Guest UserThe room was more comfortable than a hotel; the experience felt more like staying for a few days at the home of a friend who knows Dunhuang well.
In the afternoon, I watched sheep roaming in the courtyard; in the evening, I sat by the wheat field eating hand-pulled lamb; the staff picked alfalfa from the field, which was soon on the table; and as darkness fell, the Milky Way stretched out before me—it was all authentic everyday life, not the contrived, trendy feel of some online sensations. When I left, the owner even gave me a bag of pears from their own orchard, saying, ”Take these to eat on the road.” That feeling of being treated like royalty was more valuable than any other service. I would definitely recommend it again.

GladysZI brought my parents to Dunhuang and after comparing many options, we chose Xiyu. It definitely didn't disappoint! The hotel service was incredibly attentive. They helped us arrange transportation based on our schedule, and every night when we returned, there were delicious food and wine in our room. Being right next to Mingsha Mountain, the sunset views were amazing, and we could also enjoy a quiet night's rest!

WochaoaichixiangcaiDunhuang Hotel is arguably a must-try hotel when visiting Dunhuang. The parking lot in front of the hotel is huge, making parking very convenient. The front desk lobby is also very grand, and the murals are beautiful. When we checked in, they saw we had a child and upgraded us to a family room. Upon check-in, we received camel dolls and chilled apricot peel tea. The room wasn't very large, but it had a strong exotic feel. The Stargazing Pavilion on the top floor of the hotel offers coffee, breakfast, and the opportunity to watch the stars at night, with panoramic desert views. Overall, the experience was excellent. You definitely need to spend at least one night at Dunhuang Hotel when in Dunhuang.

Anonymous User1. The hotel offers a complimentary airport pick-up service, and from the moment I was greeted, I could feel the staff's warm hospitality.
2. I absolutely loved the hotel's 'wild luxury' aesthetic – it's simple yet grand, with a unique and pleasant aroma.
3. The hotel's travel photography service is outstanding! I got the best set of photos I've ever had. Both the makeup artist and photographer were incredibly professional. I was instantly thrilled with the retouched photos just 5 minutes after the shoot, and even more delighted to learn they'd spend another three days on meticulous post-processing. The terrace above the lobby offers a fantastic photo op, especially with the red canopy against the desert backdrop – it's truly magnificent and a unique scene.
4. Given how dry Dunhuang is, the hotel thoughtfully provided complimentary face masks and lotion.
5. They also offered a free transfer to my next hotel.

Guest UserOverall, the stay was very comfortable, and you can really see the attention to detail. The room has a great layout, with clean, soft bedding that made it easy to unwind and fall asleep quickly. The soundproofing on the windows was quite effective—even though the room faced the street, there was virtually no noise disturbance, ensuring a solid night's sleep. The bathroom's wet-dry separation was very practical, and the hot water came on fast with consistent pressure, which was a definite plus for the shower experience.
The room came with the basics like tea bags and bottled water, and the mini-fridge chilled things nicely. The only slight drawback was that the power outlets were a bit tucked away, requiring me to move the nightstand slightly to plug in my charger. Also, it would be great if they could add a small shelf for personal items in the future.
All in all, it offers great value for money and is ideal for both short business trips and leisure travel. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit.

The hotel's location is extremely convenient—just a few dozen meters' walk to the Dunhuang Shazhou Night Market, making it super easy to explore and grab late-night bites. Getting to various scenic spots is also a breeze. The 9th-floor panoramic breakfast room offers breathtaking views, with window seats overlooking the Mingsha Mountain in the distance, and the breakfast spread is quite diverse. The young staff at the front desk were also very friendly and even gave us a small gift. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with everything. 👍

Guest UserThe hotel environment is clean and grand, with immaculate and fresh public areas. The rooms are a good size and thoroughly cleaned, with no dust even in the corners. The amenities are thoughtful, including a humidifier specifically provided to combat the dry local weather, preventing dry throat during sleep. The bathroom features a wet-and-dry separation, with consistent hot water and strong water pressure—after getting covered in sand at Mingsha Mountain during the day, taking a refreshing shower upon return was a great stress-reliever. The mattress and pillows were comfortable, the curtains provided great blackout, and the soundproofing was good, ensuring a very quiet night. The hotel has comprehensive facilities, including a self-service laundry room with dryers so dirty travel clothes don't need to pile up, a gym for a quick workout, and free parking for self-driving guests. Overall, the facilities are new, the environment is clean, and the location is very convenient.

goingnowI recently took my family to Dunhuang and we stayed at the Dunhuang Tianhe Hotel for five nights. Overall, I found the facilities impressive and the service incredibly warm, making it a perfect choice for families. Here are a few authentic highlights from our stay:
🏨 Spacious and Comfortable Rooms, Ideal for Longer Stays
We booked a king room, and the hotel itself is quite grand. The room size was very generous, with high ceilings, so there was no cramped feeling at all. Staying for five nights, there was ample space for all our luggage and activities, and the kids had room to play.
👨👩👧👦 Thoughtful and Attentive Family-Friendly Services
I especially want to commend the hotel's service. For five consecutive days, the room service was meticulous. Every evening, after a tiring day of playing at Mingsha Mountain, the hotel thoughtfully prepared foot-soaking tubs and hot water for us. Soaking our feet after a day in the desert was incredibly refreshing – anyone who's tried it knows how effective it is! For families with young children, the hotel also offers family rooms and a kids' club.
🌳 Ambiance and Location Are a Plus
The hotel boasts a Han-Tang style garden design, incorporating elements of Dunhuang culture, giving it a very grand appearance. It's also conveniently located right next to the Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Scenic Area, making it very easy to get to the attractions.
After five nights, the service, room size, and family-friendliness were all excellent. It's a reliable choice for a family trip to Dunhuang. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit to Dunhuang.
