Yunbo Youth Hotel (Urumqi High-speed Railway Station)

Very nice clean place. Close to bus terminal and the major train station. Far to the international grand bazaar and the museum. I would stay for its cleanness. Quiet place goid night sleep. Friendly people.

This hostel is very fun there is a shared living room inside it and the hostel is very close to the train station. Also the rooms are big and the bed is very comfortable

I did not have the best stay at this hostel, but it could have been due to unique circumstances. When i arrived in the middle of the night, the owner(or senior staff idk) was drinking and smoking with his friends in the commons. Whilst I was checking in with another staff member, they discussed among themselves where I could be from based on my appearance. As a young woman traveling alone, I found this moment quite unpleasant. I had booked the 4 people's dorm. They happened to be no other guests in the dorm that night. It was nice to have the room for myself. However, the room had not been cleaned up. My bed had been made, but on the trash was some trash and laying around. The previous guests had also smoked in the room. They had left their sigarettes floating in a noodle pot and the room stinking. I asked for another room. The tipsy owner first denied the room smelled, till we stood in front of the floating sigarettes. There was no other room available, so i slept there. By morning, the commons looked like a different hotel. There was a friendly and professional lady at the desk who checked me out. She also kept my luggage for the day, which was very convenient. For anyone who has never been in Urumuqi before, this is not the city center. The hotel is located in a tower close to Ulumuqi train station. It's convenient if you're hoping on or off the train, but you'll need a taxi to get you to part of the city worth visiting. Overall, I had a terrible experience, but it's probably not how most travellers would experience this hostel. And, it's quite cheap.
