Top Xi'an Hotel Reviews

The Westin Xian

8/10 Good

"Thet tourist attractions of Big Goose Pavilion and the Tang Everlasting Night pedestrian street is right outside the hotel front lobby. We were given a quiet room far from the elevator. With all the activities outside, we could not hear a thing and had restful sleep during our stay. The subway station is about a 10 min. walk and the Shangxi History Museum is about a 20 min. walk. The room itself did show some wear but over all was still a solid 4 out of 5 star. During our last day of exploring in the area, we also found a grocery store "Fresh Hippo", an Alibaba's supermarket chain."

Hilton Xi'an City Wall

10/10 Excellent

"It’s one of the best staff services!! This know how to make your travel something memorable!"

Sofitel Xian on Renmin Square

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location. An oasis of peace in busy city. Great breakfast! Easy to walk or taxi to locations in walled city or nearby. Use Didi for taxis for better rate, though they cannot pick up directly in the hotel campus. There are two other hotels plus conference centers on this enclosed historic square."

Sofitel Legend People's Grand Hotel Xian

10/10 Excellent

"The room was pristine, the staff pleasantly solicitous and helpful. I would stay again."

XI’AN DAJING CASTLE HOTEL

10/10 Excellent

"Though the hotel isn’t new and the facilities are somewhat worn, the location could not be better — everything is nearby. A shopping complex with a Starbucks and food court is right next door. Still, the hotel’s greatest asset is its staff. Our first room reeked of cigarette smoke, despite the hotel being completely smoke‑free. We called the front desk, and staff swiftly moved us to a new room and assisted with our luggage. The concierge team delivered great service as well. Tank and other staff were responsive to our questions and gave us fantastic local tips. Housekeeping performed wonderfully too. They observed we liked using extra towels to avoid wet floors and thoughtfully provided spares without being requested. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay."
