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! 👍👍👍

I think this hotel is probably the best in Lanzhou, truly perfect for everyone to stay at. 😍😍😍 First, from the very beginning of check-in, as soon as you arrive by taxi 🚖, the hotel's shuttle staff will enthusiastically open the car door for you and guide you to the check-in lobby. Secondly, when checking in, there are welcome drinks with many choices, but I think the sour plum juice is the best, it's delicious, sweet and sour, and if anyone wants a hot drink, the hotel will even heat it up for you, which is really thoughtful. 🥹 Second, the breakfast here is also incredibly rich and delicious 😋, with a wide variety of options. Signature Lanzhou dishes like beef buns and Lanzhou beef noodles, along with many other local specialties, are all freshly prepared on-site, making them safe and reliable. The chefs 🧑‍🍳 are also very kind and friendly. Third, the hotel rooms are excellent. This time, we booked a twin room and a king room. Both of these allowed us to see our 'Mother River,' the Yellow River, directly through the floor-toceiling windows. We could also see people riding sheepskin rafts and speedboats below through the window. (Of course, we tried both of those ourselves). Fourth, the location is very convenient. Directly opposite the hotel is a park, and if you walk further left into the Waterwheel Park, you can find speedboats and sheepskin rafts to ride, which is where we took ours. There's also a shopping mall nearby, which was great. Finally, when we checked out, a very kind bellhop helped us take our luggage to the car and even gave us a farewell gift. Overall, this hotel is impeccable.

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.

1. The hotel offers a complimentary airport pick-up service, and from the moment I was greeted, I could feel the staff's warm hospitality. 2. I absolutely loved the hotel's 'wild luxury' aesthetic – it's simple yet grand, with a unique and pleasant aroma. 3. The hotel's travel photography service is outstanding! I got the best set of photos I've ever had. Both the makeup artist and photographer were incredibly professional. I was instantly thrilled with the retouched photos just 5 minutes after the shoot, and even more delighted to learn they'd spend another three days on meticulous post-processing. The terrace above the lobby offers a fantastic photo op, especially with the red canopy against the desert backdrop – it's truly magnificent and a unique scene. 4. Given how dry Dunhuang is, the hotel thoughtfully provided complimentary face masks and lotion. 5. They also offered a free transfer to my next hotel.

I have to give a perfect score for my business trip stay! It was raining and the temperature dropped in Lanzhou on the night of my check-in, but luckily the hotel service completely saved the bad weather. Initially, the hot water in my room on the 48th floor wasn't hot enough, so I contacted the front desk to switch to another room on the same floor. The duty manager, Mia, showed me other rooms on the same floor and tested the water temperature. When she found that none of them met the standard, she arranged for me to move to the 36th floor. She even pre-tested the water temperature in the new room and helped me move all my luggage. The whole process was efficient and gentle, truly making me feel at home. I highly commend such professional service and will definitely choose this hotel again when I come back to Lanzhou!

I chose this hotel because it's the closest to Lanzhou West Station and offers a shuttle service. During check-in, I immediately booked the shuttle for the next day. The hotel called the following morning to say that due to the rain, the shuttle would leave 30 minutes earlier. So we went to the lobby to wait for the car. We were almost late for our train when the driver finally showed up in a 7-seater vehicle. There were 9 of us, so two people had to share a seat. Instead of dropping us off at the departure gate, we were taken to the underground parking lot. Everyone had to run to the ticket gate to catch the train. It was a bad experience.

This airport transit hotel deserves a perfect score! The shuttle service was very punctual, and it's only a few minutes' drive to and from the airport, making it ideal for late-night arrivals or early morning flights. It's an excellent choice for a layover. The staff were friendly, and the check-in/check-out process was simple and efficient. It's perfectly suited for transit travelers in every way, and I would definitely stay here again on my next layover.

I booked a double room with a river view, and you can indeed see the river and the bridge from there. The bed in the room was moderately comfortable, and the hygiene was good. The hotel's location is excellent, especially for those traveling by car, as it's not far from the highway exit and has an above-ground parking lot. If you turn right out of the hotel, you'll reach the Yellow River. Since it's not a major tourist spot, it's less crowded, and enjoying the breeze by the river is very pleasant. If you turn left out of the hotel and cross an intersection, you'll find a 'carb heaven' with several delicious eateries like Chuntai Shouzhua, Jinqiang, Mogouyan Beef Noodles, Guoyi Beef Noodles, and Fangha. There are also charging stations nearby. It's a bit of a distance from Zhongshan Bridge, about a 10 RMB taxi ride.

On this trip to Dunhuang, I stayed at the Sheraton Hotel. The customer service manager, Anna, was incredibly helpful and attentive. During peak season, hotel rooms were scarce, and I had only booked one night. Anna assisted me in extending my stay at the discounted platform rate. She also helped me book tickets for 'See Dunhuang Again' and even gave me a 30 RMB fruit voucher. I really appreciate Anna's thoughtful and meticulous service. Although the hotel room wasn't huge, it was very cozy and comfortable. You could even see distant views of Mingsha Mountain from the window. My child was particularly pleased as well.
