Hostels in Xinjiang, China

This hostel in Yining is a hidden gem! With a balcony room and heartwarming service, I could stay for ten days and still not want to leave. I stayed at Backpackers 10 Years Hostel, right by Yining Railway Station, for almost ten days, and the experience was incredible! I have to recommend my favorite room – it comes with a small balcony. In the mornings, I'd curl up in a chair, soaking in the sun and reading. In the afternoons, I'd simply relax in the warm light. It was so gentle and therapeutic, making for an incredibly relaxing stay. The hostel environment also exceeded my expectations: the rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean. The ground floor common area was fully equipped with billiards, table tennis, and a reading nook, making leisure and entertainment super convenient. What touched me the most was the human touch! I sprained my ankle hiking (unrelated to the hostel), and the front desk, owner, and customer service staff were all incredibly kind. They actively checked in on me, brought hot water, and even gave me safflower oil. The hostel's dog also quietly stayed by my side. The kindness I received in a foreign land was truly moving. The location is close to the train station, making travel convenient. The cleanliness, service, and value for money were all top-notch. This place doesn't feel like a hostel; it's more like a warm little harbor. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Yining! Highly recommended! ❤️

Could not recommend this hostel enough! The owner and staff were extraordinary kindhearted and went above and beyond to show us their hospitality and culture. It was our first day in china and they introduced us to their local cuisine and helped us get accustomed to the place, showing us around the beautiful town centre. The rooms themselves were lovely and heated with spacious beds that had privacy via a well fitted curtain. I slept for 12 hours in total, they were so comfortable! This was also due to the late check out of 2 o clock, a definite plus! The hostel was very well equipped with a kitchen, washing machine, decorated communal area and a beautiful glass library room with lots of books. This room was one of my favourites with lots of natural light and lovely heat for a cold march! The hostel was well situated with a convenience store a few meters walk and tourist attractions nearby! I’d really recommend to all travellers especially those whose first time it is in china! Yining and this hostel and staff offer so much!

I stayed here for many days and extended my stay several times. The location is right in the center of the western part of the old town. There's a rooftop terrace where you can see snow-capped mountains on clear days. Downstairs, there's a century-old tea house, and almost every day around 6 PM, you can often catch free local dance performances, like the 'Princess of the Western Regions Riding a Camel', right outside.

It's great for a hostel, good design, seem like Japanese style, clean and tidy. I can't expect more about amenity for a hostel. It's also decorated for trekking guy and the host really good at this point. He spent 1 hour to help me make a plan for my coming trip.

This is a treasure hostel with excellent value for money. I'll stay here again next time! I stayed for two days and the experience was amazing! This is the best hostel I've ever stayed in! Barely one of them! It's right inside the tourist attraction, and there's a beautiful alleyway right outside. The public areas are well designed, and there's a small cabin with beautiful lighting at night. The sheets and quilts are all fragrant. I'll stay here again next time.

Super nice hostel in the old city with a peaceful vibe. The rooms are excellent value for money, clean and well equipped. I had the best night's sleep I had in ages. The hostel is built around a courtyard with mature trees in the centre which keeps it cool in the day. There is a well equipped kitchen, free laundry and the atmosphere is friendly. If you are cycling or on a motorbike you can store these safely in the courtyard.

Had a fantastic experience! Being an all-female hostel, it was so much more comfortable and relaxed for us to chat. The owner was also lovely to talk to, and it really felt like a warm and cozy home away from home with a great sense of community. I'll definitely be back here next time I'm in Kashgar. A big plus is that it's an all-female hostel, so no unpleasant cigarette smells!

Nice quiet hostel where it is easy to relax. The bed is comfy, no gas to cook but there is hot water a microwave and a few other appliances you can use. It's a bit away from the ancient city but there are plenty of other shopping streets nearby. I left my bike outside the door because it's a very safe area. There were some very friendly people in the hostel who helped me navigate the Chinese way of doing things. It's really good value staying here, would recommend. Message them if you have difficult finding the place.

This hotel truly exceeded my expectations and deserves a huge thumbs up! From the moment I entered, I felt their sincerity. The receptionist was incredibly friendly, check-in was super fast, and she proactively introduced the hotel's facilities and nearby amenities, making me feel instantly warm and welcome. The room was an even bigger surprise. As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by a light, pleasant fragrance, completely free of any unpleasant odors. The sheets and duvet covers were spotless, feeling incredibly comfortable to the touch. The pillows were the perfect firmness; I didn't want to get out of bed after one night's sleep. The bathroom was spotless, hot water came out instantly, and the water pressure was just right. The toiletries were all brand-name products, giving me peace of mind. The facilities were also impeccable; the air conditioning worked perfectly for both cooling and heating.

Located on the edge of the old city's west district, it's very convenient for commuting to the east district. The single king-size room was right next to the public bathroom, but still relatively quiet. The front desk even created a group for us so we could plan carpools or meals together.
