Overall, I'm very satisfied! The views of the Yellow River are absolutely stunning, probably one-of-a-kind in Lanzhou. The breakfast was also delicious; the ramen was just as good as what you'd find at a long-standing local shop. The room design and amenities were excellent too.
There were just two minor issues that could be improved:
First, the extra bed. How can I put it? It was quite a makeshift addition, very wobbly and unstable, and it would slide around. I felt really unsafe sleeping on it; I would have been better off on the sofa.
Second, the gym. It felt like they didn't really want guests to use it. The gym's reception is on the 6th floor, and the facilities are on the 7th. After getting to the 6th floor, I needed to take a special elevator, quite a distance from the reception, up to the 7th. My room key wouldn't work there, so I had to go back to the front desk. After they registered my room key, a staff member took a wristband and escorted me to the elevator. She swiped for the 7th floor and then left without much interaction. When I pressed her about how to get back down, she just said I wouldn't need the elevator to go from the 7th to the 6th and then quickly walked away. Honestly, I was quite speechless. It just didn't feel very welcoming. Because of this, I can only give the service 4 stars.
