Dunhuang Hotel — Hotel in Jiuquan

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, it is great value for money and the room is comfortable. My only negative comment would be that as a non-smoker, the room was a bit smelly, but I left the window open for a day and it aired out nicely.Every single person working at the hotel were extremely kind and helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable and convenient. They even helped me to post some souvenirs back to my house that I couldn’t fit in my suitcase. I was travelling alone and it can be a bit intimidating to travel away from major cities with my less than conversational level of Chinese, but I was made to feel so welcome and I am very grateful for the amazing hospitality. The location is fantastic, walking distance to a lot of nice places to eat and the night market. There was a cheap and decent gym within 8 minutes walking of the hotel and nowhere was too far to go by taxi. For foreigners, I recommend taking the taxi to Doujiaduncun villagers committee to take your PCR test. It’s about 5 minutes by taxi and they can help deal with PCR tests for foreigners who don’t have access to the QR code. You must go back the next day to pick up the results. The people at the testing site are also very helpful.I loved my visit to Dunhuang so much, the landscape is incredible and the people here are so nice. I will definitely...

The hotel is located right in the centre, a short walk to the night market, shops and restaurants. The room and bathroom were of a good size, and furnished/equipped with all you might need- cupboard, air con, TV, shower cubicle, mirror, tea and coffee making facilities, toiletries etc.||Cleanliness was so-so. There were seed casings and bits of grunge in the carpet from the previous occupier, which never got vacuumed while we where there. (Perhaps we got the same room after the previous reviewer!)||The room we got also stunk of smoke despite us asking for a non-smoking room. They also tried to put us in a twin room despite us booking a double, but we stood our ground. ||The room was marketed in ctrip as including breakfast, but you only get one breakfast despite there being 2 of us in a double room- so not as good value unless one of you doesn't eat or you are prepared to pay up. ||The breakfast is in a separate section that you access from the second floor (US floor numbering) or by going outside. Only Chinese foods,which is ok by me, but not at all good quality or taste. Only warm milk to drink, with no tea or even hot water that we could see. After the first time we didn't go back.||The real con is that bed is rock hard. I've had hard beds before, but this was one of the hardest and it was difficult to get to sleep as your...

This is the kind of hotel that feels like it was built in the 1970's but for a grand and wealthy clientele. ||||My experience may be unobjective as the hotel had lost track of my booking, had no regular rooms left, but then very kindly upgraded me to a suite. It was of massive proportions, as large as a decent sized flat in NYC or London. This was in the second building, over the road from the main building where breakfast is served.||||Breakfast actually was the main downer - don't bother, the food is very average, much better food to be had 5 mins away in the market area of town.||||There were a couple of staff we found who spoke English, but generally they were very keen to help, polite, great service in fact.||||Wifi was excellent, some of the best we had in China.||||Location is excellent - 5 mins walk from the market area which is a fun place to eat at in the evenings. Tonnes of restaurants with outdoor seating, and a main tourist drag but with musicians and street performers and all sorts going on. 15 mins walk away is the river, literally follow the main road straight until you get to it; a decent place to take a stroll and get away...
