2-Star Hotels in Gansu, China

"The best aspect of this stay was by far the owner. He was incredibly, incredibly helpful and friendly — from the moment I walked in the door he offered me a cup of tea, then provided tea and bread the next morning for breakfast, offered advice on what to see in the area, arranged a car to take me to Dalzong Lake, and finally even found me a spot on a local minibus going to my next destination. I couldn’t have done half the things I did during my stay in Xiahe without his advice and efforts on my behalf, so that alone made staying here fully worthwhile! It’s worth mentioning that the guesthouse’s architecture is also absolutely beautiful, and everything looks quite new. It’s located down a quiet side alley off of one of the main commercial streets in town, which seems like the ideal placement. On the accommodations: I stayed in one of the two tents erected on the second floor of the guesthouse. This was largely quite a good experience! The bed was very comfortable (with a heated pad), water and towels provided, etc. The tents are not in a closed-off area, but rather on the second floor/balcony area that also is used for sitting, serving tea, etc., so privacy is somewhat limited, but the whole guesthouse is relatively quiet anyway so it doesn’t feel like a public space. My only suggestions for improvement would be related to the bathroom: during my stay, the shared bathroom for the tents was a sort of temporary-style booth installed in the corner of the room with a toilet, sink, and showerhead. The bathroom was very clean and everything inside worked well, but its sliding door separated from the wall enough that there was always a substantial enough space on one side or the other that could be seen through (the door also didn’t lock and slid back and forth easily). The booth was also small enough that, realistically, I think it would be a bit of a challenge to actually use it to shower. If possible it might be worth looking into some simple fixes to improve these situations, but otherwise I have no complaints!"

"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!"

"We were still traveling a few days ago, so I didn't have time to write a review. Now that I'm home, I want to give a proper review of this ******* guesthouse. Out of all the places we stayed during our Gannan road trip, this was by far the most satisfying. The entire guesthouse has a rich ******* ambiance, and the room's hygiene and facilities were impeccable. What's even more noteworthy is the ******* clothing experience – it was truly fantastic! All 8 of us took photos and group pictures in the garden, and the owner even took them for us. The accommodation is also very close to Labrang Monastery, which we walked to. I highly recommend it to everyone!"

"Warm residence, reluctant to leave, when I embarked on this journey to find a place to live, I did not expect to meet such a warm and caring hotel. , Pushing open the door of the hotel, the boss's warm smile came like a warm spring sun. The cordial greetings instantly dispelled the fatigue of my journey. The boss not only took the initiative to help with the luggage, but also carefully introduced me to the surrounding attractions, specialties and the best travel routes. His face was always filled with an friendly smile, which made people feel comfortable. , After I checked in, I found that the boss's caring was far more than this. The room was cleaned spotlessly every day, all kinds of daily necessities were available, and the layout was warm and comfortable, just like returning to my own home. One day I accidentally wet my clothes outside. After the boss knew it, I took the initiative to help dry, and asked me with concern whether I had caught a cold. This meticulous care has touched me deeply. , Living here for a few days, the communication with the boss has become a daily small blessing. We chat in our spare time and share interesting things in life, He tells old stories about the city and little-known secrets, which gives me a deeper understanding of the city. Time flies and has been living for several days without knowing it. When it was time to consider changing places, my heart was full of reluctance. The comfortable environment here, the boss's family care, made me really don't want to leave. I even planned in my heart, and after the trip ended, I would come back and continue to live here. This hotel is not just a place to stay. It became a warm harbor during my trip, and the sincere kindness of the boss made my trip full of good memories. I really look forward to continuing to live here and enjoy this rare warmth and comfort."

"Great place. Nice neighborhood. Close to subway station, a few minutes walking. Close to nice park along the yellow river. Nice staff. Gave us smoke free room. Thanks."

"The environment is very new! I'm quite particular about bathroom cleanliness, and this place really delivered. The cleaning staff were very diligent, keeping the toilet and shower sparkling clean and well-maintained overall. There's a public microwave, water dispenser, and refrigerator, which is convenient for buying drinks. They also have an automatic washing machine that you can use with coins, and you can exchange coins at the front desk. The guests generally seem to be well-behaved; everyone in the lobby was quiet and didn't play loud music. Access to the guest room area requires a key card, and guests in the rooms were also considerate, which I appreciate. The bedding was already made up, so I didn't have to do it myself, and it was quite comfortable to sleep in. Overall, I had a great impression; the staff were patient. It's a clean and comfortable option that I'd recommend to everyone."

"The decor was warm and cozy, the room was spacious enough, and the bedding was comfortable. It had good soundproofing and thoughtful details, plus it was very clean. The bonfire party and fireworks show were beautiful."

"The room is very beautiful, the boss is very enthusiastic ^_^"

"The location is perfect, right at the entrance to the scenic area. The rooms are quite spacious and clean. They speak English and can provide recommendations. I think it’s a really friendly hostel, and it’s easy to make friends here. Jiejie even took us for a drive near the desert so we could get a closer view of the snow-capped mountains. It truly was a great stay!"

"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."
