Romantic Hotels in Gansu, China

Let's start with the hotel's facilities. The standard twin and king rooms are indeed not very large, and it can feel a bit cramped with an extra bed. However, as I saw on Xiaohongshu, there are two triple rooms on the first floor. This time, we also discovered two family rooms on the second floor. Since we were staying for several days, the hotel let us check into one of these family rooms on our second day. It was significantly more spacious, featuring a king-size bed (2 meters) and a smaller bed. While the toilet isn't smart, the shower has excellent water pressure, and the toiletries are good. The hotel's 'Zhaixingge' (Stargazer Pavilion) offers unparalleled views for watching the sunrise, Mingsha Mountain, and the stars. Now, about the dining. The Chinese restaurant, Fengguoci, is open until 10 PM, and Zhaixingge until 11 PM. Their beef noodles, Saizi noodles, and dumplings are all incredibly delicious. The ancient-style lamb chops aren't on the menu, but they can be specially prepared, and they taste fantastic. Breakfast is very generous, and all the fruits are tasty. Finally, the service. The service at Dunhuang Hotel is truly exceptional. All the staff are polite, greeting you warmly and always willing to help. One evening, we couldn't get a taxi to the night market, so the hotel arranged a shuttle van to take us there. When we were setting off fireworks at the main entrance one night, the staff happily interacted with us, and we made sure to clean up thoroughly afterwards. On our last day, before check-out, the hotel even invited a Shehuo performance troupe, which really added to the festive atmosphere. Dunhuang Hotel was definitely the best hotel experience of our entire trip.

Very mixed feelings about this hotel. The amenities are a plus: gym and laundry (but no dryer) for free and swim and massage (worth trying!) available on top. Breakfast is also amazing. Room is very spacious and little welcome gifts are provided, which is cute. However there is a very annoying smell of cigarette smoke EVERYWHERE. I usually don’t mind cigarette smoke but here it was very intense and disturbing. Also, no one in the staff speaks English or is equipped with any translation tool. The personnel seemed annoyed every time we were trying to communicate with them and couldn’t provide any help. So I think for Chinese standards this is a good hotel but I would say it is not the most suitable for international guests.

The newly opened hotel has a good environment and facilities. I needed to catch a train early in the morning, and the hotel is near the West Railway Station; you can see the station from the window, but you have to take a taxi, which should only cost 10 yuan and take about 5 minutes. I originally booked another hotel in the same building, Wanrun Smart Choice, but when I arrived, they said there were no rooms available and they might not be able to vacate by noon. I checked the platform and saw the price had doubled, clearly meaning I had to cancel my booking myself. The hotel I'm staying at now is in the same building, and the price is about the same as when I booked. They asked if there were rooms available and even gave me early check-in. The difference in service is immediately apparent. I switched immediately.

I took so many great photos during my stay at this hotel; it's really photogenic! The hotel has so much character, and the ambiance is amazing. I highly recommend it! **Service:** The service was excellent. The front desk staff were warm, professional, and went above and beyond. Knowing we were on a road trip, they specially recommended local delicacies, sightseeing routes, and even some hidden photo spots in Jiayuguan. They also suggested a few hidden gem snack shops popular with locals – so thoughtful! Any requests we had during our stay were promptly met by the staff, who were always polite and never perfunctory. It really made us feel well taken care of. **Environment:** The room had fantastic natural light, and the bedding was so comfortable I didn't want to get out of bed. The front desk mentioned the mattress was imported. At night, we could even watch the stars and moon from the room and took some pictures. The location is also excellent, super close to the food street, making it convenient for exploring and dining. It's also a short drive to the Jiayuguan scenic area.

Wonderful 3 nights stay here. Situated at the beginning of the old street, lots of eateries and some shops. Property is beautiful, and surprisingly quiet despite its central location.  Staff all extremely professional and eager to please, from the reception, to chambermaids and breakfast service staff. I’d say they can rival some of the top chain hotels in tier 1 cities.  1 point dropped due to only 2 washing machines for the entire place., making it extremely hard to get an empty machine, especially if you are located in the opposite wing.  Another note is the lack of a privacy screen in the washroom. You can’t put on clothes in the shower since it’s wet but area outside is open with no door. I realise many hotels in Gansu are designed this way so not a specific negative for this property, but something to note if you are not a couple sharing the room.

I traveled from Xianbei to Lanzhousi. Once you got off, get a subway and alighted at Xiguan station. Once arrived, looked for Exit D. The hotel is located in the middle of the walking street with lots of things to see and eat. Don't stay around old Lanzhou town. There're more things to see around here. I'm so impressed with the all the girl staff. They're superb. The room is ok. The food is also ok. I recommend this hotel.

The hotel is very conveniently located. It is next to a shopping mall and a subway station. The environment is comfortable, clean and sanitary. The rooms are spacious. The attitude of the hotel staff is also super good. I highly recommend staying here.

The experience was great! The front desk lady was kind and checked in quickly. The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was comfortable, and I slept until dawn. Convenient location, convenient for eating and shopping around. High cost performance, highly recommended!

An older hotel with somewhat dated facilities, but generally clean and tidy. The night view was okay, but not spectacular, mainly because the exterior glass was full of smudges and dirt. Downsides: the room didn't have a refrigerator, and the only trash can in the entire room was in the bathroom! Nowhere else! Transportation is inconvenient; you have to take a taxi everywhere. It's just 'okay' overall.

It’s a dreamlike feeling and the wilderness experience is great! When staying in the wilderness, the first thing is to look at the scenery. The scenery of the desert hills is not to mention. Although it is at the foot of the mountain, it is still refreshing. It’s also great to take photos in an open space. They gave us guidance on how to take pictures of the starry sky and provided a mobile phone holder. It was great. PS. If you come here, be sure to ask the housekeeper or the boss for a candlelight lantern (the store will provide it for free). The atmosphere for taking photos is great. Got it In terms of meals, we ordered a barbecue from the store and ate on the terrace of the room (four people can sit on it, and if more than four people eat on the sand below the terrace)
