2-Star Hotels in Yining City

From the first moment, i had such an excellent time at Blue Dove. I chose the place for the incredible design of the place, the location within Kazankh ancient town, and the reference to Doves... I left with so much more! The owner and her husband were so helpful and brought ice coffees for me and my dad when we arrived, which was so welcome. They had local treats and fruit to try and a wonderful sense of community. They helped us arrange a driver to Qionkushtai and packed us a breakfast to go, with coffee :) Every detail has been carefully considered and it was a joy to stay at Blue Dove. I consider owner Wen to be my friend and look forward to visiting again. I highly recommend!

在放夏真的被老闆兩口子寵壞了！ 來伊寧第一晚純粹是為了省事，在小紅書找他們家租“理想”露營墊，順便訂了個房，結果萬萬沒想到，這一住直接把我的住宿閾值拔高了，後面很難再住別的店了…（對了，圖文一致，所見即所得，所得超出預期！） 講真，這事兒得從那個墊子説起。 7.1號我發的訊息，後來自己都忘了沒回。結果7.12看到人家老闆兩口子回了消息！等我7.13一到伊寧，好傢伙，墊子不僅準備好了，老闆大哥直接給我安裝好了！甚至還借了我被子、整套四件套、枕頭，還有兩個露營椅！怕我們在賽里木湖沒水果吃，硬塞給我一大袋杏子（那個杏子真的絕了，巨甜！）。 那一刻我就知道，這波穩了；我將是賽湖最暖和的人😏 關於位置（懶人狂喜）： 離機場真的“超近”而且老闆兩口子還管接送機。這距離下飛機還沒緩過神呢，車就已經能到了，拖着箱子也不用走路，這對中轉黨、首末日來説簡直是救命級服務好嗎！（雖然這次我是自駕來的，但還是按頭安利給所有來的小夥伴！） 關於環境和出片： 整體裝修是很年輕的現代風，不是那種土味網紅店。院子裏的植物也是老闆兩口子自己精心養的，很有生活氣息。房間乾淨又亮堂，隨便往窗邊一站就能拍出幾張滿意的照片，這點非常滿意。 關於老闆（四川人，真的太耿直了）： 一定要誇爆老闆兩口子！性格巨直爽，全程都不需要我們動手，搬行李、推薦吃吃喝喝，還送我們去六星街，推薦本地人好吃的店（拌麪yyds！烤肉🍖也好吃得不行）。 最離譜的是這波“羊毛”： 從第一天拿到墊子開始到第二天住店第三天離店，簡稱“又吃又拿”，水果零食不停嘴，走的時候還讓我們帶上路。老闆請吃了烤肉、酸奶刨冰、手搓冰激凌、臨走了還裝了一大袋杏子，哈哈哈哈，隔壁的房客都饞哭了😏可別説，臨走還有冰箱貼，嘿，嘿嘿嘿 這哪裡是開民宿，簡直是把客人當自家親戚招待了！以後就是我的姐～ 關於性價比： 離機場這麼近，能接送機，服務還這麼豪橫，這價格在伊寧真的很難找第二家了，妥妥入股不虧！下次再來～ 哈哈哈哈 總之，以後來伊寧，別猶豫，直接沖“放夏”就完事了！指定入住！！！

A True Hidden Gem – The Best Stay of My Xinjiang Trip! Out of my entire journey across Xinjiang, this homestay was by far the most memorable and heartwarming experience. The moment I stepped into the beautifully decorated home, with its stunning blue hues, traditional Uyghur details, and peaceful courtyard covered by a canopy of vines, I instantly felt at ease. It truly felt like home. What made it even more special was the incredible hospitality. The owner was exceptionally friendly, always ready with a warm smile and willing to help with anything I needed—whether it was sharing local tips, helping with transportation, or simply chatting over tea. Their kindness made me feel not just like a guest, but like part of the family. The attention to detail in every corner, the peaceful swing in the courtyard, and the cozy atmosphere created the perfect setting to relax after a day of exploring. I can’t recommend this place enough—if you’re traveling through Xinjiang and want to experience genuine warmth and culture, this is the place to be.

