SSeh KiatRead my other review. Rebooked a Consecutive night stay only because I didn't want to busy myself changing hotel.
Nice hotel if you look pass the querks.
Breakfast and laundry is a trudge to its sister hotel through an open corridor that channels and accelerate the wind. Think cold winter morning and night.
Metal door handles on the outside of the entrance.
Room access card for the lift automatically lights up multiple floors. Try this when you get a top floor room.
Just to mention a few.
Front desk is peculiar. Friendly BUT!
They are not very knowledgeable about local information.
They request repeatedly for direct booking for subsequent night stays BUT they will only match the best price you can find online. What about my loyalty points and promo coupons?
They also pester for perfect reviews and ratings. But they will only give generic responses, albeit politely. Very system generated barely matching current AI tech.
ゲゲストI chose to stay close to the airport so that I can bound a flight easily to diffrent places. The hotel is also within 15 minutes walk to Lanzhou new area railway to give me easy train ride (40 minutes) to Lanzhou west (main) station. The only down side is if you are coming back late, there are very limited trains to the new area railway, and nothing to Zhongchuang airport railway either except private ride (around 75 km, price is 28 yuan for the shared ride or 200 yuan for solo). However, once you can manage to get to the airport, there will be free shuttles from the hotel just by calling to their friendly staffs. I can highly recommend the hotel to anyone. I really appreciate the visions of the hotel founder (his book can be found when you enter the room :) who successfully created hotel homes for travellers. I felt comfortable and home there.
ゲゲストWe had a Family suite and it was very luxury. Breakfast was the Best we had in China. The Location of the Hotel was absolut perfekt for us so close to the trainstation. Perfekt stay, Thank you! Absolut worth to mention: very very good Matratze! Normale in China they are too Hard - but this one was Heaven so we stayed longer then planed
DDollieLocation very good and close to the Gansu Museum. Room was fantastic and spacious. Check in took a really long time - as foreigners our passports confused the front desk.
The lifts were very, very slow and we needed to wait about five minutes every time we needed them... Be warned if you are running late!
ゲゲスト*If you are going to Lanzhou …*
… this is the hotel to stay especially if you are an independent traveller!
Even before arrival we reached out to Li and she promptly promised to send a car to meet us upon arrival at Langzhouxi. The Tumendun metro station is right in front of the hotel. So is the bus stop which serves buses running to several Lanzhou attractions.
Aside from the obvious locational advantages the thing that strikes me most is the warmth and hospitality of the family running the place. Everyone from father, mother, 2 sons to DIL was eager to help with any questions that we might have. We couldn’t believe how patient they were in providing invaluable insights for the benefit of the tourist.
The room and bathroom were kept clean. Hot and cold water were readily available as well as a kettle.
We are grateful and would like to thank the whole family for treating us like family during our short stay here!
