The location is excellent, right in the centre of Xian. It was a great place to meet people and party. The staff took us to a local club/bar and helped us have fun.

staff was very helpful, as long as you have the patience and wear a smile, I saw other guests having conflicts, but generally they expected Western standards in a country that is 3rd world, never mind the glitzy shopping malls. The hostel was very basic in an old post office building, with a NOISY bar, but you can walk to... More

We stayed there for 2 nights. The hostel is good for trips in the city because you can walk. The hostel is a typical hostel with walls used as guestbook, dirty and spitting people. Our room was big with 4 beds. Our own bathroom was in our room seperated by a glass wall.. so there was a stinky smell in... More

We had a bit of trouble finding the place as the entrance is just a narrow hallway on a huge building. The first impression is not the best, the stairway is huge, dirty, with thousands and thousands of cigarette marks. The walls are all written on by the very many guests the place has had. After we finally found the... More

The bell tower hostel is a pretty cool place. The location couldnt be better, right in the centre of town. The bar was always busy (with a lot of locals) and there was a good vibe in general. The room was large and relatively clean and the shower fine. All in all however the hostel felt a bit worn and... More

This was a great place for the price. I transferred from a much pricier hotel across the circle. Single room on the 5th floor was much better than expected, the furniture had a colorful pop-art feel to it. TV worked alright, but of course no English stations! Surprised it had AC! The flights of stairs were a killer, the elevator... More

I can't really understand the positive reviews about this place. It was OK. Its positives are mainly its location. Close to the train station, close to the Bell Tower and other essentials, private rooms are adequate, internet (at a cost), restaurant and bar. Negatives for me would be its entrance, it looks more like a commision housing flat. Its common... More

nice place which is in the downtown, walking towards everywhere is pretty fast but i was on Floor fifth which almost killed us, moreover the noise from outside over the whole night! besides, the train is interesting breakfast was good, though a little slow. Sorry , what? just couldn't understand what were the local citizens talking about.. a trip with... More

We couldn't find the hostel to begin with as it was partly hidden behind some building work that was going on infront of the property. Check-in was very straight forward. We were also allocated room on the 5th floor, lift still not working. The staircase area looked old and run down especially with the broken lift doors. When we finally... More
