Unbelievable Xi'an Hotel Deal: TOWO Topping Hotel Review!

Unbelievable Xi'an Hotel Deal: TOWO Topping Hotel Review! (Brace Yourselves, It's a Wild Ride!)

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from a Xi'an adventure (and a serious nap) fueled by the TOWO Topping Hotel. And let me tell you, reviewing this place is like trying to herd cats after a double shot of espresso. There's just so much going on. So, grab a map (you'll need it) and let's dive headfirst (or maybe feet-first in the foot bath – spoiler alert!) into this chaotic, yet undeniably intriguing, review!

The Gist (Because, Honestly, You Just Want the TL;DR): TOWO Topping Hotel is a sprawling, multi-faceted, and frankly, slightly overwhelming experience. Expect all the bells, whistles, and probably a few unexpected kazoo solos. It's a solid option, especially if you're craving… well, everything. But let's break it down, shall we?

Accessibility: A Mixed Bag (Like Life!)

Okay, so let's be real, accessibility is crucial. I'm not in a wheelchair myself, but I always look for places that cater to everyone. The website claims facilities for disabled guests, but the nitty-gritty details are a little vague. There's an elevator (phew!), and I did see some ramps. But, folks, always call ahead to verify. Don't just take my word for it.

Things to do, & How to Relax: Spa-tacular (And Maybe a Bit Squishy?)

Oh boy, where do I even BEGIN? TOWO Topping is a spa-and-fitness-lovers paradise.

• Pool with View: Check. Absolutely stunning at sunset. The views of the city were gorgeous. Took a dip, felt fantastic!
• Sauna, Spa, Steamroom: ALL PRESENT AND accounted for! Spent a whole afternoon sweating out the noodles and jet lag in the sauna. Glorious.
• Fitness Center: Now, I meant to hit the gym. I really did. But that foot bath…

The Foot Bath: My Personal Nirvana (And My Biggest Hotel Flaw)

Here's the kicker. I fell in love with the foot bath. I spent a ridiculous amount of time there. It’s a little spot of heaven after walking around all day. Yes, it's a little cheesy, BUT I'm not gonna lie, I could have stayed there all day. Honestly, it’s the perfect thing.

Why then is it a flaw? After realizing the hotel had the perfect spot to relax, I never left! I wasted a lot of time in the foot bath.

The "Things You Might Miss" Rundown

• Body scrub, Body wrap, Massage: All available. Good for it.
• Gym/fitness: There is one. Didn't go. See above.
• Swimming pool [outdoor]: Beautiful! I did swim!!

Cleanliness and Safety: A (Mostly) Reassuring Hug

Let's be honest, in post-pandemic times, clean and safe is the mantra. TOWO Topping takes this seriously.

• Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol: All that jazz. Felt pretty darn safe! Great news for those concerned.

• Cashless payment service: A big plus, let’s be honest. So useful!

• Sterlizing equipment: Even better.

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Feasting Frenzy!

Okay, foodies, prepare to loosen your belts. TOWO Topping is a culinary labyrinth.

• Restaurants, Coffee shop, Bars, Breakfast [buffet], Asian breakfast, International cuisine, Western cuisine, Poolside bar, Room service: You want it, they've probably got it.
• Buffet in restaurant: It was extensive. Maybe too extensive. I felt like I was in an episode of Anthony Bourdain, except I was stuffing my face with pastries. I actually loved it, even thought I felt huge after!
• Happy hour: Mandatory.
• Coffee/tea in restaurant: Definitely. A much-needed caffeine boost after the buffet.
• Snack bar: Needed for the foot bath!

My favorite thing? The variety. I’m not one for eating within only one style of food.

Services and Conveniences: The Swiss Army Knife of Hotels

TOWO Topping is basically a one-stop shop for everything.

• Concierge, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities: They have it ALL!
• Wi-Fi for special events: Now, I didn't hold a special event, but it’s good to know!

Internet Access: Free Wi-Fi, HALLELUJAH!

Free Wi-Fi is a LIFESAVER. My lifeline, if you will. Internet access – wireless, AND LAN. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms, in public areas, and for special events.

