Mountain view Hotels in Bole

This stay was absolutely fantastic, five stars! Because it was rainy and cold that day, the hotel thoughtfully turned on the room's heating in advance. It was so cozy and warm when I walked in, truly heartwarming. The cleanliness also completely exceeded my expectations; it was spotless, which made me feel very comfortable. And the service was impeccable; the staff were warm and attentive. Highly recommend, I'll definitely come back next time!

Traveling to Sailim Lake with two elders and a child, a total of five of us, I chose this hotel because the room type met my needs – we could all stay together. The two elders slept in the twin beds near the entrance; they wake up early, so they could get ready and go out for breakfast. We slept with our child in the inner king-sized bed room, which could be closed off for privacy. The king-sized bed even had a massage function, which was a super pleasant surprise! Xinjiang trips can be quite tiring, so lying in bed for a massage at night was incredibly comfortable. The breakfast was good, offering everything you'd expect, and the environment was pleasant. My daughter absolutely loved this place. The hotel butler also communicated with us beforehand and thoughtfully provided complimentary snacks, yogurt, and a fridge magnet. So considerate! Excellent stay!

The hotel offers a great view of Sayram Lake (the restaurant also has a nice view). Being a Marriott property, it's quite reliable. We traveled with family, including seniors and children, so we felt AC would be a safer bet, and it was! The staff were all very welcoming and attentive. The room was clean, and breakfast was satisfying. The hotel is practically an entrance for self-driving tours, which is super convenient. We visited during peak season, and we could tell how crowded the scenic area was just by looking at the traffic outside our window 😉. We even got to experience the 'Sayram Lake blue'.

On our last night at Sayram Lake, we checked into the newly opened Shuiyunshan Pullman Hotel this year. We initially chose it for convenience, but ended up being charmed by a series of small, thoughtful touches. During check-in, the front desk cheerfully mentioned the 'afternoon tea gift' was on the fifth floor of the adjacent building. Even more surprising, despite booking a standard twin room, we found children's toothbrushes and soft-soled slippers upon entering. The light-colored, fluffy carpet was spotless, a rare achievement for a new hotel, showcasing exceptional housekeeping. You absolutely must try the in-room dining; the food is better than most restaurants in Xinjiang. The young lady who delivered our meal was incredibly sweet – kudos to her! Breakfast was another delightful surprise. Xinjiang milk tea paired with baursak is a standard, and both coffee machines were equipped with ice buckets. New hotels often falter on details, but this one excelled with its attentiveness. More memorable than the scenery itself was this perfect warmth.

The yurt experience was fantastic! Even though it was a small one, it could comfortably sleep four people. The owner provided disposable bedding, and I can confirm, as someone with a very sensitive nose, the bedding had absolutely no smell. The restroom was indeed an outdoor toilet (a 'outhouse' as we'd call it! 😂). If it's raining, remember to bring an umbrella when you go! But it was very clean, and they covered it with plant ash every day. The room had a washing basin and a thermos. The owner was super nice – they even picked us up when we missed the scenic area shuttle. And when we weren't used to the washing facilities in the yurt, they drove us to the service area restrooms to wash up and remove our makeup. The rose paste and other treats they gave us were delicious; we packed them all and ate them during our hike later. Breakfast was also incredibly tasty. On the second day, they even drove us down to the shuttle bus stop. Overall, the experience was excellent. When it rained at night, they even worried if we'd be cold, but we weren't cold at all; the heater was secretly on all night, hahahahaha! Their food is also delicious; the small portion of 'big plate chicken' was actually quite large, and the lamb skewers were amazing! They have a flock of sheep, and taking photos on the hillside with them is incredibly beautiful! And at night, stargazing was absolutely stunning.

You haven't truly experienced Sayram Lake until you've stayed at Tamarshal. The architecture draws inspiration from the lake's winds and stones, seamlessly blending the wilderness into the living space. Open your window to an expansive vista of the lake and mountains. Here, the hurried anxieties of travel melt away, and you truly understand that the journey itself is the joy.

First, the nomadic yurts are nestled halfway up the mountain. A few minutes' drive up the mountain on the left side of the scenic road allows you to watch the sunrise and sunset over the mountains, the moon rise and set over the lake, and the night view of Sayram Lake—it's absolutely stunning. Second, the owner is handsome and welcoming. Their boiled lamb is a must-try, and the lamb skewers are also highly recommended. They're delicious. Third, the temperature difference between morning and night is significant. The yurt has a small stove, which keeps it warm, so I wasn't cold at night. I even asked for a bucket of charcoal when I stayed there, but I didn't use it all. Fourth, there's no place to wash. I asked for a kettle to boil water, and in the morning, I squatted outside the yurt to brush my teeth. I couldn't find a basin, so I just wiped my face. My baby, who wears makeup, had to figure out how to remove it at night and put it on in the morning, haha. Fifth, the dry toilets... One thing to keep in mind is that the grasslands are unobstructed, and you won't be able to explore the vast expanse of the open air. You get it? There are two dogs who can understand what I say, a fighting cat, and countless cattle, sheep, and horses. I even woke up in the middle of the night to secretly watch the night view of Sailimu Lake. Sixth, I brought disposable bedding, but I didn't use it. Not because I didn't need it, but because I was exhausted after a crazy day of fun. The high altitude and strong winds made me gasp for air when I moved, so I was so busy that I forgot about it. Seventh, overall, I recommend this place for those who are driving themselves. The scenery and experience can make up for the other shortcomings. After all, eight out of ten people are not satisfied with their lives. From this perspective, it's already great.

We booked the guest rooms, which are actually a “盲盒” concept where you get whichever room is available upon check-in. Luckily, we were upgraded to wooden cabins with two rooms each. Since I booked 3 rooms, they arranged 2 wooden cabins for us. Each cabin came with two independent bedrooms with attached bathrooms, plus a shared living room. We absolutely loved it because we could gather and spend time together in the living room. We even had steamboat there one evening, which made the stay feel extra cozy, lovely, and convenient. There was also a huge open area in front of the cabins, but unfortunately the wind during our stay was too strong for us to sit outside. In the evening, sheep were grazing right outside our unit. On good weather days, you can even see Sayram Lake and the snow mountains directly from the cabin, which was really beautiful. The cabins are spread across a large area, so you do need to walk to your unit, but the pathways are properly paved and easy to walk on. Our cabin was about 200m from the car park. Special shoutout to the staff, Hemu and Dan Ni Er, who were extremely helpful. They used their small transport buggy to help move our luggage during check-in and check-out. Since we were travelling with elderly family members who had difficulty walking, they also kindly gave them rides to and from the cabin, which we truly appreciated. Highly recommended for those looking for a different and more memorable experience compared to a normal hotel stay.

My first capsule hotel experience totally exceeded my expectations! It felt really safe and cozy in there, and the bed was so clean and comfy. They even offer free laundry service, which was a huge plus. Location-wise, it's pretty great too. I was walking to the park, and it was super close to the Old East Gate entrance. Plus, there are tons of good places to eat and convenience stores nearby, making it incredibly convenient.

I finally get it! There's a shade of blue in this world called Sayram Lake Blue 🌊 Staying in this yurt, you open the door to this breathtaking blue that's etched into your soul. Standing by the monument, watching the lake's waves, with snow-capped mountains in the distance – every single frame is so beautiful it leaves you speechless! The yurt is clean and has a unique Kazakh charm. The owner is super friendly and even pointed out the best photo spots. If you're coming to Sayram Lake, staying here is an instant romance booster!
