XiaoguaiwuchuangtianyaThe owner is handsome and reliable! They offer luggage pickup and drop-off service right at the scenic spot's entrance, so I arrived with an empty suitcase and left with it full. The owner even provided a map of the scenic area 🗺️, helped plan a route to avoid tourist traps, recommended great food, and shared where to get free gifts 🎁. Before I left, he even gave me two bottles of Shanxi aged vinegar, hahaha.
Oh, and the absolute best part was the room! It was so comfortable and clean, with an antique, charming decor that created a wonderful atmosphere. There were no strange odors, just a faint, pleasant sandalwood and pine scent. The king-size bed was so big, we couldn't even find each other at night! 🤣🤣🤣 Definitely no accidental kicks. The air conditioning was quiet and cool, and the room had excellent soundproofing, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep without any disturbance from other guests. I slept soundly until morning. I booked the canopy king room, which had such a lovely vibe, hahaha. My experience was 100% perfect. Next time, I'll definitely take more pictures of the room. This isn't a paid ad, I'm just genuinely happy with my stay, hahahaha! 📸
The inn's location is also super convenient. It's right in the heart of the scenic area's main attractions, lively and easy to get around without unnecessary walking. Ha, I really know how to pick a guesthouse! Hahaha, I've been praised and told this stay was super satisfying.
P.S. No need to bring your own kettle, folks! The guesthouse has high-quality kettles that definitely haven't been used for other purposes~ 😂😂😂

Guest UserThe room was spotless, and the hotel's courtyard was perfect for photos. It was my first time sleeping on a 'kang' (heated bed), and it felt like one bed could easily fit 7 or 8 people! My daughter devoured all the snacks in the complimentary fruit platter before we even fully checked in. Breakfast was also a pleasant surprise – very refined and beautifully presented. Overall, it was a fantastic stay.

The owner, Brother Wang, was incredibly enthusiastic, providing exceptional service. He contacted us a day in advance to arrange pick-up and shared travel tips. What really stood out was when we decided to check out early and head to our next destination without prior notice; Brother Wang still got up early to drive us to the high-speed rail station. Considering it would have been hard to hail a taxi that early and how chilly Pingyao was in the morning, Brother Wang made us feel as warm as spring! He even upgraded our room for free. The inn's location is excellent, right on Yamen Street, very close to the City Tower, yet it's very quiet at night. The bedding was soft and comfortable, giving us the best sleep of our trip! PS: Staying here also includes free trials of Jin merchant traditional clothing for some beautiful photos!

Guest UserIt was just an absolutely amazing experience from the very beginning and until the very end of our stay, not even just in the hotel, but in the city of Pingyao itself in general. Me and my friend are traveling very light and without guides, and in Pingyao we had only one day: from evening to evening of the next day. Huge huge thanks to everyone who made this day unforgettable and ultimately comfortable for tired us: Alice, Helen, Fenny, Hana, and all others who was there for us.
The hotel service is simply excellent: as soon as they learned about our late arrival, they immediately offered to meet us at the railway station, which was absolutely the sweetest thing. They brought us to the city gate, met us there, and walked us to the hotel. There they gave us a map, on which they explained in great detail where everything is, what is worth paying attention to, how it is better to build the route, and what opening hours different sights have. They also helped us organize a private transfer to Shaolin Temple the next morning. It was just perfect: we got there in 15 minutes instead of one and a half hours by foot, and after our walk in the temple they met us and brought us back. Also on the evening of arrival they helped us immediately buy the ticket for visiting all attractions of the city, valid for three days. And also they advised us where to eat, and gave us a hotel discount in both places. We did not regret it even once, the food was amazingly delicious in both places!
The hotel itself is just wonderful: it really looks exactly like in the photos. You want to photograph every corner and record how the sparrows are chirping on the roof, and how two wonderful cats are meowing. The room also matches and even exceeds expectations. A huge kang bed, very comfortable. Excellent shower with everything needed. Breakfast is included in the stay: the traditional Chinese one was very tasty! Unfortunately, we did not manage to eat the egg, it was freshly boiled and still hot, but we were hurrying to Shaolin Temple by opening time. Also the hotel has a laundry service, and special thanks for that too! Washing and drying were very fast, and we got our nicely smelling clothes back already after four hours, which was critical for us, because we were leaving the same day.
We felt like we really were honored guests, and we really appreciated it, even if only for one day.

Guest UserThe inn has a great atmosphere. Right outside is a small courtyard, and sitting under the sun umbrella there is very comfortable. The owner is also very nice, recommending good places to eat and fun things to do. They were also very helpful during checkout, assisting with our luggage.

Very good experience. The owners are friendly and provide pick up at the gate entrance. Pretty courtyard and the owners shared a lot of information on where to eat / shop at. Would definitely recommend this guesthouse to those wanting to visit Pingyao.

Guest UserThe rooms are elegantly antique, nestled within a traditional three-courtyard complex. Its location is superb, very close to the bustling commercial center. The service is excellent, offering convenient pick-up and drop-off. On the day I left for the high-speed rail, at 6:10 AM, the owner had already arranged a car for me. They also offer professional photography services right on-site.

SeattlerWe enjoyed an absolutely fabulous three-day stay at Jing's Residence.
The building itself is a very nicely modernized Qing-era building. We've stayed in some similarly ages buildings in Europe and this was right up with the nicest of them. The spaces look very similar to the ones in the museums in town, albeit with bathrooms and more comfortable furnishings.
The service was absolutely impeccable. Our room was constantly restocked with complementary drinks and baked goods, and the front desk staff (Crystal and Leo) was helpful with everything from restaurant recommendations to transportation to the train station to us mixing up our departure date (whoops). All staff spoke great English.
Afternoon tea was a particularly nice touch: no fee, great service, and a very relaxing atmosphere. Food was light Chinese snacks, not the huge spread of a British-style high tea.
Breakfast was a similar relaxing experience. We tried all the of the Chinese-style options and they were all excellent. We did not try the Western-style options.
Dinner was a set menu, shown to us in the morning before making the reservation. It was a combination of Western dishes and local Pingyao/Shanxi food. If given the choice we would have preferred purely Chinese food, but it was all very good and honestly the change of peace was probably good-- getting a salad was nice after two weeks in China. The Pingyao Beef was the highlight: big cubes of high quality meat, easily my favorite of the three places we had this dish.
The bar had a nice selection of Western wines, Scotch, etc, but I was disappointed to not see any local rice wine or Baiji.
Air conditioning worked very well in our room, easily getting the temperature down under 20C even at midday on >30C days.
Overall I really can't recommend this place enough: this hotel was really a highlight of our trip.

房間的質量不錯,滿足了心中對於老式古建居所的遐想。服務其實很周到,能夠在人員如此密集的情況下幫助安排個停車的地方,並且安排人幫助把行李運至客棧,屬實有心了,客棧有自己的街拍,水平不錯,但是代駕就是沒能睡懶覺,早上9點,窗外就傳來拍攝的聲音,春節期間,整體平遙的通行環境很混亂,開車的朋友注意一下。

Very satisfied with this stay! The room is clean and comfortable, the layout is very warm, the facilities are complete and modern, especially the bedding is soft and sleeps very well. The surrounding transportation is convenient, and the nearby food supermarket is all available. The landlord was warm and thoughtful, responded quickly to the message, and solved the problem immediately. The price is super high.
