Home Inn Lanzhou East Bus Station (Gannan Road)

Home Inn Lanzhou East Bus Station (Gannan Road) is a budget hotel at No. 360 Gannan Road in Chengguan District, Lanzhou, Gansu Province, 730000. Home Inn is one of China's largest economy hotel chains, known for standardised, clean and affordable rooms, and this branch follows the same formula. The location is near the Zhengning Road night market and the city's east bus station, which makes it useful for travellers arriving by coach from towns elsewhere in Gansu, such as Linxia, Gannan and Tianshui. Gannan Road is a busy urban street with small shops, noodle restaurants and convenience stores, and the central areas around Dongfanghong Square and the Yellow River waterfront are reachable by taxi or bus in a short time. Rooms are listed as standard rooms and twin rooms, with free Wi-Fi, a private bathroom, air conditioning in summer and heating in winter. The hotel does not have extensive facilities, so dining is done locally; the night market nearby offers lamb skewers, hand-pulled noodles, fried potato cakes and sweet drinks in the evening, at very low prices. The service character is practical and no-nonsense, aimed at budget travellers, backpackers, and business visitors who need a simple place to sleep. Visitors should note that economy chains in China often require passport registration at check-in, and that English may be limited at the front desk, so a translation app is useful. The price band is among the lowest in central Lanzhou.
