This is a dingy hotel, but survivable except for the temperature. If it has air conditioning, they keep it turned way back, because it was barely cooler inside than out. The room was stifling at night. I was with a tour group and everybody complained about it.

We ate lunch at a newer hotel whose name I didn't catch. Try to stay at that one instead.

Don't stay at this hotel. The rooms are dirty, the towels had stains and looked unwashed, and the food and service was not good. We had to fight with the waitress for a new glass of water. There is a new hotel down the street that looks to be much newer and nicer. Even the bathrooms in the lobby looked worse than side of the road rest stop bathrooms - I'd rather go behind a bush. Stay far away from this hotel.

Looks fine from the outside but this hotel was disappointing with very poor food. The location was not good we would not have liked to go out alone from this hotel.
The whole hotel was much in need of refurbishment and the carpets in the rooms were really filthy.
Don't be deceived by photos of this hotel choose another in Turpan.

We have just come back from Turpan. This hotel is definately not cheap for what it is. Apparently it was only built 15 years ago we were shocked as it looked like something straight out of the 1960s! The furniture, carpet, bed and towels were downright dirty. Luckily we had silk sleeping bags to keep anything nasty out. The staff told us that the Hong Kong comapany who own it do not spend any money maintaining it - and it showed! Unfortunately there was no other hotel option on this trip. However, apparently there is a new hotel opening up soon (cannot remember the name) but would recommend that one. The only upside was the food at the hotel was FAB - very tasty. They also have a dance show in the evening which we really enjoyed. Turpan is well worth a visit - just don't stay here!
