Holiday Inn Xi'an Big Goose Pagoda

The breakfast was delicious, a lot of great options. The hotel was relatively centrally located, you'd be within a 10-minute drive or 40-minute walk from the centre of the city.

Though this is a Holiday Inn and a western chain, the staff spoke very little English. I chose to stay in a room that had access to the executive lounge, but when I arrived I was told that the lounge was being renovated. I wish I had known this before booking as this would have affected my decision.
