“Very nice!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 11, 2009

I stayed here for 1 night with my husband as part of our honeymoon tour around China. The room itself was lovely with a kingsize bed. We were quite high up so had views across town, and the staff were accommodating. We arrived at around 10.30am after an overnight train journey from Beijing and they had extended the buffet breakfast period just for us - we weren't even expecting to get breakfast that morning!
Location-wise, I don't know how accessible it is to the old city wall and attractions as we had our own tour guide and driver. The Terracotta Army is about an hour out of the city.
In the evening we used the indoor pool - the only thing there was that we had to buy a swimming cap (it was compulsory to wear one) which cost about £1.
For dinner we stayed in the hotel restaurant. We arrived to eat quite late by Chinese standards, around 8.30 and they seemed in a hurry to get rid of us in the end as we were the last to leave, so we finished with a couple of drinks at the bar.
On the whole it served our needs.

“Lovely room with a great view of Xi'an”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 16, 2009

I stayed here for 1 night in March 2008 as part of a group-tour of China.

The hotel was extremely clean. The location was rather central as far as I remember. The room was the best thing about this hotel - it was very large and clean with enough furniture to feel home-like but not so much as to feel clutterred. The bathroom was also large and more importantly clean. The two smal complimentary water bottles provided in the room upon check-in were a nice touch. Some complimentary toiletries as well in the bathroom. Not sure if these are replenished on a daily basis though, because I only stayed one night.

The breakfast buffet was lovely. There was a large variety of foods to choose from. You could eat western-stlye pastries or chinese noodles and rice. There was freshly squeezed juice and a pair of chefs who can make your eggs any way you like in front of you while you wait for them to do it. There were also cereals etc - very nice!

Overall I really liked this hotel and I am surprised to find that I am the first review to be posted in English on here.

“A bit tired....”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed April 9, 2008

We stayed here as part of our school trip to China. The public areas of the hotel are renovated to a high standard - the rooms we were in (their 3 star rooms) were horrible! The carpets were dirty and the rooms were very smelly - old smoke. I think this part of the hotel is due for renovation so if you are staying there soon ask NOT to be in the south building

“Can't Breathe, Can't See In Xi'an”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 21, 2007

The Xi'an Wannian Grand is hardly grand. The lobby looks almost as good as it does in the photo's, and the rooms are large; but you can't get a drink, or a meal. We arrived at 1700h and settled in, heading down for a beer about 1830h; the bar is closed, in darkness. I spoke to receptionist who said she'd get the bar opened (this is a big hotel, where is everyone?) By 1900h we had our drinks, now about dinner..... no-one in the restaurant, no staff, no patrons.... no menu.... so back to the bar. It's closed again! Internet touted as free, is not, and it takes some hours to get the hotel's IT guy to reconfigure your laptop to connect to their unique inhouse network. Scary stuff, eh? But the worst thing is you can't see out the wonderful floor/ceiling panoramic windows because the air is a orangey-greenish goop. On our third morning I finally got a glimpse of the road, 9 stories below! Terracotta Warriors are worth the trip tho'

  • Liked — Lovely big pano windows
  • Disliked — Not being able to see anything

“Very nice hotel in Xi'an”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 24, 2007

Wan Nian Grand Hotel, Xi'an was very nice. Two bottles of water and snacks in room at check-in. Booked into hotel as a part of a China Focus tour. Many tour groups (some students) at hotel. Very nice room, standard bath, limited a/c, internet 25 yuan/day. Very nice breakfast buffet included with tour. Much local shopping around corner as well as bus station. Note to far (by taxi) from the city center.
