Hotels with Bars in Xi'an

Dear Housekeeping Department of HUAQING YUTANG Hotel and all the wonderful staff who have taken such meticulous care of us: Greetings and blessings to you all! As international visitors from Russia, my son and I had the privilege of checking into your esteemed establishment today. As I sit in this room, imbued with an undeniable oriental charm, my heart is filled not only with inexpressible emotion but also with profound awe. Walking through your property feels like stepping into a magnificent Tang Dynasty painting that has been passed down through a thousand years – truly, 'every step is a beautiful scene, every corner is a wonder'! Each pavilion, every bridge and flowing stream is breathtakingly beautiful, leaving us spellbound and enchanted. The joy and pleasure we feel within are simply beyond words. Your hotel's exceptional service, transcending perfection, combined with these exquisite imperial gardens, has utterly captivated us and made our dream of experiencing Chinese culture come true! As a professional tea ceremony artist in Russia dedicated to spreading oriental tea culture, seeing the exquisitely prepared tea set in the room immediately filled my heart with warmth. While I typically use traditional wooden tea trays, I was genuinely amazed to find that your room was equipped with a remarkably beautiful and incredibly rare metal (iron) miniature tea tray! I have never seen such an ingeniously crafted material in Russia. This metal tea tray is perfect for brewing tea; there's no need to worry about it cracking or deforming from prolonged tea soaking, as wooden trays often do. The user experience is incredibly comfortable and elegant. Moreover, its size is designed with exceptional precision, perfectly accommodating two precious pairs of tea cups (including tasting cups and aroma-sniffing cups). To be able to personally brew a pot of fragrant tea with such a sophisticated tea set, which combines modern practicality with classical grandeur, after a tiring journey, truly touched the soul of an international tea connoisseur with your utmost respect for the details of tea ceremony and your impeccable taste. What moved our entire family even more deeply and will remain unforgettable are the unparalleled human touches and care you all provided in every small detail: 1. What truly astonished and delighted us was that your hotel meticulously selected and reserved prime, central VIP seats for us to watch 'The Song of Everlasting Sorrow' live Tang Dynasty dance drama! Our seats were perfectly aligned with the central axis of the stage, offering a grand and unobstructed view. Tonight, we were able to fully appreciate the awe and romance of this magnificent spectacle from the most perfect and esteemed vantage point. Our hearts were stirred for a long time afterward; it was an unparalleled artistic enjoyment! 2. Upon hearing that my son's sunglasses were accidentally damaged, your team not only showed no hesitation but proactively and incredibly patiently helped him repair them with glue. The summer sun in Xi'an is scorching, and my son is extremely sensitive to light. What you repaired with your own hands was not just a pair of glasses, but you saved his most beautiful, clear memories of this ancient city! 3. Whether it was my request for ice or any other small request, all the staff members responded perfectly every single time with the quickest speed and the most gentle, respectful smiles. 4. When we returned to our room, a little tired after a fulfilling day of intangible cultural heritage experiences, we were greeted by a steaming hot, incredibly delicious bowl of white mushroom imperial porridge. At that moment, a warmth transcending borders struck our hearts, and the fatigue of the journey instantly vanished, replaced by a heart full of warmth. Today, we had the privilege of experiencing two flowing and profoundly rich intangible cultural heritage master classes, truly fulfilling my son's and my dream of experiencing Tang Dynasty culture. Please accept our sincerest and highest gratitude as mother and son! Upon returning to Russia, I will certainly recommend our beautiful photos from HUAQING YUTANG and this dreamlike experience with the utmost praise to all our friends and family. I will also write the most glowing review on international travel platforms.

My overall experience during this stay was quite good. Upon check-in, I was assigned a low-floor room. On the first night, I noticed the air conditioning wasn't cooling effectively, so I reported the issue to the hotel. The staff responded very quickly and efficiently arranged an upgrade to a high-floor room. The service staff were warm and attentive. They followed up proactively multiple times to inquire about my stay and the quality of service, showing great attention to detail. This is an older five-star hotel, so the hardware facilities are a bit dated, and some equipment might have minor issues, but it's well-maintained and clean. Overall, the hotel's location is convenient, and the excellent service compensated for the older facilities. It offers great value for money, suitable for both business and leisure travelers. It would be even better if the hardware facilities were updated in the future. I definitely recommend it.

