Homestays in Shaanxi, China

This guesthouse at the foot of Mount Hua is a real hidden gem, so authentic and down-to-earth! The owner is incredibly warm and genuine, the rooms are spotless, and their shuttle service is excellent, making it super convenient to get around. It's a comfortable and relaxing stay, my top pick for climbing Mount Hua. I truly recommend it!

This hotel was by far the highlight of our trip to Xi’an. The interior blends Tang-inspired aesthetics with a modern minimalist design, creating a space that feels both refined and incredibly comfortable. The communal areas on the ground floor and the tea space on the fourth floor are perfect for unwinding. Each day, guests are offered a complimentary coffee as well as drinks at the bar across the street, which is a thoughtful touch. The front desk staff are also exceptionally professional — noticeably above the standard we’ve experienced at many other hotels.

My trip to Xi'an this time, I stayed at this guesthouse for three days and felt incredibly relaxed. Simple breakfast, comfortable environment. In the evening, after returning, I could even sit by the roadside outside, at the foot of the city wall, and enjoy a cold brew tea. The room had a natural wood style, and all the amenities were well-designed, making me not want to leave. I'll definitely come back next time! [blush emoji] The guesthouse offers free sachet making, and the faint herbal scent lingering on my fingertips was a delightful way to treat myself. If you get tired of all the noodles and 'mó' (steamed buns) outside, you can easily try their private kitchen. The dishes are clean and meticulously prepared.

Very nice hotel. Lovely staff - very helpful, loads of advice on where to find the tastiest food in Xi’an. The bath in our room was very big and comfortable. Big bed with very soft sheets. Amazing location - 2 minutes from an entrance to the wall. Loads of great food. Treats, eye mask and ear plugs provided (in the mornings it’s a little noisy outside from the food stalls). The cats are all lovely. The hotel provides some cat food to feed the cats. Highly recommend.

The room was very clean, with a clear separation between the wet and dry areas, and a full-length mirror. The guesthouse's location is excellent, right near the entrance of Huimin Street, with many popular local snacks downstairs. It's only a 10-minute walk to the Bell Tower, and a subway station and a direct bus stop to the Terracotta Army are right outside. The owner's service attitude was also superb, very enthusiastically recommending local delicacies. 😍😍

Great location! It is located near the city wall without the hecticness of the South Gate. There lot of eateries and cafe around the villa. The villa itself is located in a private courtyard hence it is pretty quiet and tranquil at night. The villa itself is beautifully designed. I stayed at one of the rooms on the second floor which has a beautiful view of Xi’an. Love the amenities provided by the place which even includes cables charger. The service is one of the best I have encountered. The owner and the 2 pretty girls were so welcoming that it felt like going back home every night. They provided breakfast, drinks and snacks which was so thoughtful.

Staying at Zhiyin Hotel was an experience that far exceeded my expectations. The hotel is ideally located near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, offering a tranquil Tang Dynasty-style courtyard design amidst the bustling city. The breakfast selection is extensive, featuring both local specialties and standard options, catering to diverse dietary needs. A complimentary professional makeup and styling service, along with garden access to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, is included. The photographers and makeup artists were incredibly skilled and professional! The photo shoot results completely blew me away! It was also incredibly convenient, saving me the hassle of booking attractions and renting costumes myself. Beyond relaxing, I could immerse myself in exploring the Big Wild Goose Pagoda scenic area, making my travel planning exceptionally stress-free. The rooms are quiet and comfortable, and the service is attentive yet unobtrusive, balancing both relaxation and cultural exploration. This is definitely my top choice for accommodation when visiting the Big Wild Goose Pagoda area in Xi'an.

The location of the homestay is very good, very close to the Panda Valley by car, not far from the Golden Monkey Breeding Base in Shawo Village, there is a place to play in the water behind the hotel, remember to bring your own water gun and quick dry clothes! Can barbecue, can play billiards, golf, coffee with latte and mocha, outdoor balcony can blow the mountain wind, the weather is cool, very comfortable! Hotel staff service is warm, holiday near Xi'an is relaxing, recommended! Suggestion: Add a small table to the balcony

A fantastic find for anyone visiting Huashan. The host was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond by personally picking us up and dropping us off at the tourist centre, such a convenient and welcoming touch that made the whole experience seamless from the moment we arrived. The room itself was very new and spotlessly clean, with a great view that made coming back after a long day on the mountain all the more rewarding. Breakfast isn’t included in the room rate, but the pricing is very reasonable and we also stayed for dinner, which was well worth it. Good food, no need to venture far after an exhausting day of hiking. All in all, a highly recommended stay. Great host, great room, great value. Exactly what you want as a base for Huashan.

The hotel ia strategic, near and easy access to all the scenic area. Food is not a problem since the shopping street is surrounding the hotel area. We have a great time staying there. The host has been very helpful and friendly during our entire stay. Laundry services is also available at the hotel and it’s convenient for us. If you are tired from walking at the scenic area, the lower ground shop-lot have lot off massage parlours where you can relax after the hectic day. The owners’ cats are so cute and super friendly and being and additional friends for us 😍
