Hotels with WiFi in Dunhuang

"The butler service was excellent and very responsive. We stayed in both the RV and the tent. My family in the tent said the wind was so strong at night they felt like they were going to be blown away, haha, but the tent was beautiful and still worth experiencing. The breakfast buffet was very good. It's truly impressive to have so many fresh vegetables available in the desert. When we visited, there was a bonfire party and folk music performance, though the butler mentioned it's not held every night. I came here last year and thought this hotel, deep in the desert, was amazing. Unlike other tent hotels that put up a bunch of haphazard things just to attract guests, this one was just a large expanse of clean, simple desert. The environment was elegant and refined, and the experience far exceeded my expectations. I raved about it to my family when I got back. To be honest, this year was a bit disappointing because I noticed they seemed to be setting up amusement rides like carousels. The grounds looked messy and it wasn't as serene as last year. And a carousel in the middle of the desert really feels superfluous... The kids were all busy digging, sandboarding, and socializing. I really hope it doesn't turn into a messy tent hotel. However, the butlers were all very dedicated and provided excellent service, which is something I can't fault."

"I stayed at the Dunhuang Hotel for three days in Dunhuang, and now I'd like to share my objective thoughts. The hotel is an iconic castle-style building with decor characteristic of the Northwest desert, and its location is unbeatable. From the room window, you can see the Mingsha Mountain, offering a wide and magnificent view, perfect for photos. Breakfast is served at the Zhaixing Pavilion, with an outdoor dining area directly facing the desert. The staff proactively helped set up sun umbrellas, and enjoying breakfast while looking at Mingsha Mountain was indeed pleasant. However, the food quality was rather mediocre. The highly recommended noodles by netizens, perhaps due to over-expectation, tasted quite bland. The yogurt was commendable, but the rest of the dishes were unremarkable. Especially the cut apples and bananas, which were visibly oxidized, looked very unappetizing. The room size was rather small, and the wooden bed was very unstable, creaking loudly when turning over. The indoor table was tiny, yet fragile ceramic cups were placed on it, posing a safety hazard for families with children. Upon check-in, we received a small gift, and fresh toiletries were replenished daily, indicating decent basic service. However, on the first day of our stay, our child, excited to see the view outside the window, broke a cup while pulling the curtains. We called housekeeping for assistance, and ten minutes later, the front desk called to request 88 RMB for compensation. Throughout the call, there was no inquiry about whether anyone was injured. However, as it was indeed our fault and we wanted our child to learn a lesson, we agreed to the compensation. Upon check-out, we requested to see the purchase invoice to verify the price. The front desk seemed hesitant and called the manager, who replied that the cups were purchased ten years ago and the receipt couldn't be found immediately, and then said we didn't need to compensate. The complimentary coffee and biscuits from the hotel, coupled with the Mingsha Mountain scenery, made for excellent photos. We were out early and back late, finally getting to enjoy them on the day of our departure. The airport transfer service was also hassle-free; we booked it with the front desk a day in advance, and the hotel arranged the departure time according to our flight schedule. We waited in the lobby ten minutes before departure and arrived at the airport in about twenty minutes. This hotel excels in its unique architectural style and unparalleled desert landscape, making it suitable for travelers seeking a certain ambiance. However, if you prioritize convenience, comfort, and value for money, it might be worth comparing with a few other options."

"✅ Excellent Location: Super convenient for both Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring and the Mogao Grottoes Digital Exhibition Center, just a ten-minute taxi ride away. There are plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping options nearby. You can even walk to the Dunhuang Night Market in the evening, which has a fantastic lively atmosphere. ✅ Facilities and Service: The hotel facilities are well-maintained, and the shower water pressure is incredibly comfortable – a real lifesaver after a day out in the sand and dust. The front desk staff were always responsive and quick to help with any requests. The only minor inconvenience was the lack of a drying line or hooks in the shower area for hanging clothes."

"The front desk staff were incredibly warm and helpful. They even walked me to the door and patiently explained the local routes. Anything I needed, they promptly brought to my room. I'm planning to stay here again in the winter! It's very close to the night market, but the hotel's design is so well-thought-out that there's no noise at night. They even thoughtfully offered apricot tea! Dining and transportation in the area are very convenient. It's also close to the Dunhuang Museum and several lamb restaurants that locals love, highly recommended! Getting to the Mogao Grottoes, the airport, and the train station is also very easy. The hotel offers affordable shuttle services, which is especially great for those who need it, particularly if you're arriving late at night!"

