My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hilton Garden Inn Xian Bell Tower. There was a slight delay in checking our room on the first day as there were quite a number of quests checking in simultaneously. The front desk staff was apologetic but polite and did their best to arrange the logistics in an efficient and orderly manner. We had some complementary drinks and cookies while waiting for the room to be ready.
The highlights of our stays were definitely the breakfasts which had a variety of Western and Chinese cuisine. The kitchen staff are extremely friendly (Special mentions to Lucky and a couple of her colleagues - sorry for not remembering their name) who went the extra mile to serve us freshly cooked delicacies everyday. They even gave my daughter local souvenirs as a welcome gesture.
The hotel location is centrally convenient and walking distance to the famous Bell and Drum Towers which were surrounded by cafes and restaurants.
Amenities are great from gyms and laundry rooms to the automatic toilet with heater function which is most welcome in winter time!
Room cleanliness is well maintained by housekeeping who is prompt and accommodative with additional requests, e.g. extra mineral waters and cloth hangers.
The only minus side is the room wifi which has limited connectivity intermittently on our mobile phones. Oddly this is the same issue we faced when we stayed at a different hotel in Xian.
All in all, a pleasant stay in a Hilton standard hotel. Highly recommended for tourists visiting this ancient and beautiful city.
As it is in Wanda plaza building, located in the heart of old Yan'an city, it is very convenient in terms of shopping and lunch/ dinner. The view from the room was excellent as we selected ”Qingliangshan” view room. The entrance and lobby of the hotel is located actually on the 2nd floor it was a bit effort to take our suits cases but it was not a big deal. We stayed there for a night. A nightmare happened around 10:00pm. There was a big noise like construction from somewhere when we wanted to sleep. I claimed to the hotel but the noise continues until 11:10pm as construction work was ongoing at the Wanda plaza within same building. It was insane the hotel allowed construction work after 9:00pm and even we complained the hotel was unable to stop it for more than an hour. It was extremely bad experience there.
