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.

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!

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.

Amazing hotel! The location was perfect (street food, restaurants, bars all around). The staff was very helpful for our entire stay. The room was very clean and comfortable. And on top of all that being able to pet cats the whole time makes this place easily a 10/10.

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.

Facilities: Very good decoration atmosphere, large swimming pool Hygiene: clean and tidy Environment: The surrounding scenery is good, it is also very close to the scenic spot, and there are many farm dishes opposite Service: Good attitude. Because we were traveling with four friends, the boss upgraded us to a suite. It was super considerate and provided two breakfasts with a rich variety of breakfast items.

Steps away from the Muslim Quarter. Very convenient. Room is exactly like in the pictures. Great service from the staff. Free laundry services. They even offered to finish our laundry so we didnt have to wait on our laundry and go about our day! When we came back at night, our laundry is already neatly folded in a laundry bag. Ready for us to pick up. What a great service!

.......if you are planning for Xi'an trip and are looking for accommodation, look no further - Da Tang Yin is the place to put up at. Still, if you need reassurance: read through the many reviews about it and you'll be assured to stay at the place. Of course, on the first day - you'll have to search a little for the location at one of the alleys in the Muslim Quarter (your point of reference will be the Great Mosque of Xi'an). Thereafter, it's convenient as it really is in the Muslim Quarter - literally it is!! And if you are bringing trolley luggage and are staying at its highest 04th floor, it will be a struggle to bring it up as there are no lifts. But the owner, is ever willing to help you with it. Since it's about the owner we are talking about: your communication with him starts even before you stay at his homestay via wechat - that's where if you need directions to come over to his homestay - or even need his help to fetch you from the airport or railway station, he would oblige and ensure you would be in good hands to arrive to his homestay safely. That goes the same with sight-seeing around Xi'an - he would be ever willing to help you book tickets and give you valuable advice going about it. .......this is the advantage of staying at Da Tang Yin - you have a very honest, helpful and respectful owner who would go the extra mile to make sure you have a great stay in Xi'an. With that, his homestay is also kept clean and comfortable for you throughout. We are ever grateful to him and fortunately having the opportunity staying at his homestay and for helping us & ensuring we have a great time in Xi'an. Thank you, bossku. 🤗🤗🖤🖤🤗🤗

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!
