"Return to this OJC hotel after 2 years. Excellent location with plenty of food pushcarts store just below the hotel. Having supper almost every night during my the 4 nights stays .MacDonald 3 minutes walk to a shopping mall . Train station just 2 minutes walking distance.. Bell Tower night lighting is awesome beautiful. We book a one day tour from the hotel lady to visit Bing Ma Yong .. lunch meal is included however taste and quality is just average (vegetarian as shown on photo). Transport is quite badly arranged after end of event… the young lady Tour Guide 小包only give us the Bus plate number and expect us the search around in the big open field carpark. Never expected they changed to be small mini buses. We almost miss the bus for our next concert event.."

★★★★ 9.5 (1,908 reviews)

"This stay at the麗怡酒店 (Liyi Hotel) was fantastic, mainly due to its excellent location. It's incredibly close to the subway station, making it super convenient for sightseeing or shopping. Plus, free parking is a great bonus. The hotel itself is well-equipped and the staff are attentive and friendly. My favorite part was the public terrace on the fourth floor, offering a great view of the city walls and a wonderful atmosphere. They also thoughtfully provide a complimentary late-night snack buffet from 8 PM to 10 PM, which is a real lifesaver for travelers out and about all day. The environment is spotless, and I felt very comfortable during my stay. It's easy to get to the Bell and Drum Tower and the Ming City Wall from here, making it perfect for both short trips and longer breaks. Definitely worth coming back to!"

Jingxin Hotel ★★★
"This was my first time staying in a room with XiaoDu voice control, and the smart curtains were incredibly practical! I could adjust them just by speaking while lounging in bed. They were perfect for creating an amazing atmosphere when watching movies. The intelligent design of the room was very thoughtful; XiaoDu responded instantly, the smart curtains operated quietly with no noise, and the blackout effect was excellent. Voice control was simple and easy to use."

"This hostel in Xi'an far exceeded my expectations! The location is fantastic, within walking distance of the Bell Tower and Muslim Quarter, and super close to the metro, making it really easy to get to the City Wall and Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The rooms are cleaned daily, and the bedding is changed for each new guest. The beds have blackout curtains and charging ports, and the separate wet/dry bathroom is clean and odor-free. The front desk staff were incredibly warm and helpful, patiently recommending travel routes and local dishes. The common areas have a relaxed and friendly vibe, with a great atmosphere for travelers from all over to chat, yet it's still quiet and not noisy."

Guyue Homestay (Xi'an Bell and Drum Tower Huimin Street) ★★
"My girlfriend and I booked this homestay in the Muslim Quarter for our two-day trip to Xi'an, and it was absolutely divine! We didn't need to take a taxi to try out all the popular street food, and the Bell and Drum Towers were just a ten-minute walk away. The overall design is minimalist and sophisticated with a light gray palette, perfect for taking photos. The full-length mirror in the room was a great touch, making it easy to snap pictures that make your legs look long and slender. Plus, they offer free luggage storage after check-out, which was incredibly thoughtful. Definitely a five-star experience!"
