Dunhuang Silk Road Yiyuan Hotel

Good hotel , very close to night market

Everything OK!

The location of the hotel is right next to the night market. Only 10 minutes by taxi to crescent lake. We booked the family room. Very nice and spacious. The king bed however was very hard. I wouldn’t even call it a mattress. Housekeeping staff was very friendly and helpful. The staffmember at the check in could be friendlier, but all other staff was really friendly. Breakfast had enough options, also for foreigners. Our kids were a little disappointed that the table tennis table was under maintenance

Very good location. It is the central downtown and close to everything. toilet faucet and water pot heater broken

In general, the experience was quite good. Starting with the check in, it was fast and with no hurdles. All of the staff in here are quite friendly and maintain a smile; this makes you feel welcome. In the room, I didn't find any cleanliness issues; it was quite the opposite: from the very beginning, the room was well kept. The location is just the best because there are so many shopping and dining options at a walking distance. A good example is the Shazhou market to which I went to several times during my stay there. It's also very easy to hop on a taxi and visit the sand dunes and the crescent moon lake given that it's close. I tried the breakfast Buffet one time and wasn't particularly impressed by it. For 58 yuan, I got to choose mostly carbs (sweet potato, rice, steamed buns, bread slices...more rice) and boiled eggs. As mentione above, you would be better off if you go out of the hotel to find better food.

Very convenient...the airport bus stops outside and the night market and train ticket service are close by. The room was spacious and excellent value. The staff were polite and efficient, and at least one spoke English. They welcome foreign guests.

We stayed in the suite for families. While there was lots of room, the room with the double bed had no window. This was not nice. We live in China and like the Chinese firm beds, but these were beyond firm and not comfortable. The pool was why we wanted to stay here, but we were not informed that it cost 25 yuan per person to use, including kids, until after our swim. Disappointing! However, the staff are very friendly. It was strange to us that they constantly entered our room when we were not there to leave services like a foot bath or a humidifier, which were not requested. The whole place has a run down feel that is kind of creepy and at this price, other hotels in the area are nicer.
