Yixi Designer's Boutique Hotel Xi'an

The location was a big plus, with the fort close enough to walk to and a large shopping center nearby, plus lots to do. Didi is easy to use through WeChat or Alipay, and easier to navigate than hailing a taxi. Google Maps puts the address a little off, but the hotel is only a two-minute walk away. Use Amaps, the local Chinese version, or follow the detailed directions the hotel sends after booking. We absolutely loved the place. The staff are so helpful and speak enough English to communicate easily. They booked tickets to local attractions for us and suggested restaurants. The rooms are really nice, clean, comfortable, and can stay cool in summer if you turn up the air conditioning, even when it’s 40 degrees. The interior is lovely and cute, and there’s a cafe. I don’t think they serve breakfast, but there are plenty of options nearby. Definitely recommend it for foreigners staying in Xi’An.
