AAnonymous UserA hidden gem hotel, highly recommended! The location is not far from the scenic area entrance and the county town, especially convenient by car. The desert is right outside the room, less crowded and with beautiful scenery. The owner was very kind and upgraded us to a room with a 180° view. You can climb the sand dunes and go sandboarding. After 8 pm, the desert cools down, and the sunset light and shadow are beautiful, perfect for taking photos. We saw a perfect sunset and orange afterglow from the tent entrance. If you don't want to move around, you can lie in bed, open the tent flap, and leisurely waste a day. The breakfast is delicious, but the dinner, at 100 RMB per person, is just average and not great value, though it looks very nice in photos. By the way, dinner only had naan (a type of steamed bun), no rice, which isn't very friendly to people from the south; I suggest adding a rice option. Overall, satisfied, the kids said they want to come back!
LLexylamThe reception staff are all very lovely and helpful. We especially liked the 24/7 convenient store built right into the hotel, it had great options for midnight snacks and ice cold drinks. The rooms are nice and the bed is especially comfortable, it could be a little cleaner (stains not the doors and frosted glass of the shower) but it’s nothing that really impacted our enjoyment of the hotel! We would definitely come back and recommend others to do the same if they ever come to visit Shanshan.
Side note on attractions - Kumtag desert is very close and it only cost us a 6 Yuan taxi to get there (we even walked back). If you are specifically coming for the Flaming Mountains or Jiaohe Ancient Town then just be prepared that most group outings are from Turpan North Railway Station (50minutes on the Train) or you can go by car but we didn’t try so it may be expensive as it’s further away than if you stay in central Turpan.
GGuest UserThe hostel's common areas are really spacious, making it easy to strike up conversations with fellow travelers and share some watermelon. And yes, we *literally* mean eating watermelon – a huge Turpan watermelon only costs ten yuan! The room amenities are also excellent, and there are plenty of delicious food options nearby. All in all, a fantastic hostel.
GGuest UserOriginally saw 5 points is not believed, so I decided to give it a try, and the result was really good! The Youth Hostel is a single-family villa, and the eight-person room has a separate bathroom! ! Shower gel shampoo, paper towels, love! ! A bed is equipped with a pillowcase, sheets and quilt cover, clean and comfortable, privacy is very good, the lock is a code lock, the key is that the boss is really good! Will help carry the luggage upstairs, we are the train at night, ask the boss if you can let us take a shower, let us take a shower, super recommended! ! Thanks to the boss, the boss business is booming! ! !
GGuest UserThe service is very good and I am very satisfied. The room is clean and the staff are very enthusiastic. I am very satisfied with the service.
EemdethuongFirst and foremost, this hotel accepts foreigners. The hotel is quite ok but not great. I booked a no-window non-smoking room (don’t do it, go for room with window) because I thought there is more chance people still smoke in non-smoking rooms with windows.
The first room they gave me, put the key card on and electricity didn’t work. Waited for them to check with no result so I was relocated to another room. It’s non-smoking but I can clearly smell the smoke. Took 2 days for the smoke smell to go away which is a pity.
The room is small but enough for a solo like me. Each floor they built 4 lines of rooms, the 2 middle lines stay wall-to-wall to each other and are the ‘no-window’ rooms. I would definitely recommend you to choose the room with window, because it means you don’t share a lot of ‘walls’ to other room and have a window to open at least for circulation if room is smelly or if room is too hot. In my case, my room smells smoke, and the room heater system only allows 34-37 degree celsius which is crazy! Very hot if turned on so I had to turn it off the whole time I stay at the hotel. Even though it is winter time, the whole hotel is already on heater. Unable to adjust room temperature is annoying because it means no air circulation. There is a blowing machine (similar to a fan) in the room but it is not efficient quickly enough. The room feels extremely suffocating. I did really wish for a window. Also because the no-window rooms share 3 walls with other rooms (not counting the upper floor), it’s more bad-luck chances for weird noise. In my case, I had to endure one whole freaking night with 2 loud Uyghur couples who cannot hold themselves back from banging the freak out and making all kinds of terrible terrible noise. Seems like no soundproof for these walls.
GGuest UserWe stumbled upon this guesthouse on our first day in Turpan and were absolutely delighted with it. The small courtyard offers a lovely spot to relax outdoors. The owner, originally from Shandong, was incredibly polite, easy to communicate with, and always went out of their way to be accommodating. We'll definitely be back!
AAnonymous UserAround 1 AM, I was getting ready for bed and felt a dark spot crawling on my pillow. I turned on the light and saw a huge bug! Scared, I grabbed a tissue and caught it. A quick search identified it as a louse. I was completely grossed out... I spent the next few hours searching, and couldn't sleep until 2 or 3 AM. Then, around 3 or 4 AM, as I was trying to sleep again, I found another small bug. That was it – I didn't sleep at all that night. I checked out first thing the next morning and moved to another hotel. The hotel's location was good, with places to explore right outside, but the hygiene was terrible. All those bugs on the pillow! I even used my flashlight to check under the bed, and there was all sorts of messy stuff that hadn't been cleaned properly... 😱😱😱
Hygiene: Poor
EESim017The location is excellent with the famous Night Food Court directed in front of the hotel. You can get fresh draught beer there from their local brewery. Room size, toilet and layout is good. The reception are helpful. Good hotel to stay for tourists.

We often stay at this hotel and it's great to stay with friends. The only downside is the soundproofing isn't very good; the noise from next door is quite loud. But otherwise, it's pretty good.
