We had private rooms on the 3rd floor with ensuites - the rooms were excellent but be ware - water covers the whole floor when you shower and pools around the toilet and vanity before gradually draining away so don't leave clothes on the floor! There are washing machines to use for 9 CNY in the laundry. Wi-fi only downstairs... More

This was a great place to stay. It is located in the south of the city, if your coming from the train station (in the north) should only cost about 12rmb in a meter taxi. It is only a 10 min walk or so to the bell tower and drum tower. The interior of the hostel is lovely feels very... More

I would recommend anyone visit this hostel if only to stay in the building. You will never get this experience anywhere else. Stay here if only for one day, it should be listed as one of the attractions of Xian. However, it has to be said we arrived very late after a very long train journey and they had given... More

Arrived in Xi'an very early in the morning by train and was collected in the hostel minibus, which took us back (free of charge!). The hostel is on the opposite side of the old city to the train station but in a great location - it is right next to the city walls and a few minutes walk to the... More

Great atmospheric hostel with covered courtyard restaurant and nice comfortable rooms. Bathrooms are basic and slightly mouldy, shower pressure is bad but probably because bathroom is a wet room. beds are okay and decor is nice. Food is reasonable but not great in the restaurant, they offer a lot of western choices that are tasty enough if you like American... More

Most hotel/hostel rooms have either good location, or cheap rooms or good service. Seldom do we get a combination of all of these. I am glad to have one that fulfilled all these criteria in XiangZiMen (XZM). Right from the start, we were picked up free from the train station to the hostel for free by a staff member Mia.... More

The double rooms rooms with ensuite are neat and clean - try to get one at back of hotel with a window as quieter there. We had room 306. The grounds are always kept tidy, staff... More

I spent two nights in the Hostel and it was one of the best places that I stayed in during my 21 day trip throughout China. The atmosphere is really great, it makes you feel very comfortable. the staff are friendly and the rooms were large and the beds comfortable. The showers were also large and spa-like. The only downside... More

I spent 3 nights in the xiangzimen and found it to be very good value for money. Had a private en suite room to myself. Very good size and nice view if the south gate from the window. Was more like a hotel than a hostel really as staff came in to clean bathroom, change towels and make bed every... More

Quite simply, probably the best hostel I've ever stayed in. Big comfy dorm bed, all the facilities and very cheap to boot. The restaurant food isn't great but a great place to sit and pass the time. And the staff are very helpful. I had a great time.
