  • The location, atmosphere, and overall relaxed vibe of the place was awesome. The only thing I'd complain about are the toilets and showers... sometimes the toilets didn't flush, and the first time I took a shower there was only scalding hot water. Normally if you'd go out and come back later, these things would be fixed. So it wasn't that big a deal. I'd definitely come back. The location so close to the dunes was awesome! I'd definitely recommend doing a camel ride thru this place!

  • Even though it was fun to be near the sand dunes, the staff and facilities were really bad. The staff were not helpful to me at all, starting off with having no record of my reference number for the reservation. The staff was 3 young guys who just seemed annoyed that you needed anything from them at all. It was very loud every night until about 1 a.m. in the courtyard (which every room faces) and everything was really dirty and disorganized. I wouldn't stay there again given the choice.

  • this place is not bad when you consider the proximity to the Dunes and if you want to be able to climb them at sunrise or sunset, or get on a camel for a night trip into the desert. however I think the Charley Johng's in the center of town might have better facilities. also none of the staff here speaks any english, and my weak chinese was strained. they were however quite nice, especially when I needed to cancel a night because my I was forced to take an earlier train. food options here are