Even though I only stayed for one night, the value for money was truly excellent. The location is right inside the Kazanqi scenic area, so it's easy to find by taxi. The front desk lady was very kind and enthusiastic, and even helped me with my luggage. The room was clean, and the comforter and pillows felt brand new. The courtyard is huge and absolutely beautiful. That night, I even joined a mahjong game with some other guests – it was so much fun! I hope to stay longer next time.

I stayed here for over a week and absolutely loved it! The ladies working here were all incredibly warm and charming. We even went shopping together and had some late-night skewers. The hotel's decor is beautiful, and being surrounded by local ethnic minorities really allowed me to immerse myself in the local customs. It was truly wonderful!

The location is a little bit hidden in an alley, however I love how it is nestled among the local restaurants and houses, you get to see how the people live on the daily basis. Otherwise the room is clean, amenities are great too. If you are a light-sleeper, it can be a little bit noisy since it is located near houses. But overall, it is a great guesthouse if you would like a place near town as a base for your travel. The owner’s daugther though..despite my limited Mandarin, she went away and beyond to help me with literally everything from booking a bus, and communicating with a DiDi driver to mail my AirPod which I had left in the car at a different city!  She arranged for it to be sent to my next location which I had book prior, ensured that the postman gave the mail to me personally by phonecall. She is one of the sweetest person I have met during my solo travel to China.

I highly recommend this guesthouse! It has a modern, light luxury feel throughout, and the entire space is clean and bright. The two large beds are spacious and not at all cramped, and the mattresses are just right – neither too soft nor too firm. The super-sized projection screen by the window, combined with lounging in a chair to watch shows, feels like a private cinema. The small round table with green plant decor adds a touch of elegance. The independent and tidy bathroom is well-equipped, the location is convenient, and the landlord is thoughtful and attentive. It was a perfect stay, my top choice for accommodation!

The hygiene is excellent, and the owner is very warm and friendly. This is my second time visiting Yining, and the people here are genuinely wonderful. The hotel has a washing machine for laundry, and the staff even provided laundry detergent and hangers. The location is easy to find, right at the intersection of the main road in Liuxing Street.

That night, I returned to Yining from Nalati at 10 PM, exhausted. I went to the IU Hotel specifically to book a twin room, specifically room number 322. Booking through the platform was cheaper, and the receptionist promised to upgrade me to twin room 322 after I booked through the platform… However, after completing the booking, the receptionist gave me a double room on the second floor, number 206! He said that was the room I had booked! 😔😔😔😔 I requested a higher floor, and the receptionist said that my booking platform limited me to the second floor! Is that really true? I checked the platform again, and it said it was the 3rd or 4th floor. I felt the staff wasn't paying attention and the receptionist was lying to get rid of us as quickly as possible! My friend and I slept in the double bed but didn't sleep well all night. Also, when we entered the room, there were only two pillows on the bed, and they were stacked together and leaning against the bed. I felt someone had used them, but the receptionist said it was their ”special way of arranging pillows,” different from other hotels! Then there was a drop of blood next to the sink, though it might have been strawberry or other fruit juice. The towels were sealed in plastic bags, which was fine, but one of the bags was open, and the tissues in the tissue box were crumpled, which was unpleasant to look at. The front desk said we could talk to them about any problems with the amenities, but it was already late, we were exhausted, and the hotel should be able to check the cleanliness of the room itself, not wait for guest complaints or feedback. I'm here to travel and rest, not to be told there's something wrong with the room. It wasted a lot of my time. Because I didn't sleep well the night before, I went to the front desk around 10 am the next morning to request a room change… The rude front desk staff said he was about to leave work and told me to talk to the staff member who was coming on duty. Then that staff member was changing clothes and told me to wait until he finished changing! It felt like they were treating guests very poorly! They showed no respect for guests!

Great hotel. There is an open space to chill in the evening. The girls on the reception were here helpful and we managed to communicate with the translator with no problem. Only 3 minute walk from great food street, where you can try traditional food. There is drinkable water next ro the reception. The location is right in the center 1km from the long bus terminal and 6km from the railway station. But from the left and right side of the hotel you can have a nice walk in the city. If you are from Europe there is a chance to not be able to connect to the WiFi. Just FYI.
