Houtu Ancestral Hall

One of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. There's a cat cafe and beds are super comfortable. 2 gaming desks and air purifier. Bath tub and spa are a bonus! Receptionists are friendly and helpful. Super spacious and clean room. I'll definitely stay here again when I come to xian again. Convenience stores next door.

The building, location & its history may make this hotel a ‘Legend’ but we were disappointed by our stay here. While the rooms are ‘luxurious’ (in a rather fussy way) the public areas are now looking rather bland, dated & past their best and lack any atmosphere. We were also less than impressed with our dinner at the Dolce Vita restaurant & the limited breakfast buffet on offer. However, guests here are also able to access all the facilities at the neighbouring Sofitel Xi’an & here you can enjoy an amazing buffet breakfast and dinner at their Azur restaurant which we highly recommend! Both hotels sit side by side in a lovely garden with fountains inside the old city (as well as an Mercure hotel). Both have amazing staff who are very attentive. Which hotel you choose just depends on taste. We also recommend going to the evening Fountain & Laser Show at the Wild Goose Pagoda (just 4 subway stops, no changes) It may only last 20 minutes but is well worth the effort of going!
