Lanzhou Tiancheng Hot Spring Hotel (Lanzhou Center Qilihe Subway Station)

In this travel journey, so far I have stayed in 8 hotels and I can say that this one is arguably the most well-rounded one. At first, I was a little worried about some of the recent negative reviews but the main reason I booked is because it supposedly had a superb gym. The room was in general well kept and it was very quiet at night. There was nothing broken or malfunctioning. The breakfast options were plenty and the dishes that had meat actually had a lot of it. Besides, they had the typical boiled eggs and some dehydrated vegetables. The staff were all competent, warm and welcoming. Once I finished checking in, one of them even escorted me to my room. The only male staff I dealt with could speak some English, which Is a very big plus. Regarding the gym, you get the impression from Trip.com that it's included, which I don't really think it is. They let me use it for free but it was never clear whether it was a one time courtesy or not; they were so busy at the front desk at the time I was trying to get information. Anyways, they have a huge swimming pool and a fully equipped gym in the basement of the building. On to the internet, the wi-fi signal was weak and problematic. Not sure if I was far away from the router but definitely not ideal. Oftentimes I had to switch to using my own data. Looking at the big picture, I would definitely consider booking this hotel if I were to return to Lanzhou.

good hotel but the staff act strange around foreigners. they couldnt act normal
