Homestays in Gansu, China

This hostel is the best stay for my trip. Everything ais good. The hotel is decorated with woods, so mostly all are wooden made. Very classy & super clean. Very friendly & helpful stuff. Have free cleaning services. The hostel just in front of the old town which at night u can walk around. Also very near the Fu Si Miao about 15 min walks. There are plenty of restaurant just outside the hostel. Good taste and not expensive too. All the below are within walking distances

The hostel is very clean The beds are wide and clean. The mattress is thin and hard and not very comfortable but I concede that it is the standard of hostels in China. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The bathroom is also very clean. The location is great 10 min walk from the night market and from the bus stop to Mogao. The only negative note is that in December the room is very cold. Underfloor heating is almost absent. I asked for two blankets to be able to sleep.

Room Facilities: Very comprehensive. Cleanliness: Spotless. Environment: The room is simple yet elegant, making for a very comfortable stay. Service: Since it was New Year's Eve, everyone was quite excited. A group of young people next door were still playing music, drinking, and singing at 3 AM, which was quite disruptive. The front desk promptly came up to resolve the issue, and the service was excellent.

I've rarely stayed at such a satisfying guesthouse. The courtyard is beautiful, right next to Luoshi Temple, with convenient dining options nearby, yet it's not noisy at all. Taking a stroll is very relaxing, or you can sit in the courtyard early in the morning and watch the birds fly by. Zhangye's attractions are relatively concentrated, and you can walk to them all from the courtyard. We booked a family room for 2 adults and 2 children, which was larger than expected, and the interior decoration and amenities were understated yet high-end. Breakfast was ordered in advance, and the front desk prepared and delivered it in the morning. By the way, my child loved the cats in the courtyard. Extremely satisfied.

The hotel is centred around an exotic garden with a goldfish pond and small walkways. The brick, carved wood windows and doors, lanterns outside, and the Mongolian interiors of our room, which was in fact two rooms, makes you feel like you are stepping back in time. Zhang and his family, who run the hotel, made us feel part of the family, providing breakfast and dinner for two days, lining up transport to the Zhangye Danxia Geopark and personally taking us to a souvenir shop. It was incredible. I would thoroughly recommend staying here for the experience, even though it is not in the centre of town.

Amazing location and excellent facilities. We do not speak mandarin but were able to communicate with translation apps. The staff were friendly and helpfull, the scenery was spectacular, and the accomodation was very comfortable. Highly recommend staying here ! dinner was available via ordering from a menu to a local restaurant which the staff organised. Wifi was available, and the mobile phone coverage was good also. Excellent walking paths nearby from the hotel.

During the peak summer vacation season, I only booked my trip ten days in advance. I couldn't book a traditional hotel family room, so I tried a homestay. I immediately saw the loft room of Ruchu Homestay, which was suitable for 2 adults and 2 children. The two sisters really liked this room with a ladder (not stairs). They didn't want to come down after going up! The landlord had seen the world in Beijing and didn't want to be in a big factory. She returned to her hometown with her dream. The homestay designer she hired was also a Beijing academician with long-term study experience in Japan. No wonder the interior style is simple and the public space is so large that it is luxurious. I like the trees planted indoors. The wetland park separated by a wall is full of vitality after the rain. Various duck mothers take their babies for a walk in the lake. Black swans will take the ugly babies to approach people. You can bring nothing to feed them. Overall, I am very satisfied with the homestay. Although it is a bit far from Ming and Qing Street and you have to take a taxi to leave the village, it is very quiet. The boss will recommend local specialties. It is a good place to wash away the smell of class. It is worth recommending.

This hotel is in a very good spot, opposite the river, away from the traffic and tourist groups. The restaurant offers great food and drinks. The personal is very friendly and helpful and the room looked very nice, ******* style , and the mattress was comfortable . Can recommend this place without hesitation.

Our room was on the first floor, which offered less privacy. The bathroom was small, and the showerhead leaked, but there was an overhead shower. The hot water wasn't 24/7, so if you took a long shower, the next person would have to wait. Guests can gaze at the stars below the Thirty-three Days Grottoes at night. In the morning, the owner takes them birdwatching, watching the sunrise, feeding marmots and blue pheasants, and then being among the first to enter the grottoes, skipping the line.

Family, the hotel is super nice inside and outside! It is clean, comfortable and odorless inside, and has a beautiful view of the Yellow River outside. The ladies at the front desk are all super nice and gentle (like them 💕). There is also a laundry room and dryer, and there are shared bicycles and shared electric cars downstairs, which is super convenient. You can drive a shared electric car to Lanzhou Old Street, which is a little over a kilometer from the hotel, to eat and take pictures (about 6 minutes), which is amazing! It is also very close to the Yellow River Tower, and you can quickly go there by shared electric cars and bicycles (Yellow River Tower: there is a river view during the day and a performance at night; we were in a hurry and didn't see the performance 😭)
