Ordos Luxury Getaway: GreenTree Inn Kangbashi's Hidden Gem!

Okay, hold onto your hats, folks, because we're diving headfirst into the swirling, slightly-chaotic world of the Ordos Luxury Getaway: GreenTree Inn Kangbashi. Prepare yourselves, because this is gonna be honest, unfiltered, and maybe a little bit all over the place.

First Impressions: The GreenTree Inn – More Than Just a Tree?

Right, let's be real. "Luxury Getaway" makes you think of marble fountains and butlers named Reginald. GreenTree Inn? Not exactly the image, is it? But that's where the surprise comes in. This place in Kangbashi – a city that feels like it was built on a dare – is a genuine hidden gem. Honestly, I went in expecting… well, I wasn't expecting much. I was wrong. So wrong.

Accessibility: Navigating the Concrete Jungle… With a Ramp, Hopefully…

Look, I didn’t go around measuring doorways with a tape measure. But from what I saw, the accessibility seemed pretty decent. They've got an elevator, that's a huge plus! I saw those facilities for disabled guests listed, which is a great sign, but I didn’t have the chance to fully assess their setup. It’s worth asking for specifics if you need them. Big thumbs up if they meet ADA standards!

Cleanliness and Safety: Germaphobes, Rejoice (Mostly!)

Okay, this is where things get interesting post-pandemic. The Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Daily disinfection in common areas? Seemed legit. Hand sanitizer everywhere? Absolutely. What I loved was the commitment to Hygiene certification, meaning they seem like they're actually trying. The Room sanitization opt-out available is smart, letting you choose your level of germ-phobia. They listed Rooms sanitized between stays too, and knowing me, I would need it! They even had Individually-wrapped food options – a welcome sight for a paranoid traveler like myself. The thing is, the staff are trained in safety protocols is what made a HUGE difference, and I felt genuinely safe. The Cashless payment service makes things frictionless.

The Room: My Cozy Fortress of Solitude (and Wi-Fi)

This is where the GreenTree Inn really surprised me. The Wi-Fi [free] in the rooms? Hallelujah. I mean, I had to get online to write this review, right? The Internet access – wireless was fast enough to stream cat videos (research, people, research!). Plus, you get the standard stuff: Air conditioning, Blackout curtains (essential for a good night's sleep, especially after too much buffet food), Mini bar (a life-saver for those late-night snack cravings), and a Coffee/tea maker… Thank god. They even had Free bottled water, because hydration is key. I had a desk to work from, which was essential, and the Sofa was great for lazy nights. The Soundproofing was top-notch! The non-smoking was a bonus, too. The whole room just felt clean and well-maintained. The Additional toilet feature was a great surprise, I am glad I had two toilets.

I'm going to be honest, I was really impressed! I even slept on the extra long bed!

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Culinary Adventure (or Just a Buffet Frenzy?)

Alright, let’s talk about the all-important food. They’ve got several Restaurants! There’s a Breakfast [buffet] which is a MUST for me (a big breakfast guy!), plus an Asian breakfast (a nice option, but I’m a bacon and eggs kinda guy). There are Asian cuisine, Western cuisine, and International cuisine options. There is also a Coffee/tea in restaurant and Coffee shop, which is clutch. And the Poolside bar is super cool.

Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Spa Days and Fitness Frenzy

Okay, this GreenTree Inn has a serious commitment to relaxation, I can tell you. As for the spa, I didn't actually use the Spa, but they have a Spa/sauna, a Sauna, and a Steamroom, that is great to relax after a long day.

Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter

The Front desk [24-hour] is a godsend when you arrive at 3 am. There’s a Concierge, which is always nice for getting local tips. The elevator is a huge win. The Daily housekeeping was impeccable. The Laundry service was also a lifesaver, because traveling can be a messy business. They even offer Food delivery.

Getting Around: From Airport to Adventure

They provide Airport transfer! Hallelujah. I also spotted Car park [free of charge]!

The "Offer" – Because You Need a Reason to Book (and I Need to Pay My Bills!)

Ordos, China: A GreenTree Inn Adventure (Probably Not Perfect)

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your typical, meticulously planned itinerary. This is more like a… a suggestion of what might happen during my stay at the GreenTree Inn in Ordos, China. And, let's be honest, a deep dive into my own (often questionable) reactions to it all.

Day 1: Arrival and the Great Wall of… Sand?

