Fodor's Expert Review Grand Metropark Hotel Xian
158 Dong Dajie, Xian, Shaanxi, 710001, China
Although there are newer luxury properties, people return to the Grand Metropark because of its friendly staff, most of whom speak some English, and its central location. Near the most popular sights, it's within walking distance of the Bell Tower and the East Gate. The guest rooms are smaller and more drab than rooms at other comparably priced hotels, and are definitely in need of refurbishment. The beds, though, are plenty comfortable, and the large windows provide great city views.
PROS
- walking distance to the city's sights
- ample breakfast spread
- several restaurant options inside and nearby
CONS
- breakfast overpriced if not included in room rate
- music in the atrium lobby can be annoying
- rooms show signs of age
