Alternatively you can take the taxi straight from the airport which should cost ¥40, you should tell the taxi to take this route: Wàihuán(外环)- Běijīng Lù(北京路) - Sūzhōu Lù(苏州路) - Shìzhèngfǔ(市政府)Nánhú(南湖). From the train station you can take either the number 8 or 58 bus to Beimen Medicine Company and then take the number 73 bus; You can also take the taxi for ¥15 to 186 Nanhu Rd S

A nice hostel with a good atmosphere, a nice common area and a good lawn. Laundry, travel information, free Wi-Fi and free water are available. Both the large and small dorms can be feel a bit cramped when they are full. Not clean - hallways are dingy, smoking is allowed in the building, all toilets are squatters which smell quite bad..

Youth Hotel
Shaybake district, Yangzijiang Rd, beside Wulumuqishi Shayibake people's Government building 乌鲁木齐市 沙依巴克区
+86 0991-4509-766, 7730098
Double with bath ¥90 / without bath ¥70 Single with bath ¥80 / without bath ¥60. Ask for discounts.
Coordinates: 43.47955 8735717

A Chinese guesthouse which doubles as both a Youth Hostel and a Brothel, with very little guests being travellers July 2011 - most people seems to be travellers, not a bad option to the other expensive YHA's. Relativly cheap, but the rooms are small. WiFi in some rooms and fans available. Laundry ¥10 per load. The owners/managers speak no English, but can understand sign language - if you call, you may want to have a Mandarin speaker to make a booking. 2012-09-19 got kicked out at 10pm because of a police check, looks like they not really can take foreigners. The owner told me that some law had changed she didnt know about, cant say if true or bs. Wandered the streets for an hour to find another cheep hotel in the area that would take foreigners

Hung Fu hotel
160 WuYi Rd
From ¥600

A downtown 5 star hotel that can offer good value in comparison to the upmarket chains. Opened in 1998 it is starting to show its age just a little weak a/c, temperamental showers. Service is excellent however. Rooms are modern and have some character, and occupy floors 12-28 hence offer nice views of the city.
