Hostels in Shaanxi, China

This hostel has an amazing location! There are several highly-rated restaurants from Dazhong Dianping's must-eat list within 1km. If you're coming to Xi'an for noodles, like me, you absolutely have to choose this place, haha! It's also very clean, and they ask you to change into slippers when you enter. This is the first time I've encountered a hostel that's both affordable and has strict rules (like no smoking, they have a dedicated smoking room). There's an elevator inside the hostel, but you still have to climb a small flight of stairs. The four-person room has eight people sharing two bathrooms. The only minor drawback is that both are Western-style toilets; it would be perfect if one was a squat toilet to accommodate different preferences. It's located in Dapi Lane, basically inside the Muslim Quarter, surrounded by delicious food. The downside to this is that shared bikes aren't allowed to park inside the alley; you have to find a parking spot at the alley entrance. So, no matter if you're taking a taxi or a shared bike, you'll have to walk a bit, but it's only a few hundred meters, so not too far. I truly recommend this hostel. I'm currently staying at a hostel in another city and constantly missing the facilities and strict rules of this one 😢

I stayed at Desti Hostel during 3 nights. Everything was amazing. The rooms and bathrooms were really clean. There is a whole female-only floor which is really great. They give you slippers to walk around the hostel. I used the washing machine and they were really easy to use through Alipay for a someone who doesn’t speak chinese, the reception even provides free pods detergent for your washing. You have also have a drinking water dispenser in the lobby The location is perfect, it is a 5 minutes walk to the Muslim Quarter, you are night next to the Bell Towerand you have a direct bus that leaves to the Teracotta warriors right next to the hostel. For anyone staying in Xi’An, this is a great way place to stay.

The hotel's location is pretty good, but there's an underpass that can easily lead you in the wrong direction towards the Bell Tower. It's next to a mall with an elevator. I'd recommend checking in during the day, as it might be hard to spot the entrance in the dark morning. The service is very thoughtful and quiet, and the bedding is clean. The only downside is the trash bin in the bathroom, which was overflowing with trash. The cleaning staff only tidied up once, and unfortunately, many guests aren't considerate. Also, the toilet and shower area are quite small; larger individuals might find it difficult to turn around. The outdoor lounge area is nice, spacious, and perfect for some quiet solo time. The hotel also offers free umbrellas for guests to borrow. Overall, it's great value for money.

The service was friendly and quick, and the staff made check-in easy. The room was clean and comfortable, and the facilities were well maintained. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and good value for the price.

I absolutely loved this hostel! The location is super convenient, just a few minutes' walk to the subway station, and surrounded by snack shops and convenience stores. The rooms were clean and tidy, the bedding was soft and odor-free, the common areas were spacious and comfortable, and the living room and kitchen were fully equipped. It was so much fun chatting with fellow travelers from all over the world! The owner was warm and helpful, giving us tons of local travel tips and even helping us store our luggage. The value for money is incredible; I'll definitely stay here again next time. I've already recommended it to friends, and it's definitely worth coming back again and again!

The bathroom and shower stall were tiny, barely enough room to turn around. Although it's called the Bell Tower store, it's not actually that close to the subway station; you have to walk several minutes after exiting the station. While the facilities are all there, they don't seem to be well-maintained and are sometimes unusable.

There is nothing wrong with the sanitation. It is very comfortable to live in. The location is also very good. The transportation is convenient and fast. I hope it will get better and better.

This was my first time staying at this hostel, and it was a great experience. I wanted a place close to the Bell Tower for easy access to food and sightseeing. This hostel is right next to the Bell Tower, and there's a phone shop downstairs where I could get a new screen protector. The room design was excellent, and the price was very affordable. What I liked most was that the restroom had both a squat toilet and a sitting toilet, which is very convenient for many people. Plus, you can play pool and watch movies for free here, and the projector screen is quite large – it's really good. After a long day of exploring, it didn't affect my sleep at all. Overall, a fantastic experience!

Everything was pretty good; they thought of things I hadn't even considered. BUT!!! While the environment was nice and the price was right, it seemed like many people were long-term residents. The common areas were basically cluttered with their belongings, and there's a high chance you'll encounter some really arrogant people!! I went to bed at 11 PM, and they were still talking loudly without a care in the world. After I asked the staff to intervene, they actually started whispering insults about me. It was clear the staff knew the girl, calling her Liu Mei Qi.

Everything about this hotel is good. Great location, service, very clean near to subway. I was riding bicycle from hotel to subway. I will stay again in this hotel if I get chance to. Highly recommend this hotel.
