Homestays in Shaanxi, China

We had a wonderful time at the Old Locust Homestay. You can tell the owner really cares about his guests. During our stay there was some work being done in the road out front and the owner made sure to help us with our bags coming in and when we left and also offered a complementary room upgrade along with complementary imported coffee and gave us some local treats as a condolence for the issue. He always went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience. The hotel is newly renovated, very stylist and has great views from the third and fourth floors. We would definitely come back if we are ever in Xi’an again.

I feel very comfortable and satisfied. The hotel is in a prime location, convenient for travel, and there are abundant shopping and dining facilities nearby. The hotel has all the necessary facilities, is clean and tidy, and the service is cordial and friendly. I look forward to staying here next time.

What a wonderful, hospitable owner. The owner was extremely thoughtful and took really good care of all his guests. He took extra effort to prepare an early breakfast for a European family who wanted to leave early for the terracotta museum and helped them rebook the taxi when he observed that the allocated vehicle was too small for the family of 4. I enjoyed having conversations with the owner, covering anything under the sun helping to break the monotony of solo travel. The place is located in a quieter area, but surrounded by the traditional Chinese food stalls, local market, chic restaurants and bars and trendy cafes and bakeries. Clean and tidy, the big living room on the ground floor to relax or for some, a spot to some work.

Came with my dad but I wish I had brought all my friends and family so they could all experience this amazing accomodation!! Absolutely fantastic experience here, I could not recommend it more! This place is incredibly foreigner friendly with quite a few staff who can speak English and the amenities are beyond outstanding. Even for foreigners who know a fair bit of Chinese like me, it was so easy to talk to all the staff and I felt so at ease. Every picture I took made me think I was nestled in the forests of Japan. From the rooftop gardens, to the tea rooms, to the front communal space, and personal rooms, everything is curated to perfection and tech filled to the max! Expect vintage stereos, vinyl players and projectors at every communal area! All the staff are so friendly and create the welcoming community energy that tremendously enriches your experience in Xi’an. There is also a pub opposite the road for complimentary happy hours, communal hot pots and dumpling making on different nights! I cannot wait to recommend this hotel to everyone I know, and I am beyond excited to bring my family and friends back here!

When traveling with my parents, my biggest concerns are always transportation and accommodation. Although the hotel's vicinity was crowded and noisy at night, my parents surprisingly loved the lively buzz of everyday life, even commenting that such a vibrant atmosphere is essential for young people to thrive. Adding to the positive experience, my dad was so charmed by the cafe's ambiance that he spontaneously asked to take photos. During check-out, a polite young man named Zhou helped us with our luggage, and the cleaning staff went out of their way to assist us. These small, thoughtful gestures made us feel incredibly warm and filled the final leg of our trip with a deep sense of gratitude. My parents said they'd love to visit Xi'an again in the future, and I truly hope we'll get to come back soon!

This accommodation is something very special. If you like contact and tips from locals, this is the place for you. You Can also taste local tea. The rooms are very nicely decorated and I had the best sleep in a long time. High quality beds and pillows! Hot water comes quickly in the shower with pleasant water pressure. The location is also great if you want to see the Terracotta Warriors. The Huaqing Palace Park and its show is highly recommended. You can reach it by foot.

This quaint little hotel is tucked away in an alley right in the heart of the Muslim Quarter. It’s in a prime location for great food and shopping. It’s also just a five min walk away from the Drum Tower. The hotel room was clean, bright, and comfortable. We were so surprised that the bedding and linen were higher quality than some of the 4 or 5 star hotels we stayed in. We all slept like a baby every night. There are several floors in the hotel that are decorated tastefully for taking pictures or simply hanging out. They offer complimentary refrigerator and free self-operated laundry service. The owners were very kind and even came out to meet us when we arrived really late at night because she was afraid we couldn’t find our way. I highly recommend this hotel.

The landlord is very welcoming and dog-friendly. The room is spacious, clean and comfortable. It's very close to Sajin Bridge and only takes a few minutes to walk there. I will stay at his house next time I come to Xi'an.

This B&B truly lives up to its reputation as Xi'an's 'most beautiful B&B'. The design is incredibly unique. My room, 'Mijian', was on the top floor. Besides the distinctive room design, there's a rooftop garden, which is truly the most beautiful part. However, Xi'an in summer is too hot to spend time outdoors during the day. Otherwise, I would have loved to enjoy an afternoon tea in the garden, chatting with friends and family. Nevertheless, I still managed to enjoy a bubble bath in the rooftop garden. I'll definitely aim to visit again in spring or autumn next time; I'm sure it would offer a different experience. The host was exceptionally kind, helping with luggage and providing great travel and dining recommendations. The only minor inconvenience is its location in the Muslim Quarter, where cars aren't allowed to enter. This meant we had to haul our luggage from an outside parking lot to the B&B, which was quite a challenge, especially in the scorching summer heat. The room was incredibly well-equipped, with everything from small details like disposable towels and a sewing kit, to a large projection screen, and even unlimited mineral water and Bingfeng (a local Xi'an soda). Overall, it was a great experience.👍

The little cat was absolutely adorable! The room was nice, and the owner was incredibly friendly. However, the Xiaonanmen area felt a bit chaotic and not very safe at night. There were people drinking downstairs, some even passed out on nearby benches. Past midnight, I'd often hear loud noises from cars or motorcycles revving their engines nearby – it was quite annoying. Despite that, the hotel itself felt very secure with its double door locks, and the sound insulation was decent. In the mornings, you could hear some street vendors calling out. And finally, the owner even gave me a small gift upon checkout!
