Ξενοδοχεία με bar σε Gansu, China

"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 one night at Dunhuang Villa before leaving, and it was truly amazing. The breakfast was absolutely impressive, and the location is excellent; I doubt even the newer, more expensive hotels can compare. For dinner, I was too tired from visiting the Yulin Grottoes, so I ate directly at the hotel, and it was delicious. The front desk staff and lobby attendant were all very friendly, professional, and warm. Although the room was a bit small, all the necessary details were well taken care of. The charm of an established hotel is definitely present, making for a comfortable stay. The shuttle driver was also very polite and provided great service. Next time I come to Dunhuang, I'll definitely stay for more days."

"I highly recommend this hotel. The room was very comfortable and quiet at night. The hotel is surrounded by lush greenery. They called ahead of time to confirm the reservation and give parking directions, which was very thoughtful. They even sent a guide with local food recommendations! There are a lot of fun things to do nearby. I'll definitely come back next time! 👍👍👍"

"Absolutely wonderful! I was recovering from a cold at the hotel, and the cleaning lady not only refilled my humidifier but also brought me a bucket of water. She even told me to call the front desk anytime if I felt unwell – I was so touched! The front desk attendant was also fantastic! Before I cancelled my plans, I asked her if I could get some hot food to go. She readily agreed and even offered to reheat it if it wasn't warm enough. Although I ended up skipping my outing, I'm still incredibly grateful! The breakfast was delicious too, especially the mafu dumplings – pure bliss! It was also a treat to see the Qilian Mountains covered in snow from my room. So lucky!"

"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."

"This hotel just opened in February of this year. The room design follows the standard Wyndham layout. The location is absolutely fantastic! It's right in the city center, opposite the Flying Apsaras statue, and next to the Dunhuang Night Market. The view from the breakfast area on the 9th floor is superb! In September, the sunrise is at 7:25 AM, which is perfect for breakfast. We stayed in a twin room on the 9th floor, and a great advantage was being able to sit on the sofa and enjoy the sunset. The service was attentive, enthusiastic, and patient. Especially Ms. Liu and Ms. Chen at the front desk, who handled our check-in, were excellent. Before our arrival, they provided helpful WeChat communication regarding our free airport pick-up service. I even brought chocolates from Shanghai specifically to thank them. I'd suggest adding mini-fridges to the rooms if possible; it would be more accommodating for those who get hot easily and enjoy cold drinks/snacks."

"If you're coming to Jiayuguan, I'd recommend staying at this hotel. It's not a hotel that aims for luxury. There are no grand crystal chandeliers or deliberate attempts to evoke a 'Northwest China' style. Instead, it's understated, almost serene. You'll find natural wood, rough stone, a lot of blank space, and very little color. The moment you open the door, you'll feel like it's not trying to imitate the Northwest, but rather as if the winds of the Hexi Corridor have been brought inside the building. I've always believed that a hotel in a particular place shouldn't just be a place to sleep. It should belong to that land. Jiayuguan doesn't feel like the beginning of a story. It feels more like its end. The Hexi Corridor gradually narrows here, the snowline of the Qilian Mountains recedes into the distance, and looking west, the Gobi Desert unfolds like a map; beyond that lies a different world. So, when I met a mother and son from Poland at the hotel's front desk, I was a little surprised. It was their first time in China. Due to the language barrier, they had a bit of trouble checking in. I helped them translate a few sentences. After things were settled, I couldn't help but ask: ”Why Jiayuguan?” To be honest, for their first trip to China, most foreigners would choose Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, or even Chengdu. Jiayuguan isn't typically on that list. The older lady didn't answer with ”because of the Great Wall” or ”because of Dunhuang.” She said it was because of a book. *Shadow of the Silk Road*. Many years ago, when she was a young girl, she read about the British travel writer Colin Thubron's journey along the Silk Road. Since then, the Silk Road has remained with her throughout her life. Not a plan, not a wish, but more like something that was bound to happen eventually. Decades passed, and she retired. So, she brought her twenty-eight-year-old son from Poland to China, to Jiayuguan. Afterwards, they would continue to Xi'an, Urumqi, Kashgar, and then travel all the way back to Europe. I suddenly realized that sometimes, people can be slowly changed by a book. Not in a week, not in a year, but over decades. The old lady's name was Margarita, and she was an English teacher. This was quickly confirmed. During our chat, I mentioned that a dish was a bit 'salty,' and she paused, then earnestly told me that 'savory' would be more accurate. I used an inappropriate tense, and she casually corrected me. I smiled and said: ”You're such a picky old lady.” She immediately shook her head. ”No. Not picky. We should use the correct English.” Later, I felt that she wasn't being picky. It's just that for a teacher, there probably isn't a retirement age. We met again at breakfast the next day. She proudly introduced her son to me. Her twenty-eight-year-old son was a young neurologist, and her older son and daughter were also doing very well in their respective fields. Mothers around the world are probably all the same. Whether from Poland or China, when they talk about their children, their eyes light up. At breakfast, she mentioned she liked red wine but was hesitant to try the unfamiliar brands on the hotel's wine list, eventually asking me to order a large bottle of beer for her. I twisted open the cap for her. She didn't pour it into a glass but instead took a direct sip from the bottle. In that moment, I suddenly thought she was very cool. Later, our conversation slowly drifted away from travel. We talked about life, and about those questions everyone encounters but for which it's hard to find standard answers. Travel always seems to have a strange power; it allows two people who wouldn't normally meet to exchange things in a strange city that they wouldn't easily say in everyday life. When I left, she invited me to visit Poland someday. I agreed. I don't know if that day will truly come in the future. But later, I kept thinking about something else. These days, we've become increasingly accustomed to letting algorithms decide our next trip. We open our phones, and trending lists, ratings, and guides tell us where to go and where to stay. But Margarita made me believe that there are still people who, because of a book they read decades ago, will cross half the globe to come to Jiayuguan. A book doesn't just change a person's mind. It can truly stay in a person's heart for decades. And then, in the winds of the Hexi Corridor, slowly come true."

"🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Five stars, no doubt! My stay here was absolutely perfect, exceeding all my expectations. From check-in to check-out, the service was consistently warm and attentive, making me feel truly at home. The room was spacious and bright, impeccably clean, and the bedding was so comfortable I had a wonderful night's sleep. Breakfast offered a great variety and tasted delicious. The facilities were excellent, the environment was peaceful, and the location was super convenient. It offers fantastic value for money, and I highly recommend it to everyone. I'll definitely choose this place again for my next trip!"

"Facilities: The amenities are very comprehensive, offering a good smart experience. There's a wet/dry separation, a heated toilet seat, a very comfortable shower head, and the bed is also extremely comfortable. Cleanliness: Very clean and tidily arranged. Environment: The hotel's location is easy to find. The breakfast restaurant on the first floor has a particularly rich variety of options; the馍 (steamed bun), beef noodles, and beef ribs were especially memorable. Service: The staff were very efficient. They offered complimentary afternoon tea, and even prepared a souvenir gift upon departure. There were also pre-packed coffees at the bar, which was a very thoughtful touch. After the terrible experience at Zhuo'ershan Guanshan B&B, at the same price point, the service here is completely different – that's the gap! I give a big thumbs up to Puyue! Trip.com, please open your eyes and recommend quality hotels like this one!"

"The room was spotless, breakfast was plentiful, and the service was prompt. I even got a free room upgrade this time, which made for a really pleasant stay. The hotel is quite new, so it was very comfortable, and I got to witness a sunrise over the Yellow River. Downstairs is the Yintan Wetland Park, which is great for a stroll."
