Hostels in Shaanxi, China

This hostel has an amazing location! There are several highly-rated restaurants from Dazhong Dianping's must-eat list within 1km. If you're coming to Xi'an for noodles, like me, you absolutely have to choose this place, haha! It's also very clean, and they ask you to change into slippers when you enter. This is the first time I've encountered a hostel that's both affordable and has strict rules (like no smoking, they have a dedicated smoking room). There's an elevator inside the hostel, but you still have to climb a small flight of stairs. The four-person room has eight people sharing two bathrooms. The only minor drawback is that both are Western-style toilets; it would be perfect if one was a squat toilet to accommodate different preferences. It's located in Dapi Lane, basically inside the Muslim Quarter, surrounded by delicious food. The downside to this is that shared bikes aren't allowed to park inside the alley; you have to find a parking spot at the alley entrance. So, no matter if you're taking a taxi or a shared bike, you'll have to walk a bit, but it's only a few hundred meters, so not too far. I truly recommend this hostel. I'm currently staying at a hostel in another city and constantly missing the facilities and strict rules of this one 😢

What an amazing facility. It’s so clean and festive. The common area is spacious and a perfect setting to enjoy/relax. I appreciated the soft and large towels provided unlike other hostels that only provide disposable towels. The bed was comfortable - I only wish the other guests would respect the quiet time after 11pm. I wasn’t expecting to hear Flo Rida playing out loud in my room. But besides this, I truly enjoyed my time here. The location is excellent, with views of the Bell Tower and right next to the Zhonglue metro station (Line 2/6 - exit A). I highly recommend this hostel if you’re looking for a great deal and a CLEAN facility!

The hotel's location is pretty good, but there's an underpass that can easily lead you in the wrong direction towards the Bell Tower. It's next to a mall with an elevator. I'd recommend checking in during the day, as it might be hard to spot the entrance in the dark morning. The service is very thoughtful and quiet, and the bedding is clean. The only downside is the trash bin in the bathroom, which was overflowing with trash. The cleaning staff only tidied up once, and unfortunately, many guests aren't considerate. Also, the toilet and shower area are quite small; larger individuals might find it difficult to turn around. The outdoor lounge area is nice, spacious, and perfect for some quiet solo time. The hotel also offers free umbrellas for guests to borrow. Overall, it's great value for money.

The owner was very kind and had a great attitude. However, the facilities are a bit old, probably because it's been open for a few years. The room was a bit cold, but there was an electric blanket, so it was fine once I was in bed. The price was cheap though, so it wasn't a big deal, and the location was excellent.

I absolutely loved this hostel! The location is super convenient, just a few minutes' walk to the subway station, and surrounded by snack shops and convenience stores. The rooms were clean and tidy, the bedding was soft and odor-free, the common areas were spacious and comfortable, and the living room and kitchen were fully equipped. It was so much fun chatting with fellow travelers from all over the world! The owner was warm and helpful, giving us tons of local travel tips and even helping us store our luggage. The value for money is incredible; I'll definitely stay here again next time. I've already recommended it to friends, and it's definitely worth coming back again and again!

The hotel environment is absolutely fantastic – clean, tidy, and wonderfully quiet. The overall decor is cozy yet stylish, making for a truly comfortable stay. The service attitude is superb; the staff are warm, attentive, and incredibly responsive to every request, handling details perfectly. Room hygiene is meticulously maintained; it's spotless, and the bedding is so comfortable, ensuring a very peaceful stay. Overall, the value for money is exceptional. It's perfect for both business trips and holidays. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm here. Highly recommended!

There is nothing wrong with the sanitation. It is very comfortable to live in. The location is also very good. The transportation is convenient and fast. I hope it will get better and better.

This was my first time staying at this hostel, and it was a great experience. I wanted a place close to the Bell Tower for easy access to food and sightseeing. This hostel is right next to the Bell Tower, and there's a phone shop downstairs where I could get a new screen protector. The room design was excellent, and the price was very affordable. What I liked most was that the restroom had both a squat toilet and a sitting toilet, which is very convenient for many people. Plus, you can play pool and watch movies for free here, and the projector screen is quite large – it's really good. After a long day of exploring, it didn't affect my sleep at all. Overall, a fantastic experience!

The experience was poor, despite the excellent location, complete facilities, and low price. The service was subpar, and I won't be returning. Deposit: The deposit is 50 yuan. Regardless of check-out time, it's refunded around 2-3 PM the same day (assuming no deductions are needed). Not having the deposit settled or confirmed as okay in person is concerning. If a dispute arises after leaving, the customer is in a very passive position. I really disliked this. Shoe Policy: You have to change shoes upon entry, and your own shoes must be left at the door, not taken to the room. When I asked what happens if shoes get lost, the staff didn't answer. For 200-300 yuan shoes, maybe it's fine, but what about 500, 700, or even 1000+ yuan shoes? Leaving them at the door, with no locked cabinet, not allowing them in the room, and without anyone taking responsibility if they get lost, is very unsettling. Compensation Notices Everywhere: Notices stated a 200 yuan per square meter compensation fee if water from the shower spills onto the floor due to not closing the curtain. Also, the sink couldn't be pressed forcefully, or compensation would be required if it broke. The shower design is flawed, potentially causing water overflow, yet guests are charged for it. The sink is flimsy, and instead of fixing it, guests are expected to be extra careful or pay for damages. Staying here means being constantly on edge (don't stain the sheets, don't break anything, be afraid of water overflowing from the shower, don't press the sink, change shoes upon entry). It's nerve-wracking, impossible to relax, and the experience was very bad. Risk of Electric Shock: Halfway through my shower, I saw a notice saying to pull the shower curtain to avoid the risk of electric shock! So, I was literally risking my life while showering! Even with the curtain pulled, there were gaps between the curtain and the wall, so water could still splash onto the switches. This is a problem a simple plastic cover could solve, yet it gambles with guests' lives. I wouldn't dare come back; I've never stayed in such a dangerous place. It might be 30 yuan a night, but it could cost you your life. Lighting: The entire corridor was very dim, with many energy-saving lights. Instead of bright and welcoming, the pervasive dimness made me uncomfortable. I don't like a dim atmosphere. The owner is very frugal. I turned on a spotlight, and the owner turned it off, replacing it with a dimmer light. The reason, again, was about money. The experience was very poor. Free Snacks/Massage Chairs/Toilet Paper: Despite the extreme energy saving, there were free snacks in the lobby. There was also a large TV for casual viewing, along with free coffee and tea. Toilet paper was provided in the restrooms. The bedding was clean, and slippers were disinfected after each guest. For me, the biggest highlight was the massage chair, which worked perfectly and was very relaxing after a day of sightseeing. In my room, there weren't many tourists; mostly regular guests. Perhaps they were studying for postgraduate exams, unemployed, or on long leave. Everyone had their curtains drawn, so there wasn't much interaction. The room was facing the street and very noisy, and people tended to sleep late. Those who can accept all of the above might consider staying here.

Everything about this hotel is good. Great location, service, very clean near to subway. I was riding bicycle from hotel to subway. I will stay again in this hotel if I get chance to. Highly recommend this hotel.
