Center Hotel Xi'an Bell Tower
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
A strong booking for travellers who want a central, well-rated four-star base in Xi'an at a modest price. Skip it if a Western breakfast and good coffee matter to your mornings, as guests find both lacking.

This is our Best Value pick in Xi'an. It suits first-time visitors, couples and anyone who wants to walk to the Bell Tower area and the Muslim Quarter. Guests say staff use translation apps to help, which is useful if you do not speak Chinese.
If you rely on a Western breakfast, think about eating out. Guests say the breakfast is generous but mostly Asian, with few Western options and poor coffee.
Location and getting around
The address is No. 619 East Street, Beilin District. Location scores 9.9 out of 10, the strongest number on its profile. Guests describe a central setting near the Bell Tower, the Muslim Quarter, shopping malls and restaurants.
The Great Mosque of Xi'an is about 1.1 km away, around 14 minutes on foot. The Small Wild Goose Pagoda is 2.3 km, about 29 minutes, which is a long but manageable walk. The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda is 4.5 km, around 56 minutes. That one is far, so take public transport or a taxi.
Walking times are straight-line estimates. Real routes can be longer, so check a map.
What guests say
The score is 9.1 out of 10 from 527 reviews. Location is the headline, as above. Staff are described as friendly, and guests mention them using translation apps to help with luggage and transport.
The main complaint is breakfast. The Asian selection is called generous, but Western options are limited and the coffee gets poor marks. The hotel lists the breakfast as Asian and buffet.
Price and what you get, compared with our other picks
We saw a reference price of €42.08 per night, about €84 for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates. That was 17% below the sample median of €50.45.
Our Budget pick, Days Inn Xi'an City Center, was €23.45 per night with an 8.5. Our Luxury pick, Eastern House Xi'an, was €58.14 with a 9.2 and five stars. This hotel sits between them: about €19 more than the Budget pick for a higher score, and about €16 less than the Luxury pick for a score just 0.1 lower. The property lists a restaurant, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 14 eligible properties in Xi'an, and this one placed joint fifth on review score. Our Best Value slot balances the guest score, the number of reviews and the reference price. It is not necessarily the cheapest option. A 9.1 from 527 reviews below the median price made the case.
Before you book

Confirm whether breakfast is included in your rate, and decide whether it is worth it given the comments. Parking is not listed in our data, so ask if you plan to drive. If you have questions in English, staff reportedly use translation apps, but it is still worth sending key requests in writing.
