1 hotel reviews for Hotel Citadines Xi'an Central
The hotel is located in the city center of Xian, five minutes walk to the Muslim street and main street, the rooms are good and clean, but you see slow first wear, the breakfast does not belong to the hotel, but is a private restaurant in the hotel, very Chinese, nothing for Europeans, next time we would take another hotel (because of the free breakfast).

Coming from the airport it's not likely a taxi driver will know where your hotel is straight away, but a quick phone call will rectify this and roughly 35 minutes later you will be here. - in August 10

But I would first look around at the prices of the luxury hotels, and would be willing to "splurge" a bit if their price was right.

The guides eat for free at these places and often will not eat or allow you to buy their meal if you go elsewhere (some members of our family preferred and could tolerate any street food but we learned that our guides would often go the entire day/evening without food because they did not want to purchase food and would not allow us to purchase food for them).

The hotel is surrounded by run-down apartment buildings and construction sites - you can see them all from the roof top terrace. - in September 09
At street level, the shops are on the bottom level, with apartments above, so you don't really notice the run-down apartment buildings as you walk through the old town.
