5-Star Hotels in Xinjiang, China

Traveling to Kanas, I stayed overnight in Altay and chose this hotel. The lobby and bathroom in the room are decorated in a gemstone style, which is very distinctive of the region. The room was spacious, clean, and tidy, the bed was just right – neither too soft nor too hard – and the soundproofing was excellent. Our room was close to the elevator, but we barely heard any noise and slept soundly until morning. What truly deserves praise is the rich breakfast; it was the most abundant we had at any hotel during our trip to Xinjiang, featuring local delicacies, and it was quite popular. There are some minor drawbacks: the shower water pressure wasn't great, and the trees on the street outside the hotel were small, making the surroundings seem a bit ordinary. However, considering this is in the remote northwest, and you can't compare it to standards in large coastal cities, you'll realize this hotel is quite good for the Northwest. Oh, and the hotel offers a complimentary private car service to the airport for Trip.com customers.

The suite we stayed in was spacious and airy, with a decor style that perfectly blended comfort with local characteristics. From the window, we had an expansive view of Narat's grasslands and distant mountains, truly breathtaking. The bedding was soft and gentle on the skin, and all the linens were of superior quality. Nights were quiet and comfortable, allowing us to fully relax after a day of exploring. The attention to detail in the service was also thoughtful and warm. Our stay far exceeded expectations, making it an excellent choice for anyone visiting Narat. Highly recommended!

Due to the seasonal change, the air conditioning in the room wasn't working, and as someone from the south, I was so hot I couldn't sleep at all! The higher I set the fan speed, the hotter it got... I called the front desk in the middle of the night, and they immediately sent up a fan and explained the reason for the AC issue! They also sent staff to check the room, and offered solutions and actual compensation! Although I ended up being sleepless the entire night, the room's environment and the hotel's breakfast were both good! The only reason I want to give a good review is because of the staff! The service staff at this hotel deserve a six-star rating! They were even more thoughtful than staff at some higher-rated hotels I've stayed at. Plus, the hotel is right next to the ski resort, and the view from the room is beautiful. If I have the chance, I'll definitely choose to bring my kids here again.

The environment is absolutely fantastic! It's a riverside campsite, and you can tell it's been thoughtfully designed, with clever touches everywhere. We unfortunately spent too much time at the attractions and arrived quite late. The campsite offers a bonfire, BBQ, and Uighur girls dancing. On the way to the river, there's also a splash pad for kids, so we really should have arrived earlier. The only minor thing is the gravel path at the entrance, which seems intentionally designed. You can contact the camp beforehand to have staff help with your luggage, as it's a bit difficult to drag suitcases yourself. Also, the soundproofing in the tents isn't the best, but that's to be expected when choosing a campsite. Overall, it's a great camp, and the breakfast selection is very rich. You can also request an oxygen machine.

Even in Yining, Xinjiang, the Intercontinental Hualuxe maintains the consistent high standards of an IHG brand hotel. We traveled a long way with our friends, arriving in Yining from Urumqi after 4 PM. The lovely manager at the front desk (a Uyghur lady) immediately helped us check in. Seeing that we were a family of three with a lot of luggage, she even upgraded us to a deluxe twin room and gave us a complimentary breakfast 🍳. The hospitality of the Xinjiang people was truly evident. That evening, being unfamiliar with the area, we decided to dine at the hotel's Chinese restaurant. They offered a blend of Xinjiang and Cantonese cuisine. As someone from Guangdong, I was delighted to find an authentic 'Yang Zhi Gan Lu' (mango pomelo sago) dessert 🍨 – it was absolutely five-star amazing! We will definitely choose to stay at the Intercontinental Hualuxe again when we return from the grasslands and canyons! ~👍

