Yining Backpacker Youth Hostel

Overall a really nice social hostel in Yining. Had a really nice vibe to it, no one spoke any english but the communication was still strong. Great facilities. The staff went out of their way to make sure I had a good time. My main issue is that the mattress was extremely hard which made it difficult to have a comfortable and restful sleep. The location is close to the train station but sadly pretty far away from the city centre. It would also be good if there was more information available in terms of where to go / what to do in the area!

Quality stay for solo traveller (men) , individual women(not suitable for women that like to comment). For me , I have stay at university hostel before. I know hostel can’t be too perfect. This hostel in my opinion already 5 star because it manage to make the bed as clean as 5 star hotel , the area at shoe rack might not perfect but overall is the best when compared to 4 star hotel. Malaysian who want to explore xinjiang, this is the place (Rm27 per night only , it is more than u needed)

Near Railway station, quiet and Social hostel. Good for staying few days.

They don’t have a towel, just small towel with 10yuan.

Very pleasant place. Beds are big, good lockers, clean showers, nice common area and helpful staff

I only stayed one night. The place seemed clean. Very large, with lots of people to meet. Mostly young Students. I met some, they were very welcoming. I will return and spend more time. There is a lobby/reception area where there is a pool table and you can play recreational games with friends and socialise. Also there is some instant food, such as noodles available for purchase. I would recommend this Hostel - great place to meet people. I will return one day when I come back to Yining
