The only complain I have about this hotel is the location. It is far from the subway station. The Xian Railway Station is around 20 - 25 minutes walk. Apart from location, the hotel room was very comfy.

My recent two-night stay at this property couldn't have been much better. I agree with the other reviews that there is no need to stay in the more expensive Grand Mercure or Sofitel, which are both on the same property. A room at the more budget-friendly Mercure provides access to the other two hotels' restaurants and amenities.

My room at the Mercure (3313) was clean, comfortable, and well appointed, though I will say I'm not a fan of the hard beds (which seem to be the norm in China) or of the body wash in the shower that doubles as soap, shampoo and conditioner (a typical European hotel feature).

The hotel itself is a short walk from the Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Great Mosque, and their surrounding markets (though I will say I got turned around leaving the hotel square and wandered off in the wrong direction the first time I tried to find them).

The hotel staff is helpful, though none of them knew that both the Bell & Drum Towers were closed indefinitely to visitors or that the hot springs near the Terracotta Warriors were being renovated and were not open to visitors (this was disappointing after the hotel staff so highly recommended them).

The breakfast buffet (included in the price of mine room) was excellent and provided an extensive mix of both Western and Chinese food options. The two restaurants I dined at on the property--Le Chinois (Chinese) and Azur (Mediterranean)--were very good and reasonably priced. I especially liked Le Chinois.

All in all, a very pleasant stay, though next time I may try staying closer to the Bell & Drum Towers, which is definitely where all the action is.

We visited Xi'an for two days and stayed at the Mecure Xi'an on Renman Square. We were a little disappointed to find that we were placed in a smoking room despite requesting and being told on arrival that it was a non smoking room. (Interesting considering the room had an ashtray and matches provided and smelt terribly of cigarette.) Upon request we were moved to a room on a non smoking floor. It still had a slight cigarette smell so we ended up paying for an upgrade to a suite which was a lot better.
The hotel is fine, however is a little dated and has a distinct odor of cigarettes. Staff were pleasant and helpful, breakfast was great and we had easy access to the restaurant facilities of the Sofitel, two of which we tried and both were excellent (the Japanese restaurant and the newly opened Brazilian one). All in all it was a mixed experience.

Good location, helpful staff, free wifi, close to historic district, close to railway station, from which buses to Teracota Army leave. No eating and shopping possibilities nearby.
Hotel is too dull, looks more like european hotel. But rooms are realy huge.