My recent stay at the Silk Road Rendezvous B&B in Kashgar Old City completely overturned three of my preconceived notions about B&Bs in just a few days. Change 1: Re-evaluating B&Bs – More than just a place to sleep, it's about living your dream life. The moment I stepped into their private courtyard, the world instantly quieted down. Outside, there was the vibrant hustle and bustle of the thousand-year-old city, but inside the courtyard, it was a tranquil oasis where time seemed to stand still. Drinking tea and simply relaxing under the big tree, bathed in dappled light, I truly experienced a 'haven in the heart of the city.' This was exactly the Kashgar I'd dreamt of – the B&B itself was a destination. Change 2: Re-evaluating service managers – From 'call if you need anything' to 'being quietly accompanied and pampered.' Xiao Mu and Xiao Yue were warm, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive. They even kindly accompanied us on tours of the old city, explaining its history, helping us book show tickets, assisting us in attending a Uyghur wedding, and teaching us Uyghur dances. Their constant care made us feel incredibly warm, surprised, and touched! Change 3: Re-evaluating accommodations within a scenic area – Who says vibrancy and tranquility can't coexist? I used to worry that B&Bs in scenic areas would be 'noisy, chaotic, and expensive.' But here, opening the door brings you into the vibrant daily life of the ancient city, while closing it envelops you in the serenity of my private courtyard. It turns out that even in the heart of a scenic area, you can find the blissful feeling of a secluded retreat. Finally, I want to extend a special thanks to the two managers, Xiao Mu and Xiao Yue. You transformed 'service' into genuine 'companionship.' One created comfort in the rooms, and the other planted warmth in our hearts. While the beautiful sights and delicious food of Kashgar might eventually fade from memory, your smiles will stay with me forever.

This hidden gem, a cabin campsite right by Sayram Lake, exceeded all my expectations! The wooden cabins are clean and tidy, and the combination of the wooden structure and thatched roof creates a wonderful grassland vibe. The rooms are fully equipped, and stepping out, you're greeted by vast grasslands, distant rolling hills, and the stunning blue waters of Sayram Lake, just a short walk away. A wooden boardwalk connects the entire camp, offering panoramic views of the wilderness, lake, and distant mountains. The evening scenery is beautifully serene and truly therapeutic. Away from the city bustle, staying here offers an immersive experience of Xinjiang's expansive landscapes. It's incredibly convenient for exploring the lake and mountains. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for lakeside accommodation! ✨

I had an excellent stay at this hotel and was very satisfied with the overall experience. The hotel’s environment, facilities, service, and cleanliness were all excellent. The room was very clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Complimentary beverages were provided in the fridge, along with plenty of bottled water. The room and the bathroom were very well equipped, including a high-quality Dyson hairdryer. I had requested a room on a high floor, and the hotel made sure to accommodate my request, which I really appreciated. The check-in and check-out processes were both excellent, smooth, and efficient. The staff throughout the hotel were very helpful, considerate, and professional. I would especially like to thank the Guest Relationship Manager, Refat, who provided excellent service during my stay. He was very considerate and made sure everything went well. Thank you, Refat, for your kindness and excellent service. I would also like to mention Cathy, who left a very good impression on me. Her service was attentive and thoughtful, and she patiently answered all of my questions. She was extremely helpful and reliable throughout my stay. The location of the hotel is great, especially as it was close to the places I wanted to visit. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and felt very well taken care of. I would happily choose this hotel again for my next stay and would definitely recommend it.

The suite is spacious and offers great views. It's also very convenient to drive directly to the camp. However, I suggest they remove the 'included activities' from the description. 1. The promised Tajik family visit was especially perfunctory, almost non-existent. When we arrived at the local villager's home, no one was there. The camp's guide took us to see the old house. Upon returning to our accommodation, we happened to catch the third oldest child in the family coming back from work, and we chatted for a bit. There were always various snacks laid out in the living room, indicating it's a regular reception spot. A family visit provided by a travel agency would at least have someone from the family present in traditional clothing to introduce things, perhaps with some singing and dancing, and allow for communication between both parties. 2. The 'complimentary coffee' is just the coffee machine available at breakfast; you make it yourself. 3. Communication with the front desk was good; they proactively offered advice on itinerary planning when they saw us about to head out.

A truly satisfying stay! The guesthouse was exceptionally clean, spotless throughout with no dust or odd smells. The room was meticulously cleaned, making for a very comfortable experience. The room itself was new, with a charming local-style decor and all facilities were complete, convenient to use, and modern. Being located within the ancient city made getting around easy, and the rooftop offered stunning views. The service was thoughtful and attentive, and overall, everything was excellent. I couldn't find a single fault with either the cleanliness or the room facilities. It offers great value for money and I genuinely recommend it to anyone visiting Kashgar!
