Turpan Hotels with Balcony

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.

The ambiance is wonderful. From the moment I enter the courtyard, it feels like I'm back in my grandparents' childhood home. The hotel's decor is very local. The service was excellent, and most requests were quickly addressed. I was worried the pictures might differ from the actual experience, but there wasn't at all! It was a truly wonderful stay.

The hotel's own vineyard, offering free fruit picking, is probably its biggest draw. The service was okay, both the girls and the guys were pleasant. Cleanliness was OK. However, the amenities weren't great. I was unlucky to choose a family room on the third floor, but the air conditioning wasn't cooling, and the shower pressure wasn't strong enough, making it a real problem for summer travelers. I've read reviews of the breakfast being generous, but that's an exaggeration. The watermelon didn't even feel fresh (this was in Xinjiang in the summer, which is when fruit is plentiful). Also, the coffee was expensive, at 24 yuan for an iced Americano (though I'm not sure about prices at other coffee shops in Turpan).

We had a very pleasant stay in this hotel. It is in a useful location where it's very easy to get taxis to Turpan's main sites. The hotel staff were also very friendly and helpful. The lifts are slow and a bit outdated and the carpets and aircon on our floor (5th) weren't as clean or worked as well as we felt in other floors. The fact that it has a free laundry room for guests is very convenient and the breakfast was good enough. We found our room comfortable and we would happily stay here again if we visit Turpan in the future.

This was hands down the best hotel of our Xinjiang trip! The design and decor are absolutely fantastic. It offers incredible value for money! The hotel also provides sand therapy and even has some lovely small animals to visit. It's kept impeccably clean, completely free of any unpleasant odors! The overall hygiene is excellent, and the mattress is super comfortable – neither too soft nor too hard. I woke up feeling completely refreshed the next morning! The breakfast spread was also incredibly rich and varied! The only minor downside was that the projector screen in the room was broken. Turpan is absolutely an underrated gem of a city! I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit; it's truly fantastic!

I am confused how they got so many good reviews after staying here. First, they said offer they tickets to get into Grape Valley and it ended up no tickets are needed. Second, we went out for dinner, restaurants on the right side of the hotel, as the hotel suggested, are 3X more expensive than the normal price. Third, a worker at our hotel offered to drive us to a restaurant but we declined. Later, we found out that he was trying to take us to an overpriced restaurant with no customers. I guess he was looking for a commission from that restaurant. Fourth, we asked one lady in the touristy area, how far is the night market and she said 25 km, we checked on line it was only 7 km away. Even though the room itself was fine, I would advise against staying here or in Grape Valley altogether. Although a visit here for 1 or 2 hours is fine.

This B&B is one of the few that I couldn't cancel but still ordered. It was as good as expected, and the wooden house is very distinctive. The room is large and comfortable to live in. It is surrounded by the grape town where locals live. It is very convenient and cheap to eat and buy fruits. We also went to the nearby to buy camel milk and stored it in the refrigerator of the B&B. There is also a very docile big dog in the yard. I had a great time staying for three days!

Simply great place! Excellent value for money, the place is full of beautiful vineyards of grapes, the place looks like in a fairy tale. There is a shuttle that comes quickly and efficiently. The room in the shape of a wine barrel is great and clean, the staff is very nice and efficient, they helped us quite a bit. The breakfast is great and varied and there are also vegetarian options. There is a possibility of free laundry, and the reception is really available 24/7. The winery tour was beautiful and the long canal is very impressive. The shuttle from the train to the hotel and from the hotel to the train worked great. To improve - the pool was dirty throughout our stay, other than that it is just an amazing place! We will be back again in the future

What a surprise! We called before our arrival to ask for the exact location, and a young man who spoke fluent Mandarin answered the phone. Upon arrival, we discovered he was a Uyghur man. Furthermore, the B&B was fully equipped, with the air conditioning already set up before our arrival. They also offer à la carte dining, and the food was delicious, making it a great value per person. The room was clean, and the service was excellent. From our arrival to our departure, they were very patient with our questions and needs!

The room exceeded my expectations. The balcony was fantastic, and it was super convenient for drying clothes. The staff were also incredibly friendly and easy to chat with, haha! We loved seeing the three little cats playing around. The backyard was very spacious, and it even had a small sandy area where you could relax.