"This hotel/guesthouse is absolutely fantastic! It's very close to Mingsha Mountain, and the Mogao Grottoes are just a 15-minute drive away. The lovely guesthouse owners prepared welcome apricot tea, and they do an excellent job maintaining the place. Our room was spacious and clean, and the triple room had a balcony, though we didn't use it much. The common areas, both on the rooftop and the ground floor, are perfect for relaxing and enjoying the breeze in the evening – very comfortable."

"I was torn between the Sheraton and Atour, but then I saw Atour at the night market and was glad I didn't choose it. If you don't like overly lively places, the Sheraton is a good option. Ordering takeout from the night market is also quick, and getting a taxi anywhere is very convenient. The lamb noodle soup for breakfast was delicious and very Dunhuang-style."

"The hotel upgraded us to a junior suite for free, and the room was very spacious with excellent facilities. The staff were exceptionally welcoming; they offered apricot peel tea during check-in and even gave us yogurt and a small camel toy. The lobby cats, due to having kittens, temporarily didn't have their pet room open. However, the calico and a few other cats would wander around. A great feature was the large terrace on the 6th floor. I washed clothes and hung them out there in the evening, and they dried very quickly, no dryer needed at all. The TV in the room was huge, but we were too busy exploring to really watch it. It would have been even better if the bathroom had a soft stool or bathrobes."

"The hotel is located on Xiaobei Street, directly opposite Dunhuang Night Market, just a two-minute walk away. What's quite unique is that it's nestled in a residential area, making it incredibly quiet and comfortable at night – a true oasis of calm amidst the bustling city. The hotel amenities are top-notch, featuring Dyson hairdryers and humidifiers, and the bedding and linens are all of high quality. The decor is very stylish, and the rooms are exceptionally spacious. The breakfast on the first floor is also delicious, with the handmade saozimian (noodles with minced meat topping) being particularly excellent. The front desk staff, particularly Ms. Xiao Li, was very warm and attentive, offering many helpful recommendations. We stayed in Dunhuang for four nights."

"I stayed at Dunhuang Yuntian International Hotel for two nights from August 23rd to 25th, and I absolutely have to give it a rave review! I took the train from Lanzhou to Dunhuang. I had informed the hotel of my train number in advance, and to my surprise, they arranged a complimentary pick-up service. As soon as I exited the station, I saw the driver holding a sign waiting for me, and he even helped carry my luggage to the car. This start alone earned them major bonus points. The hotel's location is truly unbeatable, right next to Shazhou Night Market, just a few minutes' walk away. In the evenings, after exploring the night market, enjoying some BBQ, drinking apricot peel water, and buying souvenirs, I could just stroll back to the hotel. No need to worry about finding a taxi or walking too far. The bus to Mingsha Mountain stops right at the entrance, and a taxi to Mogao Grottoes only takes about ten minutes, making it super convenient for sightseeing. I chose a room with a humidifier. Dunhuang is naturally dry in August, and with the humidifier on, sleeping was so much more comfortable; I didn't wake up in the middle of the night with a dry throat. The mattress was a zero-pressure type; you just sink into it, and I slept incredibly well. The hot water came on quickly, and the vanity thoughtfully provided disposable facial towels, which is a nice touch for women. The front desk staff were also very friendly and check-in was fast. Breakfast starts at 7 AM and includes freshly ground coffee, yogurt, fruits, and local snacks. It's great not to have to go out hungry early in the morning looking for food, especially useful for those heading to Mogao Grottoes early. Overall, for this price, to stay in the city center with pick-up service, a rich breakfast, and a clean, comfortable room, the value for money is truly high. I genuinely recommend this place for solo travelers or those bringing family to Dunhuang. I'll definitely stay here again next time!"

"Booked this place after reading reviews. The exterior isn't much to look at, but the interior is newly renovated, and the service is excellent. They have triple rooms, which are great for families. When guests upstairs were noisy on the first night, they immediately helped us switch rooms the next day. It's also very convenient for getting to several attractions. Taxis are easy to catch in the city."
