Hostels σε Gansu, China

This hostel was the warmest place I stayed on this trip, especially since I arrived late at night. I was exhausted from traveling and pretty much 'crashed out' when I got off the car. To my surprise, the hostel staff were already waiting at the entrance to help me with my luggage – one person grabbed my bag, and another pulled my suitcase. It was incredibly thoughtful and heartwarming. In the early morning, you can catch a glimpse of the camels 'commuting' to Mingsha Mountain, which is quite interesting. In the evening, the bookstore lounge was lively with people reading, chatting, and even some who didn't know each other but were watching a movie together in the hall. In that cozy, dim atmosphere, it felt perfectly fine not to talk. This is exactly the kind of hostel vibe I've always dreamed of.

This hostel is super easy to find! After getting off at Zhangye Railway Station, I just took the No. 1 bus for 1.5 yuan, got off at the Industrial and Commercial Bank station, and it was a short 300-meter walk. The entrance sign is new and quite impressive, located on the second floor. As soon as I walked in, the front desk staff greeted me with warm smiles – very welcoming and not at all stiff, which immediately made me feel at home. They even had a thoughtful display of various candies, and they were all delicious! Even though I don't usually eat sweets, I found myself grabbing one every time I entered or left. The environment is very clean too. It was a really comfortable stay. I'd highly recommend it to anyone visiting Zhangye!

If you're traveling solo, staying in a hostel is the absolute best choice (especially for extroverts)! You can genuinely make friends, or even feel like you've found family here! The owner-sister and owner-brother are both super nice! I was so lucky to hitch a ride with the owner-sister in her big off-road vehicle to the desert, and even getting stuck was fun! Sis, you're awesome!

The rooms are super clean and have a great vibe. The owner even recommended some amazing local food that was spot on! Everyone was really friendly, the facilities were excellent, and they even offered carpooling directly from the hostel to the attractions, which was incredibly convenient.

Stayed for one night and felt pretty good! I want to say that my thoughts are probably the same as the cabins that you usually stay in when you stay in a youth hostel. This time I felt that there were side curtains when I slept, but the two beds were spread out and I felt that there was no privacy. I was a little uncomfortable. I hope the boss will ask the guests for their opinions and add a track and a curtain above the connection between the two beds. Everything else is quite satisfactory!

This trip to Lanzhou brought me a great sense of security because of this folk custom! Absolute surprise, great value for money! The first thing I felt when I entered the room was that it was clean and tidy, and the lady boss was super welcoming ❤️For me, a foreigner, I’m really lucky👍 I’m traveling as a girl, and the sisters I live with are also super nice, so we went together I watched the concert, ate local specialties together, and even made an appointment to check in to Lanzhou together. The landlady also thoughtfully recommended me check-in places and routes. How lucky I am to meet all kinds of people. The accommodation environment is clean and sanitary. The sisters who live with me are all very qualified. They are not noisy or noisy and will not affect your rest. The service provided by the landlady is also good. Believe me, I really recommend this folk custom!

The hygiene is very good, the environment is good, and the service attitude is very good. I give it a five-star rating. There is everything around, it is convenient to go out and eat, there is a supermarket downstairs, and there are many buses. The pedestrian street is also very close, the night market is particularly lively, and you can just walk to Zhongshan Bridge.

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.

This is my third stay here. It's very convenient, very close to the train station, and the environment is great. The owner is very welcoming, and the house is cleaned daily. It's so much better than the hotels I stayed in for over 100 yuan that were in terrible condition.

The road is dark at night, Yang Paiyu bathhouse entrance, very close to the train station, convenient transfer, no living room, the living room is also a space capsule, Lanzhou mosquitoes