For the Kids: Family-Friendly Fun (Or Maybe Not, Depending on the Kid!)

• Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal: It felt pretty geared towards families!

Getting Around: Easy Access (Even for Me, Mr. Direction-Challenged!)

• Airport transfer, Car park [free of charge], Taxi service: Getting to and from the hotel was a breeze. Bless the airport transfer!

Available in All Rooms: Comfort, Convenience, and Maybe a Little Overkill?

• Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Blackout curtains, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Mini bar, Non-smoking, Private bathroom, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, Separate shower/bathtub, Slippers, Smoke detector, Telephone, Toiletries, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free]: The rooms are well-equipped.
• Additional toilet, Bathrooms phone, Extra long bed, High floor, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mirror, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Shower, Sofa: More good stuff!
• Interconnecting room(s) available, Closet, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Desk, Mirror, Refrigerator, Safe/security feature, Seating area, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Slippers, Smoke detector, Towels, Wake-up service: And even MORE!

The Verdict: Should You Stay At TOWO Topping Hotel?

If you’re looking for an all-encompassing experience – a place where you can eat, drink, spa, and have your every need attended to, then, YES. Absolutely. It’s like a mini-city within a city. It’s a bit chaotic, it’s definitely not minimalist, but it’s undeniably fun. It might not be perfect, but it's memorable.

Perfect for: The indecisive traveler, the spa enthusiast, families, people who like to eat.

Maybe not perfect for: Those seeking a quiet, intimate getaway, those who get easily overwhelmed, people who are on a diet (good luck!).

TOWO Topping Hotel Xi'an Zhonggulou Huimin Street Anyuan Gate Metro Station Xian China

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's perfectly-planned itinerary. This is Xi'an, baby, and we're gonna get our hands dirty (and probably our faces covered in delicious noodles). This is the messy, glorious reality of a trip based around the TOWO Topping Hotel near the Zhonggulou Huimin Street in Xian. Let's go!

Day 1: Arrival, Sensory Overload, and Noodle Nirvana (a.k.a. What Did I Just Eat?)

• Morning (or, when I finally drag myself out of bed after the jet lag kicks in): Arrive at Xian Xianyang International Airport (XIY). Finding the hotel involved more frantic hand gestures and poorly pronounced Mandarin than I'd anticipated. Thought I had the taxi thing locked down, turns out, no. Lesson learned: download the Didi app before you land. The hotel itself? TOWO Topping Hotel. Clean enough, smells faintly of disinfectant (which, honestly, I appreciate after the airport). My room… well, it's a room. With a view (of something).
• Afternoon: First stop: Huimin Street. Oh. My. God. The sensory overload is real. The smells! Cinnamon rolls, lamb skewers, the vaguely unsettling aroma of something I think was fermented bean curd. And noise! Vendors shouting, kids laughing, the constant sizzle of cooking fires. It's beautiful, terrifying, and utterly captivating all at once. I swear I saw a guy juggle fire while balancing a tray of dumplings on his head. (Or maybe I was hallucinating from lack of sleep and delicious smells.)
• Afternoon (Continued): The food. Oh, the food! We have to talk about the noodles. Specifically, the "biang biang" noodles. (Pronounciation: ba-ang ba-ang). They are ridiculously thick, like wide, flat belts of chewy deliciousness. You slurp them, you fight them, you possibly wear them. You live them. I ordered mine with lamb and chili oil. Spicy. Sweaty. Glorious. I think I inhaled half a mountain of them. There's a good chance I may have spilled some down my front. And then a lady smiled at me and gave me another serving. I am forever in her debt.
• Evening: Exhausted but thrilled. Tried (and failed) to navigate the subway (Anyuan Gate Metro Station). Ended up wandering around until I stumbled upon a small dumpling shop. The pork dumplings practically melted in my mouth. The language barrier was hilarious; the cashier just kept pointing emphatically at different numbers and I kept pointing at my stomach, mumbling "good, very good." I think I ate about 30 dumplings. No regrets. Back at the hotel, crashed, dreaming of noodles.

