Cheap Hotels in Yan'an

"The hotel's location next to Wanda Plaza is really convenient. It's about a twenty-minute walk to Baota Mountain and not far from Qingliang Mountain. You can take a taxi to the top of Qingliang Mountain for panoramic city views. Plus, the nearby bus stops make it easy to get to Zaoyuan, the museum, and the Yangjialing Revolutionary Site. The hotel service is good, and the front desk staff are very friendly and responsive to any issues. For late check-out, they charge a fee based on the room type: 20 for a double room and 30 for a triple. It's a nice option to extend your stay and rest a bit, especially if you have a later departure."

"The hotel is huge, and its facilities are excellent; it's probably one of the best in the area in terms of hardware. The cave room is very unique, but the lighting is so dim it really feels like a cave. If the hardware is five-star, then the service is three-star. The service was absolutely terrible, and the hotel's management level was a disaster. We stayed for two days and encountered so many problems that we decisively checked out and moved to another hotel, even though we had originally planned to extend our stay. 1. Because we were watching the 'Return to Yan'an' performance at 7 PM, the front desk, based on the time, booked an 'Embittered Memories' dinner for 5 PM the day before. Later, I called the front desk again to change it to 5:30 PM. When we arrived at the restaurant punctually, the restaurant's front desk couldn't even find our reservation, and the restaurant was completely unprepared. The restaurant staff quickly informed the hotel front desk that due to lack of preparation, all internal hotel guests with reservations were pushed back until after 8 PM. 2. There was a lack of communication or timely information exchange between the restaurant, front desk, and concierge. Given such a major blunder with the dining reservation, I immediately went to the front desk to inquire about the performance reservation I had made the day before for today. From what I overheard from the staff's phone conversation, it seemed they still hadn't made the reservation and were urgently trying to sort it out. 3. The restaurant manager said that because they weren't prepared, they would arrange for the food to be delivered to our room after 8:30 PM. After we returned from the performance, it still hadn't arrived. When I called to inquire, I was told that the reservation hadn't been made again. They then rushed to make it, and it was delivered to our room after 9 PM. 4. Breakfast was an even bigger disaster. The restaurant was quite small, with no usher, and no designated queuing area. The front desk just let people in without any guidance. Everyone had to wait behind guests who hadn't finished eating yet to grab a seat. In the end, we (a family of three) had no choice but to split up and find separate spots to share tables. 5. Not to mention the insufficient supply of coffee, milk, and beverages, the plates were also cleared very slowly. Everyone was doing half a task and then moving on to another. Despite a decent number of staff and not too many tables, it was still chaotic, which again proved the extremely poor training and management. 6. While eating, we saw more and more guests coming down. The front desk informed them there were no seats and to come back in half an hour. A large group of guests left unhappily. However, later guests were seated right away when seats became available. I can only imagine the anger of the large group of guests who waited half an hour only to have to continue waiting. 7. When checking in, we registered our child's information, but the front desk didn't even think to prepare children's toiletries and slippers. When I called the front desk from the room, the robot answered and recorded the request for children's supplies and an extra duvet. Half an hour later, there was still no movement. It was only when I switched to a human operator to complain that they urgently delivered them."

"The hotel's location is convenient, and the service is attentive and thoughtful. The room is clean and tidy, making for a very comfortable stay. The service was just right, especially the warm and friendly front desk staff who gave us sour plum soup, welcome fruit, and even a refrigerator magnet upon checkout, which really brightened our day. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time... The folks in the old district are just wonderful!!"

The tour agent Ms Xiao Ma provides good tour recommendations and is professional. Highly recommend this hotel."

"The location is super convenient, right next to Erdao Street Night Market. You can see the pagoda mountain night view in about a 5-minute walk. The room is very clean and spacious, and the price offers excellent value for money. I'll definitely stay here again if I get the chance."

"When I came, I compared several good hotels on the platform, and finally booked Qiyun Tingyue Hotel. After coming, the first thing is that the location is quite good. The front desk staff are very enthusiastic. Especially the hotel Yanjing heard that we said that we had a bad sleep. We specially coordinated to upgrade to a very quiet and spacious comfortable room. When we were laundry, we also specially asked the service staff to send laundry detergent. All aspects of service were very thoughtful. Four days and three nights are very comfortable. The hotel is a few minutes walk from Pagoda Mountain, night market, Qingliang Mountain. The location is excellent. The surrounding area is very lively, the scenery is beautiful, eating food, and it is very convenient to go out to various attractions. Come to Yan'an, let us feel the meaning of revolutionary red, the hotel has added a warmth to our trip and the simplicity and friendliness of the people of Yan'an. I highly recommend staying at Qiyun Tingyue Hotel, and I will come to Yan'an in the future."

"Facilities: quite satisfactory Hygiene: Hygiene is quite clean Environment: The surrounding environment is very good, just next to Yangjialing, I saw the campus of Yan'an University on the window, the busier place is the sound insulation effect of floor-to-ceiling windows. Service: The front desk lady is very warm, the service is quite satisfactory, I recommend everyone to stay."

"My first trip to Yan'an Baotashan Hotel was a fantastic experience – so worry-free! The room was spacious and bright, and the two beds were just the right firmness for a good night's sleep. The floor was spotless, and the bathroom had a separate shower and toilet. Children's toiletries were available free of charge. Located in the city center, the hotel is very convenient, close to tourist attractions and food streets. The front desk helped with luggage storage and recommended nearby sightseeing routes. There's a self-service laundry room that's clean, safe, and hygienic. The lobby is cozy, the bedding is soft and comfortable, and there's plenty of hot water with stable pressure. The vanity mirror light is perfect for makeup. It's a 5-minute walk to Baotashan, and the surrounding area is full of delicious food. The front desk service was warm and attentive. I highly recommend the local popular snack shops – fast internet, great value, friendly staff, and prompt response to any needs. A top choice for your trip!"

"I stayed in the first room on the left after exiting the elevator on the fourth floor. The window was by the stairs. There was a slipper under the bed, which suggests they never clean under there. Upstairs, there must be a KTV because I could hear singing until 1 or 2 AM, which disturbed my sleep. Plus, there was a low-frequency noise, probably from some large equipment room near the unit. Parking was also quite tight, though that might have been due to the May Day holiday; I'm not sure what it's usually like. Now for the good points: The bathroom had a three-way split design (separate toilet, shower, and sink areas), and they provided face towels. The bedding was comfortable, and breakfast was plentiful. I'd recommend booking a higher floor to avoid the noise."
