Family Hotels in Gansu, China

Finally, I'm opening a new chapter in my Northwest travels! As someone who's always traveling, I'd never been to the Northwest before. This hotel is probably the best one around here; it's very new. In terms of location and how new it is, it's absolutely top-notch. The room was clean and tidy, and the cleaning lady made the bed perfectly every day. A special thanks to Manager No. 19 on duty, who humanely extended my check-out time because there weren't many flights and mine was late. If you're coming to Zhangye, staying here is definitely the way to go. Highly recommended!

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.

I came to Dunhuang for a cultural trip and stayed at Dunhuang Hotel for two days. The hotel has an ancient and profound charm, and the service was excellent. The best part was the several handsome young men at the entrance and front desk who helped with luggage and provided high-speed train station drop-off service. The toiletries in the room were of high quality, and the room was clean and tidy. The only downside was the poor soundproofing of the rooms. During my nap and in the middle of the night, various noises from outside the door sounded like they were right next to my ear, making it impossible to sleep. Also, some of the female staff at the front desk were a bit aloof. When I specifically asked for a quieter room, their cold and perfunctory response was unpleasant. The self-service laundry was also very far away. The breakfast, dinner, and coffee at the Star-Gazing Pavilion were unforgettable, especially the beef noodles – they were absolutely delicious!

My first time in Lanzhou, and my stay at the Hyatt was excellent! The front desk staff were warm and attentive, providing heartfelt service. The breakfast was quite substantial, with local specialties too. The room view was unbeatable, overlooking the Yellow River as it flows through the city, and the night view was also spectacular! The hygiene was also top-notch! Next time I visit, I'll definitely stay here again! Very happy.

Exceeded my expectations, very satisfied! The facilities are brand new, clean, and tidy. There was a very slight, negligible odor. It's quiet and only 3 minutes from the airport. The service attitude is great, and it offers incredible value for money (199, with an inner-facing window, which is totally acceptable!). The only two minor drawbacks are: 1. The shower drain is too shallow, causing water to overflow. 2. There's a leak under the sink. However, these are minor flaws that don't detract from the overall experience. I will definitely be back!!!!!!

This was easily one of the most memorable stays during our trip to China. The camp is located right beside the stunning desert, offering breathtaking sunrise and sunset views. What impressed us most was how many activities were included for free. We enjoyed unlimited sandboarding on the dunes, a camel riding experience, and even had the chance to ride off-road motorcycles in the desert. Everything was well organized and suitable even for first-time visitors. The traditional Dunhuang-style dinner was delicious and gave us a great opportunity to experience local flavors. In the evening, we watched a wonderful bonfire party with live performances, and the spectacular molten iron fireworks show was absolutely amazing—something we had never seen before. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The tents were comfortable, clean, and surprisingly well equipped considering the desert location. If you’re looking for a unique desert adventure that combines natural beauty, local culture, exciting activities, and excellent value for money, this is the perfect place. Highly recommended for international travelers visiting Dunhuang! We would definitely stay here again!

The best aspect of this stay was by far the owner. He was incredibly, incredibly helpful and friendly — from the moment I walked in the door he offered me a cup of tea, then provided tea and bread the next morning for breakfast, offered advice on what to see in the area, arranged a car to take me to Dalzong Lake, and finally even found me a spot on a local minibus going to my next destination. I couldn’t have done half the things I did during my stay in Xiahe without his advice and efforts on my behalf, so that alone made staying here fully worthwhile! It’s worth mentioning that the guesthouse’s architecture is also absolutely beautiful, and everything looks quite new. It’s located down a quiet side alley off of one of the main commercial streets in town, which seems like the ideal placement. On the accommodations: I stayed in one of the two tents erected on the second floor of the guesthouse. This was largely quite a good experience! The bed was very comfortable (with a heated pad), water and towels provided, etc. The tents are not in a closed-off area, but rather on the second floor/balcony area that also is used for sitting, serving tea, etc., so privacy is somewhat limited, but the whole guesthouse is relatively quiet anyway so it doesn’t feel like a public space. My only suggestions for improvement would be related to the bathroom: during my stay, the shared bathroom for the tents was a sort of temporary-style booth installed in the corner of the room with a toilet, sink, and showerhead. The bathroom was very clean and everything inside worked well, but its sliding door separated from the wall enough that there was always a substantial enough space on one side or the other that could be seen through (the door also didn’t lock and slid back and forth easily). The booth was also small enough that, realistically, I think it would be a bit of a challenge to actually use it to shower. If possible it might be worth looking into some simple fixes to improve these situations, but otherwise I have no complaints!

The front desk staff were incredibly warm and helpful, always ready to answer any questions. The hotel is super close to Dunhuang Night Market, just a few minutes' walk away. What's even better, especially after several days of travel, is the self-service laundry facilities – so convenient! The room gets great natural light, and the hotel's location is perfect for getting anywhere in the city. When we checked out, the front desk even gave us a small gift, which was a really nice touch. I'll definitely be staying at Youfang again next time I'm in Dunhuang.

The warmth and sincerity of the people from the great Northwest are always so strong. The hotel is located in the old street pedestrian zone of the main urban area, which is very bustling yet quiet. Dining, shopping, and leisure are all conveniently available right outside. The hotel is clean and hygienic; I personally saw the cleaning staff move the bed to clean thoroughly, not missing any corners. That alone deserves a huge thumbs up! The hotel also offers free lucky draws, and I was fortunate enough to win a souvenir. We stayed for 3 days with our child, and I highly recommend the local street food right outside (Shan Cheng Hand-Shredded Meat, Cang Ying Beef Noodles).

The hotel's location is excellent, very close to Ming-Qing Street, Zhenyuan Tower (currently under construction), Mutasi Temple, and Dafo Temple, all within walking distance. The accommodation is great—clean and comfortable. There's also a private parking lot. The service was excellent, and they even provided complimentary breakfast, which I really appreciated! Highly recommended! 👍🏾
