Cari Hotel 2-Star di Lanzhou

The room is clean and bed is comfortable. Hotel is a walking distance to Zhongshan Bridge and the White Tower Hill (白塔寺）. Our room is above the night market, so it was noisy in the evening. There are coffee and tea in the lobby.

Central location with restaurants and buzzing streets all around. Luckily the hotel is on a side street, so the noise is not that bad. Nights are quiet and on days you mostly hear cars honking in the distance and occasional garbage trucks driving through. The room was clean and modern looking, albeit a little cramped. Otherwise the place left a slightly weird feeling. Other reviews have mentioned single-use towels and paper cups, but I also noticed that there was no tea or coffee provided to the guest. The bed matress wasn't that comfortable either. It seems like the place tries to cut costs at every corner, yet the price is higher than in similar budget establishments. It could be that you are paying purely for the location.

這家酒店是我旅遊以來住的性價比最高的酒店，一百多就可以住在市中心，樓下就是馬安軍辣子牛肉麪，旁邊就是美食商業街，蘭州中心，甘肅省博物館，離公交站和地鐵站都非常近，出行非常方便，老闆的態度也很好，至於其他評論説的情況，我覺得這個要見仁見智，如果對酒店要求高的，可以去住四五百一晚的，這個酒店就一百多一晚，還要啥自行車，如果是出來玩，住酒店衹是為了過夜，沒有其他的額外需求的話，我非常推薦這家酒店

I stayed in this hostel for a total of 5 nights, with two breaks when I went on tours outside of Lanzhou. I have put in reviews earlier, so this is my final for the hostel that had begun to feel like Home. The hostel itself is very comfortable a stay: clean, comfortable wide bed with sliding door for privacy, nice seating areas... It is run by a family who take turns staying over so that there is 24 hour reception. All are friendly and kind, especially the father. The parents don't speak English but you can easily use a translation app; other guests will probably interact with you. The location: it is situated about a 5 minute walk to the Yellow River Tower, and a further 10 minute walk to the Lanzhou Old Street area where there is an amazing array of food options. Just outside the hostel is a Halal (Muslim-run) restaurant called (Ruhua 如华）which the hostel owners say have been in operation for 20 or 30 years. The hand-pulled (手抓) mutton that I had there was fantastic, even though I am typically not a mutton eater --- the taste is a delicate and balanced mix of light spices (I could taste a hint of ginger, for example) and saltiness. And the 八宝茶 is also excellent. A 7 minute walk to the right after exiting the hostel (past the above -mentioned restaurant) to the main road where many buses ply, you will find another good mix of local food options, especially in the morning. The hostel is conveniently located near the Lanzhou West railway station. There is a bus 136 that runs just outside the hostel and gets you to the railway station in 20 minutes. Hope this helps someone deciding on where to stay in Lanzhou, since there doesn't seem such a good range of hostels. Some photos of the yummy food nearby : ) Thank you for such a comfortable stay, hosts!

On the map this hotel is about 900m away from the Lanzhou West train station, but I would advise you to take a taxi/ride-hail vehicle if you have large/heavy luggage. You have to either cross an overhead bridge without lift to reach the hotel, and because the stretch of road has buildings beside it that are undergoing construction, it can be a bit difficult to navigate the footpath which sometimes spills over to the road. Alternatively, you can take the metro for one stop and backtrack, but you would have to put your luggage through the scanner, let security test your liquids in the luggage, etc. There is a convenience store outside the hotel, but otherwise there isn't much shopping to be done. The location is good only because it is near the train station.

離文理學院蠻近的，衹是需要繞一圈過去。房間很大，床也很大，被子很厚實暖和，採光很好，晚上還能看夜景。老闆姐姐人很好，非常熱情善良好説話，如果你第二天有考試的話姐姐説可以不用趕十二點退房（我是晚上六點入住的，如果超24h應該不行）。這會還沒裝修完畢，沒有無線網，公共廁所沒有洗手液和衞生紙以及其他洗漱用品，介意的話可以詢問一下。

Within easy walking distance to the train station - ideal for solo travellers, but far enough to not feel swamped in the crowds. The staff are friendly and personable, always happy to help and have a nice chat. This is a decent budget hotel, and was exactly what i would expect but the warmness and welcoming enviroment created by the staff was above and beyond and helped me feel at ease. Theres a small convinience store directly next to it with various shops and restaurants in the adjacent area providing useful. The bathroom couldve been a little cleaner, and the shower had some problems with water pressure and cleanliness but nothing bad enough to affect my stay. i will reccomend this place to any foreign friends staying in Lanzhou!

房間安靜，乾淨衞生，老闆大哥熱情似火，房間地理位置優越，不過在居民樓內，建議提前跟老闆溝通，獲得詳細地址，房間內設施齊全，床鋪乾淨整潔，枕頭非常柔軟，洗漱用品配備完善，價格適中。最重要這個酒店適合備考的朋友來，本人面試分數89分，可以接好運，在這邊住宿必然上岸

位置:地鐵站沿線，距離蘭州西站衹有一站地鐵，地鐵口出來就是，很好找，很方便。 房間:房間大窗户，寬敞明亮，床品細膩舒服，床墊也很好， 睡覺特別香，環境安靜、乾淨衞生。 設施:房間配備齊全，空調很給力，性價比高。 浴室:熱水穩定，水量大。 因為很好，所以才會每天下一個訂單續住，祝老闆生意興隆，以後來還住。

The place is a cheap solid utilitarian option in an excellent location. This is not a hostel for the meek. As far as I can tell: there are at least 16 sleep pods and one bathroom. (A 2-liter Platypus water bladder can, as always, help men not need to use the bathroom to pee as much (also great for not needing to leave the from room at all, for that.) There is a very accesible stairwell for any serious emergency- just bring a container and your TP. Bring your own toilet paper. No towel service. I am not sure my sheets were clean- I just slept in my clothes. The whole place needs a good scrub-down. WiFi is by QR-code only. Potable water appeared to be provided. Sleep pod had decent lighting and sockets. No carpets. Finding and accessing the building takes a little detective work but the person managing their account sent me decent enough pics to find my way. I got into and out of the building by following tenants- never needed to solo. The picture of the small room I got for $2 extra was not the one in the picture- it was actually in a pod; but the pod was in a good location. The place is a cheap solid utilitarian option in an excellent location.
