Romantic Hotels in Gansu, China

One of my favourite stays in 6 months across China Communication before arrival was smooth via WeChat, and the staff proactively helped me plan a full itinerary for the region, all in English, which as a foreign solo traveller in China I truly appreciated. The hotel arranged a driver who picked me up directly at the train station gate and took me wherever I needed to go. I could adjust my plans at any time, and he was always there waiting or arrived right on schedule. The whole organzation was genuinely flexible and reliable. The location of the hotel is perfect, like less than 10 minutes walking from Danxia Park West Gate, so you can catch the 5:30 AM opening for sunrise at Platform 1 and go for sunset at Platform 3. The staff helped me to go to Binguo, Kangle Grassland, Alien Scenic Park, Pingshan Grand Canyon and Mati Temple. Over 5 days, I saw far more than I ever could have managed on my own, especially as this area is really remote and no didi is available. It is one of my favourite trips and stays from six months in China and I’ve seen quite a bit. Would come back without hesitation.

Bringing my family to Dunhuang, 🏜️ it felt like a dream stepping into Dunhuang. We stayed in a desert RV, nestled in the golden sands, a dream of constant temperature. The room facilities were complete and comfortable, the bedding was cozy, and we had personalized butler service. Only guests are allowed inside, making it very quiet and spacious. We had a whole section of the desert to ourselves, enjoying the joy of having an entire golden sand sea – it's absolutely a stunning spot for photos. Life experience +1: Camping in the desert. It was an amazing experience! They offered complimentary ATV dune buggy rides, which were thrilling and novel. We could slide down the sand dunes for free, and the kids had a blast! Highly recommend!

Every time I travel, I agonize over which hotel to choose. I usually check out highly-rated hotels and see what their negative reviews say. For my trip to Zhangye, I also picked from several hotels. My personal experience was fantastic, exceeding my expectations. I didn't encounter any of the issues mentioned in some reviews. The staff were all young, vibrant, and the service was simply impeccable. From pick-up at the station to drop-off at the airport, every detail made me feel incredibly comfortable. The room was also spotlessly clean. The hotel's breakfast was the best I've had on this trip – a wide variety of options and a spacious dining area. For this price, staying at a hotel like this is incredibly good value for money.

The hotel is in a convenient location and is well-furnished and my room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast is very satisfactory. The front desk staff were helpful and polite; special thanks to Xiao Wang and Xiao Xie who very patiently helped me with my laundry and with getting the bus to Maiji Shan. 😊

Highly recommend the Earth-Built Hotel! The room styles are unique, making for a warm and cozy stay. The hygiene is top-notch, with every detail sparkling clean. Their beverages are great too; the pour-over coffee is aromatic, and the teas are authentic. The staff provides thoughtful and genuine service, very friendly without being overbearing. It was a truly relaxing stay, and the price is reasonable. Whether it's for a short getaway or a stopover, it's an excellent choice and a perfect spot for photos. Definitely worth a return visit!

Stayed here on two separate occasions for a total of 3 nights. The location is great, right in the old town and it’s a lovely area to explore although it’s about 8-10km from the main downtown area (not a problem for me). Staff were very friendly and gave me their WeChat upon arrival so I could contact them if I needed anything. Room was clean and had everything I needed although a fridge would be nice! Decent breakfast too.

Fantastic! This is hands down the best hotel we stayed at during our Hexi Corridor trip. The service is five-star. The hotel beautifully blends with Dunhuang's frontier architectural style. Upon check-in, we received complimentary double portions of yogurt, a camel-themed souvenir, breakfast, coffee vouchers, and a free pickup/drop-off service. The breakfast was plentiful and served at the Stargazer Western Restaurant on the 3rd floor. We enjoyed the meal while admiring the Mingsha Mountain view. The spread was extensive, featuring freshly pulled beef noodles, special scallion pancakes, and incredibly delicious apricots, among other things. For dinner, we tried the Fengguo Ancestral Temple Restaurant on the first floor, which offers both stir-fries and hotpot. I personally found the all-you-can-eat hotpot for 68 yuan per person to be incredibly good value. The restaurant is quite spacious and genuinely located within a traditional courtyard. It was truly an immersive and fulfilling stay.

This time I stayed at Nashashan B&B far exceeded expectations. The location is excellent. You can reach the Shashan Scenic Area in a short walk. It is especially worry-free to play back and forth. There is no need to find a parking space in traffic jams. The small courtyard is quiet and elegant, the layout is fresh and comfortable, sitting in the courtyard in the evening to blow the hair, unloading the fatigue of the journey, the top floor platform can also enjoy the starry sky, the atmosphere is full. The room was cleaned spotlessly, the bedding was soft and dry, the bathroom was separated from wet and dry, the 24-hour hot water was stable and sufficient, the air conditioner, WiFi, humidifier were all available, the facilities were brand new and easy to use, and the details were very intimate. The boss and staff are warm and kind, and they will send fresh fruits intimately as soon as they arrive. They will actively share the play route and delicious restaurants. Any needs will be responded quickly and treat people sincerely and thoughtfully. The homestay has its own free parking space, convenient travel, the overall decoration is simple and textured, there is no noisy crowd, quiet and very healing. Whether it is a couple's trip or a family trip, it is very suitable, and the price is full. This stay experience is full, I will definitely choose here next time I come to play, I really recommend it to friends who plan to play!

This hotel is located in Lanzhou Old Street, offering a quiet retreat amidst a bustling area. We were upgraded to a quieter room, which really made for a comfortable night's sleep. The facilities are good too; it would be even more convenient if there was a coffee table to place things on. What truly impressed me the most was the hotel's service. All the staff members were warm and friendly, including the cleaning aunties, who provided timely and attentive service. They even thoughtfully prepared a 'cheer-up' kit for us participants of the Lanzhou Marathon, which included various snacks, cooling patches, and band-aids – something I've never encountered before! There was also a special backdrop in the hotel lobby, showing how much effort Lanzhou as a city put into making this event a success. It was truly touching. The hotel is conveniently located less than a 10-minute walk from Matan Metro Station, with plenty of bus routes nearby. I really enjoyed Lanzhou Old Street; it has everything for dining, lodging, and entertainment. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit to Lanzhou.

Top notch hotel located inside the Lanzhou Old Street Pedestrians Square. Highly recommended to stay here when you are visiting Lanzhou. 1. Easy public transportation - taxis, Didi rides and public buses 2. Boyuan Hotel is located in the middle of the large square where there is ******* Square Dancing performance every night from 7 -9pm 3. Excellent services provided by all the hotel staff. Miss Wen Li has been so helpful and together with her friends, they made us feel so welcome to Lanzhou. 4. The room was super clean, comfortable and spacious. Most importantly, it has an excellent sound proofing effect. We slept through the night without any outside disturbances. 5. They also provide self-laundry equipment: two washing machine and two dryers plus detergent. Thank you to the lovely staff and the management.
