Jinjiang Inn Select Hotel (Dunhuang Bookstore Night Market)

Simple accommodation in a good location by the river, some rooms with a pleasant river view.

Stayed for two nights. The value for money was good. The hotel itself is not very clean and a little outdated, but the linen was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The window of the room did not close properly, and the nights were very cold, with 16°C inside the room. Because the windows did not close, a lot of outside noise was heard at all hours (there was an outdoor street piano that people played at all hours of the night). The room was also very small, with no space for placing luggage or anything. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

The location is ideal for access to markets, shopping, eateries, and the adjacent bookstore which has a coffee shop and was one of the real treats of the city (we took pictures; it is a top-ten experience in its own right!). We took taxis to the grottos and the dunes, and it was easy to make arrangements. This is a terrific spot for runners/exercise fans, since the walkway along the river —immediately next door — is well suited for both activities. The room was very comfortable and had a mix of disposable towels and regular. The linen was pristine. There was coffee/tea and a hot pot in the room. Our view was of the traffic circle but we didn’t hear traffic except on a couple of occasions. There is a place to leave luggage if you arrive early / leave late. I’m not sure how much English was spoken at the desk but the clerks were very patient with intermediate-to-advanced Mandarin conversations. Would recommend this more than some of the other tourist hotels just for ease of eating!

Nice place, very clean and tidy. They provide coffee and tea every day.

We had a good experience, the hotel is great, location top, service is okay.

Good value for money. Location beside the river with beautiful view at night.
