Xining Hostels

"Nice room with view from neighborhood. It's 30min walk from downtown but there are plenty of restaurants and markets nearby. I was the only guest during the 4 nights I was there, so not much of an atmosphere despite the nice social areas. The heating system (underfloor) works only in the night so it's a bit chill during the day. There are hot showers and possibly of doing laundry (10yuan a load)."

"Sheng 45 Is located a 25 minute walk from city attractions and a 15+ minute taxi ride to the train and bus stations. Around 8am and 5pm, traffic is terrible because of parents picking up their kids at the nearby school. The Good The best part was the social experience. A couple volunteers were very friendly. They played games and watched movies with us in the communal area on the ground floor. It is a great place to meet people. The Bad While the dorm bed and room were comfortable, there were significant issues elsewhere. The door to the room made loud noises whenever entering and exiting that disturbed sleep. Someone kept the door to the roof outside open, permitting the toxic stench from the nearby auto shop inside as well as street noise and humidity. There was only one functioning squat toilet on the third floor in a dirty bathroom with little privacy—one of the doors wouldn’t close."

"在生活中浮沉時我們只是活著，那時我們都是愛窺探他人幸福的人。可我們踏上旅途，我們渴望找到屬於自己的那份安寧。 我找到了那份安寧。在青庭。 我可以毫無顧忌的講遇到的糗事，和各種奇奇怪怪卻有趣極了的人待在一起總歸是幸福的。我卸掉所有負擔，靈魂輕輕。 熱情健談略嘴毒但刀子嘴豆腐心的二哥、看似內斂沉默實則悶騷細膩且會跳宇將軍嚴選科目三的老漠、會做好吃掛麵的泉州大哥、嫵媚至極的酒泉哥、一人一拖鞋勇闖拉薩的福建妹、狂喝酸奶結果拉肚子到虛脫的泉州哥、坐50個小時硬座仍容光煥發的輕裝棗莊弟。 我遇到的每一個人都奇奇怪怪。可是我好喜歡你們這群***。**總愛在冬天發病。如果永遠無法理解世俗的幸福，就讓我們一起在春天來臨之前和友人跳海，再短暫的當幾日不需考慮任何事情的**。 徹夜長談後，我意識到不是每種人生都需要活的很正確。三天只睡了不到五個小時，因為完全捨不得放過任何一個有趣的靈魂和動人的故事。這次我要坦蕩的分享和記錄自己的感受，我再也不想也不要謹慎地去營造快樂灑脫了。 今天我離開西寧，坐在搖搖晃晃的通往格爾木的火車上，纍纍的。我不知道天亮以後的可可西里之旅會是怎樣的魔幻，可是當我寫到這裏，把在青庭發生的故事細細整理後，我感到心裏的恐懼一點點退卻。 我一定要銘記這一刻。無堅不摧的感覺。 謝謝所有人。 愛大家，愛大家。"

"Excellent hostel! Enthusiastic and friendly young owners who welcomed me with social activities and evening hotpot. The location is excellent, 15 minutes walk between train and bus stations and the mosques. Easy access by bus to Kumbum monastery. Showers are hot and there was a washing machine but I didn't use this. Minor drawbacks: it's a cold hostel so you need to wear layers inside, and the cleanliness is only average. Overall, it's a really good budget hostel and I'd stay again for sure."

"The hostel is fancy and staff so nice. The bed is soft and clean, but toilet a little smell of urine. The room is big and comfortable with a sofa, a desk to work or read book. Good place to meet up new people"

"西寧的大多數青旅好像都會晚上唱歌或者聊天到很晚，我第一天在另一家青旅，吵得睡不着，第二天就換來了青海行，也是比較老的一家青旅，但晚上比其他的安靜多了，感覺床鋪乾淨得多，蟲子也少，睡得舒服得多。老闆人也很好，需要旅遊攻略可以直接問，對青海很熟!"
