Solitude art inn
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. Not a single hair or speck on the floor—cleaner than my own home, even with pets. The design aesthetic is subtle yet thoughtful, exactly our style. We took a few photos because we loved the vibe so much. After leaving, friends kept asking where we stayed—definitely recommending this place. It’s rare to find a space that feels both cozy and elegant, especially when you can step out into a world of amazing food and easy access to public transport. If you value tranquility, great dining options, convenience, and that homely feeling—all while staying in a beautifully designed space—this is your spot. And seriously, don’t skip the host’s travel guide—it truly makes a difference.
Floral Hotel·Jiujing and light luxury hotel (Yongxingfang Ming City Wall Store)
We came to Xi'an with a few friends during a snowy spell, and the cold weather made us want to stay indoors. That’s when we discovered this charming boutique-style villa—perfect for our needs! The in-house table tennis was a big hit (and totally free!), which kept us entertained all day. The front desk staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, always ready to help. Our room was spotless and well-maintained, with complimentary disposable towels and bath sheets—small touches that made a big difference. It’s quiet and peaceful, like having your own little retreat away from the city buzz. We especially appreciated the thoughtful gift of herbal tea from the owner—it added such a cozy, personal touch.

Gentlemen International Hotel
Staying at Gentlemen International Hotel was a great experience overall. The room was spacious and well-designed, offering plenty of comfort and a nice sense of openness. Its location near Sajin Bridge Metro Station made getting around the city incredibly convenient—just a short walk to the station. I especially loved the outdoor breakfast setup; it had a relaxed vibe with fresh, delicious food—my highlight was the hot congee and freshly baked bread, which tasted fantastic. 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.
