Holiday Inn Express Xi'an Bell Tower, an IHG Hotel

The triple room is OK for three persons, there is enough space for big suitcases. Everything is clean. There were washing machines and dryers on our floor, so we could wash and dry our clothes - very comfortable is when you are on a trip for weeks.

Breakfast has a good spread. Many choices of food. Coffee selection is good. Room is quite large with enough space. Bathroom facilities and shower is strong. Location of the hotel is very near to Bell & Drum Tower with access to the Xian metro easily. Walkable distance to Muslim street, Grand Mosque and ancient great wall. Most attractions are easily accessible by using the metro train. A lot of food varieties nearby.

My stay at Holiday Inn Express Xi’an was very pleasant. The hotel offers excellent value for money, combining comfort, convenience, and efficient service—everything you need for a smooth stay. What stood out: ✔ Clean & Modern Rooms – My room was spotless, well-designed, and had a super comfortable bed. The blackout curtains ensured a great night’s sleep, and the strong Wi-Fi was a big plus. ✔ Tasty Complimentary Breakfast – The breakfast buffet had a good variety of both Western and Chinese options, including fresh fruit, eggs, pastries, and local dishes. A great way to fuel up before a day of exploring! ✔ Convenient Location – The hotel is situated in a practical area with easy access to public transport, making it simple to reach Xi’an’s top attractions, including the metro and Bell Tower area. ✔ Friendly & Efficient Staff – The front desk team was welcoming and helpful, providing quick check-in/out and useful local tips. I purchased a number of items from taobao and it gets delivered to the hotel and i am able to pick up my parcel from the hotel reception with ease when i returned from my sightseeing in the evening. Housekeeping also did a fantastic job maintaining cleanliness. For travelers looking for a no-fuss, comfortable, and affordable stay in Xi’an, I’d definitely recommend Holiday Inn Express. It delivers everything you’d expect from the brand—consistent quality and great service. I’d happily stay here again!

The hotel is in an excellent location, just a short walk from the Bell Tower and right next to the Muslim Quarter, as well as a very interesting street food area that we happened to discover on our last day. It is located at the end of the street and can be accessed through an open gate. The city walls are also within walking distance, making it very convenient for sightseeing. The room was good — not brand new, but perfectly reasonable and comfortable for four people. Toiletries were provided, and housekeeping cleaned the room daily. Breakfast was excellent, mostly Asian-style, which suited us perfectly, so we found it very satisfying. There is also a laundry room available for guests, complete with detergents. The English spoken by the reception staff was not the best, but this is quite common throughout China. Overall, a very good hotel and a great base for visiting the main attractions of Xi’an. I would definitely recommend it.

The hotel was as clean and modern and simple and decent as per what you can expect from Holiday Inn Express Hotels. In addition, the hotel is located in downtown and everything (metro, supermarkets, restaurants, the bell tower…) is literally at your doorstep or easy to reach. In addition we got a plate with fruits offered for free plus the hotel extended our checkout time by two hours. Ultimately, it was quiet inside the room as the room was not facing the busy main street.
