2-Star Hotels 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.

Great value for money, and the hotel location is very convenient for transportation. Check-in at the front desk was smooth and quick, and the self-service kiosks were easy to use. The room was spacious and bright with large windows, well-equipped, and quiet. The service attitude was excellent. It's a great choice whether you're traveling for business or leisure! Thumbs up! 👍🏻

The owner was very kind and had a great attitude. However, the facilities are a bit old, probably because it's been open for a few years. The room was a bit cold, but there was an electric blanket, so it was fine once I was in bed. The price was cheap though, so it wasn't a big deal, and the location was excellent.

We took the high-speed rail from Jingzhou, Hubei to the hotel where we stayed on the first night in Huashan, preparing to climb Huashan the next morning. The hotel is very close to Yuquanyuan, the starting point of the hiking trip, about a five-minute walk away. The shop owner was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to introduce the precautions for mountain climbing and told me where to have a cheap breakfast.

Great location in the Muslim Quarter. Lots of food around, short walk to the bell tower, near the buses to the Terracotta Army, and a short subway ride to all the other main attractions. It’s down an alley, but there are a lot of signs t make to it easy to find, and it also means it’s very quiet despite being in the middle of a popular area. The owners were friendly. I visited in winter and they made sure the room was heated in advance of my arrival. It was quite cozy.

Overall, it was great! The staff were very friendly. When I checked in, the front desk attendant even let me pick the room type I liked. The room was spacious, and I loved the small courtyard on the fourth floor with the little cats – it had such a cozy vibe, especially when it rained. The fourth floor also gets great sunlight, perfect for breakfast! Downstairs, there's a lovely little bar and a nice restaurant. It's a small hotel right under the city wall, and the security is pretty good with a keypad lock on the main door after midnight. Plus, they offer laundry service! I stayed for three days, and the housekeeping was meticulous; even if I hadn't finished my water, they'd still leave two fresh bottles. I've already recommended it to my friends, and I'll definitely choose this place again next time I visit. It would be even better if they offered breakfast!

The photos on Trip.com are misleading (too good compared to reality). The room we were assigned was also much smaller than the one we booked. We asked for a room change, but it was even worse, so we stayed in the original room. Based on the room photos, in terms of room amenities we expected to find: a bigger room with a desk and a chair (not a stool), a tv, and a coat rack. There is nowhere to hang jackets. The main issue though is that the hotel is old and poorly maintained. The room floor was dirty with food crumbs scattered around. The Wi-Fi is poor, barely usable. Some outlets next to the bed were not working. At least one bathroom light was not working. One bright side, excellent location for visiting the city and a very competitive price (now we understand why).

The problem is just the cleanliness, the toilet is really messy and nasty, but the rooms are nice, clean bed sheets , no stinky smell on the pillows or anything which makes a balance with the poor hygiene, the boss was really helpful, he's on alert whenever you need something, there is no noise or anything that bothers at night besides the smoke smell in some spots close to the rooms because they secretly smoke.the motel is in a good location, not so far from muslim street and stuff and ofc it was worth the experience especially if you're staying just for a night or two , i don't recommend more

The facilities are complete, with a hairdryer, washing machine, massage chair, refrigerator, microwave, and projector. The place is clean and tidy, and the environment is comfortable. The service is also very good; they'll walk you through everything when you check in. Transportation is super convenient, with the subway and bus stations right downstairs. It's a very welcoming place; they even offered free tangyuan (sweet glutinous rice balls) for the Lantern Festival. If you're planning to stay in a hostel, definitely come to Xingqiji!
