This solo trip to Xi'an, based on past experiences, I opted for a hostel instead of a hotel or B&B, for a few reasons: ✅ **Safety Buff:** Compared to staying alone in a hotel, I prefer having female roommates 👭. Hostels provide this environment with open common areas and shared rules, making me feel much safer. ✅ **Convenience:** Cheap doesn't mean a rundown guesthouse. Large chain hostels usually have professional staff, communal restrooms, basic toiletries, and large common areas for activities. Their locations are also often very central. ✅ **Kindness and Friendship:** This is the soul of a hostel. Honestly, it's hard to find a place in society where you witness so much kindness as densely as in a hostel common room. With a shared destination, a book, a song, or a common interest, people can easily connect. There are no ulterior motives or desires, no prejudice or barriers (ideally → still, remember to protect yourself and set boundaries). This time, I stayed at 'Backpackers 10 Years Bell Tower Branch,' a nationwide chain. The off-season price was very affordable, and the six-bed dorm wasn't full. The girls in the dorm were all very considerate, quietly closing doors at night and not disturbing others when getting up early. The room was clean and odor-free.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Perfect Hostel Experience Beyond Expectations! My trip to Xi'an was made incredibly special by this youth hostel located in Dapiyuan! It's one of the most thoughtful and convenient hostels I've ever stayed in. **📍Excellent Location:** It's right in the famous **Dapiyuan**! Step outside, and you're surrounded by authentic local eateries. Huimin Street and Sajin Bridge are also within walking distance. For a foodie like me who wants to experience the true flavors of Xi'an, this is pure heaven. **🚻Room Highlights:** What surprised me most was that a hostel room actually came with **two separate bathrooms**! This completely eliminated the morning rush for washing up and evening queues for showering, greatly enhancing privacy and convenience. Both bathrooms were also stocked with toilet paper, showing great attention to detail. **🌿Common Areas:** * The **rooftop garden terrace** is an absolute gem! Sitting on the terrace with friends in the evening, enjoying the breeze and the night view of Xi'an's old city, felt incredibly relaxing and comfortable. It's also a fantastic spot for photos. * The **ground floor reception area** is so well-equipped! Not only is it **staffed 24/7**, which put my mind at ease as a late arrival, but it also **sells snacks and bottled water**, solving any late-night cravings. A **fridge, washing machine, and dryer** are all available, which are absolute essentials for long-term travelers. Being able to wash and dry clothes anytime is incredibly convenient. **In Summary:** This hostel perfectly balances 'superior location,' 'comfortable accommodation experience,' and 'high level of living convenience.' Whether you're a solo backpacker or traveling with friends, it meets all your needs. Highly recommended! This will definitely be my top choice for my next visit to Xi'an! 👍

The environment is beautiful, facilities are complete, and it's very clean. There's no strange smell in the room, and the service is super good. I stayed here for half a month and it was really comfortable, just like being at home. The common areas are spacious and bright, with good natural light, and you can see the night view of the Bell Tower from the windows in the common area. It's especially quiet at night, and they provide disposable toiletries and bottled water every day. The subway entrance is right downstairs, making travel incredibly convenient. It's only about 50 meters from the Bell Tower, with many convenience stores and food streets nearby. Honestly, there's nothing to complain about. For this price, to find such a great hostel with such a good environment near the Bell Tower is truly exceptional.

Decent hostel. There is a big common area that is quite comfortable and the rooms have everything a backpacker would need: lockers, sockets and a private light next to your bed. The bathroom has multiple sinks and European standard toilets. The bathroom always looks a little yucky because it's old but it is actually surprisingly clean. There is a washing machine available that you can use yourself. But it takes a long time for your clothes to dry when you hang them in your room. The staff of the hotel was helpful. They let us check in early when we arrived half dead from a night train. It was a bit hard to find: It is on the second floor of the house on the corner. Just in case you're as confused as we were.

Seriously, I genuinely believe this is the absolute best hostel I've ever stayed in. The staff are wonderful, the atmosphere is fantastic, and they're incredibly helpful. Most importantly, it's super quiet, and the facilities are extensive. I had such a great experience! It's also amazing value for money – truly brilliant, honestly better than many hotels! If you're coming to Xi'an and haven't found the right hostel yet, you have to check this place out!

Nice and helpful host, kettle, free drinkable water, clean bathroom with soap, tooth brush and paste and toilet paper, lockers, no mosquitoes in the room, pleasant soft music during the day and excellent location. Georges lemon tree in common room.

The best was the free drinking water available, the hostel is located nearby the bell tower and relatively close to the metro, it's inside the old city. They have a washing machine you can use it for 3 RMB. Unfortunately was full of young Chinese living in the hostel, most of hostels in china are not made for travelers though. It's not the hostel but the people were smoking even in the living room, leaving the door open when the AC was on, and they were very noisy like normal Chinese people, you needed to tell them to be quiet. And, they left the ashes of the cigarettes in the bathroom. I have never seen cleaning the room. But they clean the common areas. They have elevator and fortunately could find it easily.

This hotel is very good location and clean, I really enjoy taking a rest at this hotel, really appreciate that it's very near to Tiyuchang metro station (Exit D). There are many restaurants and convenient stores nearby the building that is very convenient. The hotel staff and the hotel owner also give a warm welcome to me, thank you so much. Everything in the hotel is clean and convenient. I will come to use service from this hotel again next time. And this hotel is near to travel spots (small wild goose, Xian museum), it's very good location hotel.

The hostel has a lot of potential with a rooftop, great WiFi and comfortable beds, as well as lockers and a welcome package including some soap and slippers. However, the cleanness definitely needs improvement. Especially in the bathroom! (And under the bunks) I had a bunk bed in a room for 14 guys (not sure if there are more rooms for guys), so at least 14 guys have only 3 toilets and 2 showers. That’s not much but worst of all is if it’s not cleaned enough. With this amount of guests cleaning it multiple times a day is absolutely necessary. So overall, something that can and needs to be improved
