Top Xi'an Hotel Reviews

Hilton Xi'an City Wall

10/10 Excellent

"Only stayed one night as part of visiting the terracotta warriors, but the hotel was excellent. One of the restaurants was not operating but we had a really nice meal in the bar area. Breakfast was extremely comprehensive, suiting all tastes."

XI’AN DAJING CASTLE HOTEL

8/10 Good

"The hotel is quite outdated and is currently undergoing renovations. Unfortunately, both rooms we were shown had a noticeable smoke smell. However, the staff was extremely kind, patient, and accommodating. They did everything they could to help, including moving us to another room and providing an air purifier, which helped somewhat. The location is very convenient and close to many attractions and restaurants. While the hotel itself could use some updating, the excellent staff and convenient location were definitely positives."

Sofitel Xian on Renmin Square

10/10 Excellent

"Our premium / executive room was clean and spacious and the breakfast quality was excellent. I paid extra for access to their club lounge and its worth it for extra snacks and drinks. Hotel is about 15/20 minute walk to a metro and 30 min walk to the old town centre (bell tower). Area is safe and is easy to use DIDi (uber equivalent) via the Allipay app. No food places nearby but in house hotel food is high quality and town centre is nearby - definitely visit the Muslim quarter for food, and the shopping centre opposite the bell tower if you fancy high end chinese food at affordable western prices."

Sofitel Legend People's Grand Hotel Xian

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful 5 star hotel with excellent service."

Jinjiang West Capital International Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location is very convenient, with easy access to the city's main attractions. The room was spacious, clean, and came with complimentary bottled water. Most importantly, the staff were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. One of the front desk staff members, whose last name is Zhao, provided excellent recommendations for transportation and must-see attractions. His helpful advice saved me a lot of time and made my trip much more enjoyable."
