Comfy room but poor wifi

Wifi is non-existent and food in the restaurant really poor both breakfast and dinner. Otherwise comfortable room and good sleep. The area is great since you have both subway lines across the corner and Muslim quarters at about 5 mins walk.

a place very cozy ,clean and super convent,worthy

This is a place for solo travelers who only need a clean, convenient, safe place to sleep overnight. The location is very close to every point of interests in Xian City. The front desk people are very helpful and knowledgeable about travel issues. There are clean shower rooms, bathrooms and hallway and elevator. There are quiet and private places to sit and study . Wifi is stable. the rooms are large enough to house 6 to 7 people without too packed feelings. Closets are clean and big enough for your belongs, with locks , as well . I stayed here for 8 days and I booked from the States with good price. I went out each day for my own tour and came back to my own place with each day different roommates. These roommates are nice ,decent people . Remember : What I booked is a dormitory type of room and we must follow the quiet rules. If you are not comfortable with roommate snoring at night, be sure to bring your own earplug , which you can get in CVS. When I left I suggested the host to provide earplugs to travelers but I am not sure they can get this thing in China. The slipper under bed is plastic and everybody used. I you mind this, please bring your own slipper, hotel-type slipper. The bedding are clean , though. I encountered mosquito one night because the screen was open. ( I stayed here in October) I asked for mosquito light and it did not happen again . Overall , This is a place very cozy ,clean and super convenient .

日本人のレビューがないため、書いておきます。私は安い宿に泊まり歩いてるバックパッカーで、今回は西安観光と風邪の療養のため数日間ドミトリーで宿泊しました。 このホテルは地下鉄から徒歩一分の距離、そして、西安の街の中心部ということもあり、とても観光がしやすい立地でした。コンビニや飲食店もたくさんありました。 スタッフは英語を話すことができるので、安心です。 また、中国語と英語でたくさんの案内を置いているので、英語が苦手な方もそれを見て、理解することができます。 ホテルの内装や雰囲気はとても良く、中国で泊まったホテルの中でも最も好きかもしれません。 このホテルは有料のコインランドリーがあり、また、乾かす場所もあります。部屋はカードロック式で部屋の中に鍵付きのロッカーも設置されていますので、安心でした。 泊まっている方の9割は中国人で欧米人が数名、日本人は自分のみでした。 良いホテルなので、西安に来た日本人の方に是非利用していただけたら、と思います。

It became too hot at night to the point where I would wake up in a sweat. However, the staff were lovely and it was a very cool and hip place to go. Overall I really enjoyed it and would stay again if I came back. I would probably get a different room though to avoid the heat coming to the top bunk.

我住宿的这间双床间,窗户是面对走廊,所以这点不是很方便,进门后一定记得拉窗帘哦,免得有人看见.其他房间情况也许会不一样.房间也是非常棒,墙上都贴了壁纸,所以很干净.洗漱用品没有直接放在房间,需要自己去前台拿.前台在一楼,旁边有台球室和酒吧,但是我对此不感兴趣,所以没有去. 住宿附近有地铁,所以出行很方便.距离市中心的回民街也是很近,走路就能到.房间清洁很干净.前台可以寄存东西.酒店有西安一些景点的报团活动,可以直接报名,也是很方便.

Хостел очень большой и хорошо выглядит. Кровати тоже большие и чистые. Душевые с огромной лейкой. Есть стиральные машины (за отдельную плату), бар, в котором можно закащать европейский завтрак. Правда, он всё же будет с азиатским оттенком. Расположен в минуте от метро, да и в целом в центре. Очень удобно. Персонал Вежливый, говорят по-английски. Отличное место за эти деньги.

A great hostel.

We really enjoyed our stay at such an unusual property to find on Hotels.com. It is a youth hostel & charges youth hostel prices, but it was fantastic. The young staff spoke good English and were friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. Our room, although having no external window, was fine with excellent air conditioning. Everything was in good working order, breakfast was available until lunchtime & offered tremendous variety. The area was vibrant with restaurants, street food & convenience stores all around, in the heart of the walled city. We would love to stay here again.

Mixed Review - poor cleanliness, good location

Bathroom cleanliness was definitely below acceptable standards (and I'm not a stickler). There were several strands of hair on the bathroom floor and, to my horror, I found a cigarette butt on the bathroom floor as well. There's no way to prevent water from the shower from going all over the bathroom floor. Two pairs of shower slippers are provided but they were both clearly used so I didn't wear them. On a less important note, the photos on CheapTickets make the facilities look much better than they actually are. In person, the hostel shows a great deal of wear and tear.

位置極佳，就在北大街地鐵站B出口旁邊巷子裡，走路不用一分鐘，但卻鬧中取靜，不會吵鬧。附近的生活機能很好，有便利商店，也有幾家不錯的餐廳。房間設備普通但簡單舒適，雖然浴室沒有乾濕分離，不過每天都會打掃，也很整潔。一樓交誼廳也有撞球檯和手足球檯，雖然沒有使用，但有看到小孩子和外國人玩的不亦樂乎，也有餐廳很方便。讓人最開心的是櫃台服務非常好，熱心之外也頗熱情，問題都能詳盡回答，也樂於幫忙旅客，這真的很棒！
