Xingcheng Hotel (Jiayuguan City Hotel)

Very impressed with that hotel and the staff. Good location relatively close to the fortress and on the way to the wall. Plenty of food options around and more within 1 Km around. The staff at the reception were so helpful. No English spoken but with all the apps communication is not a big issue. It just take more time 🤔😅 The room was big. Great bathroom. A lot of space and storage available. Good air conditioning system. Breakfast was simply delicious and every day there were different items available. Not much western food but anyway Chinese food is healthier. Staff there was lovely. The fitness area is a bit minimalist. Self laundry is available and works great. I will return for sure. A Personal tip to people visiting Jiayuguan: I suggest getting to the wall first thing in the morning after breakfast. Taxis is the only option.In July 2024 the price I paid (Meter as usual) was 26 Yuans. After visiting that place take a taxi to the fortress (Jiayu pass) as it is on the way to the city anyway. The cost was 11 Yuans and it is very close to the fortress unlike the main ticket office located 2 Km away (where the bus nr 4 stops). Further tip if you like HotPot restaurants the NanjiaXiang is a great choice at a very reasonable price. It is 800 meters away from the hotel.

The room was clean and spacious, with a comfortable bed and a large flat-screen TV. The bathroom was also clean and well-equipped with a shower and bathtub. The hotel's Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, which was great for staying connected with family and friends back home.

The staff were helpful and friendly. The restaurant on site was very good. The breakfast restaurant on a different floor was mediocre. The front desk arranged for a driver to take us out to the historic Great Wall sites and he was great and affordable.

The hotel is conveniently located in the city centre. Plenty of shops and convenient stores around. Though we only ate at the restaurant (L3) located in the same building as the hotel which is very handy. Food was delicious. Breakfast is ok. Just a quick bite to keep you going. Staff were friendly and helpful at all times. Rooms were clean and bed were comfortable. Did an overnight stay as that is sufficient enough for visiting the sights. Would recommend this hotel.

The 5-road junction in front of the hotel might look intimidating but my room facing it was quiet and fine. It was in fact convenient for call-cabs, walks to nearby restaurants, pharmacy, convenient shops etc. The main commercial street & Jingtie Food Centre is about 5-10mins walk away. Very helpful staff for travel enquiries- book a taxi through them for the circuit tour of the top 3 sights (Jiayuguan Fort, Hanging Great Wall & The First Beacon Tower of the Great Wall) - free and easy 5-hr plus return trip.

Great hotel! Clean and spacious rooms. The staff are really accommodating and helpful, and had no trouble using translators to communicate. Plenty of water was provided and the room was cleaned daily. Breakfast has lots of options. The location was perfect, maybe 25min to the train, 20min to the Fort, 30min to the Great Wall. There was really delicious and cheap food at several restaurants right around the corner from the hotel. The people in Jiayuguan were super kind and helpful too, so we had no trouble ordering at the restaurants despite our lack of Chinese language skills.

Nice rooms
