Nice hotel, but not something I’ll recommend to the elderly or if you’re looking for a lively environment. The hotel is within a compound of 3 different hotels, not easily accessible. My immediate feedback: 1) Secluded location 2) Long building, with breakfast in one end. So imagine if you’re staying at the other end of the hotel. 3) All the facilities like gym n swimming pool are not within the building. You’ll need to walk about 8min outdoors to Sofitel hotel to use the facilities. 4) Room is dated. The standard Queen size room is very small. I upgraded the room, as the original room felt uncomfortable. 5) Shower room floor is very slippery. I fell twice during my stay. 6) There’s constructions behind the hotel, which lasted until almost mid night. 7) Most of the staff didn’t smile. There’s that unwelcoming feeling each time I stepped into the hotel. 8) It’s important to pin the hotel correctly as there’s only one entrance. My cab dropped me off at the back gate and I had to walk 20min with my luggage in order to reach the hotel.

Good place to stay!

The hotel is not only outdated but decadent. Installations, rooms, facilities, appliances, breakfast and almost everything are not even close to a grand mercure standard. One day, in the middle of the night there was a power shortage in our room (electrical installation malfunction) and the emergency light was lit on our faces making it necessary to call maintenance before morning and wait for repairs. It has haf its glory days but today couldn't be classified anything above 3 stars. On the positive side the bed was very good and comfortable.

The building and the room has the old english theme which is very unique. i totally understand if the hotel management want to keep to the theme but some refurbishments are needed as the room look worn out i.e bathroom tiles, the cabinets, carpets. Overall, the room was clean and bed was comfortable.

When we arrived at 10pm we were greeted by a room upgrade with a welcome cake for our anniversary: simply magnificent: brilliant location, staff excellent all the time, impossible to rate other than as 10/10. Only one small item to comment on: more a cultural difference than anything: the fridge was not cold, probably because the locals like warm drinks including beer. However, plenty of ice freely available on request. In summary, we loved it.

Clean, convenient location, easy access to the subway.

The hotel and service is beyond great! Very quiet and clean. They offer a five star breakfast buffet that includes both local and International food options. Our family enjoys the food and service a lot during our stay. The hotel room is spacious and beautiful. We will definitely book the hotel again when we visit XI’An next time!

We loved the GM, traveling as a family of 4 with 2 rooms. The GM is aged royalty, a bit past her prime, but she remains elegant, graceful, and comfortable. Great hotel for the money. We would happily return.

Great customer service. Great room.

The room is not well lit and despite the temperature being hot this period, the AC was not working well. Hotel was well located and some of the tourist spots were within walking distance.

Worth the money

I think this was the best stay in the whole China trip for me. I enjoyed the place, shower & bath, comfortable bed, breakfast, and hospitality staff. The location was a bit distanced from the station but taxi makes a big difference to come back here. I wish Japanese restaurant was open but I enjoyed the Chinese restaurant at Sofitel as well.

Big bed.

Grand Mercury is a beautiful old world hotel with dark wooden decor in the rooms. We checked in easilly. I was a little disappointed to find out that all the restaurants and swimming pool were not in this hotel, they were within a complex of hotels and you had to cross the grounds to access the other hotels facilities. Eg the Italian restaurant in one restaurant and the bar and pool within the Sofitel which wasn’t great in depths of winter. The main negative therefore isn’t about this hotel but the changing rooms at Sofitel swimming pool. At first its very elegant, but when you enter female changing rooms it’s like a 1980s council provided changing room. Nowhere to hang your towel while you shower, no costume dryer, dilapidated fixtures with wallpaper mouldy and peeling. However my husband advises me the men’s was plush, had its own hot tub, sauna and massage beds. It makes one wonder about the type of establishment it is and the services provided, clearly more geared towards male travellers

We did not like that there was not a restaurant onsite except for breakfast, but the breakfast was excellent and they did have evening room service. I am in a wheelchair and there was a ramp into the hotel and easy access to the restaurant. The staff was fabulous, the room was wonderful and it is central if you are a walker.

Overall the property is good and clean. However, the disappointing part is with mosquitoes both in the lobby and rooms. Hotel Management did not make enough efforts to check and prevent the mosquito menace.

Nice, but small rooms (we had a queen). No restaurant in this hotel - except a breakfast buffet for extra $. There are restaurants in the Renmin Square complex which has multiple hotels grouped together. Pleasant enclave.

The property is in a very good location and the staff are very friendly. The rooms are a somewhat small and are a bit dated but overall a nice stay.

The room felt very cozy. The hotel is a five-minute walk from the residence park entrance.

, the bed are extremely uncomfortable,the bathtub was clogged,the hotel is not smoke free.
