The walls don't insulate sound very well, you can hear your neighbours, but it was usually rather quiet

Everything was great: Super easy check-in, nice facilities and the hostel lady gave us very good recommendations on where to eat. Thank you for putting in so much effort!

Very nice and fresh

From the moment we arrived at the coffee shop below the Hostel, we were warmly welcomed and offered any help that we required including helping carry our bags up to our room. The room and facilities are great value for money so if you're looking for an affordable place to stay in Xi'an that is close to everything, then I highly recommend East Coast Coffee Inn.

The bathroom is tiny. There is not enough table space and chairs.

The staff is very nice. Our train was late at night, she waited for us until very late. She gave us clear instructions on how to get to the room, and good suggestions on exploring around. The location is very good and quiet. The value is is good for family and a group of friends.

Helpful and accomodating English-speaking staff, comfortable room which I didn't want to leave, location within the historic city walls so not too far from all the places you want to see. There's a lovely beer and BBQ joint next door. Of the two places I stayed in Xi'an, this was definitely the best!

Beds weren't the comfiest

The location as great, coffee shop right below. Dorm rooms were private and spacious. Best hostel vibe we have stayed in. Lovely and responsive staff

Staff were great and very accommodating. Only negative I have is that the mattresses are a bit thin. Otherwise, everything is great, very central to attractions and lots of restaurants around in the area. Definitely recommended.

Hard to find

Clean, price

Note the type of mattress before you book. Nothing wrong with them but they are not western style so investigate so you are aware before arriving.

Excellent location. Clean room. Friendly staff.

The towels provided for showering were too small

Fantastic place. I'd stay there again.

The hotel was located near to the metro station, which made it easy for commute around Xian.

My room (I think all rooms have this but not entirely sure) had a futon bed (thin mattress directly on the floor), so this may not be to everybody’s liking

The host was amazing with so much communication on we chat and great advice. and a great location - near the metro (I got 3 day unlimited metro travel pass for £4 - just go to ticket booth and ask - you can also get 7 days - the metro is amazing and you can go anywhere including airport and train station. ….also right on the old city wall …..

There was nothing at all lacking here, Ms Wu picked a perfect spot in China's oldest most historic Capital. Just opposite the Temple but 100 meters to your right as you look at the Temple frontage, is a tiny Tibettan Tea House, soft cushions, charging for phones. The works.

This Hostel is simply outstanding. I have had 31 days travel in China on this trip. I have stayed at hundreds of different hotels and hostels during 12 years travelling and working away from the UK over the last 30 years. Miss Lu, who runs East Coast Coffee Inn has been the best host I have ever encountered. The hostel is spotlessly clean, situated just across a quiet road by the Xi an city wall. It is a four minute walk to the Tibettan Guangren Temple. From there it is just another short walk to the City gate. Immediately left and you can stroll along by the canal and river where trees and very well kept gardens give a lovely evening atmosphere with singles, couples and families enjoying themselves. Many evenings women meet up and dance for a couple of hours to music from their recorder. Maybe 50 maybe 30 maybe more. It varies. But they dance classic and modern, fast and slow. In the morning others gather to spend time in Tai Chi. It is a fascinating sight. The hostel is super modern, Ms Wu uses the Internet to give you as many locations, all on maps ready to go, as you need. The water at the hostel is piping hot all day. Busses run from by the Temple. Next door to her are a totally delicious BBQ restaurant with a big, low cost menu. On the other side is her Coffee shop. The situation, though central to the best places to go to, is very quiet so you sleep like a log. I came to China for the history, culture and food. Ms Wu put me in touch with Mariano who took me on a tour. He has 2 majors, Spanish and English. His knowledge of Chinese culture and History is amazing. Really deep and good information flowed non stop for the afternoon. He is well worth trying to hire if he is available and his area knowledge saves you so much wasted time and money. Honestly his tour, tailored to you is very cheap but seriously Interesting. There are plenty of washing machines and dryers, 4 of each, all new on each floor. Soap powder supplied and all free.

The location is fantastic. The hotel is across from the city wall and in the same corner as the big temple.

Room was cold first night (weren't advised to use the heater rather than aircon) Couldn't get in, had to ask restaurant owner to ring for us. Room was pretty but bed linen was cheap and not warm enough

Friendly young girl let us in. Near to ancient wall.

The beds were like rocks. Also when we were there it was cold and we had a hard time to keep the room warm.

Great location. Staff were very nice
