Xi'an Dajing Castle Hotel Bell Tower & YONGNING Gate

I have been to this hotel three times now; it is one of my favourite hotels in the world! Great value for money especially when given the amazing view of the city wall & entertaining square. Service was excellent even assisting with taxi booking and currency exchange. Few tips for fellow travellers from abroad to optimise this amazing location: one of the best espresso I had in China so far was at Rendezvous cafe in SKP shopping mall across the street. You'll find great food generally within the area including street food and for anyone looking for less spicy food there is a great Russian restaurant across the street. Hairdressing facilities and cinemas nearby are also affordable and providing superb service.

The friendliness & politeness of your front desk staff, the concierge & even the housekeeper. All are very helpful. Special thanks to Zhang Yang, he helped to attend to all my needs for transportation. There is another lady at front desk that can speak very fluent English, I forgotten her name. Thumbs up to her & do put her as a service ambassador to attend to English speaking tourists like me - impressive Bed, room, water pressure in bathroom - very good & I'm lucky to hv a room facing the gorgeous City Wall..super beautiful at night. Very good spread of breakfast served Location superb..nearby to tourist attractions, many street foods available & shopping mall - all within walking distance

Front desk and concierge are attentive and very helpful and polite. Great service. They speak basic English but will go out of their way to assist you. Close to Metro. Large rooms. Comfy beds. Impressive building. Near food shops and attractions. On Line 2 of the Metro with easy access to many places of interest including the main train station where you can get on the bullet trains. Nice buffet breakfast spread.

Property is at the best location overlooking to the Ming great wall with lots of good local food stalls in the evening, transportation is easy to connect to other tourist spots, metro station is just outside the hotel with 4 underground exits to all directions made safety crossing the busy streets .

Checked in very quickly and taken to our room. Room was clean and comfortable. Great shower. Location was excellent, just outside the South gate and we had a great view of everything that was going on. Close to shops, restaurants and tourist attractions. Breakfast was excellent having wide range of Western and Chinese foods.
