great location, close to night market. nice enough rooms

Stayed in October 2023

I think the bathrooms really need to be renovated, the warm water took ages to arrive, we had to call to get warm water. I had two different rooms and the second room was really so-so, beds were not very stable and all equipments were a bit outdated.

It was very convenient, location is good and the manager was really helpful (even though my Chinese is not very good) but he helped me book quite a few activities. The rooms are simple but bed were confortable.

It could be a little bit cleaner. But besides that it was really good.

The place is located in a very central spot. Is easy to walk to the night market and go to the different attractions like the cave or the desert temple by bus or taxi. The owner is very nice, even though there is the language barrier he was always there to help. The place has a nice resting/ common area that you can enjoy ether inside or in the outside with a lot of seats to choose from.

Room could have been cleaner - floor needed a good sweep and bathroom was a but smelly and needed a refresh

Good location and large room

Stayed in July 2023

Whilst the room looked clean at first glance, under the beds hadn't be swept for months or longer! The dust was thick and there were various objects which had been left by previous occupants over a period of time!

Quirky room. Excellent location close to the night market. Helpful staff. Easy to organise day trips.

A bit of a walk to find food but once you located the food streets it was great

a small hotel with cool rooms

Stayed in June 2023

There is a strong smell of smoke in the public area on the floor we stayed, which was a bit unpleasant. And the corners of the floor in the room are quite dusty, seems like no one cleaned it ever.

The location is pretty great, 5 mins walk to the night market, where you'll find loads of amazing local dishes! The room is spacious, and lovely, decorated in Dunhuang style. The owner is a pretty nice guy, offered us lots of information for travel, food etc.

The hostel was comfortable, clean and in a good location. The host was very accommodating and helped us book desert treks, showed us where the covid testing spot that accepted foreigners was, and gave us tips on where to find good food.

Initially we asked for a large, queen bed and twin bed room and also a two twin bed room. The large room would not cool with the air conditioner. Thankfully, the manager found a second twin bed room which did cool.

The same manager was always on duty and he was very helpful in helping us plan our trip and tours. The hostel was relaxed and was designed to look like the grottos. The design of the hallways and rooms were attractive. The hostel was next to a canal and a couple blocks from the night market and the main shopping street. We had access to a roof top area for washing clothing and for drying clothes.

The bathroom is bit dirty

In the center and night market . Only 20 minutes to train station. The owner is so helpful and friendly

The floors need to be moped, particularly in the rooms, and particularly with pandemic worries like they are. My feet got dirty just walking around barefoot. Of course, Dunhuang is surrounded by sand so it is not an easy task...

Great location, nice decorations but probably the strongest thing to recommend this hostel is the owner. He does not speak English, but he communicates through WeChat and really, really does his best to be helpful and answer any questions you might have. And I asked a lot and he patiently answered them all.

We lost power in the evening, so my room was unbearably hot in the morning. There was a lot of dust in the room, so my allergies started to act up a bit. Also, the address can be a bit tricky for a Dunhuang newbie. Check with the hostel manager if you have questions.

The location of the hostel was excellent. The hostel owner was super friendly and had various tours and events conveniently available for purchase at the front desk. Coffee and beer is also provided for an extra charge. The night market is only a ten minute walk and there are several supermarkets and shops nearby for any need someone might have. The lounge was super cozy and I was able to meet up with other travelers who were staying in the hostel.

The shower was impossible to regulate! We think was a pipe problem for the super hot weather!

The room was super nice and cozy! Great location very closed to the main attractions. We had a great capuccino (never had in all Gansu before) ans tha staff was very helpful!

Cannot think of anything.

The owner was helpful beyond all expectations. He arranged a day-long trip for me when I came down to ask for help around midnight... when everything on baidu was already sold out. You need to have cash or alipay/wechat pay working.

However, we did not sleep well there. We had to ask to clean the floor because it was quite dirty. The mattress was made of stone. The pillows were too flat. The shower was a crazy fountain in the toilet, spreading water to every direction, located in an old balcony. Our room faced to a busy and noisy street. Even the billiards at the entrance of the hostel had the mat up.

Very well located. The place has a cool hostel vibe. The guy at the front desk, although he spoke no English, he was helpful and kind.

Very good hotel for the price. Room is nice and clean and has everything you need. The staff there are super helpful with all questions from directions to tours and getting taxis. I went on a tour organised by the hotel to key places outside of Dunhuang like yumen pass and ghost city. The tour is good value and a must do. I would recommend to everyone for a trip to Dunhuang

Didn’t let to check in

The hotel and rooms were dirty (they do not seem to use a vacuum cleaner) - e.g. shower, below bed and hallway full of hair. Cleaning methods should be upgraded. Services are very limited (e.g. no breakfast served although the lobby gives this impression)

Great location close to nightmarket, easygoing atmosphere and friendly owner

The door to the bathroom could not close.

It was easy to wash clothes and hang for drying. There is a nice common room, and decorations are nice. Comfy bed and good AC.
