The Elong Etang Hotel in Xi’an impressed us with its excellent location, just a short distance from the North Railway Station. This makes it incredibly convenient for day trips, such as visiting Huashan. The hotel is newly built, and the modern design of the rooms reflects this. We particularly appreciated the high-quality amenities, including the Japanese-style water toilet, which added a luxurious touch.
The thoughtful extras, such as complimentary gifts, were a nice surprise. We especially enjoyed the water and face masks, which showed the hotel’s attention to detail and guest comfort. The service at the reception was friendly and helpful. While the staff didn’t speak English, communication through a translation app worked well and was not a major issue.
One area where the hotel could improve is the breakfast. The selection was almost entirely Chinese, except for white toast, butter, jam, and coffee. While the local cuisine was fresh and authentic, a few more options catering to international guests would be appreciated to accommodate a wider range of preferences.
Another downside was that, despite booking a non-smoking room, there was a faint smell of old smoke in the room. Additionally, the window insulation was not very strong, and we could hear some outside noise, which meant the need of earplugs to sleep comfortably.
Despite these minor inconveniences, the hotel offers unbeatable value for money. Its modern amenities, excellent location, and reasonable pricing make it a great choice. We would happily stay here again in the future!
