Jiuquan Hotel — Hotel in Jiuquan

Reception and check in was quick, with friendly porter taking my bags to room on ninth floor in tower one. The room had a smoke aroma, and stained carpets. There was no hotel manual in the drawer, or brochure. There were no small washcloths. The drain in bathtub would not open.|There was no stocked mini bar. The fridge made a rumbling disturbing noise. There was a constant noise of running water in the pipes in the wall, and disturbed my nights sleep. The walls also dont have the necessary soundproofing or insulation, to prevent noise such as TV, people talking, etc from the adjacent room. The breakfast in terms of Western taste, had only apple a a fruit. There was no cereal or fresh salad, or cold milk. No fresh brewed coffee either. There was also a chilly feeling in the bathroom.

Room decor was average. Doesn't appear like the windows were cleaned from the outside in quite a while. Insufficient outlets, only one by desktop and none near the beds. There was also no hotel service book in the room or the drawers.|All in all a good...

This is probably the best hotel in Jiuquan. We had a welcome banner at the front of the hotel, with welcome hot towel and tea. Rooms were clean and spacious but outdated. The bathroom needs to be upgraded. We had a corner room with great view of the city. Wi fi was only available at the lobby.||Breakfast was great with international and local spreads. Hand made noodles were excellent.||High end shopping malls and night market within walking distance of hotel.||When we departed, the staff bid us farewell and walked us to our tour bus.||Only setback was the smoke at the lobby.
