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.

This hotel is absolutely amazing! Great location, fantastic design, excellent service, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. I stayed for 6 nights, and they proactively upgraded my room type for 4 of those nights – I honestly didn't want to leave. The breakfast buffet offers a decent variety, with both Chinese and Western options, plus hand-drip coffee. The afternoon tea pastries are homemade by the restaurant, exquisite, and delicious. And the late-night snacks are superb too! Next time I'm in Xi'an, I'll definitely choose this place again and highly recommend it to any friends planning a trip there. **Amenities:** The hotel's design is top-notch, with thoughtful touches evident in both its overall exterior and internal details. The aesthetics are spot on. The facilities are new and high-quality, and they even have their own private restaurant, which is not only convenient for dining but also serves excellent food. 👍 **Cleanliness:** Every part of the hotel is meticulously clean, including the rooms, lobby, corridors, and restaurant – perfect for a traveler like me who's a bit of a clean freak. **Environment:** The location is excellent, right by the city wall and not far from the subway. Most major city attractions are within a 30-40 minute commute, and spots like the Stele Forest Museum, Wenchang Gate, and the 'Old Market' are within walking distance. There are plenty of authentic local eateries, coffee shops, and traditional morning markets nearby, yet it's very quiet and peaceful at night. **Service:** Absolutely five-star service, even better than many other five-star hotels. Everyone always has a smile. The front desk staff are mostly handsome young men – proactive, polite, and quick to respond. The restaurant waitstaff are friendly local women who are attentive and can communicate in English.

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.

Hands down the most surprising hotel I've stayed at in Xi'an – Zhiyin (Big Wild Goose Pagoda & Grand Tang Dynasty Everbright City branch). ✅ unbeatable location: A 3-minute walk to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, 5 minutes to the Grand Tang Dynasty Everbright City, and close to the subway station. Getting around is super convenient. ✅ stunning environment: A tranquil oasis amidst the hustle and bustle. Only 30 rooms are spread across a 3000㎡ courtyard, featuring bamboo groves, flowing water, red walls, and green tiles. Every step reveals a new picturesque view, perfectly capturing the Wabi-sabi Tang Dynasty aesthetic. ✅ room experience: I booked a pagoda-view room. The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows perfectly frame the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. I enjoyed watching the sunrise in the morning and the light show at night. Lying in bed and gazing at the thousand-year-old pagoda was incredibly therapeutic. The room boasts smart home features, a KingKoil mattress, and branded toiletries – attention to detail is superb. ✅ thoughtful service: The butler was enthusiastic. We were welcomed with hot tea upon check-in, enjoyed complimentary afternoon tea, and even had hot noodle soup late at night. It felt as warm and comforting as coming home. If you're coming to Xi'an, Zhiyin is an absolute must-book!

端午節前幾日，想着端午節帶家人出遊一下，不想去景點，找一個山裡的酒店或者民宿去擁抱大自然，因為個人習慣，喜歡品質好一些的酒店，所以在攜程找找，其實一打開app搜尋，這家酒店就出現在前三位，另外兩位直接淘汰，因為比較老，這家是2026年開業，當即訂了兩間，其實沒有看過多，像選盲盒一樣，到了酒店其實還是出乎我的意料，酒店首先服務人員的服務意識和態度是非常值得稱讚的，點贊👍🏻另外酒店的硬件還是可以的，室內桌球、高爾夫、健身房、棋牌室，成人休閑娛樂還都是比較全，唯一不足的是室外游泳池沒有完善，應該是才開業，還沒有蓄水，其次陽台牆面的粉牆沒有做好，掉粉，沾了一身白灰，酒店是可以申請延時退房，臨走服務人員還送了伴手禮

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 😍
