I ran into Todd(NZ), one of the owners, on the street while wandering around Xi'an and it turned out to be the best stroke of luck I had in that city. The place was comfortable and the atmosphere friendly, unlike a lot of big hostels. Mei(China), the other owner, even helped to book my plane ticket to Shanghai. The location of the hostel is also convenient--right in the center of town, near the Bell Tower--so it's pretty easy to get around. The Muslim quarter and Drum Tower are also well within easy walking distance.If i were to travel to Xi'an again I would definitely stay here. I've already recommended it to a few people that I've met in my travels elsewhere in China.
