Xi'an Facebook Youth Hostel (Zhonglou Metro Station Branch)

The place is really well located, it would be perfect if it wasn’t for the bad smell of cigarettes in all the common areas. The room doesn’t smell thought.

The hostel is not far from the Bell tower and other touristic places. Dormitory was clean. Staff members are also very nice and helpful (what to visit in XiAn, how to get to the main touristic places, where to eat, and so on). Price for a bed in a female dorm is very reasonable. Great stay for me as a solo traveler.

I don’t advise international travellers to stay in this hostel. it’s not a typical hostel in the American/European sense. It’s a hostel for local students, etc. You won’t be able to communicate in English and make friends here. There is no kitchen, communal spaces are shabby, overall hostel interior is dark and more rugged. I booked a separate room with double bed for 4 nights, but I didn’t sleep even one night there. The advantages are central location, friendly and helpful staff (even though they don’t speak English), big and clean bed, clean curtains. The disadvantages prevailed though. The place smells bad: the kitchen area smells of cigarettes because it’s allowed to smoke inside, the corridor smells of fish, my room smelt of dampness and mold. The room was shabby and ragged, dirt spots on the walls, hairs on the toilet seat, stained mirrors, horrible old shower curtain with stains of black mold. Overall not a nice place to stay in.

Foreign female opinion. It was a bit hard to find. Behold taxi cant drop you at the main door and will leave you at a paralell road. Better arrive early to be able to look for it and find it. If you show thebpicture of the main door, people around there might help you find it. Other than that, its a very central location. There is a good balance quality/ price. Its cheap so dont expect too much. But i had a queen room, it had a private bathroom. Room was ok, bathroom was average. The place smells overall a bit to cigarrets but i would say finally its ok and I would go back.

It was a nice stay, the staff was really friendly. Easy to check in. The location is great at the heart of Xi’an close to everything you want.. night life, museums and all what you’re looking for in Xi’an

Very nice staff and good location not far from Bell tower
