is convenient and the reception was friendly and efficient. The amenities in the room is complete and the size of the room is extremely suitable for a family of three. The breakfast is surprising international and the selections are of a full varieties of both local and international cuisine. A place to be at whenever you're within the vicinity.

Room air-conditioning is terrible, central chiller is not functioning. F&B wise, only one non hotel operated Chinese restaurant within the hotel with horrible waiting time. However, breakfast wise is surprisingly very good by local standard.

Great breakfast buffet. Huge room, but weird shower setting.

- laundry service: I don't understand how an hotel rated 5* does not propose laundry service, even from outside for a fee... There's only 3 machines available to clean your clothes yourself so it's pretty busy, only one have a "drying" function. At least 2 of the machines are leaking so the laundry room is extremely slippery. - Hot shower in the room is not stable and turn suddenly cold to burning hot. - Breakfast proposed a large choice but the quality is very low. Sausages are cold. Jiaozi are very dry and lukewarm. - Hospitality: I never saw the employees smile, except the cleaning lady. The general attitude is pretty rude and not inviting, except from the manager and one man helping me scheduling a tour. I was reminded twice by a call, 3h and 1h before leaving, to checkout on time. Super rude. Never experienced that before and it really felt they were in hurry to throw me out. + The room are big though. Conclusion: Generally speaking, it's a 2 to 3* quality hotel. But even 3* have a better hospitality. If they could improve the attitude, like in other province of China that would be ok.