## Transportation The biggest takeaway from staying here is how convenient it is to get around! The hotel is right in the heart of the ancient city, just a few minutes' walk from the Bell Tower, Drum Tower, and Muslim Quarter. It's also very close to Zhonglou Station for Metro Lines 2 and 6, and there are plenty of bus stops right outside. Getting to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda or the Grand Tang Everbright City by taxi only costs about ten yuan. Plus, the hotel offers a free airport shuttle service, which is a huge bonus! ## Soundproofing and Comfort I had a very peaceful stay this time. Initially, I was worried it might be noisy at night being in the city center, but the soundproofing is surprisingly good – I slept like a baby. The room type I booked was very spacious, and the floor-to-ceiling windows made it feel bright and airy. The mattress was just right, not too soft and not too firm, and they even use deep sleep memory foam pillows. Overall, it was very quiet and comfortable; I wasn't disturbed by any outside noise at all. ## Service and Facilities Both the front desk staff and the housekeeping aunties were incredibly warm and patient. The room had a dry/wet separation in the bathroom, and the cleaning was very thorough. What's more, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the hotel provides a laundry room and robot delivery service. There's even free chilled plum juice in the lobby – they really pay attention to the little details.

Very satisfied! Facilities: All the fixtures are brand new. The shower pressure is great and very comfortable. There's no old or worn-out feeling as some negative reviews mentioned, only understated luxury. Cleanliness: It's cleaned very well every day, and they even noticed we had a child and thoughtfully left two extra bottles of water, which was very attentive and considerate. Ambiance: The antique-style decor is in keeping with the age of the hotel, and both the kids and elders really enjoyed this style. Since we're in a thousand-year-old capital, of course, we want to stay in a hotel with historical charm! There's a bronze carriage in the lobby and Tang Sancai pottery in the room, giving a feeling of traveling back 5000 years. My child even said our hotel is like a museum! Service: From check-in to check-out, every staff member we encountered was smiling and had an excellent attitude.

The hotel staff were attentive and meticulous; communication via WeChat was smooth whenever we had questions or requests. The breakfast, delivered to our room in a charming, antique-style two-tiered wooden box, was a particular highlight, and the 'saorou' noodles were quite memorable. The high-altitude pool and the Clock Tower viewing platform offer unique perspectives of the ancient city. The overall ambiance of the hotel is relaxed and distinctive, and the parting gift was a delightful touch.

The beds are really comfortable, and the breakfast was thoughtfully prepared. They also offer Hanfu (traditional Chinese clothing) experiences. It's so convenient to just walk back and go to sleep after watching the 'Song of Everlasting Sorrow' show at night.

I strongly recommend this hotel located on Huimin Street near Bell Tower in Xi'an! The location is exceptional, walking distance to the Bell Tower, Muslim Quarter and the City wall making getting around very convenient. It is suitable for first time visitors to Xi’an. The hotel is impeccably clean, tidy and modern. The staff are warm and considerate, work efficiently, and respond quickly to needs. We felt very well looked after knowing we could contact hotel staff personally on WeChat if we needed anything. Yoyo even gave us the addresses of some watch repair places and she wasn’t on shift at the time. She also saw us outside and came to greet us and helped with our luggage before we had even set foot inside when we came to check in and this was after midnight! The room is quiet and comfortable, and you can find tranquility from the hustle and bustle. The breakfast was very nice with both western and Chinese choices. The Nespresso machine in the room and the capsules provided each day were enjoyed. The relaxing tea area in the room was a great place to sit and watch the bustling street from a distance. We asked for additional bottled water each day and it was never a problem. The overall experience of staying here is very pleasant, and it is the first choice for tourists visiting Xi'an. There was nothing that could have been improved!

The location is excellent, offering a quiet retreat in a bustling area. Downstairs, near Zhonglou Community, there are many popular online shops, including a multi-concept noodle shop and a mung bean cake store. On the roadside in front of Zhonglou Community, there's a place selling spicy soup and beef pancakes for breakfast, which tasted great. The hotel's coffee is quite good, but the breakfast selection was limited with not much fresh pastry or other options, only the egg fried rice was decent. The bathroom lighting is too bright; it needs a softer option. The two upward-facing spotlights by the bedside tables are a nice design, but they're not very practical as it's easy to hit your hand when turning them on or off at night. Overall, Jinjiang's brands pay attention to details, and the toiletries and disposable teacups all come individually packaged, which is good. Xi Dajie (West Street) is just a few minutes' walk away, perfect for a stroll after 11:00 PM to enjoy the cool air.

This stay exceeded my expectations! The room was spacious and bright, and the cleanliness was impeccable, right down to the odor-free bathroom with plenty of stable hot water. Both the front desk and housekeeping staff were incredibly attentive and accommodating, always happy to help with a kind attitude. The surrounding area has convenient options for dining and transportation. I slept really well, and I highly recommend this place!

Arriving weary and tired to be welcomed by lively, friendly locals having drinks by the roof terrace pool. This is not the welcome I expected to Xi’an at all! But it was very fun. The hotel is clean, the staff are friendly and helpful, going out of their way to ensure I understood what was going on, and striving to make adjustments to my booking details where necessary. The distance from the centre means much less traffic when travelling to and from the station or other sites - making the location very convenient. The food and drinks by the roof terrace have a very wide selection, which is all delicious and comes with great service. I would definitely stay again.
