Family Hotels in Gansu, China

Our first stop on this Hexi Corridor trip was Jinglong International, and overall it was good. The facilities are probably among the newest and best in Zhangye, and the service was excellent. Our room was super spacious, and we even got an upgrade, which we really appreciated! However, there were also some noticeable downsides: 1️⃣ The hotel's underground parking is shared with residential buildings, so there are limited spaces. Also, the lighting from the underground entrance to the elevators is motion-activated. If you're waiting for the elevator for a while and it's slow to arrive, that section of the path gets very dark, which could be unsettling for women. Ground-level parking was also extremely full, making it very difficult to find a spot. 2️⃣ I really have to complain about the lighting! Personally, I think the smart lighting design is the hotel's biggest flaw 😂 Even though the front desk explained how to use the lights when we checked in, we still encountered issues. For example, while lying in bed playing on my phone, with no movement at all, the bathroom light and fan would suddenly turn on by themselves. When I wanted to turn off the TV in the bedroom, after calling out to 'Xiao Du' (the smart assistant), the bedroom TV turned off, but the living room TV magically turned on by itself. If the bedroom door was closed, 'Xiao Du' couldn't be activated. Honestly, these lighting designs, with lights suddenly turning on in the middle of the night, were genuinely quite frightening. 3️⃣ The hotel's breakfast wasn't great. Perhaps due to the high volume of guests, most dishes were empty after 9 AM and weren't refilled promptly. 4️⃣ There were no small hand towels in the room, which was a bit inconvenient. Although the hotel has been in a trial operation for a year, the cabinets still had a noticeable odor. Overall, it has its pros and cons, and I hope the hotel can improve!

The room was very clean and equipped with smart home features. The service was excellent; they proactively offered us extra breakfast, which was also nutritious and delicious. I've stayed at Atour Hotel in other cities before, so this was a repeat stay. It's very close to the night market, and getting around is super convenient. Absolutely fantastic! We had a wonderful trip!

Standard Hampton Inn quality, overall still quite good. Service: The service was very enthusiastic. They gave me a small gift and even showed me the room in person, also recommending some good restaurants nearby. Hygiene: Clean and tidy. Facilities: Everything was pretty good, except the shower pressure was too strong, which wasn't very comfortable for me, but that's just my personal feeling. Breakfast was also quite comprehensive, and the soundproofing in the room was decent. Recommended!

This hotel was a fantastic find for our self-drive tour of Northwest China! A huge thanks to the front desk for upgrading our room. It was really spacious, beautifully decorated, and super clean—easily comparable to hotels costing 800-1000 RMB a night in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai region. The location is excellent too, within walking distance of the Dunhuang Night Market. Strolling back to the hotel after enjoying some local delicacies and a leisurely walk was one of the best parts of our trip. I also noticed a front desk staff member patiently assisting a foreign guest during check-in, which made me feel this hotel was incredibly professional and well-equipped to host international visitors.

I absolutely loved this hotel. The location is superb, with direct elevator access to Mingjiahui Fashion Center, which is hands down the best shopping mall in Jiayuguan in terms of ambiance and experience. It's also a short taxi ride to the Jiayuguan Fort scenic area. The service here was outstanding. A big thank you to the front desk lady who checked us in on the afternoon of April 29th for upgrading our room – I'm just sad I didn't catch her employee number. The breakfast environment was quiet and elegant, and the buffet offered a wide variety of dishes that weren't greasy. They even made fresh wontons and noodles to order, tailored to your taste. Special thanks to restaurant staff member #39 for her thoughtful service; she customized our dishes to perfection. Even though it was a self-service buffet, she proactively brought freshly prepared food right to our table. On our second day, heading to Jiayuguan Fort, staff members #20 and #21 helped us arrange for the hotel's MPV business van. The 6-seater van was incredibly comfortable, and the drive was very smooth – a big thanks to the driver as well. When we checked out, they, along with the supervisor, prepared special Jiayuguan souvenirs and some snacks for our upcoming journey, which was going to be a bit hectic. The room maintenance was impeccable; there were no noticeable issues with our stay experience. After we offered some suggestions for further improvement, the hotel promptly organized a review and provided feedback. My thanks to room attendant #51 for calling to inquire about the details, and also to the supervisor for speaking with us directly and personally looking into our suggestions. Thank you to all the wonderful ladies for their care, which made our first visit to Jiayuguan a joyful memory and made us feel truly at home. I hope the hotel enjoys thriving business in the future, and I wish all the staff members continued success and well-being.

The room is great, and the amenities are well worth the price. The cleaning staff (Ayi) is very warm and helpful, accommodating special requests for tidying up. It would be even better if the balcony were cleaner and had outdoor furniture like a table and chairs. The front desk concierge was also quite enthusiastic.

We stayed in two hotels in Zhagana for two nights (the first day was sold out), and this one felt better. The hotelier was very considerate, cleaning the room in the morning and checking us in at 10:00 AM. It was convenient to park our car at the hotel and walk to the Grand Loop Trail. The stewed free-range chicken at the restaurant completely washed away the fatigue of the eight-hour Grand Loop Trail. The view from the room and the hotel restaurant was stunning, overlooking the crowded tourist center and Fairy Beach across the way. The hotel also provided complimentary tea and fruit. It was a wonderful stay.

This guesthouse was absolutely lovely! The room was spacious and very clean, and the two big beds were incredibly comfortable. The biggest surprise was the huge projector in the room – watching movies at night while lounging in bed was pure bliss. Plus, there was a smart toilet, which was very convenient to use. I also really enjoyed the common areas. There's a massive book bar with tons of books; sitting there, daydreaming and sipping tea was incredibly relaxing. The courtyard environment is beautiful, with lots of trees providing shade and a sandpit for kids to play in. It feels really suitable for families with children. The best part is that there's also a big golden retriever at the guesthouse – super well-behaved and friendly, so you can even pet the dog if you like. It was incredibly therapeutic! Overall, it felt like a very relaxing and stylish little courtyard. The owner has great taste. I'll definitely come back to stay again if I get the chance!

The location is inside Tianshui Ancient City, a bit hard to find. Breakfast is a collaboration with the shop next door, only available from 8 AM, which is different from the information provided here. The room's screen mirroring works fine, but there are constant ads… The room doesn't have a key; it has a combination lock, so you don't have to worry about only having one card for two people. The front desk provides many free small items that you can use. The downsides are that if you stay on the first floor, you'll hear noise from outside, and if no one is at the front desk during check-in, you'll have to wait.

This hotel deserves a perfect score 💯! It was the most comfortable and satisfying stay I had along the Qinghai-Gansu loop, and the price offers incredible value for money. 1. There were complimentary snacks in the room upon check-in. 2. The staff were very thoughtful and provided a guide to Zhangye, which gave us plenty of ideas for food, fun, and entertainment. 3. The hairdryer being a Laifen brand is a definite plus! 4. Breakfast was incredibly rich and plentiful. Everyone in my group raved about it and said it kept them full until lunch! Turns out the Lanzhou noodles at this hotel are made fresh on the spot.
