Jingxin Hotel

Jingxin Hotel ★★★

📍 4th Floor, Tower B, Jinzhong Building, No. 2 North Street, Xincheng District, Xi'an

"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."

"The hotel's location is great, super convenient for taking the subway or a taxi. Everything about it is excellent, really good value for money! The staff are enthusiastic and lively, providing fantastic service. They really understand what young people are looking for. Not only do they patiently answer all your questions, but they also proactively recommend sightseeing and dining routes, making you feel as comfortable as if you were with friends. The travel package I booked also had no complicated procedures, making the whole trip easy and relaxed. Downstairs from the hotel, there are BBQ spots, local specialty snacks, and even trendy网红 (wanghong/influencer-style) shops, all just a few minutes' walk away.

Jinjiang · Xi'an Bell Tower Original Copy Hotel
9.5 (5,388 reviews)

Jinjiang · Xi'an Bell Tower Original Copy Hotel ★★★★

📍 1st Floor, Unit 1, Tower A, Jinzhong Building, No. 290 West 1st Road, Xincheng District, Xi'an

"The room was very clean, and the bedding was super comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful, and the hotel is very close to the Bell Tower."

Sky Garden Rooftop Social Hostel | Steps to Bell Tower & Food St (24H & English-Friendly)
9.5 (2,428 reviews)

Sky Garden Rooftop Social Hostel | Steps to Bell Tower & Food St (24H & English-Friendly) ★★

📍 Inside the Lane, No. 84, Dapiyuan, Lianhu District, Xi'an

"I truly think this is a very good hostel. They thought about everything, from solid quality bunks with light blocking curtains and private lights and electricity plugs, to towels and toothbrushes. Got an upgrade to a 4-bed dorm, which was very much appreciated, although it's in reality an 8-bed with a wall in the middle, but spaces and facilities shared. Still quiet enough for proper sleep. Wouldn't call it an "English speaking" hostel in the title, as Google Translate is needed, but that's not a problem, used to that in China. Staff is very friendly and helpful, that's what counts. I was worried about the location first (unlike most travelers I don't like to be downtown, I prefer peace and quiet), but it's far enough tucked away in an alley that you don't hear the street noise. Really cool roof terrace with good views. Shop with drinks and snacks for friendly prices. Unlike anywhere in China, they don't allow shoes inside, so it's relatively clean. Relatively, as the cleaning lady came in daily to clean the bathrooms, but she didn't clean the floors properly so with 8 girls it was covered in hairs. That said, the beds and other spaces were very clean. Airconditioning WITH remote (unlike in other hostels, where you have no control over it and they always put it too warm). Elevator. Wifi and my own data didn't work well here, but that's a common problem in China, especially when using VPN."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Xi'an Bell and Drum Towers Dachaishi Metro Station
9.5 (1,973 reviews)

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Xi'an Bell and Drum Towers Dachaishi Metro Station ★★★★

📍 4th Floor, Unit 1, Building 1, Dongmen Meibo City, No. 1 East Street, Beilin District, Xi'an

"A very warm and inviting hotel with beautiful surroundings. It's right across from the city wall, and sitting on the terrace in the evening, enjoying the ancient vibes while gazing at the wall, felt like I was transported back to the Tang Dynasty! The service was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely a highly recommended hotel! My kids had a fantastic time too!"

Merlinhod Hotel (Xi'an Bell and Drum Tower Huimin Street) ★★★★

9.4 (2,481 reviews)

Mika Oriental Xi'an Bell & Drum Tower Huimin Street Branch ★★★★

📍 4th Floor, No. 18 Fen Lane, Beilin District, Xi'an

"The hotel's location is excellent, making it convenient to get anywhere. The tatami design is also unique and quite beautiful. As for hygiene, it's impeccably clean, which is great. The service was also very good, with a great attitude from the staff."

The hotel service is outstanding; they were very responsive to all our requests and resolved them quickly. They even thoughtfully gifted us a lovely small ornament.

"The room was large and clean, with great soundproofing and smart facilities like a bidet and an 'Xiao Du' smart assistant. The power was on directly upon check-in, which was convenient. The service was excellent, and free parking was available, along with a complimentary experience. The only downside is that it's a bit further from the subway station than marked, so it might be tough with luggage – I'd recommend a taxi. However, it's very close to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Grand Tang Everbright City!"

Jinjiang · Xi'an Bell Tower Original Copy Hotel ★★★★
"Found a gem of a hotel for my Xi'an trip! The Bell Tower Original Tracing Hotel's location is absolutely unbeatable. It's super close to the subway station, just a few minutes' walk, making getting around by metro incredibly convenient. You can also walk directly to the Bell Tower and Drum Tower in no time, saving a lot of effort when you go out at night to see the illuminated sights and explore the Muslim Quarter. The room's cleanliness was exceptional; the floor and tables were spotless, and the bathroom had no odors and the vanity area was very tidy. The hotel facilities are very new and well-maintained. The mattress was just right—not too soft, not too hard—ensuring maximum comfort for resting. All the essential amenities were provided. The hotel environment overall is quiet and not noisy. The front desk staff were quick with check-in and very friendly. Transportation, hygiene, and hardware are all top-notch, offering great value for money for travelers. It's highly suitable for tourists, and I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit to Xi'an. Highly recommended!"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Xi'an Bell and Drum Towers Dachaishi Metro Station ★★★★
"Definitely a five-star recommendation! The biggest reason is its super close proximity to the city wall – just a few minutes' walk to the entrance. It's so convenient to go for a morning stroll on the wall to catch the sunrise, or an evening walk to enjoy the night view, saving you the hassle of taxi fares. The room was also spotlessly clean, and the soundproofing was quite good. Anyway, after a day of sightseeing, you can come back and get a good rest. The front desk staff were also very friendly, and check-in was efficient. Staying here while visiting Xi'an is truly stress-free. I'll definitely choose this place again next time!"
