2-Star Hotels in Xi'an

I booked this place because I wanted to get an early start to Terracotta Warriors the next day, and it's incredibly close – literally a 2-minute walk to the ticket office! The guesthouse has a lovely atmosphere. The owner sacrificed some room space to create a small courtyard, which is a shame because it was raining when we stayed, otherwise, sitting out there would have been so pleasant. Breakfast was freshly cooked by the owner – stir-fried dishes, steamed buns, and millet porridge. The scrambled eggs with chives and shredded potatoes were especially delicious! The room was very clean. The only downside was a strange odor coming from the toilet in the evening, but since we were only staying one night, I didn't bother asking to switch rooms. Oddly enough, it was gone by the next morning, so I'm not sure what that was about. It happened to be the Dragon Boat Festival, and when we left the next day, the proprietress even gave two sachets to my child. If you're in a hurry to get to the Terracotta Warriors like I was, you should definitely consider staying here.

“Excellent location, well-equipped facilities, and thoughtful service!” I spent 4 days and 3 nights in Xi'an, and my stay was incredibly satisfying! The guesthouse's location is unbeatable – it's super close to the Bell and Drum Towers, Yongning Gate, Shuyuan Gate, and the Xi'an City Wall. There are bus stops and subway entrances within walking distance, and plenty of shared bikes downstairs, making it convenient to get anywhere. You can cycle a few minutes to the Dongcangmen morning market to experience an authentic Xi'an breakfast. Next door are Xi'an SKP and Wangfujing, perfect for shopping, and SKP's fourth floor even has a tech art installation worth checking out. In the evenings, there are street singers at Hopson One, creating a fantastic atmosphere. Plus, there are breakfast and late-night food stalls right downstairs, so you'll never go hungry. The room's air conditioning was powerful, and the heating was very good. The room was completely odorless and spotless. Both the owner and the cleaning lady were incredibly warm and easy to communicate with. The disposable amenities were very complete, and you could even get complimentary bottled water – excellent attention to detail. I highly recommend this guesthouse; I'll definitely choose it again on my next visit to Xi'an!

Our stay at this hotel was incredibly comfortable, and overall, it was a great experience. The rooms are spacious, and the facilities are well-equipped. It's conveniently located with easy access to transportation, and the hygiene is top-notch – everything was clean and tidy. The best part is its proximity to the Terracotta Army Museum; you can easily walk there. Plus, free parking is a bonus, and the staff were all very kind and helpful.

This hostel is a repeat purchase for me, and every stay has been consistently great. The staff's service is as attentive as ever; luggage storage and borrowing essentials are always available upon request. The hygiene standards remain high, with no dirty corners, and the bathrooms are always kept dry. The atmosphere inside is quiet and comfortable, the neighborhood vibe is harmonious, and the location is easy to find with convenient access to public transport for transfers. It's my go-to place to stay whenever I travel.

My first time trying this place, and I thought it was great! I booked the cheapest room, which I think was a 16-person dorm, but the front desk lady upgraded me to a 12-person one. I even extended my stay for another night. The environment inside is quite peaceful. Everyone in the common areas is pretty respectful, except for a few loud shouts during billiards sometimes! Oh, and there were a lot of foreigners, couples mostly, chatting among themselves – it had a nice vibe. Since it was my first time, I wasn't familiar with everything and didn't prepare toiletries. When I went to shower, I even saw two guys coming out of the same stall, which honestly stunned me a bit. However, the privacy in the restrooms and shower rooms is excellent; they're all enclosed. The hot water comes on quickly, the water pressure is strong, and everything is clean. Everyone seemed pretty well-behaved. I mostly kept to myself, though, and didn't really interact with anyone. At one point, a foreigner asked me in English if he could use a stool. I honestly didn't understand anything he said, but I got his meaning and just waved my hand. He must have thought I was refusing him because he started to leave. I was so flustered I couldn't speak, just waving my hands around like fans, trying to convey my meaning. He must have seen my panic and understood, so he moved the stool. Only then could I relax and continue drinking my hot water alone. (I saw the front desk staff, both a guy and a lady, speaking English with the foreigners, and I was so envious! Ugh, I can only read English; I can't understand or speak it. I really need to practice my listening and speaking skills. I'll try my luck again next time.) Overall, I think it's a pretty good place. Oh, and its location is fantastic, right by the Bell Tower. But make sure you exit the correct subway station, or else a directionally challenged person like me will spend almost an hour wandering around trying to find it!

