Top Xi'an Hotel Reviews

Hilton Xi'an City Wall

10/10 Excellent

"Very good location within Xi'an City Wall area. Good options for breakfast and Happy Hour at the bar was also very useful. We had an excellent stay here. The staff were very helpful."

Sofitel Xian on Renmin Square

8/10 Good

"Convenient location. Concierge staff were very helpful. Excellent breakfast."

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."

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."