  • 14:00 - Arrival at Ordos Ejin Horo Airport. (Okay, so far, so good. Plane landed. Breathe, Sarah, breathe.) The taxi driver… well, let's just say his driving skills were a bit… enthusiastic. He definitely took more than one "off-road shortcut." My luggage has seen better days.
  • 14:30 - Check-in at GreenTree Inn Ordos Kangbashi District Ulan Mulun Street Branch. The lobby looked clean. Maybe a little… too clean. Felt like walking into a sterile operating room.
  • 15:00 - Room Inspection (and initial freak-out). Alright, okay. The room is tiny. Tiny-tiny. The bed… a question mark. The TV looks like it predates the internet. But hey, at least it's got a window, and the air conditioner is making that comforting whirrrrrrrr of potential.
  • 16:00 - The "Sand Control" Project (A.K.A. The Desert That Wasn't) Ordos is supposed to be about the desert. I WANTED the desert! I needed the dunes! But first, a mandatory public-transport scavenger hunt for bus tickets. Got lost. Miserably lost. Asked some kind locals, and after a series of confused gestures and shared giggles, I ended up on a bus heading… somewhere. The desert I found looked more like a very well organized landfill, and a strange, very small, very meticulously groomed patch of sand that was supposed to be a massive sand dune… It was anticlimactic. Definitely not the Lawrence of Arabia experience I was hoping for. Sigh.
  • 17:30 - Dinner. (Embrace the dumplings, Sarah!) Found a tiny restaurant full of locals. Pointed at a picture on the wall because my Mandarin is… well, nonexistent. Dumplings. Phenomenal dumplings. This is what travel is really about. The flavors explode in my mouth. I could stay here forever eating dumplings.
  • 19:00 - Back to the GreenTree Inn for a Netflix binge In my tiny room, after a long day of travel, I am craving the familiarity of home. But my internet is slow, so I guess I have to actually watch some of the Chinese TV. It's like watching some sort of alien tv, and I'm loving it.
  • 21:00 - Attempt at Sleep. The bed… still a question mark. Okay, the bed is like a wooden board with a sheet. I'm going to need a lot of coffee tomorrow.

Day 2: The Square That Ate My Sense of Direction and the… (Wait for it…) The Grasslands!

  • 08:00 - Breakfast (aka, the mysterious orange substance). Breakfast in the hotel. They gave me some sort of orange jelly substance. It tasted like artificial orange and sadness. Should have gone back for dumplings.
  • 09:00 - Exploring Kangbashi District (and getting hopelessly lost, again). Kangbashi is bizarre. It's like a city designed by aliens who only read architectural textbooks. Gigantic, empty squares. Gleaming, unused buildings. It's beautiful in its own right, but totally surreal. Wandered around for what felt like hours, trying to find a decent coffee shop. (Still unsuccessful).
  • 12:00 - Lunch I'm starting to panic a little bit about food. My Mandarin is terrible, finding actual food seems like a chore, and the Orange Jelly of despair has left me feeling slightly nauseous. Found a market for some vegetables, and managed to find some steamed buns. They were divine!
  • 13:00 - Unexpected Adventure: The Grasslands (and Mongolian Hospitality). Okay, so I stumbled across this travel agent that promised to show me some of the grasslands. A minibus trip, which was a bumpy ride! The landscapes completely change. The air feels crisp, the views are so gorgeous. Met a nomadic family. They offered me kumis – fermented mare's milk… which tasted like sour, fizzy yogurt with a hint of… well, let’s just say it’s an acquired taste and I just couldn't. They gave me some Mongolian fried bread, though, and endless cups of salty milk tea. And the family made me feel so welcomed, so generous.
  • 18:00 - Back to Town and the Night Market. Found a night market. Lights, crowds, the smell of grilling food…. a cacophony of deliciousness. Ate skewers, dumplings, and another mysterious dish I couldn't identify but devoured anyway. The food is cheap, and the energy of the market is infectious.
  • 20:00 - Attempt to conquer the tv. Still the same alien tv, still loving it.

Day 3: Departure (and a bittersweet goodbye to dumplings).

  • 08:00 - The Orange Jelly… Again. No. Just no. Ate some of the delicious vegetable buns I bought yesterday!
  • 09:00 - Quick souvenir shopping (because deadlines are looming). Bought the obligatory postcards. Wondering if I should go buy more dumplings before I leave
  • 10:00 - Checkout and Departure. The GreenTree Inn experience… a mixed bag, to say the least. But honestly, I'm leaving with a smile. This trip was exhausting, often frustrating, frequently amusing, and sometimes breathtaking. And I feel like I've scratched beneath the surface of something new.
  • 11:00 - Taxi to the Airport… This time, I'm gripping the seat, because I know the driver's got a need for speed.
  • 15:00 - Take Off Goodbye Ordos!

Final Thoughts (and Ramblings):

Ordos… it's a city of contradictions. Modern and ancient. Empty and full of life. Sterile and chaotic. And it has its quirks. I'm still not sure if I loved it or hated it. But I'll tell you one thing… I’ll never forget the dumplings! And the grasslands! And the bizarre, beautiful, often baffling adventure that was my time at the GreenTree Inn. Would I go back? Maybe. But next time, I'm packing my own pillow. And maybe… a suitcase full of dumplings. Until next time, Ordos!

Ordos Luxury Getaway: GreenTree Inn Kangbashi's Hidden Gem! ... Or Is It? Let's Get Real! FAQs

Okay, spill the beans! Is this GreenTree Inn *really* "luxury"? Because... GreenTree Inn. Sounds like budget, right?

