Han Tang Inn International Youth Hostel is the newer of the two sister hostels in Xi'an. The location is great, right next to the Drum Tower and Muslim Quarter, and one minute walk to the Bell Tower. There is a bus station right in front of the hostel and the train station is only ten minutes away. They offer free pick-up from the train station and a discount on room rates if you book in advance.
The bedrooms and beds are spotlessly clean. The rooms are spacious compared to other hostels. There are lockers in each room and there is no deposit required to get one. The bathrooms are also very clean although the hot water pressure could be better. You must turn on the water and wait five minutes to get hot water.
The staff is friendly and helpful. The reception also offers low-priced tours to Terra Cotta warriors, Panda Park and other tourist attractions in Xi'an.
The lounge is very cozy and smoking is allowed. There is a large-screen TV and DVD in the restaurant/lounge with many DVD movies to borrow and watch for free. There are also plenty of books and games to borrow. There are computers with high-speed internet connection in the restaurant/lounge and the first hour is free.
The food at the hostel's restaurant is fantastic and inexpensive compared to other hostels. Their western American/English breakfast is excellent. Mr. Kim, the Korean staff member, is probably the friendliest person you'll ever meet.
