Hotele z: Pools w Inner Mongolia, China

I chose this hotel for my last night in Hohhot. I initially booked a room with a 120-inch screen for my child to watch TV, but then realized it had no window. The hotel staff were great; they upgraded my room for free and even gave us two complimentary breakfasts. The hotel itself is lovely, and the breakfast spread is fantastic. It's located right in the city center, which makes shopping and exploring super convenient, surrounded by bustling malls. I highly recommend it! Whatever we needed, they were always quick to respond. I'm truly impressed with the service at this price point.

My stay at the Xiangshawan Lotus Hotel was absolutely perfect, comfortable and pleasant throughout. The biggest surprise was the hotel's dining, which completely exceeded my expectations. The hotel is located deep in the desert, with its pure white lotus shape making it highly recognizable. The rooms have excellent lighting and views. The all-inclusive policy was a real convenience; the Sand Island and Joyful Sand Island attractions offered unlimited play with a wristband, and the exclusive skip-the-line access for guests saved a lot of waiting time. The evening activities like bonfires and stargazing created a fantastic atmosphere. The staff were warm and attentive, with meticulous and thoughtful services like luggage handling and inter-island shuttle buses, ensuring a hassle-free experience throughout our desert trip.

There are also various entertainment facilities at the Blue Lotus Hall, where the 'Yue Lian Hui' (Leaping Lotus Club) allows children to experience the excitement of competition and the joy of winning. I must particularly praise the food: the breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffets offered a rich and balanced selection of dishes. The authentic Inner Mongolian beef and lamb were tender and free of ***** taste, with hand-pulled lamb and freshly roasted lamb chops tasting truly authentic. For breakfast, the Mongolian milk tea and dairy products had an authentic flavor, and the hotpot for dinner featured fresh and ample ingredients. Chinese and Western hot dishes, desserts, fruits, and beverages were available in unlimited quantities throughout the day. The Shalian Hall also provided self-service snacks and drinks from day to night. Despite being in the dry desert, the food quality was consistently high, with timely replenishment of ingredients and stable flavors. Every meal was satisfying, and we didn't have to worry about finding food elsewhere.

This trip was extremely satisfying and definitely worth a special visit. I will choose the Lotus Hotel again next time.

Cleanliness: Even though it's an older, established Chinese brand hotel, the cleanliness has always been exceptionally well-maintained. The room was full of thoughtful touches; as soon as I entered, I noticed the turndown service with milk 🥛, which immediately made a great impression. Service: The service was exceptionally gentle and friendly, truly making guests feel at home. When the security staff needed to move my car, they were also very polite and courteous, not making me feel uncomfortable at all. This hotel truly exceeded my expectations. Next time I'm in Hohhot, I'll definitely stay here again!

I went to Xiangshawan with my kids and compared a few hotels. The other three were all-inclusive, but since my kids are older, they'd have to pay extra, and they weren't really interested in the activities at Xiansha Island, so I chose this one instead. We drove to the Hualian Tourist Resort reception center to check in. After getting our wristbands and handing over our luggage to the staff, we took Cable Car No. 3 to the island. I added the butler on WeChat and contacted them after getting off the cable car to arrange a shuttle. The jeep shuttle drove quite fast, which the kids loved. They said our luggage would take 2-3 hours to arrive, but it actually came about half an hour after we got to our room. Because I left a note when booking asking for a quiet room, we were assigned to Zone 3, which is quite far away. It was a bit of a walk in and out. I noticed most guests around us had kids; some played late into the night, others woke up early to play, so I guess no matter where you stay, it won't be perfectly quiet. The room facilities were pretty good, and the space was quite large. The bathroom was very similar to those in Japanese hotels. There was a wooden drying rack, which many people moved outside their doors to air-dry their swimsuits overnight. The service was excellent. The WeChat butler answered all my questions promptly. The only issue was the light and noise affecting sleep; it was as bright as midday at 6 AM. Luckily, I had brought my own eye mask and earplugs.

Staying at the Shangri-La Hohhot was much better than I expected. The hotel's age doesn't show at all; all facilities are updated and feel brand new. Both the rooms and public areas are impeccably clean. The location is right in the city center, with Qingcheng Park and MixC (The MixC Shopping Mall) just a stone's throw away, and other attractions are also easily accessible, which is very convenient. I loved the room's view. During my two-day stay, both the front desk and room service staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and thoughtful, making me feel right at home. The Horizon Club benefits, including the afternoon tea and evening light meals, are definitely worth trying; I really enjoyed chatting with the ladies serving there. The breakfast spread is rich and of excellent quality. Besides the regular buffet, they also offer famous local shaomai and authentic Mongolian dishes, which I highly recommend.

I'm so glad we booked our stay inside the Xiangshawan Desert Scenic Area! It made everything so incredibly easy. Each room came with 6 bottles of water, and the air conditioning was already on before we even arrived. Even though it's a yurt, the interior space is very large, and the private bathroom is super clean. The hotel's services were all excellent. The all-inclusive meals were not at all superficial; each meal featured local specialties like lamb offal soup, savory milk tea, and plenty of beef and lamb. The quality was on par with outside restaurants, and we all agreed their milk tea was the best we had during our entire trip. After a fun day exploring the two islands, returning to the hotel wasn't boring at all. In the evenings, there were disco parties, firework displays, and stargazing. Every event was well-organized and very entertaining. It truly lived up to its nickname, 'Desert Disney'! Definitely worth the trip!

I really enjoyed the charming courtyard setting; it felt very cozy and comfortable to stay in. We drove all the way from Ulanqab, and as we planned to visit Lvshuiliang the next day, we searched for nearby options and booked this guesthouse. It's a traditional rural-style courtyard, very clean and well-maintained. There weren't many other guests, and the room amenities were quite comprehensive.

The room was really great! Before coming, I was a bit worried about the facilities since I saw the hotel was built around 2015, but it completely exceeded my expectations. We had a luxury city-view twin room, and the bedding was clean and comfortable. The room size was decent, and while the bathroom facilities weren't brand new, they definitely weren't as old as some online reviews suggested. The breakfast variety was quite good, and you could also have a seafood buffet for dinner, which also offered a good selection. The pool was nice too. My friends and I stayed for two nights with our kids and had a wonderful time. The best part is its proximity to Wanda Plaza. It's super convenient for watching movies, karaoke, dining, and shopping. It's also quite close to the new Inner Mongolia Museum, about 3 kilometers away. Da Zhao Temple and Sai Shang Old Street are probably 7-8 kilometers away, which isn't too far under normal circumstances, though it might take 30-40 minutes if you hit traffic. There's a subway station right outside the hotel, but we didn't use it as parking at the hotel was very convenient for our car. Hygiene: Excellent Facilities: Excellent Environment: Excellent Service: Mostly good, though the staff weren't overly enthusiastic, their response time was very quick. Robot delivery for meals and takeout is available.

The room was clean and comfortable, and being on a high floor, the view was great! There was even a fan station with concert support cards, and the service attitude was super good! However, on the first morning, I was woken up at 9 am by the engineering department knocking on the door, and then again after 10 am when they delivered fruit and dairy products… Such a shame, especially since I'm lactose intolerant 😅😅 Well, thank you anyway, haha!

The service was great; they proactively upgraded my room and even offered welcome fruits and bedtime milk. They were also very accommodating with a late check-out. However, the hotel's decor and facilities are a bit old-fashioned, and there aren't many good shops or restaurants nearby, so the value for money isn't great.
