The Bell Tower Hotel (Zhonglou Fandian) lays claim to the best location in Xian, just across from the Bell Tower and within easy walking distance of the city wall and plenty of restaurants, great street food vendors and shops. Though the rooms could use a renovation, they're clean and comfortable. Service is decent and the breakfast is too, though the Western fare is often not up to the level of freshness and quality of the Chinese dishes. In the end, the location makes the Bell Tower an outstanding choice for visitors who want to be in the middle of Xian's bustling center.
