I visited Xian during the student demonstrations against the Chinese/Japanese island despute in Sept. 2012. Unfortunately, the walls were closed off to citizens; and although a lovely city, I spent more time in the hostel than I had wished. However, my single room with bathroom was more than adequate and the restaurant, lounge area was great place to spend the... More

Pros: + An absolutely beautiful, stereotypically Chinese building. + Free beer or coffee on arrival. + Access to 4 PCs. Cons: - The toilets and showers are at opposite ends of the floors and the showers aren't the best. - Wifi is only available in reception and the bar/restaurant where, unfortunately, smoking is permitted. - We had problems with our...

I found this hostel on hotel.com and instantly like it because of its old structure and decorations. It gives you an idea of what old big household is like years back in China. Not to mention also that it is very good value for money. We picked a double room with toilet attached. It is an acceptable room, maybe could... More

We had private rooms on the 3rd floor with ensuites - the rooms were excellent but be ware - water covers the whole floor when you shower and pools around the toilet and vanity before gradually draining away so don't leave clothes on the floor! There are washing machines to use for 9 CNY in the laundry. Wi-fi only downstairs... More

This was a great place to stay. It is located in the south of the city, if your coming from the train station (in the north) should only cost about 12rmb in a meter taxi. It is only a 10 min walk or so to the bell tower and drum tower. The interior of the hostel is lovely feels very... More

I would recommend anyone visit this hostel if only to stay in the building. You will never get this experience anywhere else. Stay here if only for one day, it should be listed as one of the attractions of Xian. However, it has to be said we arrived very late after a very long train journey and they had given... More

Arrived in Xi'an very early in the morning by train and was collected in the hostel minibus, which took us back (free of charge!). The hostel is on the opposite side of the old city to the train station but in a great location - it is right next to the city walls and a few minutes walk to the... More

Great atmospheric hostel with covered courtyard restaurant and nice comfortable rooms. Bathrooms are basic and slightly mouldy, shower pressure is bad but probably because bathroom is a wet room. beds are okay and decor is nice. Food is reasonable but not great in the restaurant, they offer a lot of western choices that are tasty enough if you like American... More

Most hotel/hostel rooms have either good location, or cheap rooms or good service. Seldom do we get a combination of all of these. I am glad to have one that fulfilled all these criteria in XiangZiMen (XZM). Right from the start, we were picked up free from the train station to the hostel for free by a staff member Mia.... More
