Top Xi’an City Center Hotel Reviews

UrCove by Hyatt Xi'an Bell Tower Huimin Street

10/10 Excellent

"Very hip hotel close to the center of the old town. Delightful."

Hilton Garden Inn Xi'An Bell Tower

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful, amazing trip and we were so happy with this hotel. The location is extremely convenient, within easy reach of all the famous city landmarks, including the Bell Tower, and Muslim quarter. The buffet breakfast was incredible, with really delicious food. Every member of staff was warm and friendly, and they surprised us with a couple of nice little gifts during our stay. Our room was very spacious, fitted with big windows. Lots of natural light flooded in, making the room bright and open. It had a really unique, pleasant atmosphere, a lovely vibe. We highly recommend staying here!"

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."
