One day business stay was okay with the corner rooms. Not so big room or bath but it was comfortable. Attached is an office room with desk, internet, etc which is an excellent plan. RMB450 with breakfast inclusive was a good deal though the breakfast variety could not be appreciated much. But food was tasty though. Quality of dental kits... More

The hotel itself is a bit tired and could do with some refurbishment.However you could forgive this for it's great location-right across from the old wall amd fortifications. At night these are lit up and make a magnificent sight.The room was comfortable and the breakfast very good,but sadly my room overlooked the airconditioning ducts and not the old wall.The hotel...

This Hotel was provided for us by China Travel in Hong Kong and we felt a bit like the Beverly Hillbillies..!! It was definitely POSH but also very low key and we had a most enjoyable two night stay while seeing the Warriors and the considerable scenery around the area....the Hotel is right by an ancient city wall....again free computer...

Massive rooms and great breakfast! About 10 minutes walk to the Bell Tower, which we visited at night, is well worth it! Although the site is a major road intersection, you get to it via an underpass (very busy and totally safe with the usual caveat to be wary of pickpockets). Once up on the bell tower you can see...

The room was fabulous and huge with a window running almost it's full length. The view was fantastic as it looked out over the impressive city wall which was lit up by night. By comparison the bathroom was small and drab and there wasn't a great deal of storage for the size of the room. This hotel is in a... More

Loved the room. Very spacious. A wonderful view of the old city wall. The staff was warm and welcoming. The resteraunt needs some serious help. The food is so so at best. They try to do to many types of food and as such the don't do anything well. Drink the tea and skip the coffee! If you must have... More

Nice hotel. Ideal location to visit the old city as it's just outside the city walls and 10 mins from bell tower (city centre). Great selection for breakfast and rooms were plenty big. The bar could do with some organisation. It took ages for us to get our order taken and longer for us to pay and get our change.... More

The hotel is in the perfect location just inside Xi'an city walls, which look particularly beautiful lit up at evening. We had come from Shanghai and Xi'an is a less developed city and that was reflected in a slightly lower standard of five star hotel (old TVs, dark furnishings etc) However as long as you expect that, it's a relatively...

We were initially grateful that they allowed us to check-in early. However, when we returned in the evening after a whole day tour, we complained about the warm temperature of their airconditioning. The housekeeper lady came, put up the temperature and opened the window! We complained again after an hour after no improvement in the room temperature. But no action... More

As a business traveller, I may be spoiled but i expected more. it was clean but very dated, the breakfast was ok but felt like a HOJOs in the US.
