Mercure Hotel Feitian (Lanzhou Railway Station Subway Station)

Very clean and the reception was extraordinarily friendly. Located right next to the Railway Station.

The hotel in not the Mercure hotel and is abusing the name in the English version of the posting in Trip.com. There is no sign on the hotel shovin the Mercure name which makes difficult to identify it, also because the entrance is definitely nothing like a Mercure hotel would show. A couple of block down the street there is a hotel with big Mercure sign. I can guess this one got in trouble and now nowhere shows the brand name apart than in the catchy post on Trip, and the reception denies that they are the Mercure. Apart of that the place is a chimney only suitable for heavy smokers and smoke preservation. I had to go through a number of rooms to get one where I could try to breath without choking. It is obvious that any smoke detection system is permanently disabled and therefore the place is at extremely high risk of fire. Apart of this the place is underpriced for a legitimate Mercure hotel, but largely overpriced for the nearly 2 stars place they are. Despite the troubles, the personnel did their best to maintain a good level of service and tried their best to accommodate, including offering free cancellation.

Good for one night in Lanzhou I appreciate the self-laundry service
