Xi'an, an ancient and charming city, exudes historical essence in every inch of its land. During my stay at Novotel Xi'an Bell Tower Hotel (Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Muslim Quarter location), I experienced a unique French-style journey in the bustling heart of this ancient city. Location: Prime Spot, Worry-Free Travel The hotel's location is truly exceptional. As soon as you exit Metro Line 2 and Line 6 "Bell Tower Station" Exit H, you can see the hotel's prominent sign. A few minutes' walk takes you to the renowned Bell Tower, Drum Tower, and the Muslim Quarter is just steps away. In the morning, opening the window, you can almost hear the echoes of historical bell tolls and glimpse the ancient city walls. In the evening, strolling through the Muslim Quarter, sampling various specialty foods and experiencing the lively atmosphere of the streets, returning to the hotel is just a moment's journey away—extremely convenient. Guest Rooms: Stylish Comfort, Thoughtful Details Stepping into the guest room, you're greeted by stylish and cozy furnishings. The room's decor blends French simplicity and elegance. As the smart curtains slowly open, sunlight floods the room, creating a warm feeling. The specially customized bed is soft and comfortable—lying on it feels like being wrapped in clouds, ensuring a good night's sleep. The bathroom with separate wet and dry areas and smart toilet facilities are fully equipped, with every detail showcasing the hotel's quality. The toiletries emit a subtle fragrance and are of superior quality, making one feel completely at ease. Dining: Diverse Cuisine, A Feast for the Palate The hotel's all-day dining restaurant is a delightful surprise. The breakfast selection is so abundant it's overwhelming, featuring both Western delights like French bread and ham, as well as Chinese specialties such as Xi'an's famous Roujiamo (meat in bun) and spicy soup. The ingredients are fresh and the cooking exquisite—every bite reflects careful preparation. The lobby bar's coffee aroma permeates the air, and paired with delicate pastries, sitting by the window in the afternoon watching the comings and goings of the ancient city outside is truly a pleasure. Service: Attentive and Thorough, A Home Away from Home The hotel staff are warm and professional. From the welcoming smiles at check-in, to actively helping with luggage, to patiently answering questions about surrounding attractions and food options—all demonstrate meticulous care. The hotel also offers various special services such as airport pickup and car-hailing, saving guests considerable trouble when traveling. The 24-hour gym and free self-service laundry facilities greatly convenience guests' daily needs. Facilities: Comprehensive and Complete, Meeting All Needs The hotel's facilities are very comprehensive. Though the 24-hour gym isn't large, it offers a complete range of equipment that satisfied my daily fitness needs. The children's play area is full of fun elements where families with children can enjoy quality time together. The free parking service is also very thoughtful for self-driving guests. This stay at Novotel Xi'an Bell Tower Hotel (Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Muslim Quarter location) allowed me to experience the romance and elegance of French style while immersing in Xi'an's profound historical and cultural heritage.
