Super 8 Hotel Lanzhou Square

Super 8 Hotel Lanzhou Square is an economy chain hotel at No. 1 Guangchang North Road in Chengguan District, Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu Province, about 300 m from Dongfanghong Square (postcode 730000). The position places guests at the centre of the city, close to the main square, city bus routes, the Metro and the shopping and dining streets that surround it. The Yellow River riverside, the Zhongshan Bridge and the Zhengning Road night market are within a short taxi ride or a longer walk.

Super 8 is a well-known budget brand with a standardised product: compact, clean rooms, comfortable beds and basic amenities at a low price. The Lanzhou branch offers standard rooms and twin rooms with free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Rooms are functional, with limited space and simple decor, and the emphasis is on cleanliness and value rather than extras. No restaurant, pool or fitness centre is listed, so guests eat in the many noodle shops and cafes around the square.

The service character is practical, with staff used to domestic budget and business travellers and a straightforward check-in. English may be limited, and visitors are advised to carry the hotel address in Chinese. The hotel suits solo travellers, backpackers and anyone who needs only a clean bed in a very central location.

From here, the Gansu Provincial Museum, White Pagoda Hill and the Yellow River Mother Sculpture are reachable by taxi or bus in roughly 10 to 20 minutes. Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport is about 70 km north of the city, and the railway stations can be reached by Metro or taxi. Prices are in the budget band, which is among the lowest for hotels this close to the square.
