Pingyao Inns

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.

If you want to explore the ancient town of Pingyao, then this hotel is fantastic. It's 15mins away from the high speed railway. They pick up and drop out off outside the city. With the covid regulations in place, the hotel supported me through the process and helped me gain entry into the city. I was then collected and driven to the hotel. Check-in was smooth and the lady helped me to book tickets for the Pingyao theatre show at the same time. I received a free upgrade from a double room to a suite. All in all, a fantastic holiday, and a great experience.

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 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.

A very pleasant and pleasant trip. I took the high-speed train from Beijing to Pingyao in the morning. Before I left the station, I received a call from the shopkeeper, who arranged a driver to pick me up at the gate of the ancient city. The courtyard is a very well-preserved three-entry Jin residence, which is not much worse than those mansions in Wang's Courtyard. The house is full of details, making people feel very comfortable and warm. After checking in, the shopkeeper directly took out the map of key tourist attractions in the ancient city and the attractions outside the ancient city that she had helped to draw. We talked about our interests and finally decided to go to Shuanglin Temple and Wang's Courtyard the next day. The shopkeeper also helped to arrange a very reliable chartered car driver. Overall, I didn't have to worry about it. The shopkeeper was reliable when there was something! The courtyard is only a few minutes' walk from the main road. The most enjoyable thing is to drink the shopkeeper's health tea and chat for a while after shopping in the evening~ I have to say that the shopkeeper is a very energetic person, and a few words make people feel refreshed~ In short, it is a perfect experience, worth bringing family and best friends together~

This is a beautiful hotel in the juice of the old town of Pingyao, located not far from one of the gates of the old town and about 15 minutes walk from the center and the main streets. The room had a lot of charm, with the traditional bed which, to my surprise, was comfortable even with the rigidity. I could not enjoy the patio because of the mosquitoes but it is really very charming! The young woman at the reception and the Ayi (the aunt who takes care of breakfast and cleaning) are people with a heart of gold who will do everything to enhance your stay. You have the choice of Western or Chinese breakfast, personally I enjoyed the Chinese breakfast which is typical of the region. I recommend this hotel 100%!

Very good - it is better to have breakfast. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
