Ξενοδοχεία με 5-Star σε Gansu, China

Every time I travel, I agonize over which hotel to choose. I usually check out highly-rated hotels and see what their negative reviews say. For my trip to Zhangye, I also picked from several hotels. My personal experience was fantastic, exceeding my expectations. I didn't encounter any of the issues mentioned in some reviews. The staff were all young, vibrant, and the service was simply impeccable. From pick-up at the station to drop-off at the airport, every detail made me feel incredibly comfortable. The room was also spotlessly clean. The hotel's breakfast was the best I've had on this trip – a wide variety of options and a spacious dining area. For this price, staying at a hotel like this is incredibly good value for money.

Someone was there to pick me up right after I landed, so I didn't have to wait. The business car service was excellent, but the hotel had a really strong smell, probably because it was newly renovated. It's a five-star hotel, but the facilities feel a bit basic. However, it's good enough for a temporary stay. It's so convenient now that there's an airport nearby, which wasn't the case before. Ordering takeout was a bit inconvenient, but breakfast was quite good.

This hotel is quite pricey for Lanzhou, but it's definitely worth the money. The location is top-notch, right by the Yellow River, and very close to Zhongshan Bridge, Waterwheel Garden, and the Du Zhe Museum, making transportation very convenient. The hygiene is excellent; everything is clean and tidy. The staff also asked every day if I needed housekeeping, which was a nice touch. The service is also top-tier. When I arrived by taxi, a staff member immediately helped with my luggage, and a robot even delivered my takeout orders directly to my room. The only thing that could be improved is the interior design. For example, the bathroom doesn't have a small sink, and the air conditioning is central, so it can't be adjusted independently in the room. For someone like me who gets hot easily, it wasn't cool enough.

Our stay at this five-star hotel throughout our trip to Dunhuang was absolutely perfect. The hotel's design beautifully integrates the Silk Road Dunhuang culture, creating a fantastic ambiance. Dunhuang elements are visible everywhere in the lobby and public areas, showcasing meticulous attention to detail. The guest rooms are spacious and spotless, with soft, comfortable bedding and high-end, complete bathroom facilities. The soundproofing is excellent, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep after a day of travel. The front desk staff were warm and professional, making check-in efficient and smooth. They proactively offered helpful assistance with travel guides and attraction bookings. The breakfast offered a rich variety, combining authentic Northwestern specialties with exquisite Western dishes, all tasting delicious. The location is very convenient for getting around, with easy access to Mingsha Mountain, Mogao Grottoes, and Shazhou Night Market. It was incredibly comforting to have such high-quality accommodation in the middle of a desert journey. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dunhuang!

A Princess Treatment Stay in Zhangye From the moment the hotel staff picked me up at the train station, I have received nothing but princess treatment. Whether this is standard or something special because I'm a solo female traveler in an area that doesn't see many foreigners outside of tour groups, I genuinely don't know. What I do know is that I felt looked after from start to finish. The arrival set the tone. A friendly staff member was waiting right at the train station exit, and the ride to the hotel was barely five minutes. I ended up on the top floor with a mostly unobstructed mountain view, and on a clear day you can apparently catch sunrise and sunset from up there. My room is enormous for one person. Two full bathrooms, a separate living room, separate bedroom with an additional couch. The little touches genuinely surprised me: a real sewing kit (not the sad three-thread version), a loofah, nice lotion, a plastic liner for the tub, cute slippers I may have to ”accidentally” pack, shower shoes, multiple teas, and a pod coffee maker. Speaking of the tub liner, it came paired with a sachet of ”red wine bath liquid” in this blood-red color, and combined with the plastic sheeting the whole setup gave me serious Dexter vibes. IYKYK. Slightly disturbing, completely awesome. Free laundry down the hall on my floor with washers, dryers, and soap provided. The breakfast spread is plentiful and genuinely good, tons of dishes, real variety. The one issue during my stay was the climate control. My room hit 28°C and I called down for help. They sent an army of staff. When they realized moving me wouldn't solve anything because the issue affected another room too, they rebooted the system instead of just shuffling me around. By the time I finished dinner and used my included dining credit, my room was cool and comfortable. That's not just good service, that's good problem-solving. They adapted, communicated, and fixed it properly. The staff deserves their own paragraph. Reception and the kitchen team were complete standouts. Everyone was gracious and warm, and the ones who spoke English did so beautifully even though they kept apologizing for it (they really shouldn't have, they were great). There was a moment at check-in when two excited staff members brought me up to my room and we all forgot the room key in the lobby. One of them ran back down to get it while we laughed about it together. That kind of warmth you can't fake. And it isn't just the front of house, there doesn't seem to be a moment when somebody isn't cleaning something, whether it's the windows, the chairs in the outdoor seating area, the bikes available for guests, or the koi pond. This hotel is genuinely well taken care of by its staff and ownership, and it shows. I didn't get to do everything I wanted to in Zhangye, which means I'll be back. And when I do come back, I'll be staying right here. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place.

