Bell Tower Hotel Xi'an

Nice clean hotel right next to bell tower. Short walk to drum tower and market area. Lots of bus stops nearby to take you to the other tourist sites. Only gripe is that the staff were not friendly and internet is a rip off in the business center but these are minor things. I would stay there again.

All considered it was a pleasant staying. It is rated as 4star hotel. This could be true with Chinese standards,not with European ones (max3 stars). Little trouble with air conditioning not working, it took us 4 calls to have it working. Anyway the staff is friendly,correct and with a good English. The breakfast was not included in the room rate (120RMB per couple) but it was money well spent because outside the hotel we did not enjoy local food as much as in other places in China.

This hotel was very well located and is within walking distance of many tourist attractions. The room was very large and comfortable. We had a great view of the Bell Tower but the room was quiet in spite of the heavy traffic. We would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Xi'an. Breakfast was not included with our booking, but the breakfast buffet was not to expensive and was delicious.

Nice hotel, in the very center of Xi'an, close to main attractions. My carpet was perfectly clean (in reply to other comments I read before). Small details, however, make of this hotel a 4 and not 5 Stars one (dust here and there, an old lamp, etc.) Main desk service a bit 'cold' in treatment, but efficient. I would definitely repeat the experience.

We have just returned from our China experience. The bell Tower Hotel is in a great location. Check in was a little slow and our booking was confused as we had 2 rooms booked. Breakfast was very reasonable - good variety on the buffet it was 50 RMB per person for Hotel guests with a 15% surcharge on top of that. We had a problem however with mould in the bathroom (shower, tiles, soap dish and shower curtain) we requested it to be cleaned which was not successful. Some of the Hotel staff have extremely limited English and find it difficult to assist you. Traffic in XiAn is busy but manageable.

`Don't hope the rooms are good, the place is very old in its finishes with pealing wallpaper and a general run down feeling. No air-conditioning to speak of. The restaurant on Level 2 puts on a smorgasbord breakfast and dinner but the food is of a very low standard and the staff have no English to speak of. It is very cheap by Australian standards but why is it necessary to pay for poor quality.

Great location, right next to the Bell Tower, short walk from the Drum Tower and the Great Mosque, and markets at night time. Airport Bus drops you off a couple minutes down the road. Beautiful rooms and English well spoken by staff. Concierge very helpful.
