2-Star Hotels in Turpan

First, the environment is beautiful and clean, the accommodation facilities are new, and daily necessities are complete. After comparing other guesthouses in Grape Valley, this was arguably the most beautiful. The owners managed the place impeccably; accommodation, meals, laundry, tea, chatting, and even just relaxing were all very convenient. Guests could pick grapes freely in the yard, and if they wanted chilled watermelon or cantaloupe, they could simply tell the owner, and it would be cut and served immediately. Second, the service was exceptionally attentive. The owners were kind, friendly, and sincere, always responsive to guests' requests and always smiling. I think this is one of the most important reasons for their success. Third, the owner's wife's cooking skills were superb; the food was delicious. Our group of 10 ate every meal there. Once, after exploring the desert, we arrived at the guesthouse close to midnight. We hurriedly called the owner to order food, and when we arrived, a hot meal was served—it truly felt like coming home. Turpan was the last stop on our Xinjiang trip, and it marked a perfect end to our journey. Thank you for your hospitality, boss! Thank you for giving us grapes. We wish you a prosperous business and abundant wealth!

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 Baoju hotel is located near the middle of town within a short driving distance to the Kumtag desert facilities. The staff were very friendly. Although they could not speak English, they made every good effort to meet all of our needs. The hotel is located in a strip of small businesses and restaurants. It even is directly attached to a convenience store so you don’t need to leave the building for those small necessities. Our stay was pleasant and restful.

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.

Very unique B&B First impression: wooden pavilion, blue bricks and tiles, antique style Check-in experience: The little girl at the front desk was warm and thoughtful. I encountered a small problem when checking into the family room. After communicating with the store, she decisively changed the room and upgraded it for free. It was very heart-warming. My favorite: I like the big terrace on the second floor. It is accompanied by stars at night and shaded by ancient trees during the day. It is so comfortable to drink tea with my family.

The location of the hotel is very good, in the Grape Valley Scenic Area, opposite the style garden. The service attitude is very good and friendly, and we book a car to pick up the train station. Can self-service laundry. Just stayed in the room, the health is general, a bit smelly. After turning on the lights at night, I saw that there were spider webs and quilt covers were dirty. It may be stained on the bedside. The bedside board was quite gray. We wiped the bedside before we dared to sleep. I told the boss the next day and the room was cleaned up after that. Breakfast is simple but enough.

The room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. The shower pressure was excellent, and having laundry facilities was a huge bonus. Absolutely fantastic! I would definitely choose this hotel again if I get the chance.

Wow~ The facilities in this hotel are amazing! The environment is beautiful, the service is very considerate, and you can even visit the winery for free? ! It’s really awesome. I’ll bring my cat with me next time I come here for vacation! 🐱

The hotel is in a good location, easy to find on the main road, with a parking lot, convenient parking. The room is spacious and has new facilities. The room is clean and sanitary. The bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas, and the sink meets hotel standards. The bedding is also very good, and the sleep is very comfortable. The hotel has a washing machine for washing clothes, and the cost performance is very high. I stayed there for a few days while playing in Turpan. The Xinjiang girl at the hotel front desk was warm and polite, and the check-in experience was very good!

Couldn’t be happier with the stay. Arrived early morning at Turpan rail station and the owner granted early checkin without a fuss. Super convenient given the tiring overnight train journey. Owner was also kind enough to arrange for tour driver for one day sightseeing. The area is awesome! Next door is a local vegetable and fruit shop where things can be purchased super cheaply. Bought a large watermelon (in season) and the owner lent a knife to cut it open. Delicious! The room is great; well appointed, clean, breezy. Only slight issue with the bathroom where the water didn’t drain fast enough so need to shower carefully to prevent overflow into the room. Overall, it was a stay well beyond expectation. The owner was super nice and helpful.
