Shiyan Dufu Youth Hostel (Xi'an Bell and Drum City Wall) anmeldelser

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

The hostel location is great, it is within the Xi'An castle wall. Service is good and flexible. The only thing to improve is the toilet facility, no toilet paper is provided which will cause inconvenient.

I booked this hostel only because breakfast was included in the price. The first day I was given something absolutely disgusting and the second day I had to prove that I should have breakfast because they wouldn't give me any. Apart from that the hostel is very cool, friendly

We stayed here for two nights the staff was very nice and friendly and the location of hotel as like the mid of xian from where you can go every where very easily the environment is so good highly hygienic I really recommend it to the students and those who came in groups on trip

The staff is nice and helpful. However, the place is not so clean.

The showers and toilets were always dirty, there’s not even hand soap at the sink to wash your hands. The bunk beds were noisy and the top is open and mine had a ceiling light right above it, so when some inconsiderate person decides to turn the lights on in the middle of the night it shines right in your face.  They smoke in all the common areas. The toilet, the hallway, the lounge, the balcony, etc. so if you don’t smoke it’s pretty annoying.  They keep the laundry washer locked so people can’t use it without paying them first, which I get however it doesn’t allow the washer to dry and it smelled like mildew.  The top room with balcony was not worth it, there’s no real view and it’s just somewhere for people to smoke.  I paid CNY 216 for 3 nights (maybe because of the holiday) and I would say it’s worth about half of that. For the price I paid I would not recommend it and I would probably not stay here again unless it was much cheaper than other options.

The place is nice and confortable. The location is very convenient and the staff is nice and helpful

Loved this Xi'an hostel! Perfect location—super close to the city wall ， Clean dorms with privacy curtains, super friendly staff 。

From the moment I stepped in, I fell in love with the artsy decor! The walls are covered in local artists' paintings, and the rooftop garden with fairy lights is pure magic at night.

The location couldn't be better! Just a 5-minute walk to hepingmen, and surrounded by cool cafes and street food stalls.

The dormitory was clean, cozy, and the beds had privacy curtains + individual charging ports – perfect for budget travelers who value both comfort and functionality.

I recently stayed at shisandufu and it was absolutely fantastic! The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. They even helped me plan my daily itinerary with local tips!

Best hostel experience ever! Perfect mix of cleanliness, social vibes and convenience. 10/10 would recommend to backpackers!

Loved the communal area! Clean rooms, easy access to metro. Will definitely stay here again!
