up north hostel

Greetings from our thrilling cycling journey that began in Xi’an and unfolded towards Dun Huang. Our lodging arrangements, thoughtfully made via Trip.com for August 24-27, 2023 unveiled an exceptional experience that we’re eager to share. The establishment, overseen by the affable Padma and Dorje, left an indelible mark on our sojourn. Nestled in the heart of Dun Huang, the inn effortlessly harmonizes ******* influences with the comforts of a welcoming abode. The spaciousness and impeccable maintenance of our accommodations, coupled with the inviting reading/working enclave, afforded us both tranquility and productivity. This inviting setup was made even more special by the attentive presence of Padma and Dorje. Their hospitalities proved to be a highlight of our stay, as they not only welcomed us warmly but also lent their expertise to enhance our exploration of Dun Huang’s treasures. Their guidance led us to uncover remarkable places that enriched our travel narrative. It is with utmost sincerity that we endorse this establishment to fellow travelers seeking both comfort and cultural immersion.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hostel is uniquely artistic with a charming fusion of Western design, setting it apart from others. A highlight was our wonderful conversation with the lady boss, who was delightful. Cleanliness is impeccable—a definite 10/10. We also appreciated the luggage storage service while we toured the desert. The location is excellent within the market, but do note that you need to take a short walk to the main road for taxi access.

Just wow! It's not a hostel, it's a cozy and warm house with so many cool pieces of furniture. I loved the little details and the spacious living room, plenty of toilets and showers, rooftop, not to talk about the lovely owners who are very friendly and helpful. I had a train at night after checkout and they let me chill in the common area until I wanted. The location is straight into the night market, however is not that loud at night (they even provide free earplugs).

This hostel is really lovely. The owners are so friendly and helpful. There are a lot of personal touches in the common areas, especially in the large sitting room. There’s space for washing and drying clothes, as well as filtered water available. I had a room with private bath, that was nicely appointed with lots of thoughtful details. I would certainly stay here again!

The owner is very friendly. The room is clean and located in the center of the square. There is no smoke and it is not noisy.

Very nice hostel run by a young couple, Bei Ma and DuonJi. They have 2 cute dogs and Xiao He are very friendly with guest. All room, bathroom, common area so clean. Highly recommend stay here
