Ningwozhuang Hotel - Lanzhou

The building needs some work but it very quiet. Building 8 has spacious rooms. There was no fridge in the room and none could be found. The safe didn’t work and the WiFi was spotty. The restaurants are spread out. I tried to get room service when I arrived but I was told that I had to go to the cafeteria. Food is pricey compared to local restaurants. Bring a translator (app). The staff has very limited English.

This hotel (government-run, I think) consists of several different buildings, in spacious and well-landscaped grounds. The atmosphere is business-like. The rooms in Building 1 (where I was located) are luxurious and quiet; and the buffet breakfast is extensive and excellent.

Everything is impressive with this hotel, starting from the lobby. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped. Mine had a very nice bed, a gorgeous desk, and a very, very nice bathroom. The breakfast is amazing. Albeit the hotel is by a very busy avenue, the rooms are very silent thanks to the gorgeous gardens that surround the facilities. I only found odd the availability of the exercise room: it opens at noon. Apart from this, it was a great experience.
