The hotel is out dated, poorly maintained, and not clean. I would avoid it if possible. It is a convenient location. Midway between the Bell Tower and City wall. Thats about the only plus.

Great location .. That's all that was good. Dirty overall, Bugs in bed, dirty room, water coming through ceilings near lifts being caught in buckets, reported in previous reviews months before!,, Dining area at breakfast filthy ... Dim lighting but probably to disguise the grease on the floor that you could scrape up with a knife. Credit card actually charged... More

It looked as though the hotel was being renovated during our stay (though we didn't experience any related noise), with our room having been updated. The room size was great, beds were really comfy with soft mattresses and the bathroom was very modern with a rain shower, location was great, near to the south gate of the city walls, though... More

This hotel, that could use some updating, has friendly staff and an excellent location. The rooms are basic but a little worn. Ok if you just want to sleep there.

The best thing about this hotel by far has to be the location. It is situated within the city walls of Xian and is within walking distance of all the places I wanted to visit. The rooms were quite modern with lovely bathrooms and really comfy beds. There is also all the lovely complimentary stuff that you expect to receive... More

On arrival we were told our room was "being made up" and would be ready within 30 minutes. Thirty minutes later we were told that they would start cleaning the room within the NEXT 30 minutes. Thirty minutes later, after "follow up" by me, the room was ready. Unfortunately, though, the promise that our bags would be brought to the... More

I travelled part of a tour group and stayed here for 2 nights. This was one of the better hotels if not the best one I stayed in China. For location it is excellent as the shops (inc designer) are nearby, a massive supermarket round the corner. Make sure you ask for directions to find this as it's not obvious.... More

The Hotel is in an excellent location. On one of the main streets inside the city walls. 5 minute walk to the Bell tower - 10 minutes to the Drum tower. The Bell Tower is accessible via an underground walkway. 2 minute walk to the South Gate of the city walls. Once on the wall we were about 100m away... More

I stayed here for 3 nights during my recent China trip and had a nice stay. The hotel was quite modern and didn't have as much charm as some of the other hotels I stayed in but the location was fantastic! It was situated inbetween the bell tower and the drum tower and was a short walk to most places... More
