Bell Tower Hotel

Top choice in Xi'an


Right by the Bell Tower in the centre of downtown, this decent 300-plus-room, four-star hotel has been in business for more than three decades. The expansive foyer is all marble, gloss and the occasional dash of kitsch; rooms are comfortable but rather dated, while staff are pleasant and welcoming. The pricier ¥1200 doubles look directly onto the Bell Tower.

In the low-season, you can get a room here for around ¥400.
