List Hotels in Xining

Xining Hotel Information

There is a big variety of hotels in Xining, but none of really first class quality or service. Most of the hotels are fairly centrally located, near to the railway station and long distance bus station. Within the city there is often the possibility that foreigners will be charged more than Chinese, and in most cases this is non-negotiable. The hotels listed below are in descending order of price.

The Qinghai Hotel (Qinghai binguan, Tel: 0971-6144888) at 20 Huanghe lu. This is the most upmarket hotel in Xining, although it is one of the few hotels in the city that is a little far from the action. The hotel is vast, with 395 rooms (most mod. cons.), a shopping arcade, a Bank of China, a CITS branch and a gym.
The Xining Hotel (Xining binguan, Tel: 0971-8238701) at 215 Qiyi lu. Although also a little far out, this hotel has some peaceful and nice gardens and is cheaper than the Qinghai. There are 600 rooms, four restaurants, a health club and business services here. Three bed dorms are upwards of RMB50, and nastier doubles start at around RMB160.
The Xining Mansion (Xining dasha, Tel: 0971-8149995) near the intersection of Bayi lu and Jianguo lu. A fairly decent two-star hotel to the east of the Great Mosque. The main branch of CITS is housed within. Doubles with a bath in the older building are upwards of RMB50. In the newer building they are around RMB100.
The Qinghai Minzu Hotel (Qinghai minzu binguan, Tel:0971-8225951) on Dongguan dajie, just west of Huyuan jie. A fairly modern building that is central, has decent service and very cheap triples. Just to the west of the Great Mosque. Triples range from RMB20 to RMB50 depending on standards. Doubles are around RMB100.
The Yongfu Hotel (Yongfu binguan, Tel: 0971-8140236) near the Jianguo lu/Binhe lu intersection and the Huangshui River, opposite the bus station. This is the best of the cheaper hotels in town, with friendly service and dorms for around RMB25.
The Youzheng Gongyu Hotel (Youzheng gongyu binguan, Tel: 0971-8140711) at 138 Huzhu lu. Fairly clean rooms, in a paradoxically grotty hotel that is just to the east of the railway station. Dorms are around RMB20, doubles with a bath for RMB38.
