Καλή τοποθεσια
Το ξενοδοχείο έχει αλλάξει όνομα αλλά κανείς δεν στο λέει με αποτέλεσμα να το ψάξω σχεδόν 3 ώρες. Φαινόταν βρώμικο και ήταν βρώμικο . Οι τουαλέτα και το ντουζ σε άθλια κατάσταση .

Passable
This hostel is in a good location right next to the city wall and a 5-minute walk from South Gate. Room was large and fairly comfortable and all toiletries provided. The hostel has a WeChat service where you can message directly if something is needed, which was more convenient than going downstairs.
Perfunctory check-in and lack of warm and welcoming attitude. Room was dirty. Hostel advertised a rooftop bar but when I went there it was closed amd there were no staff around. Although the property advertises itself as a hostel, it didn't really feel like one. There was none of the social element of other hostels.

Not as expected
They let me cancel my booking after the first night
It did not look as good as in the pictures, the room was in very poor condition, very dirty and smelly. I don't understand how they have so many good reviews. I had a booking for two weeks, but left after one night. I went to ChengYuchenghao hotel, which was very nice and about the same price (found on trip.com since booking.com seems to not have many hotels in China).

Exceptional
The place is so well located inside the wall, near the metro station (china-near) and the staff was super helpful and helped us to book a trip to the Xian warriors and everything we needed.

Room not as shown and faulty housekeeping
The male owner/manager was accommodating in refunding us two nights when our travel plans changed. The location is okay, although the nearest metro station is still a bit of a walk for Xi'an standards. We paid a very low rate (150 euro) for one week.
First, the room was nothing like the bright rooms in the pictures for the 'standard room' we booked. Because somehow we had been charged a very low rate (about half the normal price), I didn't make a big deal out of it, but I do think the room we stayed in should not be sold as the other 'standard rooms'. It was more like a shed on the roof (no lift to the 4th floor) with an in-room cabin holding the 'bathroom', which in places was taped to the wall and floor. The working desk that was promised in the description, and which I needed, was not present. Some days, we did not get clean towels, shower/bathing gel, toilet paper and water. When we asked about it, they first said 'we're fully booked, so our staff didn't have time to do all rooms' while the second time they said 'we sometimes don't allow the cleaning staff to go into the rooms'. Both explanations are just completely ridiculous. The lady behind the front desk did not come across as very customer-friendly, rarely making eye contact and giving answers like the above. Because the 'room' is in the bright sun on the roof, it got incredibly hot, with the air conditioning never really reaching the programmed temperature.

lousy and bad experience
They put at the roof top with very dim light to access our room. They try to sell rooms down stairs but pay almost double our current rate. I wouldn't recommend anyone to this homestay. Worst ever place to stay.
everything they offered and not abliging at all
