I recently stayed at this hotel as part of a prearranged package tour of the China part of the Silk Road. It was by far the best hotel I stayed in across Kashgar, Urumqi and Turpan. On arrival we were given a warm, low key, personable welcome by Eric the assistant manager who offered to do anything he could to... More

As other reviewers have indicated this hotel is much better than other hotels along the Silk road. Service is good, the staff pleasant. The rooms are decently decorated, the beds comfortable with clean linen. The shower worked well. There is a good rooftop terrace and the location is good

If you go to Dunhuang then I urge you to stay at this hotel. The staff couldn't do enough to make our stay with them a fantastic stay for which we thank them.

The rooftop restaurant offers fantastic views of Mingsha mountain and is a must for views of Sunrise... More

Our room was OK to start off with but it took 15 minutes to get hot water from the shower and the "view" from the room was of a cement wall. The lobby was nice and so is its garden area. The breakfast was OK. The location is good since it is close to the market area and lots of... More
