Gaolan Hotels with Wifi

"After visiting Bingling Temple, we drove straight to a hotel near Zhongchuan Airport, as the airport is really far from the city. Luckily, we could still order some Lanzhou delicacies via food delivery. The room was booked using Trip.com points, and the soundproofing was excellent. I couldn't hear any airplane or road noise at all, which allowed me to get a solid two and a half hours of deep sleep. The service was quite friendly, but I requested a room upgrade through Trip.com and it doesn't seem like I received one. Breakfast was decent. There weren't many hot dishes or protein options, but the beef noodles were really flavorful, especially the chili oil in them."

"Huge thanks to Manager Zhang for calling us, to driver Qiao for picking us up at Gate 11 of the airport terminal, and to Manager Wang at the front desk. This is a truly unique hotel. Even before we arrived, they were already reaching out. While we were still on the high-speed train, a call came through, asking about our flight arrival time. I mentioned we were coming by high-speed train to Zhongchuan Airport East Station and wondered if they could pick us up. Manager Zhang replied, 'Yes, a driver will contact you.' Manager Zhang asked for our train number and arrival time. Sure enough, less than ten minutes later, a text message arrived from the telecom company, directing me to Gate 11 of the terminal's arrival exit after getting off the train. Mr. Qiao, the driver, clearly specified the car's color and license plate number. As I was typing a reply, Mr. Qiao's call came in, again confirming his parking location. Since we mentioned we were an elderly couple, Mr. Qiao politely asked about the color of our clothes. My husband and I exited Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport East Station, took the escalator, and quickly found Gate 11. Just as I was about to call, Mr. Qiao walked up to us, greeted us politely, confirmed our identities, helped us with our luggage into the car, and assured us that someone would take care of our bags upon arrival at the hotel. Once the car stopped, Manager Zhang warmly and proactively took care of us, carrying our luggage into the lobby and then all the way to our room. As soon as we entered the room, the housekeeping staff delivered fresh fruit. The next morning, our airport transfer was scheduled for 7:30 AM. Our principle is to avoid inconveniencing others, so we always arrive earlier than the scheduled time. By 7:15 AM, we were downstairs, completing the check-out process at the front desk. Manager Wang (I believe she's a manager, though we didn't see her title on her nametag, only her surname Wang) told us to eat breakfast before getting in the car, and she would let us know when it arrived. I replied that we hadn't booked breakfast, as our flight was business class, and we'd eat at the airport. She insisted, 'It's fine, have a little something.' She then arranged for us to sit down, asked if we wanted milk or millet porridge, and personally brought us two cups of milk and two bowls of porridge. When the car arrived, she again escorted us to the car, helped with our luggage, and ensured it was safely stowed. I mentioned there was a type of fruit we hadn't seen before. She packed a few for us in a food bag and told us its name and how to eat it. We've encountered hotels that call ahead to inquire about arrival times, but never one with such meticulousness and such seamless coordination with the driver. We've had drivers pick us up from stations and airports, but never one as thorough and enthusiastic as Mr. Qiao. We've met lobby managers, but never one like Manager Wang, who treats guests like family. This is a truly special hotel. This is also a hotel with culture. It features a cultural promenade, not just a few thick books for decoration or blatant tourism advertisements. Here, you'll find sculptures and paintings. On the third-floor elevator landing, there are shadow puppet-themed artworks. These art pieces showcase the history, culture, folk customs, and art of Gansu. I shared photos of these artworks with my students, and we discussed Gansu's history, culture, and geological features on WeChat. They all agreed that very few hotels nationwide focus on cultural taste. This hotel truly is a culturally rich hotel. **Facilities:** Very new, all equipment works perfectly. **Cleanliness:** Excellent. **Environment:** Very close to the airport and Zhongchuan Airport East High-Speed Rail Station. The shuttle takes only two or three minutes. From our room, we could see the airport main building and control tower, and observed aircraft taking off and landing, yet there was absolutely no noise. Due to light rain, we didn't explore the surroundings. **Service:** Outstanding. My husband and I are grateful to all the hotel staff."

"Great for a one-night layover. The complimentary airport pick-up was fantastic. The room itself was clean, tidy, and very comfortable for our stay. **Facilities:** Well-appointed. **Cleanliness:** Spotless. **Environment:** Pleasant. **Service:** Excellent and very thoughtful. The airport shuttle service was incredibly convenient and a huge help. The breakfast was clean, though a little basic."

"The room is great, although this time we had an issue with the morning to the airport service. We arrived on time at 6:20am and there was no room in the shuttle that was scheduled. It’s very stressful to wake up early and make sure you don’t miss a flight, and they clearly overbooked the shuttle, even though we specifically arranged this the night before. A rude family pushed past us too and the hotel staff didn’t really communicate what was going on. I appreciate the hospitality during the stay, but guests shouldn’t have to worry about missing a flight from rude other guests and miss-counted shuttles."

"The hotel has new hardware and large rooms. It is more than ten minutes' drive from Lanzhou Airport. The service is very good, from the front desk to the restaurant and room service are very enthusiastic and professional."

"The front desk service was excellent, and the room was incredibly spacious and clean. It was also very quiet. The beef noodles for breakfast were fantastic – the beef slices were huge, and the chef even performed a live noodle-pulling demonstration. The dining environment was also very pleasant."

"This hotel is absolutely fantastic! The rooms were clean and hygienic, and the hotel offers a free airport shuttle. The driver even helped with my luggage. It's also incredibly close to the airport, only a 10-minute drive. The next day, I was rushing to catch an early flight and forgot my earphones in my room. I contacted the front desk, and the driver even made a special trip to bring them to me. I was so grateful! A must-try! Highly recommended!"

"Perfect end to the trip to the northwest, staying at this hotel exceeded expectations. The room was clean and tidy, the bedding and bathroom were refreshing and comfortable, the store was fully equipped and the living was very comfortable. The front desk service is meticulous and intimate. The most plus point is that the hotel is equipped with free pick-up and drop-off. You don't have to worry about the traffic. The convenience of travel is full. It is the first choice for travel here!"

"Amazing hotel with clean rooms and excellent service. The staffs are very helpful and accommodating. FREE laundry service, airport shuttle and supper. The most impressive part is their library with a great selection of Chinese books. The books can be return at any other Atour hotels around the country. Such a great concept!"

"The most considerate hotel on this trip, with complete facilities, clean and tidy. The travel agency originally assigned a hotel in Lanzhou city, but considering the return trip, I booked a hotel near the airport by myself, who was responsible for the airport drop-off and upgraded to a family room! The room is large and the bed is comfortable, all new! Forgot to take pictures! Recommended, worth staying!"
