Don't do tours. These guys are not pushy but still don't be fooled into it. Go into the bus station towards the end of the train station and get a 8 quai bus to the warriors and see them in your own time. Why rush through something most people don't even get to see once in their lifetime? On to... More

My husband and I stayed in this hostel for 2 nights. We booked a double room for 180 RMB per night. The room was a little small, with a mattress on the floor, but overall ok. It was clean, with towels provided. We loved the shower, with warm water and a good stream. The hostel is located in a traditional... More

It's a lovely place, but I felt a little taken for a fool. They charge 50 yen for do it yourself laundry, which is about double the cost of someone else doing it and returning it to you dry! The terracotta army tour was my main problem with the place. They recommended a tour that took seven hours out of... More

This Hostel was just lovely - quiet despite its proximity to main roads and railway station. It is a traditional row house community that can trace its origins to the Tang Dynasty (618 AD) and was at one stage a command post for one of the red army troops. Our room was spacious and very comfortable; it was great having... More

I was a little hesitant since it was a hostel but it is really more like a well mananged 3-star boutique hotel. We stayed, a family of four, in a private room with our own shower, toilet, flatscreen TV etc. The hostel is a nice place to hang around after a full day of sightseing, with restaurant, bar, snooker table...

Forget the word YOUTH hostel. Half the people there are like us over 50. This place was excellent. Clean, comfortable and fun. Staff were great spoke good English and put us on to the best tours. We went for the Terracotta Warriors of course but the highlight of our stay was the all you could eat dumpling dinner at the... More

The staff in this fantastic histel was very helpfull. We were totally lost and they came over to pick us up! The room was awesome, with a great hot rainshower! Nice restaurant, but cold, like most places in China during winter. Their western menu is a bit doubtful. They had not a clear understanding of the menu. A black coffee... More

Upon arrival the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, with most speaking English quite well. The courtyard was beautiful and very serene with an authentic Chinese "feng shui" feel, and the common area very cosy as well. The double room was neat, the beds comfy but it got quite cold at night, and we found it difficult to use the... More

The location of this hostel is adequate. We walked all around Xi'an and didn't use public transport and so in my book that makes this hostel absolutely fine for exploring the city. The hostel itself was really beautiful, clean and the staff were helpful. The trip organised by the hostel to see the Terracotta Warriors was poor as the tour... More
