Location: 90%

A shining point for this hostel is its location. It is right on the edge of the Muslim quarter of the Old Town which is a very popular place for tourists and a good place to get some tasty food. On top of that, it is in a very busy district with many restaurants, stores and ATM's. It is also within walking distance to some of the city's main sights including the Drum Tower.

The Extra Bad:

The rooms weren't very secure and they even had a sign on the door saying to make sure it was always locked. The place was so big that I can see how people might be able to get away with stealing stuff there.

Final Thoughts:

The Han Tang Inn was an alright place. The staff and location were great, but the room left quite a bit to be desired. I would recommend it for a short stay in Xi'an if you are on a budget.
