2-Star Hotels in Xi'an

“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!

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!

Overall, my stay at this hotel was great. The location is excellent, making it super convenient for getting around. Check-in at the front desk was quick, and the staff were very friendly. My room was clean and tidy, the bedding was comfortable, and the soundproofing was good. Plus, there was plenty of hot water. The common areas were clean and fresh, and the facilities were well-maintained. Definitely good value for money. There were no hidden costs, which made for a very pleasant stay. It's my top choice for accommodation when traveling and I highly recommend it.

This hostel is located right next to Xi'an Sports Park, and it's a short 15-minute bike ride (on a shared bike) to attractions like the Bell Tower and SEG Shopping Center. Plus, the airport shuttle bus stop at Xi'an Hotel is only a five-minute walk away, which is super convenient if you have an early flight. The hostel itself has a great vibe, and everyone does a good job of keeping the common areas tidy. Compared to other hostels I've stayed in, this one is excellent. It's a fantastic choice for budget travelers doing a quick day trip or young people catching an early flight out of Xi'an.

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.

My stay is on the 15th floor with a mini window and a very comfortable bed. They have separate wash from for bath and toilet , while the wash place is outside the toilet. Check out time given was up to 2pm. Convenient and near to metro station within 5 minute walk. Just the floor is an old style make it feel dirty but is clean .

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!

This stay was excellent. The room was clean and tidy, the location was convenient, and it was great value for money. The landlady was very welcoming and patiently explained the local transportation and attractions to me, and she was very helpful. As a Japanese tourist traveling alone, I felt very comfortable staying here. I would definitely consider staying here again next time I'm in Zhangye. Highly recommended!
