"I had been missed my train so I found this hostel and direct booked. It said only 6 bed dormitory and I thought it was mixed but it's female dorm. Located near Xi'an Drum Tower and Quarter Muslim just walk 10 mins. They provide sandals, toilets are clean, even so staff couldn't speak English fluently but we communicate easily. Just two things minus for me : * The receptionist is in inside after 10 meters corridor so not a bit secure since there were a room after entrance and no one keep watch. (Well at least it's my opinion) 2. I smell cigar inside the living area, because I can't stand with smoke cigar. It's indoor and supposed to be non-smoking area, might. But after all, it was a pleasant to stay in there!"

"Great value and atmosphere, thoroughly recommend, in my top two hostels that I have visited in China along with the Lost Garden Guesthouse in Kunming (I have clocked up 10 years in China, including working as a guide). A note about Xi'an, as with most things in China get up early to appreciate Xi'an. In the Tang Dynasty this city (called Chang'an) was the biggest city on earth, home to 1 million people and at the end/beginning of the Silk Road. The formerly lovely muslim quarter is now truly hideous at night, but do visit the Grand Mosque (清真大寺, the first mosque built in China (adults shouldn't wear shorts). The Terracotta Army is a world class relic ruined by lousy curation, lower your expectations and read up on it, because there is minimal information in Chinese let alone Chinglish. the Mosque is far better, closer and cheaper, 10 minutes walk from the hostel. If you do go to the terracotta army you can get a cheap bus from Xi'an train station no. 306, 7 yuan one way. "

"I was very impressed with this hostel from checkin to checkout. Staff is very friendly and speak English. You get clear directions to the hostel sent to you. We stayed in a double bed private and it was only $25 a night but was the best room weve stayed in in china. Spacious and clean. They even have daily housekeeping, something we havent seen in Chinese hostels. The bar/lounge area is a nice place to hang out too. Theres plenty of signs and cards you can take with you that have directions and advice for things around Xian."
