Ibis Hotels in Pingyao

Great place in Pingyao. It is reasonably priced, a bit out of the very center (meaning also out of tourists crowds that can be quite noisy in the evenings and mornings), but still close, has same old-style design as the more popular and well-established places that cater to foreigners, but priced twice as much. Pick-up and drop off service is provided - just contact the hotel in advance via phone using the reception of tour previous hotel - no one speaks English - it will solve your communication issue if you do not speak Chinese. At the place itself everyone is very eager to help - use your phone app to translate. Onwer helped me to buy tickets to Pingyao attractions and Terracota Army as I was heading to Xian next (available only through WeChat Pay that is in turn is not availablefor foreign tourists as of April 2023). If you go to Shuanglin temple, be sure to ask to buy tickets through WeChat for you as well. I was able to buy physical one by pure compassion of local guard who asked the staff to open ticket office just for me (Probably was the only foreigner in Pingyao at a time). Please also note that as of April 2023, the reconstruction works in the historical city parts are continuing, so, large chunks of the city within the walls are not looking as great as it could have been. The very center of the city is mostly untouched though and you can still come and explore. If going in spring, be prepared for the temperature swings. I got a temperature drop from 28C to 3C within 2 days by the moment I got to Pingyao. It was even snowing at night.

Beautiful accommodation and super friendly staff, helped us a lot since we cannot speak chinese, like buying tickets for attractions, suggesting nice local restaurants and even accompanied us outside the city walls since it was a hot day. We are super happy to have chosen this place and we really recommend it! 😊

Very nice. The hotel staff provided great service. We called the front desk in advance to make an appointment at Pingyao Ancient City Station. The pick-up and drop-off service was very considerate. They took the initiative to help with the luggage. When we arrived at the hotel, we were given a map of Pingyao Ancient City. The whole stay was very comfortable~

This is a homestay transformed from the old house of Hou Wangbin, which is more than 300 years old. Every brick and tile was built at that time. On this basis, it has been carefully designed and renovated. It is a magical thing to live in this 300-year-old house in Pingyao Ancient City and experience the flow of time! The housekeeper service of the homestay is very professional and in place. Not only did they help pick up and drop off the luggage, but they also recommended tour routes and locations according to our time in Pingyao. You must go to the restaurant for dinner. It is said that the authentic Pingyao local chef has been here for more than 20 years. Every dish is exquisite and delicious, and the ingredients are very good!

I took my kids out to play and stayed at Yunjincheng Mansion. It is a very good hotel. Before I came, the housekeeper Juaner contacted me and sent me some travel information. She was very considerate. She indicated the route on the day of check-in. In order to consider the traffic jam problem for the guests, she arranged staff to pick them up in advance. The journey was smooth. The staff took the luggage throughout the journey. I was very satisfied. The service is really the ceiling of the hotel. The room is clean and sanitary, the facilities are complete, and the dean is very unique. A vibrant hotel.

It's a very cozy courtyard. It's independent and quiet when the door is closed. It feels like home. The breakfast is home-cooked and very comfortable. The boss is very nice and answers all questions. He responds promptly when communicating via WeChat. The young lady in the store is really nice. We sat at the south gate when we went there. The boss promptly arranged for the young lady to pick us up and drop us off when we left. When I arrived at the bus stop, I gave various instructions, which was very considerate, and even gave me some old vinegar! Next time I have a chance to come to Pingyao, I will lock in this place!

The hotel is in a good location, close to Pingyao Theater and the ancient city, which can be reached on foot. The whole hotel has a light Republican style, which is a good choice for people who like quietness. The breakfast variety is not very large, but the quality is good and enough. It is worth mentioning that the hotel staff has a good service attitude. They actively help with luggage when checking in and out. When leaving the hotel, it was cold and rainy, and they also took the initiative to help contact a vehicle to take you to the station.

I like the room very much. It is very comfortable and feels like home. The courtyard is quaint. The owner is very considerate. He picks me up from the station to the hotel for free and gives me a map to introduce the tour route. The breakfast is also delicious and affordable. It is a very satisfying stay. I lived in the house I had always dreamed of. My parents are also very satisfied with the stay.

The hotel is registered as one of the historical buildings in Pingyao ancient city. The hotel is beautiful, decorated with wooden ancient-style windows and doors with small courtyard in front of our room. Inside the room is modern style, spacious and high ceiling while the outside yields an ancient atmosphere. We also like the hotel location. It is in a quiet area but easy to commute to many attraction spots with not a too long distance walking. We have no complaint on overall facilities. The owner and his wife are also friendly and helpful.
