Tiancheng International Youth Hostel (Kashgar Ancient City Branch) Reviews

This place is amazing. Very well located, rooms are super nice and super clean, and above all everyone at the hostel is super nice, very helpful (I arrived very lately and they helped me to get some foods, a charger, etc). I would 100% recommend this place. Thank you to the manager who is amazing and lovely.

Very central hostel, han-chinese owner speaks english and can give you tipps on what to do and where to eat, spacious room. I had no hot water in my shower, but maybe I didn‘t find out how to get it. Not that many people were in the hostel during my stay.

I had a nice stay here. The hostel is located in the middle of the old city, so the location is great. Everything is clean, and the beds are ok (a bit hard but this seems to be rather standard in China. The staff were amazing, they were extremely nice and helpful, even though communication in Mandarin was not easy for me. They were the highlight of the hostel!Overall, I can recommend staying here.

The hostel accepts foreigners. The staff was very friendly and helped me to find a place which issues permits for Tashkurgan. They quickly respond to WeChat messages and are well informed about the things that an ordinary backpacker might need. The hostel itself has very comfortable beds, hot water and shampoo. My stay was very nice, and I totally recommend it.

The girl on the front desk is helpful using her phone translator, there’s beer in the fridge (Wusu is the strongest but not very strong), the 4-bed room has bathroom and curtains for the beds for privacy. Nice to hear the music from below reaching the room. Great to be in Kashgar for the brilliant Sunday Grand Bazaar livestock and food market, and for the unadorned serene Id Kar main mosque (one of 24,300 mosques in Xinjiang), the mausoleum (walk up the long side road and see it from the back first: it’s beautiful there, there’s no one else and the cemetery is also amazing). The old city isn’t so special but there is a separate part over the main road rather is much less touristy and more appealing. There’s also this beautiful cafe there shown on the last three photos here, with loads of coffees, playing Astrid Gilberto, and with beautiful features he chose to add to the original old-city building.

Great hostel for international travellers. Its location, at the centre of Kashgar's old town, is perfect for sightseeing. The owner speaks fluent English so was very helpful in recommending things to see and do. The bed was comfortable and they have secure lockers for storage. 100% recommend!

Lovely place to talk to other travellers. Perfect for individual travellers.

Right in the center of old town very nice people convenient location. There is kitchen available Wi-Fi available. Social area is very nice as well. Daily activities are beautiful. I highly recommend this place.

Bathroom cleanliness could be better but overall lovely hostel. The location couldn’t be more perfect and the staff are very friendly! They also have lots of activities available. The rooftop has beautiful views.

Best place in Kashgar for staying ! People are really friendly and welcoming especially Xiao Tun

Very central hostel. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The staff was very nice and they offer a lot of group activities! A very nice place to meet other travelers!

Definitely recommend - rooms are nice, beds are comfortable, staff is kind and you can meet some international travelers

Very friendly and the owner speaks English.

Fairly big hostel some shared rooms have their own bathrooms (bring your own TP). Very clean— breakfast and dessert (at night) provided. English is a challenge so don’t expect info about sightseeing, restaurants, transport, etc. Location is great—right in the middle of the renovated ancient city. Lots of bars and restos nearby. Good overnight stay.
