Hantang Inn Hostel Xi'an, hotel in Xi'an

Hantang Inn Hostel Xi'an is centrally located in the heart of Xi'an, offering a unique blend of ancient Chinese and modern designs.

Fantastic rooms in fantastic hotel/hostel. Felt like a luxurious hotel - simple, high quality of rooms and food, great but held back service and friendly and beautiful atmosphere.

Honglu Garden Hotel Xi'an Bell and Drum Tower Huimin Street Store, hotel in Xi'an

Centrally located in Xi'an, Honglu Garden Hotel is set just beside Xi'an City Wall, only a 5-minute walk from the Zhuque Gate and a 15-minute walk from Yongningmen Subway Station.

I stayed here with my wife and really enjoyed the nights here. The facilities and the room exceded my expectations. The room was spacious with a sofa for drinking tee while looking at the City Wall. The bathroom was hight-end in everything. We also made use of the laundry room to wash our clothes. It was for free. Also, I want to highlight the attention of the staff with us. They booked taxis (cheap) and made some reservations for us. The front desk is open basically 24/7 despite what is stated in booking with regards to the check-in hours.

Eastwood Inn Xi'an, hotel in Xi'an

Eastwood Inn offers accommodation in Beilin District. The property is located only a 2-minute walk from Xi'an Forest of Stone Steles Museum. Free WiFi is available in all areas.

The location is perfect, near to the Wall and a lot of other attractions. The room is really good and exactly like photos. Hotel is very beautiful, tastefully decorated. Friendly and helpful host. Recommend to have Wechat to send messages but they reply by booking as well with no problem. Go to visit the Bell Tower at night and you will find streets crowed by food stands. Positively surprised, strongly recommend 👌 Bonus: probably you will be received by a lovely cat named Happy, so cute!

East Coast Coffee Inn, hotel in Xi'an

East Coast Coffee Inn features accommodation situated 2.3 km from the centre of Xi'an and provides a bar and a shared lounge.

This Hostel is simply outstanding. I have had 31 days travel in China on this trip. I have stayed at hundreds of different hotels and hostels during 12 years travelling and working away from the UK over the last 30 years. Miss Lu, who runs East Coast Coffee Inn has been the best host I have ever encountered. The hostel is spotlessly clean, situated just across a quiet road by the Xi an city wall. It is a four minute walk to the Tibettan Guangren Temple. From there it is just another short walk to the City gate. Immediately left and you can stroll along by the canal and river where trees and very well kept gardens give a lovely evening atmosphere with singles, couples and families enjoying themselves. Many evenings women meet up and dance for a couple of hours to music from their recorder. Maybe 50 maybe 30 maybe more. It varies. But they dance classic and modern, fast and slow. In the morning others gather to spend time in Tai Chi. It is a fascinating sight. The hostel is super modern, Ms Wu uses the Internet to give you as many locations, all on maps ready to go, as you need. The water at the hostel is piping hot all day. Busses run from by the Temple. Next door to her are a totally delicious BBQ restaurant with a big, low cost menu. On the other side is her Coffee shop. The situation, though central to the best places to go to, is very quiet so you sleep like a log. I came to China for the history, culture and food. Ms Wu put me in touch with Mariano who took me on a tour. He has 2 majors, Spanish and English. His knowledge of Chinese culture and History is amazing. Really deep and good information flowed non stop for the afternoon. He is well worth trying to hire if he is available and his area knowledge saves you so much wasted time and money. Honestly his tour, tailored to you is very cheap but seriously Interesting. There are plenty of washing machines and dryers, 4 of each, all new on each floor. Soap powder supplied and all free.

    This was a really really great hostel and I don't think I'd have found much better in Xi'an for the price. It's clean, the staff are super friendly and will chat with you. It's in a good location close to a metro station that goes straight to the city centre in 5 minutes and also some fast food shops and a mini supermarket. The showers and bathroom area are also nice and clean.

    They put at the roof top with very dim light to access our room. They try to sell rooms down stairs but pay almost double our current rate. I wouldn't recommend anyone to this homestay. Worst ever place to stay.

    Location, comfortable bed. It's not a hotel, its a homestay. The owners of the apartment rent out several rooms.
