My friend and I booked this hotel as it was close to the Terracotta warriors museum. We took a metered cab from the airport which was 171 RMB. Most of the cab driver wanted a flat fee of 200 RMB. The hotel is located where either the development had stopped or is lagging far behind what was originally planned as... More

I stayed in this hotel as part of a tour group and just for two nights. The only meal I had there was breakfast which was standard fare and just fine. The hotel is stunning.....very large and quite unique with a beautiful lobby. It does seem to be off the beaten track so do not stay here if you want... More

The Hotel is 40 mins outside the city and it cost 50-60 RMB with taxi, therefore this not a good choice if you want see a lot of attractions downtown. It is difficult to get a taxi, because no taxis want to drive that far and empty back to the city. The italian restaurant is acceptable, I had a cibatta... More

This is a relatively new hotel located in an isolated area, about 30 mins away from Xian city. Useful for visit to the Terracotta museum as city traffic can be a nightmare. Rooms are spacious, clean and modern. Most hotels in China do not switch on the aircond from Oct onwards due to cold weather but luckily the 5 star... More

The Kempinski-Xi'an has one massive problem that it can't fix. It's sitting right next to a huge man-made lake that is stagnant. This said lake is a gigantic mosquito factory in summer. When I first went to Kempinski-Xi'an about three years ago, I was swarmed by mosquitos in the bar, lobby and elevators. Their answer to the threat? They now... More

I made a quick trip to Xi'an to see the Terra Cotta Warriors and thought the Kempinski would be a perfect stay. Having stayed in China for most of the summer I know that my expectations need to be lower than staying at other high tier hotels in Europe and the States. PRO's Beautiful hotel, nice rooms, good A/C, great... More

I an doing business in the Chanba region of Xi'an so the Kempinski is perfectly situated for me. I have stayed at the Kempinski at least 8 times over the past two years. The hotel is rather remote from Downtown (a minimum 30 minute drive and usually longer with Xi'an's horrible traffic) so if you are there to visit the... More

We visited this hotel for one night as part of a Viking River cruise, prior to visiting the Terracotta Warriors the following day. To say it has no kerb appeal would be to flatter the establishment. It is a dreary building in a distinctly drab area. The dreadful pall of smog over the surrounding area also did the place no... More

wonderful hotel and fantastic breakfast. lovely place to stay in xi'an.
