Grand hotel in great location.

We were impressed with the hotel when we arrived from the outside. Grand huge reception hall and the rooms were also large. We stayed for 2 nights. The surrounding has lots of eateries and a huge supermarket. Check-in was fast but the WiFi was horrendous. We could not get signal in the room thus had to rely on our own data roaming. Like most hotels in China we had stayed most staff do not have a good command of English and do not understand us when we call for housekeeping assistance. This led to a lot of unhappiness when it seem they understood our request over the phone but after 20 agonizing minutes of no-show we had to call again and nobody seem to know what happened to our request or what we wanted.

沒有提供空調

I paid almost 5star amount for a night stay as my last day of the 16days trip, hotel is fine, but no Air Condition being provided during my stay due to environmental protection, that's 28 c degree on my arrival and they asked me to open the window instead. Fine, however, at the height of 13th floor, it's was so noisy during the whole night with car horns, police siren, and even fireworks from 1 am till 4am. Really bad situation cos, I tried to close it but then inside just alike an oven if closing that only window which can be halfly opened 我支付了近5星的住宿費用作為我16天旅行的最後一天，酒店很好，他們說由於環保所以在我們住宿期間沒有提供空調，我們到達時是28度，他們叫我打開窗口。在13樓的高度，整個晚上都是如此嘈雜，有汽車喇叭，警笛，甚至煙火從凌晨1點到凌晨4點。情況真的很糟糕，我試圖關窗，但然後內部就像一個烤箱，只有一 個可以半開的窗口。

We 5 people carried a lot of luggage, and missed one piece when checked out. The staffs of the hotel found that it was too late to send to the airport hence they sent one staff to carry the big luggage to Xi'an (our next stop) by train and delivered to us for free. They are unbelievable nice and I highly appreciate their help in my trip. I will strongly recommend the hotel to my friends.

On our way to Lhasa....

The hotel was very nice with updated rooms. Staff was courteous and pleasant. They would go out of their way to help us. Very few of the staff members could talk in English which was a little inconvenient but they would try to find someone who could communicate with us. The hotel amenities were efficient. Spa was very nice and relaxing with an extensive massage menu. The masseuse was well trained and did a great job with our deep relaxation massage. The area around the hotel had many shops and restaurants but the location of the hotel is far from the city centre and a little inconvenient

西寧最高級のホテルだが

ホテル従業員の対応もよく、辺境地西寧という立地を考えると贅沢過ぎる感あります。部屋にデラックス感やや欠け、ロビートイレが少し汚くて、バーのイタリアンの食事も美味しくなかったです（土地柄許したい気持ちもあります）。コストはパフォーマンス相応なのでおススメしますが、『ソフィテル』のブランドを保てるレベルではなかったのが残念です。

High end hotel with extraordinary breakfast buffet

I was comfortable here for three nights. Reception people were competent with English. Many services available, but I utilized only the gym. The gym was well equipped and available 24hours. The only problem I had in my stay was with the poor wifi. It was not possible for me to do any work that depended on access to the internet.
