Our stay at the People’s Grand was exceptional. Attentive and personal service and a sophisticated and yet tranquil ambience. We loved the daily cocktail hour. We particularly loved the historical features - the museum was a highlight - but also the modern amenities. The swimming pool with its view of the gardens was a favourite of my younger daughter. In addition to providing excellent service, the hotel enjoys a favourable location and is in easy walking distance of the wall, the Muslim quarter and the park. A great stay.

Well located, quite friendly service and disappointing experience

Customer review rating 2.5/5

Anonymous Couples - 14/06/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel enjoys a prime location and convenient transport. Was delighted to be upgraded to a suite on arrival. The room was nice and clean. Friendly butler service. Exceptional turndown service. Very disappointed to find few options for breakfast. There was mould on the blueberries. Not many coffee or bakery offers to select from. Not satisfied with the laundry service. Too clumsy and poured myself with coffee at breakfast . It was just a one-day staycation, so I didn’t take extra clothes with me. I wondered whether the dress can be ready before checking out and checked with a gentleman at the front desk. He said it would be alright if I pay extra 50% for the dry clean. The hotel was fully booked on that day. The butler reminded me to check out before 12pm. Yet the dress was not ready when we have to leave. It was so embarrassing when checking out without proper clothing. Received the clean dress that afternoon. I would say it is not an ideal place for staycation. Not a good place for luxury-hotel-breakfast lovers either.

Dear Ms. R., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Sofitel Legend Peoples Grand Hotel Xian. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations, please allow me to express my sincerest apologies.

services were ok. some room equipment is not luxury standard, e.g. no intelligent toilet, no blue tooth speaker. actually, no need for guest toilet at all in 60 square meters rooms as the living room is so crowd, the chair would bump into the tea table once you sit on it. the bed angle is sticking out, hit my shank. went to gym, the lights were not on in the changing room, took times to find the switch.

Samuel Couples - 29/12/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Friendly staffs with attention to details. Two things stand out during my stay; first, wife missed breakfast because she was too exhausted from all the walking and your staff (the beautiful pregnant lady) directed the server to paperbag some assortment if buns and fruits for me to take back to the room; second, staff sent a cake and roses to our room to help celebrate wife birthday. Small gestures but big impact on attention to details and warm caring. Great place like home and a group of fantastic staffs. Will be back soon as still more attractions yet to visit in Xian.

Good housing environment

Customer review rating 4.0/5

A. Couples - 21/11/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

The room was upgraded to a junior suite with a birthday cake, which is much appreciated, and it indeed was a well-functioning and decorated living environment that suited us well. The small garden is also a resting place for walks for photos. Staff members are generally cordial and helpful. Swimming pool and the gym were not that big but seemed few people were using them, so still good enough. If there's anything that have room for improvement, I guess it was the delivery speed of some on-demand supplies such as drinking water and teabags, sometime taking as long as 20-30 minutes. Also the breakfast could have provided more choices, and the Chinese food restaurant was not as good as expected, which seems a bit fell behind luxury standards of its kind. Overall it's a good experience despite some small pities and we will choose it again for next visit to Xi'an.

Dear Mr. A., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Sofitel Legend Peoples Grand Hotel Xian. It gives us great pleasure to know that you've enjoyed your recent stay with us in general.

Decent service, boutique hotel

Customer review rating 5.0/5

Z Solo - 28/10/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Definitely enjoyed my stay at this historical yet boutique hotel with warm welcome and a private tour around the hotel by Wilson and Danny. Lobby and bar were cosy despite high occupancy rate during the weekend. Breakfast was a highlight too. Location is at the heart of the old city, making it convenient for city explorers. I've noticed a bunch of KOL marketing and package promotions on OTAs recently, so do hope the hotel doesn't sacrifice high quality while exercising cost control. Would love to come back for another stay.

We stayed for 2 nights in Sofitel Legend Xian. The hotel was located in a historic and elegant building, right at the centre of Xian. Our room was spacious and clean. The service of this hotel is flawless, with all staff trained to a very high standard. All concierge staff were knowledgeable about the local area and helped us a lot during our stay. Especially I'd like to thank Wilson Liu for his brilliant tour of the hotel. Although this is not the most affordable hotel in Xian, I still highly recommend it as this will definitely be a rememberable stay.

Martin Jeffrey W 21/01/2020 TripAdvisor review

I have been in and out of China since 1976, visiting all provinces including Tibet and have stayed at many fine hotels throughout the country. For many years my top choice was the Peace Hotel on Shanghai"s Bund. But since it opened The Peoples Grand Hotel has been my favourite hotel in China. Excellemy facilities, excellent location, a very stylish hotel very well managed with extremely efficient and very friendly staff.
