Xi'an Homestays

This hotel was the most pleasant surprise of our trip to Xi'an! We stayed in two other good hotels before this, but Ling Hotel was definitely the most delightful. The hotel is located north of the old city and is a bit hidden, but taking the direct elevator to the 16th-floor lobby for check-in was an absolute revelation. The public areas are wonderfully designed, with great attention to detail and a high-quality feel! The room details were also excellent. The sofa was very comfortable, and the TV was large, though the lighting was a bit dim. The LE LABO toiletries and Dyson hairdryer were definite bonuses. But the biggest surprise was the hotel's rooftop observation deck and swimming pool. The observation deck offers a complete view of the Drum Tower and the central axis, and the pool view is also perfect, especially at night when it's lit up! The most, most, MOST delightful thing was the small gift we received at check-out. They specially carved a small seal for my child! Even though we only stayed for one day, they managed to craft such an exquisite seal. This gift was truly thoughtful. Thank you to all the hotel staff! Thank you for your considerate service! My only minor suggestion is that the breakfast and late-night snack options could be improved.

Amazing stay! Very clean, room as shown in pictures. Homestay has elevator, several areas where to sit outdoors. Great for pictures. Room has wet and dry area slippers, multiple electric outlets, multiple water bottles. Multiple showerheads available. Bed is comfortable, room odor and smoke free. Air conditioning is very efficient, cools down the room fast. Homestay is located right in middle of Muslim quarter, help with luggage from Didi drop off area available if needed (short walking distance). Near by coffee shops, shops and food stalls. Despite being in very busy area, the homestay is tucked in very quiet courtyard and there is no street noise at all. Special thanks to young man working there - he made sure we had everything we needed, gave information about restaurants, helped with laundry. Very easy communication with hosts before and after travel. Highly reccomend!

Overall, my stay at this hotel was great. The location is excellent, making it super convenient for getting around. Check-in at the front desk was quick, and the staff were very friendly. My room was clean and tidy, the bedding was comfortable, and the soundproofing was good. Plus, there was plenty of hot water. The common areas were clean and fresh, and the facilities were well-maintained. Definitely good value for money. There were no hidden costs, which made for a very pleasant stay. It's my top choice for accommodation when traveling and I highly recommend it.

Listening to the rain outside while soaking in a warm tub indoors – it was incredibly stress-relieving! It's been raining so much lately, I felt like I was about to grow mold. This weekend, I finally got to experience the hot spring getaway I'd been dreaming of. As soon as I opened the door, I was amazed – the room had a beautiful Tang Dynasty-inspired elegance! Wooden window lattices, gauze curtains, a tea ceremony setup, and even the hot tub was tucked away behind bamboo screens. The best part? Outside, it was gently raining. I was soaking in my private, steamy hot spring, with the window cracked open. The cool air, carrying the sound of the rain, drifted in, chilling my face while my body was warm to the core. This is exactly what a rainy day should feel like! The pool water was genuine hot spring water, smooth and silky; my skin felt so much softer after soaking. The room also came with rose petals and aromatherapy scents. After soaking until I had a light sweat, I wrapped myself in a bathrobe and had a hot cup of tea. It felt like all the week's fatigue was washed away by the rain. I have to say, rainy day + private hot spring + ancient aesthetic = triple the healing! If you've been feeling cooped up by the rain lately, ladies, you really should try the joy of 'escaping into your own little world' like this.

The place is right in Muslim quarters. It can get a bit noisy at night but we were ok with that. The service was good and even helped with a few recommendations. The only downside is the water heater which take a while to heat because there are 4 of us taking bath. Highly recommend for those food lovers. 😝🤩

The homestay we stayed in this time really exceeded our expectations! Opposite is the Daming Palace National Park, with a superior location and prosperous business. It is close to the subway entrance, and is a few stops away from the Bell Tower and the Tang Dynasty City that Never Sleeps, which is more convenient than driving. Nearby is the lively night market street of Wanda Plaza, which is very convenient for eating and shopping. The community is of high quality, the lobby is luxurious and atmospheric, the rooms are spacious and bright, with a light luxury style and exquisite design. The large flat with five bedrooms, two living rooms and three bathrooms is very practical, and it was just enough to accommodate our group of more than ten people! It is also equipped with a fully automatic mahjong machine, which added a lot of fun to our leisure time. It was as warm and comfortable as at home, and it was a very pleasant travel experience.

A very cute little hotel right inside the inner walls! The location was very close to everything we needed. There were a few bars down below us that did play music quite loud until 2am but we are all earplug wearers so that didn’t bother us. The staff were very friendly!

Only smaller room has access to lift 🛗 bigger room is on different building and NO lift 🛗 At 12pm exactly I walk inside the hallway, to their receptionist for check in (normal check in was at 2pm actually, I missed that time frame). I have expected that my room will have no lift, but thank goodness when the receptionist opening the door behind the counter I saw a lift and I asked about it. He told me that not all room have access to it, and mine specifically is on different building with stairs, and I’m on the fifth floor with balcony 🫣 He kindly asked us whether we want to change our room and he also invite us to show each room available for the lift and for the other building, oh my gosh, I cannot tell you how struggling it was to climb to the fifth floor, we only managed to the 4th one to see the room, and gave up. We chose room 5003 as it has a large windows with unobstructed view, albeit a bit smaller than what we ordered, but the lift access make it worth it. And also if you’re on a heavier side like I am and not used to walk a lot, just bare in mind, didi are not allowed on this street, they’re motorcycles you can pay to sent you inside, but the price varies. We also only used the bicycle until their park station and has to walk inside the street another 500m +- I tried to used taobao but my item kept on failing to deliver 😭 but thank god I can return and refund all of them. All in all this has taught me a lesson to choose hotel that didi can drive literally up until the front entrance of the hotel. I’m not build to walk a lot 😭 and literally carrying 5kg of rice in my bagpack too along with how many litres of drinks. But the hotel is nice, they treat us well, and very whenever I WeChat they will make sure to reply promptly. The cleanliness can be improved, and the amenities are a little bit outdated. There’s foreign hairs from mopping I think, so we just wipe the floors with clean towel again.

I can't believe how comfortable this accommodation is! First off, it's right next to the street in front of the train station, as shown in picture 1. The entire building is the hotel. Each room is a separate unit, and the hallways are spacious and bright. My room shares a large bathroom with another room, which is very convenient. The room itself is huge and has everything you need. The Wi-Fi connected instantly and never dropped. As for the price, it's incredibly cheap, as long as it's not a holiday or a weekend. There are plenty of food options and fruit stores nearby, and there's a bus stop right outside, making it easy to get anywhere. I absolutely love this comfortable, quiet, and spacious place!

The hotel is a little bit hard to find and is down a spooky alley, but otherwise it is quite a great hotel for the price. The staff was very friendly and helpful with everything!
