8/9/2023 0 Comments Xian yi jing garden hotel![]() ![]() It is comfortable and the food is varied, they even make very good themed meals (I play one from Italy that made it quite well). (Translated by Google) Very good hotel in a central place of Xi'an. ![]() The hotel is conveniently located in the new norther district of the octet, and is quickly and smoothly reachable from the airport. I felt cared and just wanted to express my appreciation of the gesture here. Later I found out that it was a local contraction project, but the manager apologized to me personally the next morning, and gifted me with a wonderful Buffett dinner at the property, despite the cutting not being their fault. I called the floor and inquired about it, and after 20 mins or so it the cutting stopped. I am very sensitive about the smell, but it didn’t bother me so I think in general it should be unnoticeable.Ī special note should be made about an incident I experienced: on the second night around 1AM someone started cutting trees outside of the hotel, which was disturbingly loud. The only downside I remember was that the room still had a little bit of that new house smell, just enough to be noticeable but not repelling. The bed, view, curtain control etc were all very good and easy to use. The tub was very pleasant light looking and had a nice texture, which is probably due to the special material (non-ceramic). In fact, it used this multi-door design that I haven’t seen in other IHG properties, which creates a sense of spatial compartmentalization inside the otherwise standard room shape. The room is very comfortable and well-designed. I got the basic room but being a platinum I was upgraded to the next tier, which frankly was more than I needed. The staff are well-trained and professional, maintaining that sense of hospitality but also appropriately and politely distant, which I appreciate a lot. The property is very new, and all facilities speak to that. I stayed at this property for three nights for a business trip. Honestly if you don't like the Gran Melia you probably won't like any hotel. We got upgraded to Red level which was fantastic! The breakfast bar was one of the best I've ever had even compared to American hotels. The beds were so comfortable (Xi'an custom is to sleep on a VERY hard mattress) So this is a bonus and compared to other Chinese hotels its HUGE. Our food came out at the same time and was cooked perfecting at both restaurants. The staff are friendly and helpful and the service is outstanding. I felt like I was in a totally different place. In most Xi'an restaurants your food won't come out at the same time, service is not the same as other western places and people don't go out of their way to help you.Īt the Gran Melia its completely different. I've read a few reviews complaining about service or timeliness of food and what you have to realize is that Xi'an in general is a little "behind the times" as far as international expectations go. The restaurants Duo and Mercado were fantastic and the Spa was incredible. The Gran Melia was exactly what we needed to renew our energy. We are both expat teachers in Xi'an and needed a little stay-cation. ![]() I stayed at the Gran Melia with my friend to enjoy our Chinese New Year holiday break. That said, it was a very good hotel, I had a very enjoyable stay and would stay again. Once again you can overcome the English challenge but one does expect higher level of English competency in a 5 star hotel The bar in the lobby is also very nice with a very good range of food and drinks all of which are served hot (bar the drinks they are cold!).Īgain with this hotel, bar the check in staff, there was also a lack of English speaking staff. They also do a take away breakfast if you are leaving the hotel early for a flight. It was very enjoyable and a great start to the day. In the other room it was broken and we had the room changed to a suite (although that was well handled by the hotel the new rooms A/C only worked in the bedroom and not the living room).īreakfast is served in their all day dining restaurant and it was very good with a very wide range of options (Asia and Western) all of which where being made to fresh during the service. My one concern is that the A/C is not powerful at all. The bathroom is good again, there is a bath tub with a walk in shower which is nice. My room had two double beds that were comfortable and allowed for a good, restful nights sleep (pillows are very soft although I am sure you can ask for a firmer one). The rooms where good, they where not the largest but still very clean and neat. This was the second hotel that we stayed in during our stay in China and it was a very good one. ![]()
