This hotel was included in a 3 day Xi An tour, and was advertised/labelled as a 4 star hotel... The location is good, considering all the business (shopping, restaurant) on its right side, but that about it... The walls separating the rooms are made of paper, we could hear the neighbour snoring, the A/C unit was ridiculeously loud, the minibar... more

I can't say much about the price, as we went with a large tour group and all prices were covered by the tour. However the hotel is in a very nice location in central Xi'an with a park pretty much just out the front door where you can go take part in (or just watch) morning exercises each day. The... more

We stayed at this hote for 2 nights. It was a very well looked after hotel with good lobby and clean rooms. The location is pretty good as it is virtually in the centre of the city; everything is close by. As a minimum go down to the Bell Tower area and see the shoppers and crowds who gather there,... more

We stayed in this hotel as part of a group tour called Friendly Planet. Based on the price we paid for the entire tour (10 days for $1299), I did not expect much from the hotels. This hotel is on par with what I expected: POSITIVES: - Location: This place is located within the walls of the old part of... more

My wife and I stayed at the Aurum for two nights in late October. We were on a private guided tour of the historical sites in Xi'an. The hotel is well located right opposite the public square and several government buildings. You can see folks doing Tai chi exercises in the morning. We did not explore the shopping areas nearby... more

It is a 3-4 star western style hotel with chinese influences. The rooms were good, the maids did a really good job cleaning the rooms [not standard practice in China]. The breakfast buffet was sufficient. The hotel facilities like indoor pool and fitness center were mediocre. The location in town is fine. You can walk to the most important sites... more

I think we were early,but they did their best to let us check in soon after waiting about an hour. They claim they upgraded us to a suite instead of a double room,seems quite a nice room, although I thought it wasn't as big as a suite. They did entertained our request for a high floor, for views, although with... more

I'll start off by saying that i loved my suite. Having read some of the reviews on this hotel before leaving, I wasn't sure what to expect. We went as part of a 35 member group on a 10 day tour of China. We were in Xi'an for 2 days. It was a welcome experience. Much to my surprise we... more

The Hotel facilites are nice and have been recently renovated. The service at the hotel is terrible. When we checked in, they lost one of our passports. They insisted we had only given them 7 instead of 8, and refused to even look. Our local guide, after some haggling, went herself to look in the business center copy machine, where... more
