"Clean hotel. Good breakfast options."

Xi'an Eastern House Boutique Hotel

Xi'an Eastern House Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property within the ancient walls of Xi’an. Especially excellent for the price point. Loved how clean and functional the property was including free soup delivered by robot. Especially loved the above and beyond service of Anna when she helped us with our luggage to the car on check out whilst providing some insightful of the beaten track tips for exploring our next destination of Chongqing. Her genuine happiness was infectious and filled us with a smile for the whole day - thank you :)"

Grand Hyatt Xi An

Grand Hyatt Xi An

8/10 Good

"I had high expectations for the Grand Hyatt Xi'an, but unfortunately our stay did not live up to its five-star reputation. The hotel itself is beautiful and impressive in size, but that's where the "grand" experience ended for us. We booked two rooms, and the air conditioning in one of them did not work. We reported the problem, but it was never fixed during our stay. Our late-night check-in was disappointing. The front desk agent did not explain the hotel amenities, breakfast, or lounge access, and did not tell us about the security deposit. Instead, my credit card was charged for the full amount of both rooms again, even though the stay had already been prepaid, creating unnecessary confusion. The Executive Lounge was also underwhelming, with a very limited food and beverage selection that did not meet the standards I expect from a Grand Hyatt. For a luxury hotel, service should be exceptional, but it simply wasn't. While the building is attractive and the rooms are spacious, the overall guest experience did not justify the price or the five-star rating. There are better values in Xi'an, and based on our experience, I would choose another hotel on my next visit."
