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!

The hotel is set in a beautiful location, and I stayed for three nights. The staff were friendly, and the service was generally pleasant. However, given that it carries the Sofitel Legend brand, the condition of the rooms was disappointing and fell short of expectations. Upon check-in, I inspected the bathroom and reported finding hair in both the bathtub and shower. While housekeeping attended and cleaned the bathtub, the shower was overlooked—the same strands of hair remained afterward, which was concerning. There were also visible signs of water leakage on the walls, and some of the light strips were not functioning and appeared to be awaiting replacement. The bathroom lighting was inconsistent, with three different colour temperatures. The vanity mirror was tinted, making it impractical to use; I had to use the decorative border to see myself properly. Considering the hotel’s premium pricing and brand positioning, I would have expected a much higher standard of maintenance and attention to detail.
