This was my third stay at the Yili Hotel, and it has always felt great, like my own home in Yining. This time I came without my wife, so I skipped Building 2 and tried Building 6 instead. Building 6 has apartment-style rooms with a small kitchen where you can cook for yourself, which is very nice. The facilities in…
Yining Ili Hotel, formerly the site of the Russian and Soviet consulates. 🍃Environment: The hotel is surprisingly large. Driving in, towering ancient trees block out the sky, with several old Russian-style buildings hidden among them. Winding wooden boardwalks lead to secluded spots, with small bridges over flowing…
It's truly a hotel built within a garden, with ancient trees at least 80 years old. The Gulandam ice cream inside the hotel costs the same as on Liuxing Street. Building 6 has apartment-style rooms, suitable for families with multiple people, while Building 2 has newer hotel-style rooms.

Good to know
Does this hotel accept foreign guests?
Star-rated hotels — especially chains and anything four-star and above — almost always register foreign passports as routine. Smaller local hotels sometimes lack the foreign-guest license. Since 2024 hotels officially may not refuse foreign guests: if refused, call or SMS 12345. Book refundable when unsure.
How do I get there?
Show the big Chinese name above to any taxi or DiDi driver, or tap Find in Amap for turn-by-turn navigation. The Chinese name is what drivers read — English names are rarely recognized.
What does the star rating mean?
China's official hotel star rating is assessed by tourism authorities (GB/T 14308 standard): ★★★ = comfortable and reliable, ★★★★ = high-end with full services, ★★★★★ = luxury. It certifies quality, not foreign-guest policy — that's why we flag it separately.
How do I pay there?
Set up Alipay or WeChat Pay with your foreign Visa/Mastercard before you fly — QR payments work at virtually every hotel. Foreign credit cards are accepted at the front desk of most star-rated hotels. Full payments guide →
