The name Sofitel brings the expectation of wonderful luxury. In some ways, this hotel in Xi'an meets this, but the room I had was tiny...with the king bed and desk, it was difficult walking around the bed. The bath area is spacious, but the 3 components (sink, shower, toilet) were separated by clear glass doors. Not a problem if you're... More

It unfortunately started off a bit bad when the receptionist very convingly told me that she could not find my reservation but instead would place me in the Mercure hotel (next door and also part of the Accor group). All this despite the fact the room was booked via the Sofitel homepage and I handed over a printout with reservation... More

We stayed at the Sofitel Xi'an for three nights in early May. We had a room on the fifth floor in the West Tower. The room was beautifully designed and spacious (curved walls, floating ceiling, light wood paneling). The bathroom had a soaker tub, a large shower and separate room for the toilet. The bed was the best of all... More

The hotel is located close to bell tower ( you can walk in 10-15 mins). The rooms are comfortable with new furnishings. The hotel staff is helpful. More

The location is great for walking access to most old city sights and the staff were very very helpful and organised cars and drivers for out of town sights and transfers,... More

(For comparison purposes, we also stayed at the Aman at Summer Palace in Beijing; the Shangri-la Guilin; the Banyan Tree Lijiang; the Songtsam Retreat in Zhongdian/Shangri-la; the St. Regis Lhasa; and the Peninsula Shanghai.) For one night,... More

The best $126 room I've ever had. Three nights in Xi'an is a minimum, this city has so much to offer and I loved it all. I booked from the Softitel website and was upgraded upon check in. More

Excellent hotel, very clean and nice people. Location was great, right in middle of the old walled in city. We like walking and were able to walk to places like Bell Tower and Drum Tower. Only slight neg was no convienmce store nearby (that we noticed) for snacks etc. More