Alright, deep breaths. Look, "luxury" is a *very* subjective thing. This ain't the Ritz, let's be clear. But for *Ordos*, and more specifically, Kangbashi, it's pushing the envelope. Think… polished budget. Think... a really, *really* good attempt to be fancy. The lobby? Pretty swanky, with enough chrome and marble to make you briefly forget you’re in the middle of the Gobi Desert. Rooms? Clean, comfy, definitely a step up from "motel-y." And the price? Well, it's where the "luxury" illusion gets a little shaky. You're paying a premium, that's undeniable. So, luxury? Debatable. Comfortable, clean, and a decent option in a somewhat desolate landscape? Absolutely. My initial thought? "Wow, this IS nicer than I expected!" But the second thought quickly followed: "Did they really put fake orchids on the bedside table?" *smirks*

The location...Kangbashi. I've heard things. Is it a ghost town, or is there stuff to actually *do*?

Okay, let’s rip the Band-Aid off: Kangbashi has a reputation. And yeah, some of it is deserved. It’s… *architecturally ambitious*. Think vast avenues, futuristic buildings… and then, sometimes, a noticeable lack of people. I wandered around at like, 3 AM once (jet lag, don't judge!) and I was pretty sure I was the only person awake. But! Don't despair. There's the Ordos Museum (worth seeing for the architecture alone, even if you're not a museum person), a few parks (great for a stroll, especially in the spring), and some decent restaurants. It’s not exactly bustling, but it’s more than just empty streets. Think… quiet urban planning. It’s definitely an experience. Just… don’t expect Times Square.

What about the food? Am I doomed to instant noodles and despair?

Oh, thank the travel gods, no! The restaurant in the GreenTree Inn actually wasn't terrible! It certainly wasn't gourmet, but it was edible, and that's a win in my book. Expect a mix of local specialties – think mutton, noodles, and... things I couldn't quite identify but were probably delicious. The breakfast buffet was… well, it was a buffet. The usual suspects. The coffee? Okay, maybe bring your own instant. But honestly? After a long travel day, a proper meal was a godsend. I even befriended a particularly fluffy dumpling one morning. Seriously. I named it "Fluffy." Don't judge my food-based friendship.

The rooms. Give me the dirt. What are they *really* like?

Alright, the rooms. Here’s the deal: clean. Very important. Spacious. Comfortable bed. The window gave a decent view, and everything *worked* – which is a huge plus, honestly. I've stayed in places where the light switch was a mystery of international engineering. Not here! But… and there's always a *but*, isn’t there? The decor is… a bit generic. Beige on beige on beige. And the aforementioned fake orchids. I swear, they’re everywhere in Chinese hotels. They're like the universal symbol of "we tried our best," which, in this case, they did.

Is the staff helpful? Or are they just, you know… there?

This is where the GreenTree Inn shines. The staff were *lovely*. Seriously. They were genuinely helpful, even with my terrible Mandarin and their limited English. They went above and beyond. I needed help finding a local taxi (which is, admittedly, an adventure in Kangbashi, as ride-sharing isn't exactly booming out there), and they spent like, 20 minutes on the phone trying to sort it out for me. They were patient, friendly, and always smiling. That level of service can make or break a trip, and honestly? It almost made me forgive the beige. Almost.

What’s the Wi-Fi situation like? Because, you know… the Internet.

Wi-Fi. The bane of every modern traveler's existence. It was… functional. Not blazing fast, not consistently reliable, but it worked. I managed to check emails, browse the web (mostly!), and occasionally even stream a video. (Let's just say, buffering was a frequent visitor.) It's not the worst Wi-Fi I've encountered by a long shot, especially in a remote location like this. So, take a deep breath, accept the limitations, and maybe download that movie before you go.

Okay, let's get really specific. What's the worst thing about the GreenTree Inn Kangbashi? Spill the tea.

Ugh, alright. The one *major* downside? The noise insulation. Or rather, the lack thereof. I could hear EVERYTHING. The people in the hallway, the people in the next room… even the faint rustling of what I'm pretty sure was a disgruntled cleaning lady in the hallway at 6 AM. Sleep quality? Not stellar. Bring earplugs. Seriously. Earplugs are your best friend. And maybe a white noise machine. Or a really loud playlist. Seriously, that's the biggest drawback. Everything else, I could handle. But the noise… it almost drove me mad. I swear, the guy next door could have given a masterclass in snoring. It was epic. Loud. And constant.

Would you go back? Honestly?

Hmm, that's the million-dollar question, isn’t it? If I *had* to go back to Kangbashi? Probably. Given the alternatives, the GreenTree Inn is a solid choice. It's clean, the staff are amazing, and the price, while a bit inflated, is still within reason compared to some of the other options. Would I *choose* to go back? That's trickier. If I had a burning desire to revisit the architectural masterpiece of a ghost town that is Kangbashi, then yes, probably. But... I'd be packing industrial-strength earplugs. And maybe a sleeping mask. And possibly a hazmat suit to protect myself from the noise. Because, seriously, the noise. But yes. Probably. Maybe. Ask me again after I've had a full night's sleep in a soundproofed room. *shudders dramatically*
