If you want to stay inside the old walled city (and why wouldn't you?) this is the only real choice. The hotel is good value, given the perfect location bang in the centre of town, with clean, comfortable rooms and a choice of in-house dining (which we didn't use - the nearby options are great). They also have an on-site... More

You get what you pay for. It's not the best if you are used to a particular standard but the people are great very friendly and helpful. It wasn't what I was expecting the room s very small and old but gives you a taste of china. Wifi is free but Only works in lobby. Although I have given this... More

This is the hotel to stay, right in front the is the Bell Tower and a 2 minutes walk is the Drum Tower. At night the illumination give a nice view of the place. Also there is a lot of restaurant close by. The wall is at 20 Yuan by rickshaw or taxi or a 30 minutes walk.

Of the 5 hotels we stayed in while in China, this was by far the worst! We understand that the location might be excellent, but if you are on a tour with a guide and leaving the area anyhow, do not stay here. On the other hand, if location is your main goal, you probably can tough out the HARD... More

Stayed 3 nights after Easter this year. Unbeatable location. We whole hotel looked dated & in need updating. We were turned away from breakfast restaurant, even we would pay for it! We stayed at the back of the hotel because it is a lot quieter. The front of the hotel is the main flow of traffic, but you get the... More

Best thing about this hotel is the location. Make sure you get a room overlooking the Bell Tower. It is fascinating to watch the traffic moving round the Tower without colliding. At night the Tower lights up and provides a lovely view from the bedroom. Unfortunately the rooms and corridors do smell of smoke although non smoking rooms. Rooms are... More

We were faced with the choice of staying in a western-brand hotel in the western 'enclave' area of Xi'an, or to stay somewhere more central. We took the latter option, and it worked out great. First the location: our room faced the Bell Tower just across the road. Indeed, at night with the curtains open, the Bell Tower was such... More

We were only in Xi'an for a couple of nights and this hotel was OK. Great location and average rooms. Plenty going on locally (especially like the Muslim quarter near the drum tower). Very hard beds and constant smell of smoke in the corridor.
