September Huizhou Inn

Great little homestay that’s right in the old city. Very convenient with restaurants and eateries all around. Owner is extremely friendly and welcoming too. Also there will be two furry cats following you around.

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely inn! The location is incredibly central and perfect for going out day or night. Our room, situated next to a tea desk on the balcony, offered a beautiful view and ensured a very good night's sleep. A special highlight was the excellent service from the staff, especially “Yu”, who was very attentive and made me feel right at home. To top it all off, the two resident cats are absolutely adorable and added so much charm to our stay. Highly recommended!

I would travel back to Huizhou JUST to stay at this Homestay again! Like many of the reviews, the host, 汪新 Wangxin is incredibly kind and has a wonderful traveller's spirit. She speaks great English which is a rare luxury in these parts, and gives great recommendations! I was here filming for social media and she even set up a meeting for me with tourism board officials, really going out of her way. They also offered me a lunch for free and upgraded my room when I spoke Chinese 😜. The room itself is simple but comfy, and I absolutely adored the rooftop and lobby decorations! If you travel for the people (and kittiea!) over the attractions, this is a must visit!

Absolutely the best place ever ! The owner and daughter go beyond to help you and welcome you ! They are rare humans being ! I am so happy I experienced such a magical place! Their English is fantastic ( a big plus !). The food 😋! The decor ( an ancient house full of charm with plants and 2 cats who own the hotel !). Thank you for a wonderful stay where i met great people !

This homestay is a China original, a pioneer of the homestay revolution and it remains a leader today providing affordable and excellent service in a traditional home full of quirks and quality right in the centre of Shexian a few steps from the main city wall gates. The atmosphere is friendly and informal and the food is great, recognized as one of the best in the city. I already miss Hua Mulan, the friendly ginger snub nosed long haired cat that sits at the front door scrutinizing and welcoming newcomers and guests alike. She likes to be tickled on her head and cheeks best

The location is excellent, right in the heart of the old town. From the third-floor terrace, you can even see the yamen. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, offering plenty of travel advice. The innkeeper is very talkative and speaks fluent English. If you want to learn more about China, be sure to have a chat with her. The restaurant on the first floor is also delicious. Highly recommended. Highly recommended.

Very good location. Just located 1 minute’s walk away from the most famous memorial archway. The staff are very friendly. They are all locals and provide me with lots of useful travel advice. The room is clean and comfortable, and the decoration style is very historical as well. There is a restaurant on the ground floor, and the food is very good. I also really love this small county. The locals are really nice and always say hi to you when you walk on the street. It’s also not far away from the Yellow Mountain. The staff helped to book a taxi for me, and it only took me 1 hour to get there.

I normally can't bring myself to write reviews but in this case it is hard not to write one, for all the best reasons. September Huizhou is a homely inn which breathes Ghibli vibes. The inn is located in the middle of the old town, which you can oversee from the rooftop terrace. You can sit in the lobby for hours while sipping some tea and petting the inn's furry permanent guests (see photos). I have had issues with cleanliness in many hotels I stayed at in China, but not here. Will definitely come for another visit.
