I an doing business in the Chanba region of Xi'an so the Kempinski is perfectly situated for me. I have stayed at the Kempinski at least 8 times over the past two years. The hotel is rather remote from Downtown (a minimum 30 minute drive and usually longer with Xi'an's horrible traffic) so if you are there to visit the... More

We visited this hotel for one night as part of a Viking River cruise, prior to visiting the Terracotta Warriors the following day. To say it has no kerb appeal would be to flatter the establishment. It is a dreary building in a distinctly drab area. The dreadful pall of smog over the surrounding area also did the place no... More

Visited hotel during a Viking River Cruise/Tour. Primary purpose was to visit Terracotta Soldiers and hotel is closer to site than downtown hotels. Hotel and rooms are huge and lack adequate furniture and decorations, but has most of the menities you need -- hotel is not warm or inviting. Room was clean and warm, but cavernous. The buffet breakfast was... More

Recently stayed one night. Hotel very sterile feeling. No character. Part of Viking River Cruise tour. Don't stay on a rainy day/night. Several people including us had severe water seepage around windows. Carpet wet three feet into the room. A lot of people changed rooms and we could have also. We did not. Rooms very large and we could live... More

We spent one night here as part of a Viking cruise/land tour. The horel is new and somewhat out of the center of town, but it is set in a beautiful park-like stting. The rooms are enormous including the bathrooms. The amenities are all very upscale and the service is exactly what you would expect. The dining room buffet is... More

Altho' this hotel is out a ways from the city, it is magnificent. The guest facilities are huge and very well furnished. The staff is gracious and the food in the restaurant is excellent. We did have some friends who left the hotel and the their cab had trouble finding the hotel on the way back.

Lovely rooms and good first class facilities but the Hotel is really best described as a business use Hotel with large conference area - located well out of city but not a bad location to avoid the terrible city traffic if you want to see are the Terracotta Soldiers site.

I will not elaborate on the fact that it is poorly located. The rooms and furnishing sare worn. The room I was originally assigned to stunk chemical cleaning and precipitated an asthma attack. In fairness, my complaint was dealt with and I was moved to a bigger and non smelling room. We noted that the rooms come equipped with gas... More

We went with a view to visiting the Terracotta warriors. On arrival two things stand out. 1. It's absolutely miles from anywhere 2. Why is it there in the first place? Granted, like so much of China, there are great plans afoot to build from the city out to the Hotel/Conference Centre and its existence will certainly make sense then,... More
