Hotels With Spa in Gansu, China

This is the first time I've specifically waited to review a hotel: 1. Location: Less than 10 minutes from the high-speed train station, very convenient. 2. Service: Beyond five-star service! They added me on WeChat in advance, and all the hotel staff were incredibly enthusiastic. Every detail was meticulously taken care of, from bottled water available everywhere to free laundry and drying facilities, complete with laundry detergent. In the evenings, there were complimentary sweet soups, milk, and pastries. It was so convenient when traveling with a child and ordering extra food. There were welcome gifts upon check-in and also gifts upon check-out, plus a play area for kids. An excellent hotel! 👍👍👍

We made a mistake choosing this hotel: the word “international” led us to believe it would be better prepared to receive foreign guests, but that was not our experience. That said, the staff’s service was excellent at all times. Although they did not speak English, they consistently made the effort to use translation tools to communicate with us and assist us in the best possible way, which we truly appreciated. The hotel was almost empty. The first breakfast took place in a huge dining area where we were the only guests, which meant the variety was quite limited. There was some Chinese food and a coffee machine, but there were no options commonly expected by international travelers, such as fruit, cereals, yogurt, or bread. That same day, we were informed that the rest of the breakfasts would be delivered directly to our room. The staff made a continuous effort to ensure we felt comfortable with this arrangement, confirming the delivery time with us each day. The room was spacious and comfortable. However, the cleanliness did not match the hotel’s level and price: the carpet had visible stains, and finding a toothpick at the entrance made it clear that cleaning standards were not adequate. In addition, the amount of shampoo and soap provided was extremely limited—again, not consistent with the quality one would expect given the building and overall appearance of the hotel. In summary, we would like to highlight the kindness and dedication of the staff, but we believe the hotel still has important aspects to improve, especially regarding international standards and cleanliness.

Service: The service was impeccable. Our butler was incredibly attentive and responsive throughout our stay, always accommodating our requests. Truly excellent! Facilities: As a relatively new hotel, all the facilities are well-equipped and modern, including the gym. Environment and Value for Money: I mainly want to discuss the location and value for money. Among hotels I've stayed at in a similar price range, such as Le Meridien Chongzuo, Raffles Hainan, Capella Sanya, and Desert Star Hotel Zhongwei, Dongyi Hotel falls a tier below in terms of hotel size, room size, location (requiring a taxi to Mingsha Mountain Scenic Area), hotel activities, breakfast, and overall facilities. However, the price is almost on par with these higher-tier hotels. Therefore, I feel it's somewhat lacking and doesn't quite match the price point.

I had an early morning flight, so I opted to stay at the Parc Culture Hotel, which opened in 2025 at Lanzhou Airport, the night before. This hotel is one of the more luxurious options in the area, with very new and complete facilities in spacious rooms. The service was very attentive; they offered a special welcome drink upon check-in. The airport transfer service was excellent; they proactively called to confirm my itinerary in advance, and the driver enthusiastically helped with my luggage. The ride was about 5 minutes. Breakfast offered a wide variety of choices, and in addition to standard fare, I could enjoy authentic Lanzhou specialties like beef noodles and grey beans. This hotel offers great value for money and is perfect for guests with early morning flights or late-night arrivals.

After a few days in Gannan, I specifically chose a hotel with a bathtub and a pool for a relaxing night. The Yellow River view room offers first-class scenery, overlooking both banks of the Yellow River from a high vantage point. The breakfast was also good, the room was spacious enough, and the service was excellent – anything I needed was provided quickly. There's also a Reader Culture & Creativity shop in the lobby downstairs. I'm a hundred percent satisfied! The price was surprisingly similar to a three-star campsite in Gannan. The cost of living in Lanzhou is surprisingly affordable!

Visiting Dunhuang in spring was an absolute delight! The city is incredibly clean and tidy, with well-organized streets, making for an excellent overall experience. The hotel I stayed at offered top-notch service, was spotlessly clean, and paid attention to every little detail, making me feel very comfortable and secure. And the food? Oh, I have to rave about the food! The donkey meat yellow noodles were perfectly chewy and flavorful, the Huyang焖饼 (braised lamb pancake) was rich and fragrant, and to top it all off, a glass of Li Guang apricot peel water was refreshing and cut through the richness. It was all full of authentic local flavors. Beautiful scenery, a clean city, great accommodation, and delicious food—Dunhuang is definitely worth another visit!

Returning to Lanzhou from Gannan, I stayed here again. Facilities: It's an older hotel, so the equipment is a bit dated, but generally, it's well-maintained. It's quiet. Cleanliness: Good. Tidy. The cleaning staff does an excellent job. Environment: The hotel is located on a main road, making it convenient for taxis and buses. There are restaurants nearby, but not many. There's a subway station close by. Service: Quite good. During our first stay, Ms. Ma and Ms. Shui at the front desk were very thorough with their instructions (elevator location, breakfast restaurant, breakfast times, etc.). For our second stay, a gentleman at the front desk assisted us. Perhaps seeing that we were repeat guests, he just handed us the room cards without any additional words.

I visited Maiji Mountain Hot Spring Hotel during an off-peak period, and overall, I was very satisfied 👍👍. The hot spring bath was incredibly relaxing. Although there were still quite a few people, it was much quieter than during public holidays, making for a great experience ☺. The staff were diligent and responsible, and their service was very attentive. The biggest bonus points go to the shuttle service and the hotel-wide Wi-Fi coverage. The Wi-Fi signal was excellent, so I could browse on my phone and post on social media effortlessly while soaking in the springs. I highly recommend purchasing the hotel package deals; they're much more cost-effective than buying individual hot spring tickets. Coming during off-peak times for a hot spring stay is both relaxing and enjoyable – highly recommended! Highly recommended!

This is a temporary stay for one night when returning to Suzhou from Gansu. I still chose the Jianguo Hotel. The environment is good, the sound insulation is good, the attitude is good, and the price is relatively inexpensive. It is worth recommending

I've been here many times before, but only for the bathhouse. This time, I decided to stay and use the bathhouse since I was just passing by. However, I was really disappointed. The room was only 17°C when I entered. I don't know if you felt cold, but the air conditioner wouldn't get warm enough even after running for a long time. In the end, I had to turn on the electric heater. The breakfast was just average. Overall, it wasn't as good as it was a few years ago. I no longer have the desire to go back!
