Situated within easy distance of the old city attractions, the Ramada lives.up to.itswell.earned reputation. This.area.of.Xi'an is almost.24/7 hstle and.bustle yet the rooms.are quiet as a mouse and a good nigt's sleep is , as the hotel advertises, to sleep like a rock star.
On arrival check in is a doddle and the very friendly and efficient staff gave me an upgraded room. I have to thank staff, namely Mary Wang, for their fantastic attention to detail and their knowledge of the locale.
Rooms were clean, bed very comfortable, air conditioning a present from the gods and essential in the heat.
Breakfast was well priced and timings industry standard til about 9.30am. Aselection of hot and cold, mainly Chinese but some western offerings. Tasty, filling and a variety from rice, meats, toast and pastries, fruits etc. Room service available but I didn't need it.
Metroline a couple of 100 yards left out of hotel and very convenient to Yongning men where the city walls can be walked and, upon finishing, head to Sharky's bar for a band, chilled beer or soft drinks and fantastic burgers.
Athoroughly enjoyable trip to Xian made all the more pleasant by a thoroughly lovely hotel and thoroughly lovely staff.
Highly recommend: Terracota Army, city walls, pagoda and nighttime .
