Find Top Hostels in Kashgar City

Had to ask around to locate the hotel. Didn't realize it is on the same floor as the arrival hall of the airport. The receptionist is very pleasant and helpful. She orientated me patiently on the facility in the capsule. Felt like in a spaceship, comfortable, clean and secure. What a creative idea!

On my trip to Kashgar this time, I absolutely have to praise the Guilai Inn in the western district of Kashgar Old City. We arrived in Kashgar on the morning of July 6th and were about to embark on a three-day, two-night journey to the Pamir Plateau right after getting off the bus. On July 5th, before we left, I called the proprietress to ask if we could temporarily store our luggage. She was incredibly enthusiastic and immediately agreed. She also meticulously explained all the attractions along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway, introducing White Sand Lake, Khunjerab Pass, Panlong Ancient Road, and Bandir Lake in detail. After completing the plateau loop and checking into the inn, the proprietress specially arranged a quiet room for us. Afterward, she introduced us to the attractions along the 'Extreme West' one-day tour. When I returned from the 'Extreme West' tour, I chatted with the proprietress and she learned that we would be leaving Kashgar early the next morning. She not only enlightened us with the humanistic stories of Kashgar Old City but, fearing I wouldn't be familiar with it on my own, personally took me on a tour through the old city streets. The inn is right next to a lively food street, bustling with lights, yet it's very quiet inside. It's very convenient to walk to the mosque and the main gate of the Old City. The transportation is extremely convenient, making it easy for tour agency drivers to pick us up and drop us off. For accommodation in Kashgar, the western district of the Old City is the top choice. Its rich local atmosphere and the innkeeper's warm service make every aspect incredibly comfortable.

I arrived at 11 PM, and it was impossible to get a taxi. By the time I finally got one, it was almost midnight, and I reached the hotel past 12:30 AM. The staff member (little brother, as we say in China) was still waiting for me and came out to greet me. It was during the Eid al-Adha holiday, so there weren't many people around, which made his wait even more dedicated. He waited for me and then went home. The owner even upgraded my room. The moment I walked in, it was stunning – even at night, you could feel the exotic charm. Funnily enough, the wardrobe door led to the bathroom in the larger room, which was a nice surprise. Overall, it felt very retro and impressive. And it was super safe; I even went out on my first day without locking the door and nothing happened. The owner was also out enjoying the holidays, so it felt like I had the whole big villa to myself these past few days! Many people come here just to take photos. If there were more guests and the owner was around, I'm sure it would be even more fun with lots of activities. After all, such a beautiful house must be cared for by someone truly dedicated. I hope to stay here again next time. My only regret is that I was alone and no one was there to take good photos of me, but I still managed to get some great shots!

Loved staying here. I recommend people stay here if they want to appreciate clean environment.
