Had a wonderful stay here with my wife and two young teenagers. We had to reserve two rooms in the Mecure hotel on the Sofitel property the price was very reasonable about $68 dollars per night. You can take the taxi anywhere within two to miles for about 6 RMB which is about $1 I highly recommend this. Have the... more

Another reviewer had commented that the Sofitel Xian was the only place to stay and I heartily agree. The hotel is situated in a quiet, private compound set away from the hustle & bustle of the streets in Xian. It was a welcome oasis after going about town and negotiating with the traffic - albeit from the back of tricycle... more

This was one stop within our trip around China and so was recommended / booked by the tour company. When we arrived, the staff opened the taxi door and ushered us through to the front desk who were fast and efficient. When I flashed my BA Exec card, they said they couldn't give me my BA miles, but gave us... more

Safe bet for Xi'an if you don't mind paying for the quality. Room was great. Nice and big with huge bathroom. Very comfortable. Good buffet breakfast. Because we arrived late we ate in restaurant one evening and that was pricey for a la carte (there is a buffet dinner but we arrived too late). Staff were helpful and friendly and... more

Transfer took from airport is about 50 – 60 minutes. We stayed two nights. The hotel located centrally within the walled city. We found the staff extremely friendly and helpful. The meals in the restaurant were great, the buffet breakfast was included with large selection of eastern and western foods, great selection of fresh fruit juices and eggs cooked to... more

Not getting a reply from an e-mail enquiring about transfer from the railway station, I asked the concierge at the Sofitel Beijing to organize it, which he willing did – even though I thought the Y300 was exorbitant for what I knew to be a max 5 minute ride. However, when I exited the station from an overnight Beijing train,... more

This hotel provides the kind of good service one would expect from Sofitel. The rooms were tastefully decorated, modern, and very clean. The location was good, not too far from many of the tourist attractions, but more importantly, once inside the Renmin Square, one was fairly separated from the dirty and noise outside from the street. The stuff was very... more

I am currently staying at this hotel and after just coming from Shangri-la in Shanghai I can't believe they are in the same catagory. The lobby is nice but I am in tower 5 and our room is old, worn out and dirty (walls, carpets and furniture). I do not understand all the 5 stars unless they were in a... more

In May 2009 we stayed in the sofitel for 2 nights. The King room was large and comfortable and everything you would expect from a 5 star hotel. Staying here was part of a 2 week tour of China and we had come to Xian to see the warriors. We are seasoned travellers of the world but are not users... more
