Dunhuang Zhongzhou International Hotel

This is a great hotel 10 min walk from the night market. Great buffet breakfast, free laundry. The staff is really trying hard to be super polite and hospitable. The only issue with our stay was one of the two rooms we booked had an horrific sewage smell emanating from the bathroom. Think rotten cabbage mixed with urine, seeping out into the room and the adjacent hallway. It’s probably not the hotel’s fault — not a lot of water in the desert after all — but we felt like they should have relocated us or compensated us in some significant way. 😷🤢🤮

This is the best hotel we stayed in this trip. The service is top notch, the front desk opened door for us, took over our luggage, greeted us with big smile and hot tea. She even took our luggage to our room and showed us around. The breakfast is free and very tasty, bottled water is unlimited, which is very helpful. This hotel also host foreign passport holders. I would strongly recommend you to try this hotel if you ever decide to travel to Dunhuang.

The great location! The room is large. The room service is perfect. Friendly crew.

This was a great hotel for us! The room was quiet and comfortable. Even though they don’t have non-smoking rooms, they gave our room a treatment to remove any smoke odors, and we didn’t smell any smoke! However, sometimes we saw people smoking in the halls near the elevator doors which was unpleasant, or in the restaurant which was also unpleasant. But overall, it didn’t bother us. The breakfast was good except for the terrible coffee which did not even taste like coffee. The service is very good though, with friendly and kind staff. And they have very good clothes washing machines available to guests, for free. It was very helpful! I would stay here again.

The service was exceedingly good at ZhongZhou hotel. I stayed with my wife and had a second room for my daughter and son in law. The lobby always had someone to open doors/press the elevator button for guests. What really stood out to me was the attitude of the workers. Breakfast typically starts at 7, when I mentioned I had to leave at 6:15, the worker at the restaurant told me to come early, and she would have it ready for me. Unfortunately no fitness center but the laundry room was a plus. There were also plenty of washing machines (no dryers). This hotel truly felt like a second home. The rooms and beds were also comfortable and clean. A fantastic stay overall, would definitely stay here again.

Large, clean, well-appointed rooms with effective air-con, infinite free bottles of water, a good breakfast and just 15mins walk from the lively night markets and bridge. Trip bookings also get a 3pm checkout. We also stayed in a supposedly more high-end hotel on the edge of town at double the price, but we much preferred this hotel.

Very kind staff, providing excellent service. Rooms were clean and spacious. A cat seems to be the owner of the place and hangs around (in case you’re allergic) to make sure everything runs smoothly. One point to improve: a working coffee machine and a dryer for clothes.

The staff went out of their way to be welcoming and helpful. The hotel is conveniently located near downtown shops and restaurants. There is a great selection of foods for breakfast and the room is spacious and comfortable.

really lovely hotel! They were very kind to us and immensely helpful with pick ups and buying tickets for the show. Everyone was very polite and welcoming, a great stay.
