Jiaotong Hotel (交通宾馆) $$
Pronunciation: jiāotōng bīnguăn Find it on a Map
Description: The Jiaotong is rated high by most travel guides for three reasons: 1) location 2) price and 3) they have CITS, a major China travel company. They recently renovated and are located right across from the Turpan night market and bazaar. This hotel is highly recommended by most China travel guides, however they are not the best hotel in the Turpan area.

Turpan Grand Hotel (吐鲁番大饭店) $$
Pronunciation: tŭlŭfān dàfàndiàn Find it on a Map
Description: This 3-star hotel is another moderately-priced place with a variety of rooms to meet your budget. It’s a 5-minute walk to the city park and a nice supermarket just opened up across the street. Although it is nice and clean, most tourist don’t usually stay here because it lacks any Uyghur influence and is a located away from most of the tourist attractions in the city (although they’re not far!).
Oasis Hotel (丝路绿洲宾馆) $$
Pronunciation: sīlùlǜzhōu bīnguăn Find it on a Map
Description: The Oasis Hotel is another one that underwent great renovations during 2009. The Oasis Hotel’s greatest asset is its Islamic architecture and Uyghur influences readily seen when one first approaches the hotel. Rooms will be reasonably priced for the area. It is located a bit further away from the city center but it is next to the beautiful grape trellis that runs north-south through the city.

Turpan Hotel (吐鲁番宾馆) $$
Pronunciation: tŭlŭfān bīnguăn Find it on a Map
Description: Located a short walk from city life, the Turpan hotel boasts a swimming pool and a quiet atmosphere. Unfortunately the building itself is quite old and in desperate need of renovation. Rooms aren’t expensive but lack an inviting atmosphere. Next door to the Turpan Hotel is John’s Cafe, a useful place for tourist to get western food, rent a bike or find out tour information.
