The lobby of this hotel was on the 5th floor of Lanzhou Center which is a fairly large mall complex. The rooms were from the 6th floor and up. It is a relatively small but cozy hotel. They offered the free usage of a washer, dryer, detergent and fabric softener in a self-serve laundry room on the lobby floor which came in quite handy. Service was quite good and the buffet breakfast was a fairly good value. Regarding location, it is less than a 10 minute walk from the Xizhanshizi subway station (There is only one line to the Lanzhou metro which goes to the Lanzhou West Railway Station which is on the high-spreed rail line). A Bank of China branch is right across the street from the subway entrance. There is plenty of outdoor shopping, fast food and restaurants nearby both Western (including KFC and Burger King) and Chinese. The Gansu Provincial Museum is also 5 minutes a way and is great. In short, it is in an excellent location. If I were to stay in Lanzhou again, I would definitely stay here.
