The decor of Xiangzimen hostel was amazing and it had an excellent restaurant/bar area that was really nice to chill out in. The bedroom was very clean, but we thought that the communal bathroom facilities could have been a bit better. The urinal in the men's was blocked and overflowing while the showers were individually quite small with nowhere to put your things. Location was great, although only 5 stops on the bus for us not 6. Just get off when you see the city walls. Staff were friendly.

Staff had virtually no understanding of English and could barely speak it. Had difficulties checking in. A friend of mine that was staying in a dorm came back from a tour and found they had given his bed to someone else.the first night I was there the place seemed to be booked out with Chinese people. Food and beer were overpriced.

Small private room with a dreadful view, no dryer and hanging your clothes is impossible. Its got a really popular restaurant and the common areas are quite nice. Subway is a long walk from the hostel, but plenty of bus stops around the area.

One of the best hostels (200+) I ever stayed. The hostel itself looks almost like a museum from the inside. Perfect location. Rooms are nice and clean, good shower. The rooms are nicely away from the chilling area, so you can have a nice quiet sleep. Only downside is the relative high prices for drinks, beer starts at 15 yuan.

Large youth hostel nearby the south gate. Lovely place to stay, can get a little noisy though when your room is near the common area. Nonetheless, good value for money.

I had a great stay there. Great location, really nice facilities, and great food at a good price. I would go back to Xi'an just for a chance to stay at Xingzimen again.

good position, very very very nice looking and atmosfere. the only problem is that the bathroom are not really good: the shower are in a separate floor than the toilets. i'd recomand to take the private room ensuite and stay here because the atmosfere and the staff are really good and it's a nice place to meet both foreigners and asians travellers.

tell the restaurant staff not to move tables and do major cleaning wihile guests are still seated and trying to eat. Also, is it a good idea to let cats and dogs run around in the restaurant? why do their tv's never work properly?

the location of the hostel is perfect! The staff are attentive and always polite! Clean and cozy rooms. The only thing which is not so perfect is the doors on the first flour, it's so difficult to open them when your hands are full of bags.

Xiangzimen was a very nice place to stay!! The traditionnal chinese house is one of the most beautiful guesthouse we stayed during our thee month trip! The place is located in the old town next to the main attractions and next to a big bus station to go out the old town. The staff is welcoming and helpfull. Nothing special about the dorms. There are lockers. The bathroom was a bit dirty. Laundry is cheap but you do it yourself. Finally we will definitely stay there again!

The shower water in the bathroom took some time to flow away. The third bed (a fold-up trundle bed) in the triple room was rather uncomfortable - Lumpy at the fold. Apart from that we had a great time, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very convenient to the City Wall - for a bike ride and wander. The bookings for the trip out to the Warriors and the evening show all most successful. Thanks so much.
