Very nice living room, friendly staff that speaks english well and will help you with your travel! Can highly recommend. It is not so easy to find, look out for a small stair going up from the night market.

Nice,clean and really welcome host. From Dunhuang train station you can use bus (5 yuan)to downtown then navigate to the hostel.

Truly a welcoming place, the keeper is chill and fluent in English, there are two super cute doggos running around and it is exceptionally clean. The location directly on the nightmarket is amazing, but it can be annoying to go home in the evening because of all of the people

Recommendations and help to organize my stay in Dunhuang were great. Friendly, enthusiastic and dynamic service. Location is excellent. Stylish and comfortable facilities. Whether for a night or a few weeks in Dunhuang, highly recommend for both foreigners, locals, backpackers or groups.

The place is super located and very clean. Dorje and his wife are always around to help, also after we left with travel tips at our next place. Very unique with world class standard! Absolutely recommend and outstanding in China. Beishang Inn owned by backpackers for backpackers!

Great location, right in the night market (surprisingly not too loud from my experience) and also very close to the bus to the airport/train station/Mogao Caves. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They gave information about the area and places to eat and also helped me book a tour. The facilities were also great, with clean showers and a large area for reading/relaxing. Excellent place overall!

This is a real travellers spot - the host speaks english, as does his wife, and they run the hostel for six months a year, and travel the other six. It’’s well set up, the perfect location in the heart of the night market, walkable to the major sites, and the hosts will help you with anything you need, be it figuring out transportation or just doing laundry.

Nice clean rooms and comfortable beds. Located next to the night market. Noise can be heard in the room from the hallways and showers.

Really recommend this place! Very nice hostel owners who know a lot about the area and give some great recommendations. The location was also absolutely ideal with good food and shopping nearby. The rooms itself had comfy beds, big spacious lockers, good airconditioner, and enough room for multiple people. The showers and chilling area were also really nice. And not to forget, the dogs were absolutely adorable and very friendly!! One of the best hostels I have been to in a while.
