Top Xi’an City Center Hotel Reviews

Sofitel Legend People's Grand Hotel Xian

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast very good Nice staffing Very clean room"

Lavande Hotel - Xi'an Bell Tower Flagshi

10/10 Excellent

"We booked two rooms. One of the rooms was a king size bed with a window. It is a warehouse when opening the window. It should be noticed while booking the room. Overall, the room is clean and the staff is friendly. Many restaurants are near the hotel. It is very close to metro-subway."

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."

Rongzhen International Hotel - Zhonglou Drum Tower Branch

10/10 Excellent

"The reason why we picked this hotel was due to the location and it did not fail. This hotel is located conveniently near restaurants and the Muslim quarters. The staff at the hotel was very professional and kind, even with the language barrier. We used a translator app with no issues. We picked a two bed room and we were given the room with a kids play area (traveling with no kids). We didn’t mind at all. We cared about the space and the cleanliness. Which this hotel was perfect for that. The mattress comfort was ideal for us and the amenities were also a plus. They had a very spacious laundry area with 6 washers and 6 dryers machines. And they provide laundry detergent as well. The gym was extremely basic, functional machines, no dumbbells, one treadmill, one rower. Nothing fancy. We didn’t get a chance to experience the buffet food. Would recommend this hotel."
