"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 (1,668 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."

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!)"

Chengyu Chenghao Hotel (Xi'an Bell and Drum Tower Yongningmen Metro Station Branch) ★★★★
"We were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff, who were eager to make us feel at home in the hotel. Upon checking in, they offered us a delightful selection of two different types of flower tea. As we checked out, they kindly requested our feedback and even gifted us a thoughtful pack containing a pack of nuts, a pack of wet tissues, and an eye steam mask! They even went above and beyond to assist us when we inquired about weighing our luggage, ensuring we didn’t exceed the weight limit. Their helpfulness was truly appreciated. Regarding the location, the hotel is conveniently situated near the South Gate of the City Wall. However, it’s a bit of a distance from the metro station. The metro exit B is a staircase, which posed a challenge for us as we carried our luggage. We had to find alternative exits to reach the hotel. Since all the station’s escalators go up, we faced another issue when we wanted to take the metro to the airport. The exit D2, which has a lift, is quite a distance away. These inconveniences would not have been an issue if we didn’t have heavy luggage like we did. Despite these minor setbacks, this hotel remains an excellent choice for a comfortable stay if you want to visit places of interest near the South Gate."

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."

"This hotel boasts an excellent location right next to a subway entrance, making travel incredibly convenient. The staff were also impressively warm and attentive. However, the hotel's signs aren't very prominent, and it took a little while to find my way on my first visit. I'd suggest adding more directional signs. Additionally, it would be even more helpful for guests if a map of nearby restaurants was provided. Overall, it offers great value for money and I'd recommend it to travelers who prioritize convenient transport and good service."