This was the best hotel we stayed at along the entire Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop. The doormen (employee numbers 42 and 55) were so welcoming and even helped us wipe down our car when they saw it was dirty. They were quick to bring our food deliveries right to our room. The hotel breakfast was also delicious; the beef noodles were better than what you'd find at some specialized restaurants. The environment was lovely too. Plus, there's direct access to the adjacent mall from the hotel's fourth floor, which is super convenient.

This hotel is located in Lanzhou Old Street, offering a quiet retreat amidst a bustling area. We were upgraded to a quieter room, which really made for a comfortable night's sleep. The facilities are good too; it would be even more convenient if there was a coffee table to place things on. What truly impressed me the most was the hotel's service. All the staff members were warm and friendly, including the cleaning aunties, who provided timely and attentive service. They even thoughtfully prepared a 'cheer-up' kit for us participants of the Lanzhou Marathon, which included various snacks, cooling patches, and band-aids – something I've never encountered before! There was also a special backdrop in the hotel lobby, showing how much effort Lanzhou as a city put into making this event a success. It was truly touching. The hotel is conveniently located less than a 10-minute walk from Matan Metro Station, with plenty of bus routes nearby. I really enjoyed Lanzhou Old Street; it has everything for dining, lodging, and entertainment. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit to Lanzhou.

This hotel is truly unique, brimming with artistic flair, and offers daily activities perfect for those who enjoy cultural travel and want to explore Dunhuang culture and contemporary art inspired by it. The service here is absolutely exceptional. It happened to be my birthday during my stay, and the hotel surprised me with a complimentary customized cake featuring a distinctive Dunhuang pattern. We couldn't make it to the hotel's clay painting event due to our schedule, so they thoughtfully provided DIY gift bags for each of us. Every evening, there's a 'nightfall ceremony' that, combined with the hotel's landscape design, creates an incredibly atmospheric experience. All in all, it was a truly unforgettable stay!

Arrived in Lanzhou on May 22nd to participate in a marathon and booked a room at the Hilton Garden Inn Lanzhou Hekou (Yellow River Waterwheel Park Branch). The hotel is conveniently located next to Nongmin Alley, and its 52-story height makes it very prominent. I took the subway to the hotel, and it was just a 5-minute walk, two intersections away, from the station. Parking is free for guests. The lobby on the first floor is very grand, with a cafe and a gift shop. The front desk is on the 51st floor, and check-in was quite fast. The front desk informed me that the hotel provides race-day breakfast, and I just needed to register for it. My room was on the 32nd floor, a small room with a good view. It had a kettle and a hairdryer. The TV screen was large, and the toilet was a standard type. The shower had a slight issue; the showerhead was clogged and kept dripping after use, but the hotel maintenance fixed it. The race-day breakfast was decent, with a croissant, a muffin, milk, and an apple.

The Sheraton Lanzhou has been the best hotel experience on my Qinghai-Gansu grand loop trip so far! The hotel boasts top-notch facilities and a beautifully designed, comfortable atmosphere. The scenic rooms offer stunning views of the Yellow River banks, encompassing the entire Lanzhou skyline. Moreover, the hotel's breakfast spread is incredibly rich, with specialty dishes like beef noodles made fresh on the spot. The cakes from the in-house bakery are especially delicious, easily rivaling those found in Shanghai. In the past, whenever I visited Lanzhou, I always stayed downtown, where traffic was incredibly congested and parking was a hassle. This Sheraton, being away from the bustling city center, is much quieter. Plus, getting to the city center is super convenient with a metro transfer right on B1. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Lanzhou.
