Urumqi Xiyu Harbour Youth Hostel

La posizione e la sala comune sono davvero buone. Il personale è cordiale. La stanza in sé era un po' vecchia e puzzava di fumo. Non c'è aria condizionata, solo un ventilatore davvero vecchio. L'ingresso è difficile da trovare, è la porta proprio dall'ingresso principale del centro commerciale.

Ho soggiornato solo una notte nel dormitorio, quindi non posso dire molto. +) La sala comune è davvero bella +) Lo staff è stato cordiale +) Non è lontano dalla metropolitana -) Lo staff non parlava inglese -) È stato difficile trovare l'ingresso dell'edificio in cui si trovava l'ostello (guarda la foto dall'esterno!) -) Il wifi era così pessimo che non l'ho usato (continuava a disconnettersi e riconnettersi -) Niente carta igienica -) Niente asciugamani inclusi -) Abbastanza polveroso sotto il letto

Location is good, just a couple of hundred meters from the Sports centre metro station which is a direct line from Urumqi airport. The building has a security officer, register with passport to gain access to the 10th floor. The hostel receptionist is helpful and there's a lounge to chill. The10 people's room is spacious but the bathroom needs some cleaning.

Hostel is about 5 - 7 minutes away from the "Sports Centre" metro station, which is about 25+ minutes from the airport. The hostel entrance is next to the Tesla shop, and you have to press the buzzer, for the security guard to open the gate for you. Then, after writing your name down in the guest-book, you go up to the 10th floor in the lift. (Check the other reviews here, for a picture of the gate/door to the building) The staff speak little to no English, but they are very helpful. They will try to solve your issues, as long as you patient with the translation software. Also, it is difficult for staff to check you in, if you do not have a contact number or Alipay/Wechat contact. (This is a CN Govt requirement) The dorm rooms are basic and you may get the city views. There are no privacy curtains and there was no air-con, in my one. The hostel staff can provide fans, but we did not need any, as it was still cool at night. The beds are OK. There is a bathroom in the dorm room too, but there was almost no privacy for the bathroom, as there was a gap between the door for others to see and you can see through the frosted glass into the bathroom too! The hostel is relatively clean, quiet and well-located, except there may be other local guests, who are loud and smoke sometimes in the other rooms. Next to the hostel is a nice up-market shopping centre and with really lots to eat, in the food-court on the 3rd floor.

I would definitely come again!

good place
