LandaorenThis time, I took annual leave and brought my mom to Xining before the National Day holiday. I chose this Sofitel hotel on Trip.com. Three days before check-in, I received a confirmation call from the hotel and added the concierge on WeChat, which felt quite friendly.
Upon arrival, due to weather issues, our flight was delayed by about an hour, and it was already past 10 PM. The front desk lady was still fully focused and quickly handled our check-in, also providing some tips about the weather and getting around.
The room was quite spacious and even had a humidifier. For some reason, my lips felt very dry during my stay in Xining, but I didn't have that feeling back in Shanghai. The bed was soft yet supportive, and my back felt very comfortable after a night's sleep. The pillows were also suitable, and my neck and shoulders didn't ache. The teabags provided in the room were also very fragrant and not bitter. The toilet paper was thick and reassuring to use. The housekeeping lady even left a handwritten card, which felt very heartwarming.
The hotel's second-floor banquet hall often hosts wedding banquets. During my stay in Xining, I stumbled upon several weddings, including Tibetan-style ones. I even encountered a lady in ******* traditional dress in the elevator who enthusiastically invited us to observe, allowing us to experience ******* wedding culture.
Overall, the Sofitel truly offered good value, even exceeding expectations.

Guest UserMy stay at this Solo Starry Camp exceeded my expectations, and I have to give a huge shout-out to my dedicated butler! Before my arrival, the butler proactively contacted me, thoughtfully sending check-in tips including the room's Wi-Fi password, meal times and locations for all three meals, and even sent the restaurant menu in advance for our reference. What's more, they meticulously organized a travel guide for Water Yadan, truly considering every aspect.
During my stay, no matter what questions I had, the butler always responded promptly and patiently. Their quick responses throughout made all the difference, and their attention to detail was incredibly heartwarming. Being in the vast and desolate Gobi, I was initially worried about various inconveniences on the journey. However, thanks to the butler's meticulous and thoughtful service, all my concerns melted away, making us feel completely at ease in the wilderness.
The camp's scenery is absolutely stunning, and the views of Water Yadan are breathtaking. At night, you can even see a sky full of brilliant stars. But what impressed me most was the butler's genuine attentiveness – it wasn't just a procedural reception, but rather a focus on understanding and anticipating the guests' needs from their perspective. This was a truly healing and unforgettable journey through the Northwest wilderness. I highly recommend it! Next time I return to this Gobi, I'll definitely look for this same butler, eagerly anticipating another trip under the starry sky 🌌

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.

Anonymous UserBefore starting our Loop Line tour, we chose the Sanyu Hotel for our stay in Xining and had a great experience. So, upon returning to Xining after the tour, we decided to stay at Sanyu again.
The front desk lady was sweet and enthusiastic. The welcome snacks and local yogurt were delicious, especially the yogurt with its fragrant milk skin.
Our room on the 23rd floor offered a wide-open view. Not far away, there was a morning market by the river, perfect for pretending to be a local and enjoying a leisurely stroll.
The facilities were well-maintained, and the room had good soundproofing.
For breakfast, there were some local specialty foods, and I even tried half a bowl of ******* savory milk tea, which was quite good.
Overall, it was great, and I recommend it!

My Travel FormulaThe hotel is clean, location is great to the nearby supermarket, shopping malls and the wildlife park. Many restaurants around. It would be great if there's dryer attached with washing machine. Breakfast is great, blended with both western and Chinese selections. I came back to stay with Sebel after my previous stay because of the friendly and informative stuffs who have helped me with the luggages and check in. However, why I rated the service with lower point because after I came back to stay for 2 consecutive nights, we have encountered different stuffs that gave totally opposite vibes, which were arrogant and no greetings, no smile.

I had originally booked another hotel, but two days before check-in, I found out it didn't have air conditioning. I promptly switched to this one. It turns out that even in Xining (the 'Summer Capital'), AC is still a must. The hotel's location is excellent; it's incredibly convenient for public transport, with bus stops all around, making it easy to get to the main attractions in the city. There's even a park right across the street. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient. The room was spacious and tastefully decorated, the mattress had just the right firmness, bottled water was generously provided, and there was even a capsule coffee machine. The bathroom was large, with a separate wet and dry area. For breakfast, they offered local specialties like beef noodles, rice noodles, blanched vegetables, and milk tea. I particularly enjoyed the hot dishes because they had a good variety of vegetables. I'll definitely stay here again when I come to Xining.

Guest UserThe staff were all wonderful and proactively upgraded our room. The room was large, spacious, and had a great view. The design was very thoughtful, with plenty of storage. There was a minor issue with one of the lights in the room, but it was addressed and resolved very promptly. Deliveries were also very quick. We had a very comfortable three-day stay and will definitely return the next time we're in Xining. Thank you all!

My stay was absolutely delightful. The hotel boasts a prime location, and my high-floor room offered a truly fantastic view. The floor-to-ceiling windows provided a breathtaking panoramic city view, allowing me to take in the cityscape during the day and enjoy the captivating ambiance of the city lights at night. The room was immaculately clean, and the bedding was soft and comfortable. I particularly appreciated the humidifier, which was a thoughtful touch given Xining's dry climate. The front desk staff were warm and professional, and with the Wanda commercial area right downstairs, dining and shopping were incredibly convenient. This hotel is perfect for both leisure and business travelers. I'll definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Xining.

The front desk staff were incredibly helpful and patient, answering all my questions. The housekeeping team was also very meticulous, tidying up my room perfectly every day. The bed in the room was super comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. The soundproofing was excellent; I wasn't disturbed by any noise. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort! The price is very reasonable, yet the quality is uncompromised. Both the environment and service exceeded my expectations. It's fantastic value for money, and the hotel's central location makes transportation incredibly convenient. The subway and bus stations are right outside, making it easy to get anywhere. The hotel's design style is distinctive, with every detail showcasing taste and artistry. It left a stunning impression the moment I walked in! They even gave me a 'peace apple' upon check-in, which was a thoughtful gesture. Shortly after checking in, they called to inquire about my stay and any needs I might have. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, and I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time.
Warm Winter Chill Afternoon Tea: Very good.

The most delightful stop on my trip to the great Northwest! Staying at the Solitary Starry Sky Camp was an absolutely amazing experience ✨
I chose the Dome Starry Sky room, and at night, I could just lie in bed and gaze up at the Milky Way. The starry sky over the Gobi Desert is truly breathtaking. In the evening, there was a lively bonfire party where everyone gathered around to sing and dance – the atmosphere was fantastic! We also enjoyed a spectacular fireworks display, which really elevated the experience.
The butler service was attentive and thoughtful; they responded quickly to any requests, making the entire stay hassle-free. The hotel is right next to the Yardang landforms, offering unparalleled views of the Gobi wilderness. The facilities are excellent for a desert camp. I highly recommend including this experience on your Qinghai-Gansu loop tour; it’s an unforgettable Gobi camping adventure!
