Shuyuan Youth Hostel
What the experts agree on
Xi'an's best budget hostel occupies a restored courtyard mansion with genuine character and welcoming vibe. Historic charm, social atmosphere, and prime location near the city walls make it worth the ramshackle quirks.
“Of the various hostels in Xi'an, this is the best choice. A restored courtyard residence, it formerly housed the Xianyang County government.”
– Frommer's
"Laid out around three large courtyard inside the city wall, attention to detail is evident in the Ming-style decorations of this beautifully restored traditional residence."
"Owned by the Hantang team, who may or may not have plans to commandeer the whole city, this is an appealingly ramshackle hostel facing the city walls."
"The longest-running hostel in Xi'an, this converted residence has three lovely courtyards, and a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere" Full review
