Top Xi’an City Center Hotel Reviews

Novotel Xi'an The Bell Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Great price at great location and such outstanding service"

Xi'an Bell Tower Yongning Gate Manxin Hotel-Barrier-free English Service Non-smoking Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A very modern hotel with a great location. Rooms were spacious, clean and elegant with separate toilet from the shower. Staff were very courteous and helpful especially our cleaning lady and the one who was so helpful with the Free laundry facilities. Buffet was decent with lots of variety. Would definitely stay here again and recommend."

Grand Mercure Xian Renmin Square

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was over the top with helping me, especially Eva at the desk and Warren at the door. I hadn’t set up any local trips before I arrived but they took care of taxis and getting me an outstanding English guide (“Wang”) at the Terra Cotta Warriors excavation site. Unfortunately the laundry prices were a little high. I had a full load, 9 tee shirts for instance, with the associated clothing, not much else that cost over $100 to get done. The pool and restaurant are in another building, another hotel actually but the buffet was a spread you wouldn’t believe. At about $25, it made the buffets in the US look like a fast food snack bar. Two other restaurants, Italian and Chinese, were in the other buildings in this gated complex. Yes the Mercure was slightly dated, but not enough to warrant criticism. It was located about 30-40 minute taxi drive (cheap at about $7) from the Xi’an north “bei” (pronounced “bay” train station."

Sofitel Xian on Renmin Square

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location. An oasis of peace in busy city. Great breakfast! Easy to walk or taxi to locations in walled city or nearby. Use Didi for taxis for better rate, though they cannot pick up directly in the hotel campus. There are two other hotels plus conference centers on this enclosed historic square."
