This is a review of the New Dap Hostel (Gracetown) - they’re not on TA yet!

3 night stay at the tail end of a long trip. This place was so refreshing after Tashkurgan and Kashgar. Beautifully decorated and soooooo clean.

We had a twin room and were so pleased with it. Great decor, great bathroom, great toilet, great towels. Our shower was a bit slow to drain which we have reported. The linen was nice. Firm mattress, which I like. Air con fantastic. Shower hot and reliable. 

Hot water on tap from front desk and you can buy fresh coffee and cold drinks. No food available. There is a small mini mart next door for milk, yoghurt, noodles, etc. lots of fruit stands and lots of bread shops nearby. For dinner there are a lot of options of good local food nearby. There’s a big supermarket 2kms walk away.

Big thanks to Wayne- fixed transport for us to local attractions, was an all round great guy and helped with a cab to the train station plus wrote out some super helpful phrases for us. Thanks Wayne!!

Fantastic Stay- New Dap Hostel 

We stayed for one night in this hostel, and will remember it as one of the most unique hostels that we had ever stayed at. It was a little hard to find, but all the locals are familiar with it. It is located in an alley just off 8th Ring Road. The name of the hostel is on a blue sign at the entrance to the lane, with the hostel name in Mandarin and English. The Alley has a brick surface, and the hostel is at the second white tiled entrance on the left. The entrance design is traditional Uighur with a grapevine at the top. The door is a faded blue with more grape, flower and dancing character symbols. Press the button for access.

On entry the reception desk is to your left and the courtyard area which consists of a grapevine and many comfortable seats is straight ahead. There is a refrigerator which stocks water, beer and other beverages for a reasonable cost. The hostel will assist with taxis for tours and other arrangements. The two ladies who we spoke to both knew a little english which was enough for us to communicate. The room was simple yet clean and comfortable and the wifi worked well. Our bathroom was supposed to be private, but we ended up sharing it with a couple in the next room. This arrangement was still better than using the general bathrooms.

Laundry service was provided for a reasonable cost. We found the area to be a great location to start exploring Turpan, as it was a 15 minute walk to the Museum, outside of which there are many transportation options. We thought that this was one of the best hostels that we had ever stayed in.

Unique hostel

The hostel is very beautiful, with vineyards hanging around the common area which really added to the atmosphere. It's a relaxing place to read a book and meet other travellers. Rooms were also very clean. I loved the persian (or maybe Uyghur?) rugs inside the room which was very clean and tidy.
While I was there, there was a girl who accidentally left her phone in the car while hitchhiking. The hostel owners were very nice in trying to help with the police etc. to help her recover it.

Relaxing yet social place to stay!

Very friendly and english speaking staff, good coffee, big hangout area on topchans under vines. Great place to meet other travellers. Rooms and shared bathroom are basic but nicely made and clean. I really liked the bbq too! Thanks for the wonderful stay guys!

Best hostel in china

I don’t think this hostel is much cheaper for an individual room than one of the hotels, but it’s a it’s still such a great place. It may be lacking in some comforts such as en-suite bathrooms, but the workers are extremely helpful, the open courtyard with common tables where guests mingle and share experiences is what made my stay in the city so enjoyable. The decor is tasteful and fun. My 9-year-old son absolutely loved how well he was treated and the freedom he felt to play and meet the other guests and staff. 

Great little place 

Very lovely hostel in two traditional dwellings located very close to a grape farming village. I highly recommend taking a walk towards the village as you'll see some local life. 

My private room was very large, clean and comfortable. Bathroom was shared with another room, but because it was low season there were no one there. Accordingly, I pretty much had my private courtyard. The only downside is that it was a little cold in early spring and I couldn't find any heating. Aircon was not connected. The host did provide a pretty thick cover for me. 

The atmosphere of the place is extremely social, run by a young family, lovely volunteers and a golden retriever. I had a wonderful time having dinner with the family and really hoped I stayed a day more. I will definitely stay here again if I'm back in the area.

Lovely place with a friendly atmosphere

We were greeted by a pretty female staff/volunteer upon arrival.. the main lounge is surrounded by grapevine and you could ask the staff to get it for you for free. Beer is also available at 5 yuan per large bottle to chill in the beautiful lounge. They have a golden retriever and two cats which would sometimes climb up to you or even go into the room. Traditional breakfast could be found at the nearby stores 5min away, while dinner at night markets are about 15min walk away. Wifi at hostel is bad though and the mattress is a bit too thin causing slight bad ache if you are a side sleeper..

Beautiful hostel with free grapes to chill

This was a little tucked away, but only a 15 minute walk to the city museum and night market and cemetery.  The staff speak English and are very helpful. There are friendly cats and a dog, lots of families and fellow foreigners around. The coffee was excellent and the common area is a lovely open air courtyard with grapes on arbors shading the area for a nice cosy community. The one big downside is that our private room did not have a bathroom and we had to walk through a dormitory room to access it. Still had a lovely stay!

Lovely place, no private bathroom 

My private room was ok but there were a few things I didn't like about it:-
I had to walk through a dormitory to get to it, and it didn't lock very well. It was also directly at the side of the lane so I had late night and early morning traffic.

Staff were lovely. Bathrooms extremely clean (no private bathrooms). 10 mins walk to eateries on the main r/oad.
