Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport

Skycity Hotel

So thankful for prior reviews that suggested staying here for an early airport departure.  The convenience to the airport can't be beat and the accommodations were lovely,  clean, calm and welcoming. 
The taxi driver had a very hard time finding the hotel by this booking name as it is actually signed and all interior decor reflects the name SKYCITY. Would have saved us time and frustration to know that detail,  so now you're informed :-)
Only glitch, not about the hotel, but good to know:
Our international flight was scheduled to depart at 7:30am and the reservation indicated allowing 3 hours for check in and Customs, so, we dutifully made our way by walking to the airport the short distance at 4:15am, only to find the airport COMPLETELY  closed. 
L o N g story short, we learned (NOT from the hotel as our inquiries to them were met with a shrug and "I don't know and can't find out for you." response. - hence only 4 stars) that this airport opens at "approximately" 5am. 
Even their 6:30am departures were on time.

The hotel is opposite Terminal T1 of Lanzhou ZhongChuan Airport, just across the airport car park. The room is comfortable and spacious. It provides free shuttle bus services from 5:30am to 12pm. As the traffic condition in Lanzhou is unpredictable (heavy traffic most of the time), it is advisable to stay in this hotel before the flight.

It was a good choice since I had an early flight the next morning and Lanzhou city hotels were too far.
I had room 611 on second floor.
Check in was quick in spite of lack of English speakers.  Room was simple and clean, hard mattress, no slippers, no washcloths, no bottled water. Shower hot/cold water mix was not uniform, although good water pressure. Shower stall door difficult to slide open and shut. Heating in room due to poor insulation was not consistent in different parts of the room. Bathroom had its own radiator.
Hotel has free airport shuttle. The TV stations were blurry and there was no english cctv channel.  For the purpose of transit this 3 star hotel serves it's purpose.

SKYCITY is the actual name for great access hotel

Hotel near Lanzhou Airport

Short stay in transit ok

The staff were very helpful. The room was old, worn and rusty but clean. The hotel was walking distance to the airport, fairly quiet and ok for one night. The breakfast was a tray of Chinese breakfast porridge, an egg and bits.

Old and Basic

This is a cavernous hotel that is too big for its purpose. On our visit it felt empty and quite eerie as a result. The whole place has seen better days. Though staff were friendly and they try very hard, there's no hiding the fact this place needs a total refit.

The rooms are old and it shows. The shower sealant and tiles were covered in mould, the plug sockets had scorch marks, the television was older than me, and there was a huge hole cut in the outside wall to take the pipe for the air conditioning unit (leaving a huge breezy gap around it). The beds weren't particularly comfy but on the plus side the linen was very clean and smelled strongly of laundry powder which was comforting given how dirty the bathroom was. 

With Lanzhou airport being so far from the city staying at an airport hotel is sometimes necessary and for the equivalent of about £20 a night we weren't really expecting anything amazing, and we did sleep well once we'd got our heads down. They do try - there were cosmetics in the bathroom, toothbrushes etc, and the requisite teas in the room itself. But really, this is an old and very run down hotel, there's no getting around that.

As an aside, be careful when trying to find this hotel from the airport. We were accosted by touts with cards written in English asking if we had a reservation, who tried to lead us to another hotel up a dark alleyway. This hotel is to the far right when you walk over. Don't be led the wrong way!
