Centrally located in Xi'an, Honglu Garden Hotel is set just beside Xi'an City Wall, only a 5-minute walk from the Zhuque Gate and a 15-minute walk from Yongningmen Subway Station.

The hotel is in a fantastic location directly opposite the old city wall. We found it a little confusing on arrival as there is no obvious name outside and the front looks slightly different than in the pictures. As two British travellers with no Mandarin language skills we could communicate with staff very easily through translation apps. Our room was on the top floor which we would recommend as that allowed us to see the top of the wall and beyond, rooms lower down seemed likely to just have a view of the wall. Room was clean and spacious, although lacked wardrobe space. The shower appears to leak under the floor and it and the toilet had confusing controls. Appreciated the free self service washing machine and dryer.

    Right in the heart of muslim quarter. Great location, easy walking distance from the metro stop. Great local street food, highly recommended if you want an authentic stay in china. Great host, friendly and helpful. Helpful to have an English speaker too!

    Excellent hostel, clean and comfortable with super facilities. There were loads of staff, all helpful. Dorm beds are comfortable and the guests were observing the quiet hours. Shower and toilet blocks were big and kept very clean. The hostel has a bar and does a great value breakfast. There was music performances in the evening. Location is perfect - just beside the Bell Tower and shops and metro station. Best hostel I've stayed in.

    We loved the design of the hostel, was super cleaned and the breakfast was fine. Was posible to take water, fruit and some snacks for free, what was super convenient! Close to the city center and the staff spoke a little english.

    Surprisingly large hostel with great common space (bar, stage for live music). Beds are very comfortable (not super solid). Very well-located, cheap and with many other friendly guests!

    It's a great location, you can see the bell tower from the hostel, and the front desk staff are always smiling, especially Jia, who tells me about the local food.

    This was a really really great hostel and I don't think I'd have found much better in Xi'an for the price. It's clean, the staff are super friendly and will chat with you. It's in a good location close to a metro station that goes straight to the city centre in 5 minutes and also some fast food shops and a mini supermarket. The showers and bathroom area are also nice and clean.
