Simple Capsule Home (Xi'an Shu Yuan Men)

The lady that runs it is nice and friendly, the location is very good, and it is very cheap. At the end of the day its a bed for the night so will do the job. However, it's nothing like most of the photos (see my photos for proof). It says there's 2 bathrooms but the 'second' is only accessed through the owner's bedroom and only has a toilet, the public one wasn't that nice and had some queues even in quiet season. Freezing cold showers when its -3°c outside were awful. The capsule is big enough, although don't expect any soundproofing, and the bed is basically a thin mat so not comfortable at all. It was hard to find; you have to call the owner to give you directions and let you in (I don't have a Chinese phone number so had to ask some kind strangers), and didn't get a response to messages I sent in advance asking for access code. Some of the 4-5* reviews here are clearly for different hotels (as seen by pics) so overall rating should be lower imo. Its difficult because its clear the lady is running this in her home and it's her livelihood, and she is very sweet, so I don't want to critique it too much, but honestly wouldn't stay again. You're literally staying in her apartment (that's been 'converted' by adding some capsules). It's very 'simple' as the title suggests, so I didn't have high expectations, but it is not as advertised in pictures, hard to find and an uncomfortable stay. It's fine for a night or two but I stayed 4 and would rather have payed a few yuan extra to stay somewhere nicer. Honestly, 2/5 is generous I'm sorry.

Excelent and affordable place to live but the only problem is its was very hard to find the location .. its was on the 2nd floor while i was searching on the street.. overall the it was very clean and very good … the boss was very friendly … very nice lady ..

There are too many people sleeping in this place to only have a small bathroom for 30 or more of them.

Dirty place

房間舒適，環境優美。

非常方便的民宿！又方便又便宜。位置蠻好，在西安中心，但是這家民宿很難找，因為路上沒有什麼牌子指着民宿在哪裡。裡邊也要修理一下走廊和衞生間。我主要喜歡，以足回來，因為蠻方便，但是願意民宿更好一點了
