The best thing about this hotel by far has to be the location. It is situated within the city walls of Xian and is within walking distance of all the places I wanted to visit. The rooms were quite modern with lovely bathrooms and really comfy beds. There is also all the lovely complimentary stuff that you expect to receive... More

On arrival we were told our room was "being made up" and would be ready within 30 minutes. Thirty minutes later we were told that they would start cleaning the room within the NEXT 30 minutes. Thirty minutes later, after "follow up" by me, the room was ready. Unfortunately, though, the promise that our bags would be brought to the... More

I travelled part of a tour group and stayed here for 2 nights. This was one of the better hotels if not the best one I stayed in China. For location it is excellent as the shops (inc designer) are nearby, a massive supermarket round the corner. Make sure you ask for directions to find this as it's not obvious.... More

The Hotel is in an excellent location. On one of the main streets inside the city walls. 5 minute walk to the Bell tower - 10 minutes to the Drum tower. The Bell Tower is accessible via an underground walkway. 2 minute walk to the South Gate of the city walls. Once on the wall we were about 100m away... More

I stayed here for 3 nights during my recent China trip and had a nice stay. The hotel was quite modern and didn't have as much charm as some of the other hotels I stayed in but the location was fantastic! It was situated inbetween the bell tower and the drum tower and was a short walk to most places... More

We were part of a tour group and stayed here 3 days. Rooms were cosy but clean. Ideal location to easily walk to central area with shops and attractions. Lots of eating options close by. 10 minute walk to Bell Tower and Muslim Quarter, and city wall. Great market at Muslim Quarter. Good breakfast with something for everyone. Beds were... More

Stayed here for two nights as part of a family tour of China. The room was clean and tidy though a bit dated. A smell of stale cigarette smoke lingered in the corridors but the room was ok. We had asked for a non smoking room. Within walking distance of the city walls where you can hire bikes to cycle... More

We were part of a tour group that stayed here for one night in early September. The good things first--great location to the city walls, Bell and Drum Plaza and the Muslim quarter. There are a variety of places to eat nearby including plenty of Western fast food if you are in the mood. I had a single room on... More

We arrived at the Skytel expecting 2 nice rooms, given that the reception area was pleasant. When we got out of the lifts at the seventh floor we were greeted by a bucket on the floor which was catching water drips through the roof. Our rooms both were very dated and they smelled very musty. We soon noticed water stains... More