Day 2: Warriors, Walls, and a Moment of Pure, Unadulterated Frustration

• Morning: The Terracotta Army. Okay, wow. Photos do not do it justice. Seeing those figures, standing there for centuries, is genuinely awe-inspiring. The sheer scale is mind-boggling. The craftsmanship is incredible. I may have gotten a little choked up. Okay, I definitely got a little choked up. It’s intense. Totally worth braving the crowds. Pro tip: go early. The crowds, even going early is, the experience of the army is totally worth it.
• Afternoon: The City Wall. This is a long wall. Walked a significant portion of it. Got a little lost (surprise, surprise). The views of the modern city, juxtaposed with the ancient wall, are pretty spectacular. Wanted to rent a bike but got distracted by some guy selling sugary fruit skewers. My brain doesn't function well on an empty stomach. A mistake. Now feeling a bit sugar-crashed and regretting the bike.
• Late Afternoon: The Great Wall Adventure (A Disaster) Okay, about that bike thing. I attempted it, I really did. Me and the city wall, thought it was going to be a beautiful experience. It started as a pleasant bike ride along the top of the wall. Then, the wind picked up. My bike brakes were questionable, the paths were gravelly, and, well, let's just say I took a tumble. It wasn't a graceful fall. More like a flailing, "oh god, I'm going down" kind of thing. A few scrapes and a bruised ego. I spent the rest of the evening cleaning road rash and trying to figure out how to get the bike back, I left it. I decided it's the walls problem now.
• Evening: Back to Huimin Street. Comfort food is the only cure for a bruised ego and a scraped knee, I decided. Found a restaurant that served the most amazing lamb soup with flatbread. Felt human again.

Day 3: Temple Tranquility, Shopping Spree (and the inevitable haggling)

• Morning: The Big Wild Goose Pagoda. More impressive history and architecture. The climb to the top is worth it for the panoramic views. The crowds? Less impressive. Avoided falling off on this one.
• Afternoon: Shopping! Went to the Muslim Quarter. Haggling is an art form, and I am a novice. I tried. I think I got some good deals on some calligraphy brushes and a jade pendant. I also overpaid for a silk scarf, which I now adore and can’t even think about. Negotiation fail, style win.
• Evening: Back to the hotel, trying to sort through all the trinkets. Ordered some room service. It wasn't great. Lesson: stick to the street food. Watched a movie on the tiny TV and fell asleep.
• Late Night: Trying to stay awake after the best meal of the day. The local convenience store. Found some amazing snacks – spicy seaweed snacks, and some interesting fruit juices with ingredients whose names I can't pronounce. I may have bought too many.
• Thoughts:
  • The Food: Has been consistently excellent and is a major highlight. The variation in flavours and food types is overwhelming. I adore it all.
  • The Language Barrier: It's a challenge, but also part of the adventure. Lots of pointing, smiling, and using translation apps.
  • The People: Generally friendly and helpful. Even when they're laughing at my attempts to speak Mandarin.
  • Tomorrow: The plan? I have no idea, and that's kind of the beauty of it. More noodles, more history, and probably more moments of glorious chaos!
  • Final Thoughts: My legs hurt, my stomach is full, and my heart is happy. Xi'an is a fantastic experience. I will be back soon.

Unbelievable Xi'an Hotel Deal: TOWO Topping Hotel Review! (Prepare to be Judged!)

Okay, spill the beans! What's the "unbelievable deal" you're talking about? I'm broke, be nice.

Alright, alright, keep your horses! The deal was... well, it *was* unbelievable. I snagged a room at the TOWO Topping Hotel in Xi'an for, like, ridiculously cheap. We're talking less than the cost of a decent pizza (and I *love* pizza). I'm talking, "Is this a typo?" cheap. Seriously, my bank account actually *thanked* me. I still have no idea how they’re making money, but hey, I’m not complaining. My inner broke student was doing cartwheels. The only catch? Well, you'll see... it's a mixed bag. Prepare yourself.

The Towo Topping Hotel... sounds fancy! Is it a palace? Did you feel like royalty?

