The Lanzhou Friendship Hotel is located in the western end of the town, just near to the western railway station. This is one of the quieter and sweeter of the Lanzhou hotels and at its price is a decent option for you to try. The hotel is also really useful for those travelling to Xiahe since the long distance bus station is also nearby.

There are 630 rooms here, including suites and standard rooms, all with good facilities. More than 20 conference rooms in different sizes and styles are available and a banquet hall is equipped with modern audio visual facilities. The business center provides photocopying, interpretation, postal and typing services.

The hotel has Chinese restaurants, Western restaurants and a Muslim canteen. Recreation and entertainment facilities include a big dancing hall, a billiards room, a sauna, a gym and a beauty salon.
