It's a worth to stay. The air-conditioning is warm enough while the outside temperature is -10C. The price is cheap. Security is good. But the water in shower room is not hot enough during its peak hours, i.e. about 10-12pm. Despite that, everything is good for this cheap price.

The staff here were really friendly and put on activities like free hot pot that made the place feel comfortable and homey. Walls are decorated with pictures drawn by former guests. Breakfast is pretty good. The building itself generally has a lot of character, but it's located in an area that can be difficult to find if you're not good with maps. That said, it's still pretty close to the Drum Tower, the Muslim Quarter, and a bus stop that will take you to the train station.

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. It's hard to ask for more from a hostel: comfortable, well-heated rooms, an inviting lounge that's well-designed for meeting people, extremely helpful and fun staff (who offer a fantastic tour to the terra cotta army!), an great in-house cafe (and a fantastic western breakfast!), good location (near the city center, metro, and the wonderful Muslim Quarter), and even free nightly activities for guests. Wouldn't dream of staying elsewhere in Xi'an.

Nice hostel with warm rooms and shower even in winter time (which isn't always the case in China). The terracotta tour was excellent.

I loved the Hang Tang Inn. The staff was really helpful and worked with me to make sure I did everything I wanted to in Xi'an. Also, the tour guide for the Terracotta warrior tour was excellent.

Staff spoke perfect english. Rooms were nice and clean, with HOT water in the showers. Ive seen people write how small the rooms were but it was much the same size you get all through out asia. Excellent tours available at the front desk The only other thing worth noting is although these people have activities every night, its not like other hostels where you get blind drunk at the bar. This one there are a few families staying there so its a lot more tame then other hostels.

I think this hostel has a really good location. They had really cool activities planned every night of the week! The food was great and affordable! We had a stunning room, was more like a guest house than a hostel! Very clean, and the beds are huge!

We had a fabulous time. The food served at the cafe was reasonably priced and tasted very good. The hostel made good efforts to accommodate Westerners, making them feel at home. The staff was also very happy to answer all of our many questions once we arrived.

This is by far one of the best hostels i have ever stayed in, from a very friendly welcome to the very clean, cosy and comfy rooms that even included under floor heating! On arrival we were given a token for some welcome beers and told about the nightly activity, which was a great way to meet new people and was hosted by the very lovely Lei Lei! I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Xian, it had everything you could want from a hostel and so much more!!

Very clean, very cosy and great facilities with private ensuite in dorm rooms. Great value for money and although they forgot to pick me up from the train station, they discounted my room and apologized profusely, and paid for my taxi. Would definitely stay again!
