The hotel is difficult to find on the map and can be confused with Venus Internal which is next to the Hourui metro station. It is on the D exit about 10 minutes walk. The outside does not look welcoming. But when you near, friendly manager would greet and help you. Staff is poor in English communication but will sort things out with some patience. I got upgraded to a room on the 8th floor. It was well laid out, spacious, well maintained and clean. Bed and pillows are specially comfortable. Had such a great sleep even with jet-lag. Morning service to airport was great, with buses running every half hour. Takes only 5 minutes to the airport. In the evening you may strolled back towards the Venus Internal hotel and experienced a lively Caowei street with lots of little restaurants. My favorite it a Muslim Lanzhou noodle shop run by a young couple where the husband will make fresh pulled noodles while wife will stir fry.
