2-Star Hotels in Turpan

A 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!

I had a very enjoyable stay here. The room is well equipped and spotlessly clean. A shop on the ground floor is open 24 hours - very convenient. The little family run restaurant next door is also excellent. Special mention must go to the young lady at reception, who was super friendly and helpful in my onward travel arrangements.

The location is very close to Turpan North Station, just a short bus ride on bus route 2. It's about a 10-minute walk from the bus stop. Kan'erjing Paradise is also about a 10-minute walk away. It's also possible to take a bus to the city center. The Turpan Museum was closed for renovations. The bed was clean and had plenty of shelves, making it very convenient.

Very unique B&B First impression: wooden pavilion, blue bricks and tiles, antique style Check-in experience: The little girl at the front desk was warm and thoughtful. I encountered a small problem when checking into the family room. After communicating with the store, she decisively changed the room and upgraded it for free. It was very heart-warming. My favorite: I like the big terrace on the second floor. It is accompanied by stars at night and shaded by ancient trees during the day. It is so comfortable to drink tea with my family.

The room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. The shower pressure was excellent, and having laundry facilities was a huge bonus. Absolutely fantastic! I would definitely choose this hotel again if I get the chance.

Wow~ The facilities in this hotel are amazing! The environment is beautiful, the service is very considerate, and you can even visit the winery for free? ! It’s really awesome. I’ll bring my cat with me next time I come here for vacation! 🐱

The hotel boasts an excellent location, very close to Grape Valley and Karez Well. It's clean, tidy, and the overall environment is pleasant. The price was also very reasonable. There are plenty of great food options nearby, including Xinjiang rice noodle shops and dried fruit wholesalers. I even bought some Jiaomaji (spicy numbing chicken). The front desk service was excellent; they kindly helped store my Jiaomaji in the fridge for me to take on the road the next day.

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.

The room felt like a large tent, with the bathroom and sink located behind the bedroom area. Water splashed out when someone showered, but otherwise, everything was fine. Ventilation was decent, and there wasn't a strong odor. The only real perk of staying in the desert was being able to watch the sunrise the next day and have the entire desert to ourselves before the first tourists arrived. I had hoped to enjoy the desert the evening I checked in, but it was too windy and sandy after sunset to do anything. One area for improvement is that the hotel stay doesn't include admission to the scenic area, nor does it cover the shuttle bus tickets for children. We had to buy extra tickets at the entrance, which wasn't a great experience. The hotel price is already quite high, so for a hotel located within the scenic area, this should really be included. The complimentary hot pot dinner was good, with generous portions, enough for two adults and one child. The complimentary 'Lost Loulan' VR show is also worth watching.

We 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!
