敦煌宾馆 — Hotel in Jiuquan

Its centrally located, close to the bus station, the night markets, many restaurants. The room was small but clean and functional. ||||It has a large bathroom which doesn’t have a bath tub, only a simple curtain, so be aware that its one of those rooms where the shower wets the whole bathroom floor.||||We paid 258 RMB/night for a double-bed room booked via C-Trip and that included breakfast for two people. The breakfast was not so convenient as it was at the restaurant down the street and started only after 7am.

Its also convenient for catching a bus to Mogao Caves, or even Jiayuguan or further afield from the bus station which is only 500m away.||||When booking a hotel in Dunhuang, there are so many hotels nowadays, however one needs to be careful with the names, since every hotel is called "Dunhuang ....", this one is FanDian which can be easily mistaken with BinGuan as both probably have the same...

Average cleanliness bathroom but everything operating well including AC.||500Yuans during a conference.||Other conference attendees were in the older section, rooms do not always have windows and are smaller and mustier.||Free internet and breakfast.||The hotel is very well located close to the center of town, the night market, the restaurants and bike rentals.||Went for a drink at the Silk Road Hotel, with a view to the dunes, much more modern (but I did not visit the rooms) and while it is far from town it has a...

This is an interesting hotel. It is quite beautiful, even almost opulent in the lobby. Open and busy off season. The rooms are in two attached buildings, mine was in the second wing (building 8) where the rooms are a little dated but the feeling of Dunhuang luxury remains. Daily room service is excellent. The breakfast buffet is in a detached building and while the food is very good, the spread and dining room are not quite as elaborate as others in this class. The location is excellent with the night market just a block away. There are buckwheat pillows, something unusual and yet kind of wonderful. The hotel has a large attached branch of the Dunhuang Inspiration store with...
