Fodor's Expert Review Turpan Jiaotong Hotel

This budget option, whose rooms have been renovated, isn't a bad place to stay, despite noise from the busy street and bazaar across the street. The on-site travel agency makes arranging tours a snap, although the staff can be a bit pushy. If you come in the off-season, a deluxe suite with a small balcony overlooking the bazaar can be had for as little as Y200.
