Having seen great pictures of this hotel for years, I always wanted to stay here. Silk Road, May 2012, bingo! It's everything the reviews say. The staff is great. Eric the lobby manager couldn't have been more gracious and helpful. All the staff was obviously well trained and motivated for customer service. The roof restaurant/bar views are drop dead gorgeous,... More

This was the best hotel on the silk road. We arrived at the hotel and were surprised by the grandiosity of its lobby. The check in was easy and there was someone who spoke english, which is not easy to find in this region. The room was nicely decorated and clean. The restaurant/cafe on the roof top has amazing views... More

This is a very nice large and well kept complex with very friendly staff. The view from the terrace where you can have drinks is spectacular. A very good choice.

This was a beautiful hotel with a rooftop restaurant/bar with a view of the magnificent stars and the sand dunes. Especially beautiful after some of the hotels we stayed in on our way there. The caves at Dunhuang are magnificent and lived up to all our expectations. The room was lovely, the food excellent and the service perfect!

The hotel is located a little outside the city area and near the Sand Dunes that can be reached just walking along the road for around 20 minutes. Rooms are nicely decorated, some of them in need of a little refurbishing, but all in all is probably the best option in the city. Service is nice, even if not terrific... More

During my 8-day trip on China's Silk Road in Xinjiang and Gansu provinces, I stumbled with a fantastic Silk Road Dubhuang hotel that greatly impressed me. The strengths of this hotel include 1) excellent service that has far superior to other Chinese hotel in the far western area of China (Xinjiang and GAnsu); 2) well decorated hotel will many details...

Absolutely can not fault this hotel. Staff extremely pleasant and helpful. Free Wifi in lobby. Excellent breakfast. Slightly more expensive than anywhere else but worth it. Also worth getting a room overlooking the sand dunes. Saves getting up very early to watch the sun rise! Rooms very clean and well stocked. Awesome all round!

This hotel was one of 6 or so we stayed at during our 3 week China journey. This hotel offered excellent service, in fact, the assistant manager, Eric, actually filled in for us as a guide when no English-speaking guide was available for an all day trip to see the Yandan Landforms and the western end of the Great Wall!...

We really enjoyed a gin and tonic watching the sunset from this great roof-top cafe. The hotel is built in the style of Han dynasty architecture, a beautiful building and the rooms were nice and clean. The breakfast was good with a nice selection of food. The Magao caves are a 'must see', any other 'Thousand Buddha Caves' after these... More

As has been reviewed, this hotel is the epitome of a Silk Road trip. Right next to the towering sand dunes, this place brings alive the romance of the desert. But it is more than that. As we went further west, we realised the last place we had a decent western breakfast and good chinese food was at this hotel.... More
