Sofitel Xining

Property is nice, but overall experience is not worth the money. Organisation of parking lot is a disaster, massive lines at Checkin (waiting time exceeds 20 minutes), breakfast with extremely limited choices of healthy dishes and chaotic organisation, happy-hour in lounge with limited choices (meat only). Promised bathroom amenities turned out to be cheap copies of European products. Management is clearly not able to handle the masses.

When we arrived it was hard to communicate in English, which we hadn’t expected from a European luxury hotel chain. Butthen a lady with excellent English was called and everything went very smoothly. Our first room had a smell of smoke, so she apologized and even gave us a suite! It was very spacious, clean and comfortable, furnished in Frenchstyle with two bathrooms, living room and bedroom. The breakfast buffet was very good, too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

It was surprising that my meal was nothing like what I ordered. I guess the expectation of it being one of the better restaurants in Xining that made me feel like I'd been ripped off when I left. I guess I could have returned the food but I ate it and left. All I can say is dont expect in terms of quality much but do expect to pay when the bill arrives.

excellent hotel with generous room upgrade. the whole building has been well designed both exteriorly and interiorly. the hors d oeuvres food has been great with massive meat load. the room has been very clean.

me hospedo en este hotel en cada viaje de negocios. Excelente opción para llegar e ir al aeropuerto ya que no tienes que internarte en la ciudad para llegar, sino queda cerca a la autopista. Los cuartos son limpios y modernos. El personal habla Ingles, algo difícil de encontrar en Xining. Definitivamente me quedare ahí la siguiente vez
