Hotels near Sugong Tower, Turpan

Staying at Guanlan Mountain Grape Stream was more than just a comfortable visit — it was a wonderful cultural experience of Turpan. The staff are authentic and warm - always ready to help and share their vast knowledge of the area. It is welcoming, and peaceful, giving us a real sense of Grape Valley’s charm and hospitality. And everything is spotless & clean - the staff take a great deal of care to make the rooms extremely comfortable and the surroundings ready to welcome you. The location was perfect: quiet and relaxing, yet ideally situated close to all the attractions. It was easy to enjoy Gaochang, Jiohe, Kerez and many more while still having a calm retreat to return to. One of the highlights was the outdoor sitting area, which was a cool respite during the day under the shade of beautiful 100+ year-old elm trees. In the evening, it became the perfect place to enjoy dinner under the stars s💫 A true 5-star 💎💎💎💎💎 experience and so much more!

We chose this homestay because it was the best fit for us. We're all a bit particular about cleanliness, so our standards for the environment and hygiene are quite high. It was exceptionally clean and tidy. The owner, a very hospitable person from Chongqing, took great care of us. We arrived quite late, and the hostess even cooked for us personally. The food was absolutely delicious – home-cooked meals are always the best! You *must* try the dried long bean and pork soup; it's fantastic. We'll definitely stay here again on our next visit.

After we encountered a bad experience with a desert glamping resort in Dunhuang, we were a bit cautious with Dune when we booked it. However, after I communicated with the manager in Dune via WeChat, I was more confident as he was very polite and helpful. He helped us to booked a transfer from Turpan Airport to Dune resort. As our flight arrived Turpan in the evening, it was late when we arrived at Dune. The manager and another staff came to the entrance of the driveway to welcome us and helped us with our luggage. They took us straight to our tent, and they upgraded us to a bigger tent, too. We woke up to this beautiful Kumtag Desert Sand dunes, right in front of our tent! It was so beautiful. As the off peak season started, we were the only guests there but the staff were serving us with delicious breakfast and dinner. The food was delicious and plentiful! The manager and staff were very attentive to our requests. One of the staff has helped us to arrange a local guide/driver to take us to the Kumtag desert for an exciting ATV ride and sand sliding. We had a great time. We ended up hiring the same guide, a pleasant and calm Uygur young guy to take us for some sightseeing and dropped us back to Turpan. I would say to anyone who is looking for a real desert glamping, please come to Dune in Shahshan near Turpan instead of Dunhuang.

I checked in around 9 PM on July 5th. The young lady at the front desk was very warm and attentive. The hotel itself is upscale, the room was spotless, and the breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious options. The service auntie in the breakfast area was incredibly polite and kind-hearted; I saw her immediately wipe up a spill on the floor to prevent guests from slipping, which I really appreciated! This auntie deserves a big thumbs up! Plus, it's super convenient to get to Turpan Night Market from the hotel.

This stay experience is perfect! The moment you open the door, a fresh breath hits you in the face. The marble floor is as smooth as a mirror, the bedding is smooth as new, and even the decorative ornaments in the corners are spotless. Every detail shows the hotel's professionalism and care. The parking lot is well planned and the signs are clear, so you can easily find a space even if it is your first visit. Free parking tickets are also provided when you leave. The biggest surprise was the breakfast session, with a wide variety of Chinese and Western dishes, the freshly cooked noodle soup was fresh and rich, the freshly baked bread was soft and sweet, and the freshly ground coffee was fragrant. You could feel the chef's superb cooking skills in every bite. From the environment to the service, it's impeccable. Next time I come here on a business trip, this hotel will definitely be my best choice!

The room was clean, spacious, and free of any unpleasant odors. The air conditioning was powerful and kept the room comfortable despite the hot weather. As someone who is allergic to dust mites, I found the room very comfortable. The Wi-Fi was strong, and guests could make use of the washing machines and dryers, with liquid detergent provided. The staff were extremely helpful, cheerful, and friendly.     The breakfast spread is varied and includes both Chinese and Western options.  Buses to the Flaming Mountains, Grape Valley, and Karez Paradise are conveniently available near the hotel.

The 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.

The hotel is located within the Folk Culture Park scenic area, and access is by room key. The rooms are spacious, bright, clean, and comfortable. The breakfast was too simple; although the grapes weren't ripe yet, apricots, watermelons, and cantaloupes were already in season. As a fruit-producing region and a hotel under the Xinjiang Culture and Tourism Bureau, it should offer more distinctive and appealing breakfasts to attract tourists. The parking lot is large, and there were many tourists, especially in the hot weather; it would be advisable to provide more drinking water in the rooms.

First 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.
