Used this hotel during short 2 day visit to Xian. It was found for me by my Chinese associates and turned out to be a good choice for a short city visit. The Fukai is right in the heart of the city. The main shopping street is 5 mins away with all the restaurants etc.
The drive to the Warriors site took us about 45 mins by car. There is a small tourist office in the lobby The hotel is not set up specifically for Western tourists but the staff were very helpful and really enjoyed speaking English. The rooms are modern and look new and very clean and a lttle funky.
They have a modular glass bathroom no bath in my room just a shower arrangement which is unusual, flat screen TV and PC in the room with free internet connection which was useful. The food was okay, breakfast was basic and the dinners typical Chinese but has picture menu so you will not starve. One note of caution the hotel does not change currency but there are plenty of banks and cash machines about. The room rate was very reasonable for the the standard of hotel.
I would recomend this hotel for a short vist to Xian but not as a permanent base for the area I would recomend this hotel for a short vist to Xian but not as a permanent base for the area if you are staying a week or so. Good value for money and good location. This was a very good value hotel for me.
My room was clean and modern. I suspect the renovations were done within the last two years. The bathroom is a little tight, but there is adequate counterspace and the rainfall showerhead was certainly a nice touch. Like many Chinese hotels, the Fukai hotel beds are very firm. If you're a light sleeper - heck, if you can't sleep through construction noises - you may want to request a room that faces the inner courtyard because the Fukai is near a government building and they blare the music, which includes the national anthem 2X , at about AM every morning.