"Fancy" and "palace"… well, let's just say my expectations and reality had a *significant* personality clash. The lobby, the *lobby* – the lobby was the best part, actually. It was all glossy, with a massive chandelier that practically screamed, "Look at me, I’m trying!" And the staff, bless their cotton socks, seemed genuinely happy to see me, probably because... who knows, probably a lot less traffic than the other places, maybe, since the rest of the hotel was... well, let’s just say it was a slightly less glossy affair. I didn’t feel like royalty. I'd say I felt more like a well-traveled backpacker. The kind that's seen a hostel or two, a couple of questionable bathrooms, and learned to roll with the punches.

(Coughs) Okay. So, the room? The *room*? Any chance it was... clean?

Right, the room. Ah, the room. Okay, deep breath. It *was* clean-ish. Let's start there. The bedding seemed fresh, which is always a good sign. The bathroom… well, the bathroom *tried*. The shower was a bit… let's say “enthusiastic” with its water pressure. I swear, at one point I thought I was going to be blasted through the wall. And the drain? Let’s just say it was a slow-motion adventure in plumbing patience. Oh, and *the view*! (Prepare yourself) It was… overlooking a construction site. Beautiful, isn't it? Really got me into the true inner city vibes. Still, I'm not picky. I have lived rougher lives in my time.

Food! Did they have food? Did they have *good* food? Breakfast, maybe?

Food! Yes. They had food. The breakfast situation was… well, the breakfast situation was an experience. It was included in my ridiculously cheap rate (see, still amazing value). They had a buffet, and let me tell you, the term "buffet" was used *very* loosely. Think a small, cramped space with a selection that could best be described as "eager to please, but ultimately, a bit shy." There was, however, a surprisingly tasty noodle soup. That was my highlight. I ate *three bowls* one morning. I mean, it wasn't *gourmet*, but it filled my stomach and that's a win, right? But hey, at that price, I wasn’t expecting Michelin-starred food. I’m not expecting a Michelin star anywhere, actually.

Okay, let's get to the elephant in the room (or maybe it's the construction equipment outside your window). Any major downsides? Anything that nearly sent you running screaming back to the airport?

Okay, okay, fine. Yes. There were... a few minor hiccups. And by "minor hiccups," I mean the construction noise started at, like, dawn (or possibly before the dawn even *thought* about showing its face), and it was relentless. Like, "hammering-into-your-soul-until-you-wake-up-and-question-your-life-choices" relentless. And the Wi-Fi? Well, it was there. Sometimes. When it decided not to hibernate and become an internet ghost. Let me tell you, trying to upload photos of the Terracotta Army with dial-up speeds is not a fun evening. Frustrating. But you know what? I kept my own expectations in check. I *knew* what I was getting for the price, and I *had* earplugs. I actually came prepared!

So, bottom line! Would you recommend the TOWO Topping Hotel? Be honest!

Here's the thing: If you're looking for a luxurious, pampering getaway, the TOWO Topping probably isn't the place. But if you're a budget traveler, a backpacker, someone who values adventure over pristine perfection, or just someone who wants a ridiculously cheap place to crash while exploring Xi'an? YES. Absolutely, unequivocally, yes! With earplugs. And a good sense of humor. I mean, come on, the price alone makes it worth it, and the staff were lovely. I would go back. I might take a nap. But who am I kidding, I wouldn’t hesitate. The construction? It's part of the experience! The internet? An adventure! The breakfast? Well, it's… unique. Go with a sense of adventure, and you might just have a genuinely enjoyable time. I did. And who knows, maybe the next time I go, they’ll have added a pool. One can dream, right?

Okay, one more thing. What was the *weirdest* thing that happened? Spill.

Alright, alright, buckle up. One night, I was trying to sleep (ha, irony, considering the construction), and I heard… what sounded like… tap dancing. Inside the walls. I'm not kidding. Tap dancing. I sat bolt upright in bed, heart pounding. I swear, I could almost *see* little shoes. I cautiously got out of bed, grabbed a shoe (you know, for protection), and slowly, *slowly* opened the door. Nothing. Silence. Just the ever-present thrum of the construction. I went back to bed, convinced I was hallucinating from lack of sleep. The next morning, I asked the staff about it, half-expecting them to look at me like I was completely bonkers. They just shrugged and said, "Sometimes, the pipes get… musical." *Musical*? I'm still not sure what to make of it. But hey, it added to the experience!
