Desti Youth Park Hostel (Xi'an Bell Tower)

I definitely recommend this hostel! I booked a ten people room because I wanted enough space to leave my suitcase on the floor. At first I was unsure whether that's too many people in one room, but everything is so big and clean, I prefer this over other hostels I've been in! Overall the hostel is very clean and they have great accommodation. There is a big common area (sometimes a bit loud though) where they even have live music sometimes. They also have a quieter reading room. The bathroom and showerroom are very clean and spacious. Another great thing is the reception. They are all very friendly and fluent in English! When I wanted to add one more night, Cindy was so nice and booked it for me in less than 2 minutes! The only thing that could be better is the ventilation in rooms. In my room the air felt a bit "stuffy" sometimes. I also had some problems with the WiFi in the common room area, at times it was very slow. I definitely recommend this hostel to anyone who wants to stay in Xi'An for a while! Because I had such a great experience here, I also booked the Desti hostel in Chengdu for my next travel.

Wow! I am absolutely blown away by this hostel. First of all, I want to give a shoutout to the receptionist, Xiao Xiao. She went above and beyond with everything, answered all my questions and made me feel extremely welcomed, she was also quite funny and sociable. The actual place itself was BY FAR the best hostel i’ve ever stayed in. It has everything and more you want in a hostel, aside the location being extremely convenient (right next to the Bell Tower, and really yum food close by), the rooms and common areas were not just clean, but cozy and had a calm and relaxing vibe. They had nice music playing, a pool table! and chill spaces. The amenities were also good, I LOVE that they provided us with actual, nice towels, and free water. Toilets were clean, but the highlight were the showers. I’ve stayed at 8 places during my China trip, but the showers here were easily the best out of everywhere. High pressure and actually hot water! If you’re visiting Xi’an as a solo traveller, backpacker, or are just looking to stay in a hostel, I highly, highly, highly recommend this place! By far the best hostel i’ve stayed in, amazing location, great amenities, clean and aesthetic public spaces, and dedicated staff that go above and beyond! :)

Great location, just a short walk from the subway station. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable.
