Xitang Hotel (Xi'an Dayan Tower Datang Buyecheng)

The hotel is very new, the rooms were very spacious. It was very easy to get around to the different tourist locations. The biggest issue I had with the room was that no matter how many times we left the AC running it would never go below 25 degrees Celsius even when we set it to 19 degrees. We told the front desk and they sent someone to the to fix it twice and it still didn’t work. Lastly, there was a drain fly problem in the toilet where I killed on average 7-10 small black drain flies everyday. We had to keep the toilet door closed at all time to ensure that they don’t fly out to the main bedroom. The staff were very quick to offer a different room but as we were only staying for a short time and it wasn’t super hot we felt it was too bothersome to change and move everything.

Excellent location, even more convenient than the other hotel I booked near the wall. MTR station 大雁塔站 is within 2-min walk, famous music fountain at 7pm and 9pm is within 3- min walk, with hundreds of food stalls and souvenirs nearby. The facilities don’t look the best but the 3-person room (with 1 double bed and 1 single bed) is very comfy. Bed sheets and pillow are clean, shower water is stable, hot enough and powerful. Room is spacious. Don’t expect much from the breakfast which is normal. But we could eat until 10am though the official time is 7-9:30am. If you go on an early trip after 6:30, the hotel could pack breakfast for you. Definitely a good stay for families. Plus, you could get bottled water anytime. Staff is very friendly, even helped me contact the 2nd hotel for me. Dinner at 不夜城 is reasonably priced too. Near in mind I went there before 1st May, less crowded than normal.
