"On June 28, 2026, at 7:00 AM, after a high-speed train and a slower 'green-skin' train journey, we finally arrived at the Golmud Huanghe International Hotel. The friendly front desk lady warmly welcomed us and quickly processed our check-in. She even thoughtfully gave us two breakfast vouchers and advised us to rest well at the hotel after eating to acclimatize to the high altitude, rather than engaging in strenuous activities right away. The hotel's location is excellent, making it convenient for dining and shopping. It also has its own parking lot, which is very friendly for self-driving tourists. The guest rooms are spacious, bright, clean, and hygienic, and the housekeeping staff diligently cleaned them every day. The hotel breakfast was abundant, offering both Chinese and Western options, as well as ******* tsampa and milk tea. The freshly prepared beef noodles were particularly good. They delivered complimentary fruit and snacks every day. On two occasions when we left early for a day tour, they even prepared packed lunches for us. The lobby manager, Xiaofang, was incredibly kind. She gave us a discount when we extended our stay and even added us on WeChat, checking in daily to see how we (being seniors in our sixties) were adapting to the high altitude. The Golmud Huanghe International Hotel truly felt like a warm and considerate temporary home for us in the highlands. We are very grateful for the efforts of every staff member at the hotel. Our trip to the Northwest highlands was delightful, and none of our initial worries materialized; we completed our high-altitude itinerary smoothly. I highly recommend staying at this hotel if you visit Golmud. Five-star rating!"

"Hands down, the most unique hotel on the Qinghai-Gansu Loop! The butler, a lovely young lady, was incredibly helpful. We initially booked the wrong room type, and she patiently assisted us in sorting it out – though the front desk computer was a bit slow. We ended up in an RV, which, while not huge, was clean and cozy, equipped with a fridge, wardrobe, toilet, and shower. Even the shower gel and shampoo were from L'Occitane! Breakfast was a buffet with a decent variety. When we checked in yesterday, we also received vouchers for a slide experience and coffee. After breakfast, my friend and I tried the slide; it was both safe and exciting, though the only downside was the tiring climb up a steep dirt slope. There's a Nowwa Coffee in the hotel complex, and we got a 25 RMB voucher (for coffee or ice cream), but currently, they only serve coffee. An Americano, for example, didn't require any extra payment. The complex also has many beautiful green salt lakes, giving it a mini Qarhan Salt Lake vibe. Last night, as we checked in, the hotel was setting off fireworks and hosting a bonfire party. Unfortunately, by the time we finished checking in, the activities had already ended. We're continuing our Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop journey this afternoon, and I regret missing out on the desert bonfire. I hope to experience it next time! All in all, a very pleasant stay. Highly recommended!"

"Facilities: Excellent! The room was fully equipped, with air conditioning and a humidifier. Cleanliness: Good, clean and hygienic. Environment: Very close to the pedestrian street (5-minute walk), great location! Service: The front desk staff and other staff were very friendly! Airport shuttle service: Punctual and convenient, excellent! The lamb skewers downstairs were also delicious and reasonably priced. A small suggestion: the oxygen device in the room makes a ”popping” sound when it starts and stops at night, which slightly affects sleep. It would be helpful to turn it down a bit to prevent it from stopping. Overall, an excellent experience, definitely worth checking out! 👍"

"The overall experience far exceeded expectations. From the environment, facilities to services, it is very satisfactory. It is a very recommended special accommodation experience. First of all, the most amazing thing is the overall environment of the hotel and the unique sailing tent design. From a distance, the white sailing tents are scattered, and the shape is chic and full of romance. Like the white sailing boat parked in nature, the face value is directly full. The twin room we stayed in was much more spacious than expected. There was no cramped feeling of traditional tents at all. The layout was reasonable and warm. The simple design style blended natural elements. It was stylish and comfortable. It was suitable for both friends and parent-child travel. The facilities inside the room are very complete, and the waiter also prepared earplugs and mosquito repellent for us. The details are full of care. The bedding of the twin bed is soft and tidy, and the zero-pressure mattress is used. The hardness is moderate, and the fatigue when lying on it will dissipate instantly. The quality of sleep at night is particularly good. The room is equipped with smart air conditioning, convenient temperature adjustment, no matter the weather can maintain a comfortable room temperature. The separate bathroom is designed to separate dry and wet, clean and tidy without odor, the bathroom facilities are complete, the hot water supply is stable and the water output is large, and the washing experience is very comfortable. In addition, the room is also equipped with basic daily necessities, neatly arranged, easy to use, really exquisite and practical. The most surprising thing is the view of the room. Open the tent door and the beautiful beach and lake water to drink tea in the sunset, watching the sun slowly fall, the stars and moon are really wonderful. The service is also impeccable, the staff is warm and intimate throughout the photo did not say back, by the way, turn around. Check-in is efficient and fast, and the staff will patiently explain the use of room facilities and surrounding play suggestions. There is any demand during the stay, the response is very timely, the service attitude is gentle and friendly, and people feel very kind. The daily cleaning work is done in place, the room is always clean and tidy, and the details are also handled well, making people feel at ease and comfortable."

"The environment is great, and I really enjoyed the spacious RV. The camp's dining was also good, and they have an observation deck and a big slide. The bonfire at night created a wonderful atmosphere. Other room types also looked interesting; I'd love to come back and stay again if I get the chance. A flock of silly gulls often shows up waiting for food, working diligently morning and night."

"Parking was extremely difficult; parking spaces were hard to find, and you had to drive quite far in to find one. The parking area was also rather narrow. The service didn't feel like that of a chain brand. When I went to check in, I had already booked two breakfasts on Ctrip, and my Ctrip order clearly included two breakfasts. There were two people at the front desk; one said there weren't any. I insisted that breakfast was included, and he asked the other person, who checked and said there weren't any. It was very awkward. I showed him my Ctrip order on my phone, saying that there were breakfasts included, and only then did he confirm and give me two vouchers. It was so embarrassing. I told my companion three times that breakfast was included and that we had booked it. On the first day, when I went to eat breakfast, no one checked the room card or voucher. On the second day, when I went around 9 AM, someone checked it. Also, around 4 or 5 AM, there was a loud noise outside the window, louder than the air conditioner's outdoor unit. I don't know what it was, but I was woken up by it both nights."

"The room was spacious and spotlessly clean, with a separate wet and dry area in the bathroom. It was fully equipped, and the toiletries had a lovely fragrance. The front desk staff were incredibly warm and thoughtful, proactively asking about our needs. In winter, they even offered hot drinks and cookies, which was a really nice touch. Highly recommended!"

"Come to Golmud to travel, stay at the eLong Hotel to experience full marks! The location of the hotel is excellent, just in the city center, facing Kunlun Park, the scenery outside the window is superb, and it is especially convenient to eat and drink around. The front desk service is warm and thoughtful, the check-in is efficient and fast, there are questions and answers, and the local play guide is intimate. The room was a surprise, and the facilities were brand new and complete. The decoration is modern and elegant, the environment is clean and elegant, warm and comfortable, the bedding is soft, the sound insulation effect is good, there is a humidifier in the dry Golmud, and the details are full. 24-hour hot water, small refrigerator, disinfection cabinet, everything, and the living is particularly safe. Whether it is hardware or service, it is impeccable, highly recommended! Stay here next time you come to Golmud!"
