Any recommendations for a good youth hostel in Xi'an? I might be visiting in Dec, sometime end of December so am looking for a convenient place to stay. Understand there are some pretty good youth hostel - such as Han Tang Inn, University Hostel, Xiangzimen Hostel etc.

Would very much appreciate some advice. Thanks.

PS: As it is in winter, please help recommend a hostel with good heating.

Xi'an Shuyuan Youth Hostel Bookmark this Hostel
Address:No.2, Jia, XiShunCheng Xiang, Da Nanmen Nei, Xi'an, China

I went to Xi'an last year, I stayed @ Shuyuan Youth Hostel. No complaints on my stay there. Dorm rooms are in the basement, restrooms and shower rooms are on the 1st floor. It's near the entrance of city walls and near the bus station to the tourist spots. Shower rooms and restrooms are clean.

Yeah, that's right, Shuyuan Youth Hostel is also a nice hostel with good location.

Yes, I had a great stay at SHUYUAN Hostel, too. It is situated right at the NanMen - the South Gate of the City Wall. Take Bus No. 603 from the railwaystation to the South Gate. Walk to the right side of the Gate, just before passing through the Wall take the last alley on the right side - it is a small path only for one car at a time. Less than 50 meters and you will find this great place.
Everything is in an traditional style, really cute. They also offer a nice cuisine for afordable prices, even though I always prefer the streetkitchens throughout the Muslim Quarter.
The location is just perfect, when you get out of the Hotel doors you run right into the Great City Wall! You can not get any closer with your bed!
It is only a five to ten minutes walk to the Bell tower, the center of the old city.
Enjoy your stay!

Hi, thanks guys for all your great advice. I'm booked my ticket to Beijing already as well as planned my trip. Hope all goes well. I'll try to put up some details, or at least pictures.
Thanks again!
