As other reviewers have indicated this hotel is much better than other hotels along the Silk road. Service is good, the staff pleasant. The rooms are decently decorated, the beds comfortable with clean linen. The shower worked well. There is a good rooftop terrace and the location is good

If you go to Dunhuang then I urge you to stay at this hotel. The staff couldn't do enough to make our stay with them a fantastic stay for which we thank them. The view from the rooftop terrace was the best in China especially sunrise and sunset. The rooms were clean and comfortable and we had one of the... More

Service has been satisfactory,expecially if compared with other hotels of same class in Nord West China. The room are nice, with local furniture and clean.

I have travelled around North/Western China quite a lot and I have to say that the Silk Rd Hotel stands out considerably - for its comfort, location, and decent English speaking staff. It is by far the nicest hotel in town. Yes, there could be improvements - with their breakfast perhaps, but on balance its always a pleasure to go... More

The Silk Road Hotel has a lot of charm. It is designed to remind one of the old : caravansaries that lined the silk road and is located beside some magnificient dunes. The rooms are spacious but the beds are hard and the water temperature is inconsistent. But no matter what else, the view across the dunes from the roof... More

Just spent two nights at the Hotel and wish it could have been longer.Rooms, service and food were all satisfactory in my opinion and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly which to me is an important factor when staying away from home. The rooftop restaurant offers fantastic views of Mingsha mountain and is a must for views of Sunrise... More

Our room was OK to start off with but it took 15 minutes to get hot water from the shower and the "view" from the room was of a cement wall. The lobby was nice and so is its garden area. The breakfast was OK. The location is good since it is close to the market area and lots of... More
