4-Star Hotels in Gansu, China

The service and breakfast were both good. I even forgot something, and the hotel called to thank me for it. However, the strange thing about this hotel is that the air conditioning only turns on at 6 PM. I came back from Maiji Mountain in the afternoon and was really cold, wanting to rest in the room. But I ended up having to wear my down jacket indoors. Air conditioning only starting at 6 PM? This is the first time I've encountered something like this in all my years of traveling!

The hotel I chose for this trip far exceeded my expectations! From check-in to check-out, the entire experience was absolutely perfect. The location was incredibly convenient. It wasn't far from any of the attractions, and with plenty of malls and convenience stores nearby, it was super easy to go sightseeing or find places to eat. The front desk attendant during check-in was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. She not only processed everything quickly but also impressed me with her impeccable attention to detail. The room was spotlessly clean, which was very reassuring. The bedding was soft and comfortable, making it easy to drift off to sleep instantly. The bathroom had a well-designed wet/dry separation, and the toiletries had a subtle, pleasant herbal scent. Even essentials like a hairdryer and charging outlets were thoughtfully provided.

The original member of staff that checked me in was extremely unprofessional. We were a family that came to visit with all permanent residents cards ( Green Cards ) and the way it was handled with very unprofessional. 1. The hotel should be aware that they don’t need to photocopy permanent residents cards as we are treated the same as local ID cards. The manager needs to train staff. I appreciate it’s rare to see but it wasn’t handle correctly. We have done amazing things for the country, China - and to be treated like this was disgraceful. One woman who helped us to our room, she was totally amazing! She was very professional- she understood professionalism and great customer service. We won’t ever forget such a wonderful woman. The hospitality industry is very important- every detail counts. However the negative impact can last a lifetime. I would like to thank the wonderful woman at this hotel and I truly hope you become manager of this place so you can show some staff members how to treat customers.

The hotel is impeccably clean, well-appointed with all necessary facilities, and the service is excellent. It even has a laundry room, which is a big plus for families traveling with children. Its location is highly convenient, being just a few minutes' taxi ride from Lanzhou West Station. Right downstairs, there's a well-developed and very attractive commercial district that's great for exploring, offering abundant choices for both dining and shopping.

This hotel was truly amazing! The room felt incredibly fresh upon entering, and the bedding was spotless. It was a truly comfortable stay. Fruit and milk were provided, and a late-night snack was even offered. And our housekeeper, Li Ping, was incredibly friendly! From the moment we arrived, she greeted us warmly and patiently guided us. We also had quick and thoughtful responses to any small requests. For example, when I asked about nearby restaurants, she even gave us detailed recommendations for reputable ones. She was incredibly thoughtful. When I forgot something at the hotel, she even reached out and helped me return it. It was truly heartwarming!

We had a great stay at [hotel name]! As soon as we entered the door, the front desk staff checked us in warmly and efficiently, and also recommended surrounding attractions. The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and I had a great sleep at night. The bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas, and the toiletries are of good quality. The hotel restaurant offers a rich breakfast, with both Chinese and Western food. The gym is fully equipped to meet your daily exercise needs. The location is also excellent, with many delicious restaurants nearby and convenient transportation. Will choose here next time!

Comfortable room, a good size with blackout curtains. The hotel is an easy walking distance from the train station no matter how much luggage you have. Free laundry facilities. Reception staff were friendly and helpful, happy to answer questions and assist with bookings and locating various services around town. The only negative is breakfast. Both days I was there one or more of the bread products were stale. Paper cups are provided for cold drinks (which seems needlessly wasteful) the one morning I tried, the orange juice was flavorless and watered down- it tasted like when you refill a juice bottle with water. The shape of the seating area is also unfortunate. There are two corners where people seem to appear out of nowhere and both days I encountered numerous children running and who absolutely should not have been allowed to bring their scooters in to the breakfast area (not the mobility kind) making carrying hot drinks and plates of food dangerous and unpleasant. Definitely recommended, just skip breakfast!

The room was nice, modern and clean. Staffs are helpful and have good service-mind. Location is great, right next to the drum tower. There are a lot of shops nearby, a food street is in walking distance, the Big Buddha Temple (Dafosi) is also walkable. There is also a free coffee machine at the lobby. Breakfast was also good. A little down side, the shower area has a lot of small flies, which we don’t know where they came from, but didn’t cause much annoyances. Despite some downsides above, we will stay at to this hotel again if we come back to Zhangye.

This was the second Mercure hotel on our trip, and overall, the facilities were quite good. **Facilities:** The hotel is well-equipped. The lobby is clean and bright. As expected from an Accor property, the decor style and design elements are largely consistent. What truly stood out was that on each floor's common area, right outside the elevator, there was a row of complimentary bottled water. This is quite rare in other hotels and very convenient for guests to grab. Breakfast is served on the 21st floor, offering a panoramic view and a great sense of openness. On another note, staying on the 14th floor, the water pressure was a bit low, and the shower felt like it didn't have enough flow. **Hygiene:** The room's cleanliness was generally acceptable, but I found a long hair stuck to a tile in the bathroom. It felt like the cleaning wasn't thorough, which was a bit off-putting. Also, there was a small tear on the bed linen. I'm not sure if it was an oversight, but ideally, it should have been replaced. **Service:** The hotel's front desk manager took my feedback very seriously. Afterwards, they even proactively called us to inform us that the issues had been rectified. This was truly excellent.

I don't know why they call it a ”designer hotel” when they have such bad design. No place to hang towels in bathroom, the sink is so badly designed it leaked water all over, the light switches are silly and badly labeled. Also the smell is strange, they need more ventilation. The reception has a ”bar” but has no drinks? Also the location isn't good, cars can't pull up to door, and the ”old city” is a fake/new shopping street, very boring area. Have to take taxi to get downtown...
