Staying at One Fruit Hidden Inn for four nights was an absolute highlight of our trip to Xi'an. Right outside the door is Hui Min Street—though the exact street names are a bit confusing, wandering through the maze of alleys reveals a vibrant mix of food stalls, local crafts shops, and even museum-themed boutiques with prices that match the originals. The owner’s food guide was incredibly helpful—we spent five full days exploring, but still couldn’t try every recommended spot. Definitely saving some for next time! Despite the lively streets just outside, the room itself was blissfully quiet, with zero noise from the bustling neighborhood. Perfect for me and my child, who both love peace and quiet. We didn’t even see the host much during our stay, which added to the sense of privacy. The kitchenette is fully equipped with a microwave, fridge, and washing machine—so convenient. If we missed breakfast, we’d just grab something from the market, store it in the fridge, and heat it up in the morning. No need to worry about supplies: high-quality toiletries were provided—shampoo, conditioner, body wash, facial cleanser, sunscreen, bath towels, tissues, makeup remover wipes, and even makeup remover water. Honestly, I regret packing so much stuff. The mineral water was also available in unlimited supply—no more asking for bottles like at other hotels. Cleaning standards? Impeccable.

We took a few photos because we loved the vibe so much. After leaving, friends kept asking where we stayed—definitely recommending this place.

My wife and I visited Xi'an for a short getaway, and stayed at Ji Hotel (Xi'an Bell Tower Huimin Street) — truly one of the best experiences so far. Located right near Luoma Market Pedestrian Street, it’s in a bustling area yet surprisingly quiet, which made our stay peaceful and enjoyable. The hotel is just a 3-minute walk from Exit F of Metro Lines 2 and 6, making it super convenient to explore the city. We originally booked two nights but ended up extending to five because we loved it so much — that says it all! We were upgraded to a family room at no extra cost, and it was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The window overlooks a residential courtyard, adding a nice touch of calm. The housekeeping staff were exceptional — always on time, attentive, and genuinely caring. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful with any request. Breakfast seating was a bit limited, so expanding the area would be great. There are two washing machines and two dryers, which is good, but during peak evening hours, there can be a wait — adding one more machine would really improve convenience. Overall, this place offers excellent value, comfort, and service. We’ll definitely come back!

This hotel exceeded my expectations! The interior design and overall vibe were exactly what I love—cozy, stylish, and full of character.

That said, I did have two small suggestions: the ¥100 deposit for the umbrella seems a bit high for such a small item, and it might be worth reconsidering. Also, no one at the front desk asked if I was driving, which is something I’d expect from a higher-end hotel—proactively offering parking information or assistance would make the stay even more seamless. These are minor points, but with a perfect 10/10 rating, this hotel is already very close to excellence. Just a few thoughtful touches could make it truly outstanding.

Parking is convenient too—right on the city street with free parking from 9 PM to 8 AM daily, which is perfect for travelers driving in. What really stood out was the food scene right downstairs. From quick breakfasts to late-night snacks, there’s something for everyone. My dad and husband enjoyed grilled skewers while my mom and I shared sweet rice wine egg pudding and fresh steamed rice rolls—perfect for a nightcap or morning treat. As someone from Sichuan, I know good food when I taste it, and this hit the mark. The location is ideal for exploring Huimin Street and nearby attractions, and everything feels so close and accessible.
