Hotel Information
General

The Silk Road Dunhuang Hotel is founded in 1995. Situated against the backdrop of the picturesque Mingsha Sand Dunes. The hotel captures the spirit of the Tang Dynasty with its unique architectural design - the large rooftops and long corridors of the Han and Tang dynasties; the typical enclosed courtyard style design and mud walls of the northwestern part of China; and the replica of the late Tang, Ming and Qing dynasties furniture. All these work together to recapture the flavour of a bygone era with their simplicity and use of natural building materials.

Thank you for your e-mail - I'm very happy to tell you about our experience with your company and the hotel in Dunhuang.

First of all, your company is very professional, friendly and helpful and the arrangements went very smoothly and with no problems. We will be happy to use you again if we visit China.

The Silk Road Dunhuang is excellent. We were greeted very well, even though we arrived at 5am! and given a room with a lovely view of the sand dunes, as we had requested.

All the staff could not have been more helpful, the food was good (there was a restaurant with English translation of the menu) the rooms were lovely and spotlessly clean and all the facilities were fine. We were even given a toy camel as a souvenir of our stay there!

I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Although a little out of town, that is not a problem as taxis are very cheap, and the location near to the sand dunes more than makes up for it being out of town.

The only thing I would suggest that would make it even better is if there were a shady area in the garden with chairs and umbrellas to sit and relax and have a drink. It gets very hot there, and this would make for a very pleasant hour or two in the afternoon. Otherwise - a super hotel and excellent few days.

Best wishes,
Chris Mosley

Dunhuang is a very beautiful place, and the Exterior of the hotel looks like a typical Chinese castle, and the interior is completely local Chinese style, the hotel lobby is special decorated and very spacious, the hotel room is equipped with local traditional facilities, it is very clean, extraordinary and spacious. The hotel staffs are well-skilled and courteous, also very helpful when you ask for direction.
As for location, well, although not in the city center, the hotel is not located in some desolate or remote place; since Dunhuang is not a very big city, it is just near to the Echoing-Sand Dune and the Crescent Lake, with convenient transportation to the city center, just 10 minutes drive. In all, this hotel is the ideal accommodation in Dunhuang. To me, it is the most impressive hotel on my China Tour. All of us love it very much. Highly recommended!!!!

This place is so beautiful the photos dont even do it justice. The walkways along the courtyards with the big red Chinese lanterns, the local high school kids with their beautiful costumes doing their traditional dances in the formal courtyard... The photo of the rooftop patio with the dunes in the distance is exactly like that. You can sit up there and have Colombian coffee in the morning and good local wine at night. Saw the biggest shooting star Ive ever seen. The hotel rooms are very clean and comfortable. Big walk-in slate shower. Great massages in the spa. Wonderful experience. Dunhuang is an idyllic little Chinese city. Dont miss the night market and the silk carpet workshop. Not to mention the camel rides, the grottoes, the museums... I hope to return someday.
