2-Star Hotels in Gansu, China

The most surprising hotel I have ever stayed in Gannan is also the most cost-effective hotel. The hotel is located in the core location of Zhagana. You can enjoy the whole panoramic view of Zhagana and watch the sunrise when you lie on the bed of the room. The hotel is located in the first row. There is no obstruction outside the window. It is so beautiful and the room is very new. The decoration is very good, the bedding is very comfortable, the bath water is very big, recommending the nearby restaurant to us is also very good, the most touching is that the landlord handsome boss washed my sludge-filled car clean when I went out for dinner, I rarely write reviews in the hotel, this time I must write one.

I stayed in a 4-person room. The room was minimalist and medium-small, with lockers – basic but comfortable. The common area is stylish and inviting, with plenty of seating, cozy corners, plants, kettles, and power outlets, though it’s on a high floor with a glass ceiling – warm when hot, cozy when cold, and the few fans aren’t always enough. The staff at the desk were friendly, laundry facilities available, though no snacks or cold drinks. The area is urban, among regular buildings, so not particularly attractive from the outside, but within walking distance to the museum and the metro station, with a large supermarket and several food options nearby. Overall, a decent place to stay in Lanzhou.

If life is a never-ending journey, then the camping trip at the Desert Star Hotel is undoubtedly a highlight of my journey. When I arrived at the campsite, the first thing that attracted me was the unique tent house. Unlike regular tents, the top of the tent is made of special transparent materials, like a huge viewing platform, which builds a bridge of communication between me and the vast galaxy. As night fell, I couldn't wait to lie on the soft bed, and when I looked up, the bright starry sky was presented to me without reservation. The stars twinkled, like gems inlaid on the black sky, beautiful as a dream. At that moment, the world seemed to press the mute button, and the impetuousness and noise in my heart were instantly soothed. The unique beauty of this quietness made me intoxicated. It is worth mentioning that the hotel staff is very considerate. After placing the order, the customer service guy at the front desk added our contact information and gave us some local travel tips, which saved us a lot of time. From the warm reception at check-in, to the careful guidance during the activities, to the warm greetings at night, every detail made people feel cared for. They not only provided me with thoughtful service, but also made me feel the simplicity and enthusiasm of the desert people. This desert camping trip not only allowed me to appreciate the magnificent scenery of the desert, but also experienced exciting and interesting activities, which became an eternal and beautiful memory in my heart.

The location is pretty good, with lots of food options right outside. It's also just one bus ride away from the Provincial Museum, and best of all, parking is free. The room's bed can be fully enclosed, offering great privacy, though it can get a bit stuffy when completely closed off – that's really a matter of personal preference.

The hotel is in a great location, with a similar distance to the city center and Maiji Mountain, making travel very convenient! The room is clean and the shower water is huge! The front desk service attitude is also good, it is worth recommending!

The environment is fully equipped and the service attitude is good. Every time I come here, I am very enthusiastic, it is worth recommending to everyone, the transportation is convenient, and it is convenient to travel by car. The store also takes the canteen.

The level of hospitality by the owner is above the roof. She has gone above and beyond her scope of duty to assist in my trip. She has adviced and booked a transport for us to go around all the attractions in one full day. Snce my trip is a little rush, I will need to have a driver who can take us arond for more than 12 hours. One the reason why we booked this is because we get to shoot the milky Way at night. One of the best way to spend the night with the dark sky. Started the day to Mogao Cave. Frst entrance at 830am. Try to be there a little earlier. Weather in April is cooling. on the chill side. Once we got in, we started watching two sets of documentaries. Thats why you want to be on time, or else you will need to wait till the first batch is done. Depending on the weather, if you feel that the sun is shining on the sand dunes and you feel like making a quick stop to take photos, it is doable. All in, you will spend about four hours inside Mogao cave. He lunch right after. Then proceed to Thousand Buddhas Cave. A quick stop in the middle of nowhere. Still interesting to check off the list. Proceed right after to the sand dune. Spent time till the evening. Dnner right after that. Then call it a day. That's the entire 12 hours free and easy tour. Taxi booking for whole day was rmb300. Above all, the destination is made more memorable by the service provider by the hotel. It is definitely a plus point when you find a place where you feel like home. And that's what they made us feel like when we were there. Thank you for the Amazon experience. We will be back again.

★★★★★ I had a fantastic stay at the HanTing Hotel (Lanzhou Zhongshan Bridge Zhangye Road Pedestrian Street). Everything about this hotel exceeded my expectations, from the amenities to the incredible hospitality. Outstanding Service The highlight of my stay was the exceptional help from the front desk, specifically Mr. 芦彦林. Since I don't speak much Chinese, I was worried about the logistics of my trip to the Bingling Temple Grottoes. Mr. 芦彦林 went above and beyond by making several phone calls to my driver to ensure every detail was coordinated. He was incredibly thorough, asking the driver many detailed questions to make sure my trip would be smooth and safe. His kindness and dedication truly made my visit stress-free. Great Amenities and Breakfast The buffet breakfast was excellent. There was a wide variety of high-quality options to choose from, providing a perfect start to a long day of sightseeing. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Prime Location You couldn't ask for a better location in Lanzhou. The hotel is situated right by the Zhangye Road Pedestrian Street and within walking distance of many major attractions, including Zhongshan Bridge. Accessibility: It is very close to the subway and numerous bus lines, making it incredibly easy to navigate the city. Convenience: Plenty of shopping and local dining options are right at your doorstep. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Lanzhou, especially international travelers. The service provided by Mr. 芦彦林 and the rest of the staff is world-class!

Extraordinary host. Picked us up at the trainstation, drove us to the Nightmarket and back and organized us breakfast. Very recommendable! The location is somewhat out of the city center, but with the helpful host not a problem.

The hostel is good cared and clean. I think I saw a housekeeper every time when I went out from my room and she was always cleaning smth. That attitude already says a lot about the place. There is a nice not big common area with TV and we even watched a bit of Titanic, water dispenser with available cold and hot water. The staff is speaking English and they organise different tours around the area. It’s very handy. We took 2 tours with them and enjoyed a lot. One to PingShanHu canyon and another to Colourful Danxia. We also met many good-hearted foreign and local travellers there and made friends with some. Speaking about the room the condition was good enough. We shared one room with my friend. It’s a great value for money. Thank you for the incredible stay!
