Khách sạn 2 Sao tại Tân Cương, Trung Quốc

Không tệ, hiếm khi có được giấc ngủ ngon khi ở trong nhà trọ thanh niên. Đây là một căn hộ gác xép, có phòng tắm ở tầng dưới và mọi người sống trên gác mái, nhưng hơi xa phố ẩm thực thương mại, các trung tâm mua sắm thân thiện và Grand Bazaar. May mắn thay, phòng bốn người không quá ồn ào và mọi người tôi gặp đều rất tốt bụng nên tôi có một giấc ngủ ngon. Trước đây tôi có ấn tượng rất tệ về Nhà trọ thanh niên Tebo ở Yining. Có quá nhiều người ra vào mỗi ngày nên rất ồn ào. Nó chỉ phù hợp với những người đang cần tìm bạn đồng hành gấp. Những người ngủ ít không nên ở trong nhà trọ thanh niên có quá nhiều người.

First and foremost, this hotel accepts foreigners. The hotel is quite ok but not great. I booked a no-window non-smoking room (don’t do it, go for room with window) because I thought there is more chance people still smoke in non-smoking rooms with windows. The first room they gave me, put the key card on and electricity didn’t work. Waited for them to check with no result so I was relocated to another room. It’s non-smoking but I can clearly smell the smoke. Took 2 days for the smoke smell to go away which is a pity. The room is small but enough for a solo like me. Each floor they built 4 lines of rooms, the 2 middle lines stay wall-to-wall to each other and are the ‘no-window’ rooms. I would definitely recommend you to choose the room with window, because it means you don’t share a lot of ‘walls’ to other room and have a window to open at least for circulation if room is smelly or if room is too hot. In my case, my room smells smoke, and the room heater system only allows 34-37 degree celsius which is crazy! Very hot if turned on so I had to turn it off the whole time I stay at the hotel. Even though it is winter time, the whole hotel is already on heater. Unable to adjust room temperature is annoying because it means no air circulation. There is a blowing machine (similar to a fan) in the room but it is not efficient quickly enough. The room feels extremely suffocating. I did really wish for a window. Also because the no-window rooms share 3 walls with other rooms (not counting the upper floor), it’s more bad-luck chances for weird noise. In my case, I had to endure one whole freaking night with 2 loud Uyghur couples who cannot hold themselves back from banging the freak out and making all kinds of terrible terrible noise. Seems like no soundproof for these walls.

Chủ khách sạn rất hữu ích và thân thiện bất chấp rào cản ngôn ngữ của chúng tôi. Họ đưa tôi đi lấy tiền mặt và thẻ SIM. Giúp tôi đi đến bến xe và những việc linh tinh khác. Vị trí hơi xa một chút. Có thể khó bắt taxi và xung quanh không có nhiều nhà hàng nhưng bạn có thể nhờ chủ quán giúp đỡ. Họ sẵn sàng xuống địa ngục.

This hotel can accept foreigners. It is around 1km from Kuqa railway station which is walkable. I arrived very early (6AM). I took forever for check-in because the reception had minimal experience with foreign guests and asked too many (repetitive) questions. She inspected the passport even more thoroughly than the police in Kuqa that I encountered. She asked about the stamps of other countries as well (not sure why and what it has got to do with the hotel check-in). I had a previous Chinese visa which I repetitively said it was old and pointed to the new one, but she kept coming back to it and asking for more info again and again. After almost 30 mins, I was able to come to the room, still the reception came knocking 2 more times for more questions. The second time I had to politely gave a sign that I wanted to sleep for a bit because I had sightseeing to do a couple hours later. I don’t know if this is protocol for Kuqa. So far the most ‘questioning’ hotel which I only expected to happen in Hotan. I negotitated to check in early because I would check out very early the next day (4.30AM) to board the train to Kashgar. It took a while to negotiate but it was possible in the end. Clealiness is so so, not the best but acceptable. It was not a memorable stay but the room will suffice your comfort. Just wish the check-in process would be faster and simpler. 100rmb deposit at check-in which will be refund at check-out.

The boss is very friendly and welcoming! 😀 The room is clean and tidy. Bottled water is provided. Lots of eateries within a few minutes walk of the hotel. Great stay! Thank you, boss!
