Urumqi Flora Secret Realm Hotel (Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar Branch)

The hotel has a great location: a brisk 5-7-minute walk from the metro (exit A). The route itself is interesting: on the left and right are entrances to the Grand Bazaar and plenty of street vendors selling fruit, food, clothing, and souvenirs. The hotel was unusual for us as tourists. When you open your room, the curtains automatically open, and you hear a voice message in Chinese. We didn't understand what it meant, though. The room was large, beautiful, and comfortable, with good beds, a huge TV, and panoramic windows. The courtyard view means the windows overlook other hotel windows through a narrow pedestrian walkway with a transparent roof, allowing you to see other guests—and they can see you. Although our silhouettes weren't very clear, we still felt uneasy, so we asked to change rooms. We were upgraded to a room with smaller windows. The sink was separate in the room, and the bathroom had only a toilet and shower. The toilet didn't have a flush button; it flushed automatically and had a small blue light, which was convenient if you want to use it at night in the dark. At first, we were very disappointed that the room didn't have a refrigerator (minibar), as stated in the room description, as we had strictly chosen a hotel with a minibar. At reception, we were told we could put food in their refrigerator. As compensation, they allowed us to check out a little later for free. Also cheese yoghurts «Tea Ballet» were offered every day. They were very tasty and of good quality. There are several robots roaming inside the hotel, but we didn't understand their function either. You can pick up some essentials for your stay on the ground floor (tea, sleeping masks, hair elastics, and other suitable stuff). We really enjoyed the breakfasts. The selection wasn't huge compared to other hotels, but they were all well-prepared and delicious. The food wasn't too spicy, with pleasant seasonings, good milk tea, corn, etc., which gave the impression of a healthy meal. We had a few small suggestions regarding the room: it would have been very helpful to have more towel racks in the bathroom and a bit more storage space for clothes. Also, we noticed there were no forks available during breakfast, which was a little inconvenient. We believe addressing these small details would make the guest experience even better. Thank you for your hospitality!

Highly recommended. It’s clean, in the best location with everything around. 35 minutes away from airport without traffic.

Good hotel with a central location, good breakfast, and also international guests. However, communication is difficult and you need to rely on a translation app.

It's a nice hotel close to Grand Bazar. As an international tourist it is difficult to communicate with the staff due to their limited English. Same for breakfast, it is all Chinese and nothing that you find in western breakfast. You have to take it as part of traveling. however the staff tries their hardest to make your stay comfortable.

Very nice hotel it's in international grand bazzar and the staff is very kind gaven us more one hour for checking out i advice any person when visiting the urumqi to stay in this hotel it's deserve 5 stars

The best hotel in Urumqi . Very friendly staff . Late check out and early check in . Thx so much

It was great, although we didn't have enough time for breakfast, we were able to sleep well and fuel our energy to the airport and catch a flight the next morning.

Clean and comfortable hotel. The room was tidy and well maintained. The location is excellent, with many shops nearby and close to the food street. You can easily walk to the Grand Bazaar. Overall, a very convenient and pleasant stay.

Thank you for the hotel staff, the room was clean, the rooms are new, and equipped with new furniture and bathroom facilities.
