With no access to the internet, sms or international calls in Xinjiang, staff were really helpful keeping my friends informed when my flight was delayed. Unfortunately my stay wasn\'t so comfortable... rooms were cold and too bright from corridor lights, and the shower rooms seemed to be permanently locked, so I had to ask reception for a key. I moved to Maitian where my friends were, which was warmer and more comfortable, and the ensuites had western toilets.

This is a nice place and a good value. The staff is very helpful and the location is great. Though it's far from the train station and may be a bit of a challenge to get to by bus if you can't read or speak Chinese, it's near Carrefour and a pleasant park. There is still no internet in Xinjiang, so you might want to print out your reservation if you book online.

Great place! Pretty convenient location once you know how to get to the place. Lots of connecting buses to all around the city. Only thing is that it\'s a bit warm as there weren\'t enough fans in the room.

During the recent rioting in Urumqi, the staff did a great job advising us and keeping us safe. The staff is great with directions as well. I highly recommend this hostel. Make sure you get the map off the hostel site as the hostel is extremely difficult to find and not well known in the city.
