Xining Chengxi District Hotels

The hotel has been open for many years. While the lobby is beautiful, some of the in-room facilities are outdated. 😂 Even the Qinghai-Gansu Loop hotels now have smart toilets as standard. There's no air conditioning in the room (I'm not sure if this is typical for all of Xining), and it felt quite stuffy, so they sent a fan up. However, the service from the front desk, concierge, and even the room attendants was excellent – very polite and professional. Every morning, I'd see a senior manager on the first floor who would proactively greet guests and hold the elevator. The restaurant also has a good variety of dishes, but the chef wasn't very polite and seemed impatient when answering questions, and this was the case both days 🙃. The beef offal soup on the first day was even cold 🙃. The hotel's location is great, in the bustling Chenxi district, surrounded by shopping malls, making it very convenient for dining and shopping.

The service provided by the front desk lady is very good, proactive, enthusiastic, and very friendly. The room is clean and has no odor. The bathroom is also very clean. There is hot water all day long and the water comes out quickly. It is a good place to stay on a business trip

I was truly touched by the hotel's warm and inviting atmosphere, and I really appreciated the comfortable stay. The room was clean and tidy with great natural light, creating a soft and soothing ambiance. It was perfect for unwinding after a busy day. The bedding was soft, ensuring a very restful sleep, and the hotel environment was quiet, free from any noisy disturbances. My entire stay was incredibly pleasant. It's reassuring to know I can have such a delightful and relaxing experience again, and I'll definitely prioritize staying here for future trips.

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.

Let's start with the positives: the location is excellent, with many restaurants nearby making dining convenient, and there's an airport shuttle stop right outside. The higher floors offer a panoramic view of the city's nightscape, which was one of the reasons I chose this hotel for my last stop in Xining before flying home. However, on the second day, breakfast was a bizarre experience. They had simply set up a few tables with food in the second-floor hallway, and strangers were squeezed together at large round tables to eat. It was incredibly awkward. There were only two or three unresponsive servers who showed no service awareness. On the third day, we were informed that breakfast had returned to the first-floor restaurant, and the food and environment were finally up to a normal hotel standard. Since my flight was in the afternoon, I called the front desk and was granted a late check-out until 3 PM, which shows the hotel's consideration for guests and good service. This is also why I gave a higher rating.

I had a fantastic stay at the Richen Ruihuan Hotel in Xining! The location is excellent, making it super convenient for getting around and shopping. The room was clean, tidy, and spacious, and the bedding was soft and comfortable, ensuring a very restful night's sleep. The staff were warm and attentive, making check-in efficient and considerate. The breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious options. Whether you're traveling for leisure or business, this is a great choice. I'll definitely prioritize staying here again next time I'm in Xining. Highly recommended!

Overall, the hotel is quite good. All the staff are very friendly, the room was spacious (they gave us a free upgrade), and the housekeeping was excellent. They provided unlimited complimentary bottled water. I personally found the breakfast to be decent. The hot water for showering was plentiful and the temperature was stable. They even gave us a souvenir upon check-out. On the downside: Parking was quite difficult, as most spots were occupied by local cars. The afternoon tea wasn't great (no one was managing it, and there wasn't much to eat, so we didn't use it after checking it out). Waiting for the elevator took a long time, as it's a mixed-use building shared with many companies. Also, you need to walk a bit to find a good selection of restaurants around the hotel.

The hotel opened this year. The room is large and the decoration is very high-end, which meets my aesthetic taste. The whole house is smart, the lights and curtains can be voice-controlled, there is also a smart toilet, the projection image quality is very clear, and we also watched a movie at night. The bed is very clean and soft, and there are washing machines, refrigerators, and induction cookers. The hotel is only a few minutes' walk from Wanda. There are also many delicious foods around the hotel, which is very convenient for eating and shopping. Maybe because of the altitude, the bath water is a little small, and the full-body mirror at the door of the bathroom is a funhouse mirror, which makes me happy. Everything else is great! It's a pity that we have to rush the schedule, otherwise we will definitely stay a few more nights.

(1) The classification of garden-style hotels is simple and worthy of its name. The rooms are all in low-rise villa-style buildings hidden in the garden. The garden landscape is very large. It takes at least 40 minutes to walk through the entire hotel greenery. There are at least dozens of flowers, plants and trees. It is spacious, comfortable and quiet. (2) The hotel has relatively few automated things, but there are also advantages. There is no light pollution from any electrical appliances after turning off the lights in the room. (3) The hotel breakfast is very delicious. It can be seen that the ingredients are not sloppy and the cooking is meticulous. The vegetables are carefully fried instead of boiled and oiled. For example, the stems of snow peas are not torn cleanly. The vegetables are good and everything else is good. I especially like fried dough sticks and fried cakes. They are delicious, crispy but not greasy, and there is no residual oil at all. I booked a day and extended it for another day. Unfortunately, I got up late the next day and didn’t have breakfast. It was a pity. (4) The service is very professional, not just good but professional (5) There are some imperfections, such as the old decoration, but the flaws are not enough to cover the merits The geographical location, decoration materials, space environment, and exquisite food are already hardware that is difficult to put together. In short, I will stay here again next time I come.

This is an older five-star hotel in Xining. I booked a high-floor deluxe twin room, trusting the old reputation of five-star hotels. Upon check-in, they gave us three boxes of specialty Qinghai yogurt. The room wasn't particularly spacious, and the facilities were quite standard, not really feeling up to a five-star rating. The mini-bar fridge was empty, and only tea bags and instant coffee were provided. There was bottled water on a table in the hallway, available to grab anytime, which is good since Xining is quite dry and you need to hydrate. The bathroom was a bit small, with a regular toilet and shower, and the shower pressure was a bit low. The hotel offers a variety of pillows, and the towels and bath towels in the room were very comfortable to use. The standout items at breakfast were the beef noodles and 'zhusheng' noodles.
