Hi folks!

Please suggest an hotel close to the train station up to $US15. I am leaving Chengdu in two days and will be leaving Xian two days later for Xining so close to the station would be great. As always many thanks for your help.

Dont worry for hotels at the trainstation, tourist hunters will find you even before you left the station;-)
But the places around the trainstations are bad, many hairdresser shops;-) except some really good streetkitchens......
I dont remember the name of the place I stayed - but actually it is not worth remembering because we later changed to a much nicer and also cheaper place right at the South Gate of the City Wall.
It is the CHUYUAN Hostel Phone: (29)-7287721. It is situated right at the NanMen - the South Gate of the City Wall. Take Bus No. 603 from the railwaystation to the South Gate. Walk to the right side of the Gate, just before passing through the Wall take the last alley on the right side - it is a small path only for one car at a time. Less than 50 meters and you will find this great place.
Everything is in an retro old traditional style, really cute. Employees are very young and helpful. They are all dressed in traditional clothes which fit to the architecture of the building.
They are also quite flexible with prices - a double room cost us 100 yuan.
They also offer a nice cuisine for afordable prices, even though I always prefer the streetkitchens throughout the Muslim Quarter.
The location is just perfect, when you get out of the Hotel doors you run right into the Great City Wall! You can not get any closer with your bed!
It is only a five to ten minutes walk to the Bell tower, the center of the old city.
Enjoy your stay!

Welcome to Xi'an! I have to agree with ELCABRON, the situation around train station are not very good. The CHUYUAN Hostel may provide you more comfortable accomodation. You can find their information in the official website: http://www.yhachina.com/english/index.html
Don't worry about the distance to train station, it's not very far away. Anyway, Xi'an is not as big as Shanghai or Beijing. So it may not take you too much time to get there.
Enjoy!
