HuniuerxiaoleI chose this hotel because of the free airport pickup and drop-off service, which was a decisive factor for me. The butler contacted us in advance and arranged the pickup, even sending us a small guide and restaurant recommendations, which were all very clear. The hotel environment is also excellent, the driver was very friendly, and the room was super comfortable. I do have a small suggestion though: there seemed to be too few trash cans. It would be much more convenient if the small tabletop bins were replaced with larger ones. The hotel breakfast offered a wide variety of options, and there was also complimentary late-night congee available, so if you don't feel like going out in the evening, you can easily have a satisfying meal here. The surroundings of the hotel are also lovely; on a clear night, you can even enjoy moon gazing. Overall, I give my stay a full 5 stars.

★★★★★ I must give Zhongwei Diamond Hotel an out-of-this-world, overwhelmingly positive review!
This Ningxia trip was absolutely made legendary by Diamond Hotel! From the moment we booked, it was clear this would be a top-tier desert experience.
🚗 Seamless Transportation: Smooth to the point of being touching
Before our high-speed train even arrived, our butler had already arranged for our pickup. As soon as we exited the station, we saw a driver in a neat uniform holding a sign. The car was a powerful off-road SUV, and inside, ice water, wet towels, and snacks were thoughtfully prepared – these small details instantly erased our travel fatigue. There's a stretch of desert driving from the station to the hotel, and the driver specifically took us on a 'desert rollercoaster' ride, which was exhilarating yet safe, and our child shrieked with delight the entire way. Upon departure, it was even more impressive; they drove us all the way to the airport departure gate, and we didn't have to touch our luggage once, truly experiencing the luxury of 'hands-free' travel.
🏨 Room Facilities: A Sparkling Diamond in the Desert
The moment we opened the door, our whole family gasped in awe. The floor-to-ceiling glass window framed the continuous sand dunes into a flowing painting. The room was incredibly spacious, with smart home controls throughout, and the bedding felt like sinking into clouds. A Dyson hairdryer, premium toiletries, a complimentary mini-bar fully stocked with imported drinks and snacks, welcome fruits, and a handwritten card showed incredible thoughtfulness. The most amazing part was lying in bed at night, opening the skylight, and seeing the starry sky directly above – this feeling of sleeping under the desert stars is unforgettable.
🏜️ Scenery: Every View is a Screensaver
The scenery here is beyond words. In the early morning, stepping out, you're greeted by a gentle desert sunrise, with the light painting the sand golden; in the evening, lying on the hotel's exclusive terrace, you witness magnificent sunsets and evening glows; late at night, we listened to professional explanations in the stargazing valley, clearly seeing the Milky Way and the Big Dipper. The entire hotel is like a work of art growing out of the desert, with stunning shots at any time and from any angle.
🐫 Activity Arrangements: Fulfilling and Thoughtful
The hotel's activities were so abundant that we never had a moment of boredom. Our butler arranged our itinerary in advance: early morning desert hiking to identify plants, camel riding across dunes in the morning, thrilling dune buggy rides in the afternoon, and a bonfire party and stargazing lecture in the evening. The biggest surprise was that they secretly arranged a desert candlelight dinner for our wedding anniversary – rose petals, champagne, exclusive service, so romantic it brought tears to our eyes. The infinity pool was equally surprising; playing in the water in the middle of the desert with dunes behind you – this contrast was incredibly captivating.
🍽️ Buffet: The Flavors of Northwest China on Your Tongue
Breakfast and dinner can almost be described as 'luxurious'. For breakfast, freshly pulled beef noodles, steaming hot Mugwort noodles, and fresh lamb offal soup – both Chinese and Western options were excellent. The dinner buffet was king-level; unlimited Ningxia Tan sheep meat, hotpot, BBQ – all available. The meat was tender with a milky aroma. There were also freshly shucked oysters, various seafood sashimi, and an exquisite dessert bar. Chefs cooked on-site, and servers cleared plates very promptly. Every meal was so delicious we ate until we couldn't move, and the taste definitely rivaled high-end restaurants.
👩💼 Staff Quality: The Soul of the Hotel
The most touching aspect of this trip was the people. From butler Xiao Yang to dune buggy driver Master Ma, from the front desk to every lady in the restaurant, they always wore genuine smiles. When my wife had mild heatstroke, the butler delivered medicine and mung bean soup in the middle of the night. When our child's clothes got dirty playing in the sand, the housekeeping auntie immediately helped wash and dry them. They remembered every guest's preferences, not with mechanical politeness, but with the sincere care of old friends. This genuine warmth is absolutely the pinnacle of the Chinese hotel industry.
If I had to summarize in one sentence: Diamond Hotel made the desert feel like home, and turned travel into a truly moving experience. I'm already planning my next stay. Friends, go for it with your eyes closed, you definitely won't regret it!

