Holiday Inn Express LANZHOU JIANLAN by IHG

Holiday Inn with the familiar green English logo. Room cleanliness was fine, and the bedding was good. The issue lies with the parking garage. The hotel provides parking tickets for guests with cars, valid for 24 hours per ticket. The awkward situation for drivers is that the exit is on a slope, and the elderly attendant controlling the gate barrier acts like a true boss: when he sees a car approaching with a parking ticket, he doesn't rush to lift the gate. Instead, he first takes out his phone to take a photo of the monitor, then—still taking his time—walks out of the booth to inspect the parking ticket at the car window, turns around and goes back into the booth, and finally, he actually lifts the gate. By this time, you and your car's clutch have already been struggling on the slope for a good five minutes. Is this a facility issue? Or is the attendant's VIP-style service considered a service issue?

Great location, right opposite to Ganpo, and very close to Exit A of the subway station. Lanzhou Center is right next door, so finding places to eat, drink, and shop is effortless. The only feedback I have is that upon check-in, the toilet paper roll still had about half left from the previous guest, which feels a bit unhygienic.

The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The breakfast offered a wide variety of choices, and I even got to enjoy a Luckin Coffee with delicious Xingji croissants. The hotel's proximity to Lanzhou Center shopping mall made dining and shopping very convenient. Gansu Provincial Museum was just across the street, making it easy to visit. The subway station was only a few minutes' walk away, which was great for getting around. The hotel parking entrance is right next to the Lanzhou Center parking entrance. If you're driving, I recommend asking the hotel front desk for directions beforehand. Hotel parking is free for 24 hours after entry. If you're planning to visit attractions like the Yellow River Mother Sculpture, Yellow River Cableway, Baita Mountain, and the First Bridge over the Yellow River (Zhongshan Bridge) on your second day, I suggest parking your car at the hotel and using the subway and walking to explore the Yellow River scenic area. You can then return to pick up your car. I highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Lanzhou.

This hotel boasts an excellent location, directly opposite the Gansu Provincial Museum and right next to Lanzhou Center, making shopping and dining incredibly convenient. The room facilities are comprehensive, comfortable, and cozy, and the service attitude is also great.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, directly opposite the Gansu Provincial Museum and right next to Lanzhou Center, with numerous trendy eateries nearby. Although it's a Holiday Inn Express, the rooms are spacious and well-equipped. The parking facility is also very convenient, and breakfast offers a wide selection. However, the young man at the front desk handling my check-in was clearly unfamiliar with the process and took a very long time. The other female staff members, on the other hand, were highly professional.

I specifically chose this hotel to visit the Gansu Provincial Museum. It's very close to the highway exit. The location is right across from the museum, just a short walk across the road. It has its own parking lot, which is great if you're driving. You don't need to move your car to visit the museum, and you can just come back and drive off afterward, which is very convenient. Plus, parking at the museum itself is difficult. Next to the hotel is Lanzhou Center shopping mall, with lots of food options, also very convenient. The hotel itself is decent and serves its purpose well for a one-night stop during a road trip.

Lanzhou was the last stop on our Qinghai-Gansu Loop trip. The hotel's location is excellent, making it convenient to get anywhere. The staff assigned us a room facing away from the street and even gave us an extra complimentary breakfast. The room was comfortable and spacious, with elegant yet practical decor. The breakfast offered a wide variety of choices, and both the Lanzhou ramen and fried noodles were delicious. Before we left, the front desk even gave us a camel-shaped charm. Holiday Inn has always been my top choice for accommodation when traveling. However, this time the price I booked on Ctrip was actually more expensive than the hotel's walk-in rate, which I don't understand – Ctrip seems a bit dishonest.

The room was clean and tidy, and the front desk staff were warm and attentive. It's right next to Lanzhou Center, making it very convenient for dining, entertainment, visiting museums, and nearby hospitals. Although it's located on a busy street, the room insulation is excellent. I'll definitely come again.

Staying at the Holiday Inn Express Lanzhou Jianlan, the room was clean and tidy, and the basic services were decent. However, the standard room priced at 550 yuan felt a bit high, making the value for money average. You can enjoy Lanzhou beef noodles for breakfast at the buffet. The hotel is right next to Lanzhou Center, offering a wide array of dining and shopping options. Although the hotel is directly opposite the Gansu Provincial Museum across the road, you can't cross directly. You'll need to walk around to get to the museum, so factor in extra time. If you find that inconvenient, taking a taxi would be a more hassle-free option.