The wonderful service started even before we booked the hotel. We got their wechat contact from Trip.com and enquired 1,001 questions. Mostly unrelated to the hotel), but all our queries were patiently and clearly answered. We decided to book the hotel due to its wonderful location. A day before we are scheduled to arrive, we were given the exact location (best if use A-map) and clear instructions on how to get to the hotel & our room. As our flight landed after midnight at Xi'an Xianyang International Airport, the Silver Shop will be closed & we have to use the back door. As pampered city dwellers, the place will look a bit worn out & run-down. However, their impeccable service & warm hospitality covers whatever flaws there might be. For example, it is really cold in January. The air conditioner wasn't enough for us. They gave us an extra portable one. We went to Huashan for three days, leaving the room empty. The lady boss ensured us the room will be safe to leave our things & wished us a safe journey. She took note of when we were supposed to be back in Xi'an, even when she herself was in the flight back to her own hometown. During our almost two weeks stay there, one day my husband fell ill and we had to stay in. I had trouble trying to order food online. The lady boss got her manager to come to our room and order food for us. Even though the manager can't speak English, he managed to help us. The lady boss is very fluent in English. Be it in text messaging or conversing. We find that a relief because usually we get lost in translation due to us not being able to speak or read Mandarin. We can understand bits and pieces, but we are not able to fully understand it. We were in Xi'an in Jan 2025. We were back again in Jan 2026. We plan to be back again in Jan 2027. If there is a vacancy, we want to stay here again. It snowed this year & we had fun playing with snow on the terrace. The location is wonderful. In the heart of Muslim Quarters. 2 minutes walk to Great Mosque, 10 minutes walk to Drum Tower. Between me and my husband, the feeling is mutual. We recommend this place. No matter how run down. The location, the service, the washing machine on 6th floor with a wonderful sunset view, the terrace, the big drafty room. All these things makes us feel heavy leaving Xi'an.

The homestay we stayed in this time really exceeded our expectations! Opposite is the Daming Palace Ruins Park, with a superior location and prosperous business. It is close to the subway entrance and a few stops away from the Bell Tower and the Tang Dynasty City that Never Sleeps, which is more convenient than driving. Nearby is the lively night market street of Wanda Plaza, which is very convenient for eating and shopping. The community is of high quality, the lobby is luxurious and atmospheric, the rooms are spacious and bright, with a light luxury style and exquisite design. The large flat with four bedrooms, two living rooms and three bathrooms is very practical and can accommodate our group of 9 people! It is also equipped with a fully automatic mahjong machine, which added a lot of fun to our leisure time. It was as warm and comfortable as at home, and it was a very pleasant travel experience.

Only smaller room has access to lift 🛗 bigger room is on different building and NO lift 🛗 At 12pm exactly I walk inside the hallway, to their receptionist for check in (normal check in was at 2pm actually, I missed that time frame). I have expected that my room will have no lift, but thank goodness when the receptionist opening the door behind the counter I saw a lift and I asked about it. He told me that not all room have access to it, and mine specifically is on different building with stairs, and I’m on the fifth floor with balcony 🫣 He kindly asked us whether we want to change our room and he also invite us to show each room available for the lift and for the other building, oh my gosh, I cannot tell you how struggling it was to climb to the fifth floor, we only managed to the 4th one to see the room, and gave up. We chose room 5003 as it has a large windows with unobstructed view, albeit a bit smaller than what we ordered, but the lift access make it worth it. And also if you’re on a heavier side like I am and not used to walk a lot, just bare in mind, didi are not allowed on this street, they’re motorcycles you can pay to sent you inside, but the price varies. We also only used the bicycle until their park station and has to walk inside the street another 500m +- I tried to used taobao but my item kept on failing to deliver 😭 but thank god I can return and refund all of them. All in all this has taught me a lesson to choose hotel that didi can drive literally up until the front entrance of the hotel. I’m not build to walk a lot 😭 and literally carrying 5kg of rice in my bagpack too along with how many litres of drinks. But the hotel is nice, they treat us well, and very whenever I WeChat they will make sure to reply promptly. The cleanliness can be improved, and the amenities are a little bit outdated. There’s foreign hairs from mopping I think, so we just wipe the floors with clean towel again.

I can't believe how comfortable this accommodation is! First off, it's right next to the street in front of the train station, as shown in picture 1. The entire building is the hotel. Each room is a separate unit, and the hallways are spacious and bright. My room shares a large bathroom with another room, which is very convenient. The room itself is huge and has everything you need. The Wi-Fi connected instantly and never dropped. As for the price, it's incredibly cheap, as long as it's not a holiday or a weekend. There are plenty of food options and fruit stores nearby, and there's a bus stop right outside, making it easy to get anywhere. I absolutely love this comfortable, quiet, and spacious place!

The basic room with no air conditioner included - I paid more in arrival to get a room with one. The toilet was dirty (shared toilet). Although the room was large for it price and the service was good they helped me with every question I had.