Guest UserI stayed in an air-conditioned cabin without a private bathroom this time. It was cleaner than I expected. I'd recommend bringing a pair of flip-flops for the shared showers. Other amenities like toothbrushes and towels were disposable, which was great. Getting a taxi was difficult, but the host was incredibly thoughtful and came to pick us up. There was a bonfire party in the evening, and they set off fireworks like there was no tomorrow! Watching the stars and fireworks in the desert was absolutely beautiful!

With the high temperatures in Suzhou and Hangzhou, this is a great escape to the heat in the northwest, featuring a lovely guesthouse village. Nan'an is the largest guesthouse complex in the area, with 40 rooms out of a total of 100. This time, we stayed at Taojiaying West House, with a swimming pool in front and a farm/ranch/ranch in the back – very pleasant. The room details were also very well done, suitable for large families or groups of friends.
Both restaurants in the village are good for breakfast: 🌻Xiangke (more variety),
🍜Lao Wang Ji Breakfast & Midnight Canteen. Special praise to Nan'an's management team, including Da Yuan and her group; they communicated with us before our arrival and were very attentive. During our stay, our drone got stuck in a tree in the yard, and the management team helped us find a solution from evening until morning, finally fixing it with a tree trunk over ten meters long.
- Climb the Great Wall (five-minute climb to the top) for panoramic views of the Yellow River and the village.
- Feeding lambs, riding camels, milking goats.
I call it the Yellow River version of ”Wuzhen Village”; the entire village has an integrated design with a Mediterranean feel, perfect for photos.

ChihewanleNumber oneThis review is based on an off-season nightly rate of 3,000 RMB.
**Pros:** Located directly in the desert, offering an escape from the tourist crowds. The hotel design and environment are impeccable.
However, for a hotel at this price point, there are several significant issues:
1. **Shower Pressure:** The water pressure was insufficient for both the handheld and overhead showerheads. You could clearly see clogged nozzles, making it worse than a standard Atour hotel.
2. **Duvet Cover Odor:** Around 11 PM, as I was preparing to sleep, I noticed a faint but unpleasant odor emanating from the duvet, similar to the stale smell of a wet towel left overnight. I had the cleaning staff who came to change it confirm the smell.
3. **Check-in Process Not Smooth:** It had been raining heavily in the desert all day. After driving to the hotel and parking in front of the reception, we had to unload all our luggage, then drive the car out of the hotel gates ourselves to a nearby parking lot, and then walk back to reception. Although it wasn't far, doing this in the rain is unacceptable for a hotel of this caliber (at the very least, they could offer valet parking).
4. **Unprofessional Photo Shoot:** The complimentary photo shoot required advance booking, and customer service strongly emphasized being punctual, warning that tardiness would affect other guests due to high demand. We arrived 5 minutes early, but ended up waiting 10 minutes before a novice photographer was dispatched. About an hour after the shoot, I received a call saying there was a memory card issue, and all the photos taken were lost, requiring a reshoot. Only then was an experienced photographer assigned.
5. **Stinginess at Yellow River Shuji:** My second night was spent at Yellow River Shuji, another hotel in the same group. The service attitude was good, but they were incredibly stingy. I accidentally left behind an original charger, and when the hotel staff mailed it back to me, it was sent **cash on delivery (COD)! COD!** Even Atour hotels don't send items COD, seriously. I know it was my own oversight, but for a hotel of this price, it's quite unbelievable.
Tengol did send some goji berry eight-treasure tea as a parting gift, but I'm still incredibly disappointed.

The room environment feels comfortable, the hotel is in a good location, and the transportation is generally convenient. Duoduo at the front desk said that there is Hengdian Cinema nearby. We went to the snack street in the evening, which is not far from the hotel and can be reached in a few minutes on foot. The room is comfortable and sanitary, the front desk and room attendants are happy to provide all kinds of help, the facilities are very smart, and the price-performance ratio is good. It is the first choice for next stay.

RuiyiwangThe room was very clean and the waiter was very sincere. Because my car had some problems, they helped me contact them. In addition, I booked an extra day because I was waiting for the car to be repaired. Later, the car was repaired. I checked out this morning and refunded the money. The waiter was very good. Thank you very much, little sister. You are welcome to contact me when you come to Taiyuan.

Guest UserI absolutely loved this place! I’m writing this as a foreigner who went with 4 other foreigners for a special birthday weekend. First, the service. We have good Chinese proficiency, but those with limited to none will be fine. Most of the communication and coordination is handled via WeChat - which can auto translate. 东 “Dong” was our main contact. He rocked and gave us a real experience. He shuttled us in the sand jeep, gifted me a cake for my birthday, and was just an overall cool guy. Thanks! Second, the location and accommodations. If you stay near Desert Star, there’s a lot of people and campsites - that area seems like a bit of a tourist funnel. This area is located in the REAL sand dunes area. Further North, you actually cross into Inner Mongolia. The separation and distance is worth it. Makes for brighter stars and a more authentic experience. Third, the food. They were able to coordinate a whole lamb to be roasted for my birthday. It was absolutely extraordinary. The sides for it were some of the best I had on the entire trip - they have some skilled chefs there. This place has great reviews, and it’s worth it. I do recommend this to foreigners, and I hope I can return one day.
