Kaibang Hotel Geermu

When walking into this former “Swiss Touch Hotel” you feel yourself thinking, the Swiss touch is gone by now. But once you see the breakfast buffet, just wow! Full 5 star breakfast with all Western and Asian breakfast foods you like, good baked goods, eggs to order, even a cheese platter. Even fresh Pork knuckle! The best breakfast in all our Qinghai journey, and that in such an out of the way town.

Room air-conditioning is terrible, central chiller is not functioning. F&B wise, only one non hotel operated Chinese restaurant within the hotel with horrible waiting time. However, breakfast wise is surprisingly very good by local standard.

This is one of the better quality options in Golmud (there aren’t many). The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was good. Unfortunately, the service was very poor - there were no functioning USB ports in the room and the hotel was unhelpful - seeming unwilling or unable able to offer a solution. The “room service” is actually takeaway food delivered from outside the hotel but no cutlery/chopsticks was provided with it. When we asked the hotel to provide some, it took nearly 20 minutes to arrive (longer than the food itself), by which time the food was getting cold. We had to ask repeatedly for sufficient drinking water, having only been provided two small bottles for two people. Aside from the poor service, the hotel is in an odd location, surrounding by closed shops and building sites - nowhere near the commercial centre of the city - with nothing within walking distance. With the right management, it could be an excellent hotel, but it’s not quite there at the moment.

- laundry service: I don't understand how an hotel rated 5* does not propose laundry service, even from outside for a fee... There's only 3 machines available to clean your clothes yourself so it's pretty busy, only one have a "drying" function. At least 2 of the machines are leaking so the laundry room is extremely slippery. - Hot shower in the room is not stable and turn suddenly cold to burning hot. - Breakfast proposed a large choice but the quality is very low. Sausages are cold. Jiaozi are very dry and lukewarm. - Hospitality: I never saw the employees smile, except the cleaning lady. The general attitude is pretty rude and not inviting, except from the manager and one man helping me scheduling a tour. I was reminded twice by a call, 3h and 1h before leaving, to checkout on time. Super rude. Never experienced that before and it really felt they were in hurry to throw me out. + The room are big though. Conclusion: Generally speaking, it's a 2 to 3* quality hotel. But even 3* have a better hospitality. If they could improve the attitude, like in other province of China that would be ok.

非常棒的住宿體驗！位置優越，交通便利。前台服務專業熱情，入住高效。房間整潔舒適，設施齊全好用（尤其床品舒服、網速快）。衞生滿分，安靜隔音。員工服務周到，響應迅速。整體性價比極高，無論是商務還是休閑都強烈推薦！下次來一定還住這裏。

這是格爾木當地應該是最好的一個酒店了，前台小任服務特別好，熱情而為顧客着想 ，服務特別到位，酒店的早餐非常豐盛，達到了省會城市五星級的標準。這是這次青甘大環線住的性價比最高的一個酒店。總而言之，非常非常滿意。。
