Claims 2024 renovation, but the smell of renovation is still strong and pungent—better wait a few years before staying. The wiring for the smart curtains and lighting control system has series-parallel issues and doesn't open as instructed, which is very awkward for guests. The family room only includes 2 breakfasts;…
Stayed at Northwest Hotel during my trip to Lanzhou, and it exceeded expectations! Located in Chengguan District, not far from Dongfanghong Square and the Yellow River, making it easy to get to various attractions. The biggest surprise was the garden environment in the courtyard—lush greenery and especially quiet in…
A hotel with a strong sense of history—apparently it used to be a military district guesthouse, and the old photos in the lobby show many leaders have stayed here. It feels very safe to stay at.

Good to know
Does this hotel accept foreign guests?
Star-rated hotels — especially chains and anything four-star and above — almost always register foreign passports as routine. Smaller local hotels sometimes lack the foreign-guest license. Since 2024 hotels officially may not refuse foreign guests: if refused, call or SMS 12345. Book refundable when unsure.
How do I get there?
Show the big Chinese name above to any taxi or DiDi driver, or tap Find in Amap for turn-by-turn navigation. The Chinese name is what drivers read — English names are rarely recognized.
What does the star rating mean?
China's official hotel star rating is assessed by tourism authorities (GB/T 14308 standard): ★★★ = comfortable and reliable, ★★★★ = high-end with full services, ★★★★★ = luxury. It certifies quality, not foreign-guest policy — that's why we flag it separately.
How do I pay there?
Set up Alipay or WeChat Pay with your foreign Visa/Mastercard before you fly — QR payments work at virtually every hotel. Foreign credit cards are accepted at the front desk of most star-rated hotels. Full payments guide →
