List Hotels in Lanzhou

Lanzhou Hotel Information

Lanzhou, a long strip of a city, is divided into two basic sections: the eastern and western ends of town. There is no special area that you should want to chose, although most of the hotels are situated in the eastern end. The food sections of town are scattered about, as are the city sights. If you are looking to quickly move on, to Xiahe say, or to the north, then being near to the transport routes would obviously be useful. If local sights are your main interest then a hotel with access to the two famous caves, the Bingling Si Caves and the Maijishan Grottoes are to be considered.

For those after the best, both the Friendship Hotel and the Victory Hotel provide comfortable lodging at a reasonable price. The Friendship, although in the western end of town, is one of the quietest and sweetest of the hotels here and is the best for catching buses on to Xiahe. For those with a little more money to spend, the Lanzhou Legend Hotel is probably the most luxurious in town, providing good facilities and a friendly service. For something a little quieter, the large garden of the Ningwozhuang Hotel, that is set back from the road, will be worth trying. Standard doubles will set you back a hearty RMB700, though.

Finally, for budget travelers the Lanzhou Mansions has dorm beds for RMB40. This hotel is located opposite the main railway station and near two of the bus stations.
