5-Star Hotels in Gansu, China

This is the first time I've specifically waited to review a hotel: 1. Location: Less than 10 minutes from the high-speed train station, very convenient. 2. Service: Beyond five-star service! They added me on WeChat in advance, and all the hotel staff were incredibly enthusiastic. Every detail was meticulously taken care of, from bottled water available everywhere to free laundry and drying facilities, complete with laundry detergent. In the evenings, there were complimentary sweet soups, milk, and pastries. It was so convenient when traveling with a child and ordering extra food. There were welcome gifts upon check-in and also gifts upon check-out, plus a play area for kids. An excellent hotel! 👍👍👍

This is truly what a hotel should be like. From service to rooms, quality, and class, it perfectly matches the price, exceeding expectations. The stay was exceptionally comfortable. The hotel is right by the Yellow River, offering expansive river views. Walking into the lobby, the first impression was stunning, with a strong sense of design. Opened in 2020, it’s been 6 years, but all facilities in the entire hotel are incredibly well-maintained, with no signs of age or wear; the maintenance level is top-notch. The guest rooms are spacious, the bedding is comfortable, and the details are well-executed. The staff are professional and polite, and service response is prompt. If you're coming to Lanzhou and want to stay by the Yellow River, you can't go wrong with this hotel. It’s a high-quality hotel from my journey to Hexi.

After comparing several guesthouses, I finally chose Burberry, and it certainly didn't disappoint. The guesthouse's decor is absolutely beautiful, and the common areas are very spacious, even featuring a pool. They have outdoor movies at night, and for visiting Mingsha Mountain, they offer free sand shoe covers and a shuttle service. The staff at the guesthouse were incredibly warm and attentive, and their travel photographer took some amazing shots. It was a fantastic experience overall.

For this trip to the Northwest, we stayed at the Crowne Plaza Hotel at both the beginning and end. We stayed in two different rooms for a total of three nights, and it was very comfortable. Returning the car was also convenient. The hotel even upgraded our room type and provided free breakfast for our child. The hotel's beef noodles were delicious, and the freshly squeezed juice was very refreshing.

I brought my parents to stay at the Dongyi Dunhuang, and the overall experience was great. Our family participated in the hotel's mud painting activity together, which was quite interesting. In the morning, we followed a staff member on a tour and listened to him briefly explain many of the hotel's thoughtful design elements. I've stayed in many hotels, and many of them offer various experiential activities. However, activities like mud painting, which truly integrate with the local Dunhuang culture, are actually rare to come across. The hotel itself blends seamlessly with the desert environment. It’s not just a superficial photo-op; you can genuinely feel the essence of Dunhuang here, and I really like it.

An absolute favorite hotel! Managed to capture a photo of the starry sky chandelier in the lobby on the first floor. The hotel environment is fantastic, and the service is top-notch. You can see the cityscape of Lanzhou right from the room. The hotel restaurant is amazing with a very hearty breakfast, and the service is exceptionally attentive. Will definitely stay here again next time!

Perfect for families with kids! We booked this hotel last minute when we arrived in Jiayuguan, and it turned out to be amazing value for money. It was very clean and quiet, and the front desk staff were excellent. Seeing that we were two adults and two children, they upgraded us to a family room. The breakfast was surprisingly the best we had from Xining to Jiayuguan, with even crayfish, noodles, wontons, and rice noodles – absolutely fantastic! And to top it off, when we got into the car, we were pleasantly surprised to find that it had been cleaned for us. Thanks to the driver!

The room is quite spacious. It's right across from Lanzhou West, not far, about a few hundred meters. You can see it as soon as you exit the West Station, but you have to cross a pedestrian bridge. The bridge doesn't have an elevator, so it's inconvenient to go down with luggage. Every time I go to the subway station, I have to use the bridge... I hope this can be improved in the future.

I had an early morning flight, so I opted to stay at the Parc Culture Hotel, which opened in 2025 at Lanzhou Airport, the night before. This hotel is one of the more luxurious options in the area, with very new and complete facilities in spacious rooms. The service was very attentive; they offered a special welcome drink upon check-in. The airport transfer service was excellent; they proactively called to confirm my itinerary in advance, and the driver enthusiastically helped with my luggage. The ride was about 5 minutes. Breakfast offered a wide variety of choices, and in addition to standard fare, I could enjoy authentic Lanzhou specialties like beef noodles and grey beans. This hotel offers great value for money and is perfect for guests with early morning flights or late-night arrivals.

After a few days in Gannan, I specifically chose a hotel with a bathtub and a pool for a relaxing night. The Yellow River view room offers first-class scenery, overlooking both banks of the Yellow River from a high vantage point. The breakfast was also good, the room was spacious enough, and the service was excellent – anything I needed was provided quickly. There's also a Reader Culture & Creativity shop in the lobby downstairs. I'm a hundred percent satisfied! The price was surprisingly similar to a three-star campsite in Gannan. The cost of living in Lanzhou is surprisingly affordable!
