Customer review rating 4.5/5

Xiang Q. Solo - Confirmed reviews ALL

It was my first ever experience to stay at a Sofitel Legend property and it did live up to its many accolades. The checkin process was a breeze and I was accompanied to my room which is also very elegantly decorated. The hotel itself is located in the center of Xi'an and in the neighborhood of the Muslim community which is home to a lot of great restaurants and many tourist spots. The dining experience also is quite pleasant as you get to enjoy every happy hour in lobby lounge and honestly, it was a blast. Breakfast provides you with many options. Because of the pandemic, you get to order from a menu for breakfast instead of in the form of a buffet. The breakfast menu offers a variety of local snacks among an extended list of options. Overall, my first experience at Sofitel Legend is wonderful and memorable and makes me want to come back in no time.

The staff working in the hotel is kind and helpful. However, the room service dish was not satisfactory. In addition, the breakfast was not satisfactory either.

David I. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

Our stay at the People’s Grand was exceptional. Attentive and personal service and a sophisticated and yet tranquil ambience. We loved the daily cocktail hour. We particularly loved the historical features - the museum was a highlight - but also the modern amenities. The swimming pool with its view of the gardens was a favourite of my younger daughter. In addition to providing excellent service, the hotel enjoys a favourable location and is in easy walking distance of the wall, the Muslim quarter and the park. A great stay.

Well located, quite friendly service and disappointing experience

Customer review rating 2.5/5

Anonymous Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel enjoys a prime location and convenient transport. Was delighted to be upgraded to a suite on arrival. The room was nice and clean. Friendly butler service. Exceptional turndown service. Very disappointed to find few options for breakfast. There was mould on the blueberries. Not many coffee or bakery offers to select from. Not satisfied with the laundry service. Too clumsy and poured myself with coffee at breakfast . It was just a one-day staycation, so I didn’t take extra clothes with me. I wondered whether the dress can be ready before checking out and checked with a gentleman at the front desk. He said it would be alright if I pay extra 50% for the dry clean. The hotel was fully booked on that day. The butler reminded me to check out before 12pm. Yet the dress was not ready when we have to leave. It was so embarrassing when checking out without proper clothing. Received the clean dress that afternoon. I would say it is not an ideal place for staycation. Not a good place for luxury-hotel-breakfast lovers either.

Dear Ms. R., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Sofitel Legend Peoples Grand Hotel Xian.

services were ok. some room equipment is not luxury standard, e.g. no intelligent toilet, no blue tooth speaker. actually, no need for guest toilet at all in 60 square meters rooms as the living room is so crowd, the chair would bump into the tea table once you sit on it. the bed angle is sticking out, hit my shank. went to gym, the lights were not on in the changing room, took times to find the switch.

Friendly staffs with attention to details. Two things stand out during my stay; first, wife missed breakfast because she was too exhausted from all the walking and your staff (the beautiful pregnant lady) directed the server to paperbag some assortment if buns and fruits for me to take back to the room; second, staff sent a cake and roses to our room to help celebrate wife birthday. Small gestures but big impact on attention to details and warm caring. Great place like home and a group of fantastic staffs. Will be back soon as still more attractions yet to visit in Xian.

Martin Jeffrey W TripAdvisor review

I have been in and out of China since 1976, visiting all provinces including Tibet and have stayed at many fine hotels throughout the country. For many years my top choice was the Peace Hotel on Shanghai"s Bund. But since it opened The Peoples Grand Hotel has been my favourite hotel in China. Excellemy facilities, excellent location, a very stylish hotel very well managed with extremely efficient and very friendly staff.

Gogo7137 Friends getaway - TripAdvisor review

Located in the heart of Xi'an Old City, with huge Garden and quiet environment. The Staffs are well trained and friendly. The buffet breakfast is normal and no so much choices, I think the opposite Sofitel could offer better one.(Because I also stay in the Sofitel in before). I could give at least "Very Good" rating if I'm not an AccorHotels Platinum member. The reason for "Average" rating is I did not feel so much "welcome" in this hotel as a Platinum member, especially, when other Accor Hotels always offer room upgrade and this one REFUSE me because the one grade higher than my booking is " a suite which too big to upgrade". ..

Dear Gogo7137, Thank you for your review. We are sorry to know that the stay didn't meet your expectation, especially the Le Club experience. It is our goal to make all guests feel welcome, would it be possible for us to get some more detailed information, such as your dates of stay and room number, so that we could investigate on what you commented? Yours sincerely, Ivy Wang Guest Experience Manager
