Fairfield by Marriott Xining North

The room was clean and comfortable. Quiet. The breakfast is very good with many options that change daily. The staff were very helpful and easy to deal with. Very much enjoyed my stay. There are restaurants and supermarket very close to property.

It’s a bit far out from the center. About 10-15mins by taxi.

Staff tried to help but unfortunately could not do much

- wrong room in beginning with two single beds - New room air conditioning and fridge not working plus facing very noisy construction site - Breakfast: only instant coffee no other coffee - Staff does not speak English at all - Aircondition in room only turned on from 7-11:30pm. Room heated up to more than 26 degrees without any possibility to cool it down. Made sleeping almost impossible - Changed room to smaller one but at least not facing directly construction site - Smoking in lobby and restroom even in room so smell through venitilation. Even in breakfast area constantly cigarette smell came in as everyone is smoking everywhere in the hotel

The staff were very kind and helped me when I was unwell. Even though we didn’t share the same language it was possible to communicate using translation tools. Thank you for your invaluable assistance! Great location for local museums.

A laundry service would have been ideal

The property is listed on booking.com as 2 star, but I would think of it more like 3 star. The location is a bit away from the centre, but there are plenty of restaurants nearby, and there is ample parking available. The staff are very friendly and helpful, as are most Chinese service organisations. The rooms are reasonable size to spread out with a few suitcases. Breakfast is Chinese style, but there is ample choice and a self-service coffee automat with various styles of coffee.

The two rooms we had in the group both had a somewhat strange layout, with full view of the toilet the moment you enter the door. Can lead to embarrassing moments if not properly managed. The entire hotel seemed to have a somewhat dated atmosphere. Our "view" was a construction site next door with the crane driver around our window level.

Great hotel, big and clean room, good chinese and western breakfast. Staff is very kind and very helpful.
