I think the hotel must invest in renovation if he wants to have more clients and offer a better service.There was no lift, the receptionist was quiet, unconfident and spoke litte English . We have the Wi-Fi in the bedroom . the bar... More

After a horrible experience at a more decorated hostel, I went to the Bell Tower Hostel just because I knew where it was (popular location), it is a diamond in the rough. Yes, the hallway carpets are old and some of the room fixtures, but it's 80 year old elegance is wonderful and the view out my 4th floor window... More

There was no lift, the receptionist was quiet, unconfident and spoke litte English and the Wi-Fi was only available in reception or the bar next door which was filthy and stuck of smoke. Dingy doesnt come close. At Y140... More

The location is excellent, right in the centre of Xian. It was a great place to meet people and party. The staff took us to a local club/bar and helped us have fun.

staff was very helpful, as long as you have the patience and wear a smile, I saw other guests having conflicts, but generally they expected Western standards in a country that is 3rd world, never mind the glitzy shopping malls. The hostel was very basic in an old post office building, with a NOISY bar, but you can walk to... More

We stayed there for 2 nights. The hostel is good for trips in the city because you can walk. The hostel is a typical hostel with walls used as guestbook, dirty and spitting people. Our room was big with 4 beds. Our own bathroom was in our room seperated by a glass wall.. so there was a stinky smell in... More

We had a bit of trouble finding the place as the entrance is just a narrow hallway on a huge building. The first impression is not the best, the stairway is huge, dirty, with thousands and thousands of cigarette marks. The walls are all written on by the very many guests the place has had. After we finally found the... More

The bell tower hostel is a pretty cool place. The location couldnt be better, right in the centre of town. The bar was always busy (with a lot of locals) and there was a good vibe in general. The room was large and relatively clean and the shower fine. All in all however the hostel felt a bit worn and... More

This was a great place for the price. I transferred from a much pricier hotel across the circle. Single room on the 5th floor was much better than expected, the furniture had a colorful pop-art feel to it. TV worked alright, but of course no English stations! Surprised it had AC! The flights of stairs were a killer, the elevator... More
