A beautiful hotel in a great location overlooking the Echoing sand dunes. The rooftop restaurant is particularly great.

This was our second stay at this amazing hotel. It doesn’t get much better than this. The hotel has an incredible charm, friendly and helpful staff and the view from the breakfast terrace is stunning. Value for money is incredible at this place!

Very good location to enjoy the view of Ming Sha Shan together. Considerate service and very thoughtful facilities included. Better to stay here when planning to go to the Ming sha shan, 4 mins taxi from hotel to there. 10-15mins taxi to the city centre.

What a special place! Created to look like a desert fortress with beautiful hand-woven rugs hanging in the corridor and a gorgeous mural of the Silk Road in the reception area. The terrace restaurant was a superb place for breakfast with views of the Gobi sand dunes and starry skies at night. The breakfast was enormous, just fabulous, with both Chinese and Western choices. Freshly made noodle soup and omelets and waffles… pretty much anything you could want. Friendly staff, big, well appointed rooms, superior bathroom, everything was great. The location is a little ways from the center of town, but there is a bus across the street that will take you there for two yuan. And you can walk to the right from the hotel for fifteen minutes through a bazaar to a nature site. Loved it!

Over-priced for what is on offer. Smallish, out-of-date room with a tiny bathroom, located a few km out of the lively town center. The only bonus is a restricted view of sand-dunes which you get during breakfast. But is that worth a 500rmb per night premium over a more central hotel offering nicer rooms? I certainly wish we had remained at our central hotel rather than moving here when rooms became available.

Nice hotel with great view. Pleasant surprise with free yogurt and camel plush toys. The staff are helpful. Provide free pick up from the airport

Highly recommended to everyone. We traveled to Dun Huang in early May (2024), and we feel grateful for all the kindness we got here. The hotel is very clean, and the service is super accommodating. They provide free pick-up from airport (or train station), so all you need is to call them one day ahead (the receptionist can speak English if you don't speak Chinese). Everyone will smile at you and ask what they can help you when we stay there. The location is brilliant too. It is like 1000 meters away from Ming Sha mountain, and you can actually see the sand mountain when you have breakfast at the hotel (it is free too). We will definitely stay here again when we visit Dun Huang next time.
