"We had a wonderful stay at the Novotel Bell Tower Xi’an. The highlight of our experience was the exceptional service from the staff, who were always warm, friendly, and helpful. A special mention goes to the concierge (we didn’t get his name)who went above and beyond by waiting with us until our Didi arrived to make sure we got into the correct car. That thoughtful gesture made us feel safe and well taken care of. The family room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, providing plenty of room for our family. We also appreciated the complimentary self-service washer and dryer, which was incredibly convenient during our trip. Another lovely touch was the complimentary afternoon tea, which was a nice way to relax after a day of sightseeing. Overall, this hotel offers excellent service, comfortable accommodation, and thoughtful amenities in a great location. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Xi’an."

Four Points By sheraton Xi'An Bell Tower

📍 No. 79 West Street, Lianhu District, Xi'an
★★★★★ 9.5 (1,720 reviews)

"The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, less than a 10-minute walk from the Bell Tower and right next to Exit D1 of Guangjijie Station on Metro Line 6. Since it's a relatively new hotel, the room facilities are quite modern. The staff are very polite, and the breakfast offers a wide variety of options. From our triple room, we even had a view of the Bell and Drum Towers. Upon checkout, we were given a complimentary souvenir. I do have a few small suggestions: it would be great to have a mini trash can on the vanity for makeup waste, saving a trip to the toilet. Besides the standard bar soap, perhaps a bottle of liquid hand soap could be provided to cater to different guest preferences. The lighting in the bathroom is generally a bit dim; for guests who enjoy doing their makeup, the light from the magnifying mirror alone is insufficient. If I have the chance to visit Xi'an again, I would definitely consider staying here."

The guest rooms are exceptionally clean, the bedding is comfortable, and the soundproofing is good, making it suitable for both short stays and extended stays.

Center Hotel (Xi'an Bell Tower) ★★★★
"Hotel had an absolutely amazing view of the bell tower from our room. The twin room had the best view so we opted for that instead of our usual Kingbed. We were celebrating wife's birthday so staff had kindly put baloons and petals on the bed. Laundry area is available for self service. Complimentary cold water bottles available in reception as soon as you walk in which is great during the summer heatwave. We are muslim so had a small selection of food options for breakfast but was enough to start our day. The only let down was that our bedsheets were not changed during our 3 night stay. Housekeeping tidied up and emptied the bins, replaced towels etc but would have been great if the sheets were also changed out (nights can get hot in China fresh bedsheets are always appreciated!)"

Four Points By sheraton Xi'An Bell Tower ★★★★★
"This is considered a decent hotel near Muslim Street, especially since it's newly opened and clean. However, when we checked in in the afternoon, the front desk said they upgraded our room. We didn't notice any difference when we first went in, so we just dropped our bags and went out. It wasn't until we came back to rest at night that we realized we'd been 'upgraded' to a 'noise room.' Being close to the road, from evening until early morning, when there were fewer cars on the street, the tire noise from faster vehicles was incredibly loud. We could tolerate that, but then there were the occasional motorcycles, and their exhaust sounds were genuinely deafening. My child lay in bed from past 11 PM until after 2 AM, complaining that the outside noise was keeping them awake. After finally falling asleep at who-knows-what-time, they were woken up again around 6 AM by the road noise. We didn't get any good sleep all night. Plus, the light on the bedside switch was quite bright, so on top of not sleeping well, there was a constant dim light. The experience was truly awful."

"I stayed at the Ximan Hotel for a business trip and was very satisfied overall. The hotel's location is convenient, making it easy to get around by taxi. There are many shopping centers and dining options nearby, which is great for daily work and meals. The room was quiet and peaceful, perfect for working and resting. The desk was spacious and functional, and the internet was stable and reliable. The cleanliness was excellent, with meticulous daily housekeeping and fresh, crisp bedding. The front desk service was professional and efficient, and the check-in process was quick and easy, not delaying my schedule at all. The hotel has a simple yet elegant ambiance, not overly luxurious, focusing on comfort and practicality. It offers better value for money than similar hotels in the area and is an excellent choice for business travel."

EASTERN HOUSE(Near Bell&Drum Tower City Wall) ★★★★★
"This was my fourth and unfortunately the worst price-value hotel I stayed in China. Overall, the place felt like a Western tourist scam. The staff did speak decent English, but if you do some effort and stay in other Chinese hotel chains, the experience would be better. The amenities are very used up and not well maintained. The room was dusty, and the shower drainage was damaged. This is not something I would expect in a five-star hotel. Breakfast was fine, location was good, the room was quiet, but very dark and I just had one small window, so there was very little natural light."
