Potu E-sports Hostel

This youth hostel is absolutely fantastic! As a solo traveler, I was blown away by the new, modern facilitiesand the super convenient central location. Everything was clean, well-organized, and designed with travelers in mind. Highlights: ✔ Great amenities– They have laundry machines, a lifesaver!) and even a vending machine for snacks and essentials. ✔ Superb common area– Spacious, stylish, and perfect for meeting other travelers. ✔ Prime location– Close to public transport, attractions, and great food spots. I had an amazing stay and would 100% recommend this hostel to anyone, especially solo adventurers. Will definitely be back!

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at in China — and the best in Xinjiang! Super clean, comfy bed, great shower pressure, and a perfect location close to everything. It was also really quiet — I slept so well, and it’s been a while since I could say that. I wish I could’ve stayed longer. The lockers are huge — you can even fit a big backpack! Free drinking water and laundry are a great bonus too.

Reception staff was really lovely Often had problems with room key Bathroom had a smell - especially the male toilet had a stench

Second time I come to stay. Very clean, and washing machine dryer provided.

Excellent hostel to stay at in Urumqi, which they also provide washing machine and dryer. Highly recommend it.

The staff is incredibly kind, helpful and friendly. The rooms and common areas felt super clean - particularly the beds. Some places just have a pleasant clean feel to them, and this is definitely one of those places. Additionally one is provided with a free toothbrush, hair comb, disposable towel etc. The washing machines and dryers are also free to use - a travellers dream come true. However: If you have ever used to bathroom at Stansted airport in the United Kingdom, you know how bad toilets can smell… At least that’s what I thought before coming to this hostel. The stench in the bathrooms (the male bathroom at least) was on a whole new level, I couldn’t even have dreamt of in my worst nightmares m. Never in my life have I had such fowl air enter my nostrils. I shall not proceed to describe the smell because I simply lack the words to do so. You will yearn for an oxygen tank in there. When I arrived, in their defence, there was a sewage issue. However, the smell continued to haunt the bathroom (and me) even when sewage issue was fixed. Perhaps part of it can be attributed to some of the guests having difficulties using the squat toilets - and the infrequent cleaning of accidents. Often times there is fecal matter on the floor - be it hard lumps by the side of the toilets or in liquid form exploded onto the floor and walls. Watch out you don’t slip in it! Besides this quite substantial issue - and the consequent inability to shave, dry my hair, brush my teeth and quite frankly breathe in the bathroom , I had a pleasant stay. A hostel with so much potential.
