Jin Jiang International Hotel Xi'an

In general, it was quite a good and relaxing stay. Lobby's beautiful and smells good. Hotel lounge is nice and peaceful. Western food is ok and food was served warm as per my request. In-door dining was ok as well. I asked for breakfast and they forgot to include a glass of orange juice and when I mentioned that to them through the phone, they gave me two glasses and apologised. Check in was ok. Staff told me that my room has not been organised so I had an upgrade and stayed in the executive lounge. Although the room doesn't really feel like it but it's comfortable enough. The room had quite some tricky switches for the lights and some are apparently not working. It shouldn't generally be like it and should be easy for guests and not be like a guessing game. For my first dinner, I didn't want to eat in my room but the staff pushed it a bit and even offered to bring a table but I was firm and said no. Their western cafe was closed then maybe because there weren't a lot of hotel clients. So they just offered to bring the food to the lounge which eased my disappointment. I felt like not all staff greet you when they see you or is it the culture of the host country? Probably. But I think being a 5 star hotel, it shouldn't be that way. My biggest disappointment was that their pool was under maintenance. They mentioned it through their website but of course some clients would not be able to check. Overall it's a good looking and comfortable hotel but I've stayed in better ones.

Stayed at this hotel by accident and it turned out to be graet value once we finally got there, but almost impossible to get to- especially from downtown X'ian. Do not recommend unless you have a driver, a car, or pre-arranged transportation, which can be extremely expensive!! Food and services within the hotel were also very expensive, which is a problem seeing that it is almost impossible to escape to eat somewhere else!!

Good. Overall nice place to stay with family. Friendly staff.

Nice installations, though very far away from everything, was a bit disappointed about breakfast as I had very high expectations due to the reviews I had seen....was nice but nothing exceptional. I was in Sanya Kempinsky recently and THAT was a breakfast buffet. The bar closes at 10pm!!!!!, which was unexpected too when we went for a night cap at 10:05. All in all, nice.
