Inns in Shanxi, China

Located inside the Datong old city, the inn itself is a historic building and has a history of its own. There are many interesting decors to look at in the property. The location is excellent and nearby some very good restaurants. It has a laundry room with 2 washers and 1 dryer which are very important in my opinion.The room was very nice, the cleanliness was very good and kept in very good condition. Although there was no rotating menu for the buffet breakfast each morning, the food is good and there's also beef/lamb offal rice noodles on request. The best parts about the hotel are the staff and service. They were extremely welcoming and friendly. I usually get disappointed by restaurant recommendations by hotel staff but all the restaurants recommended were excellent and not overly expensive. They could help you make a reservation (those restaurants get super busy on weekends and holidays) as well if you don't speak Chinese. We had to check out really early on the last day and the staff promptly packed us some eggs and bread for breakfast even though we didn't request it the night prior. I'm sure if you request it the day/night before, they'll be able to pack you something more substantial. I don't normally leave reviews but this property was worth my time.

We have really enjoyed our stay in Pingyao. The host is very friendly and helpful, and answered our questions very quickly. The room is very clean and nice. It is a nicely equipped room too, and we liked the loft feature. It was very easy to get around and in a great location. Will definitely recommend this hotel to all our family and friends.

The B&B is close to the North Gate, so it was pretty easy to find. The owner even picked me up from Pingyao Ancient City Station late at night, which I really appreciated – it made my travel experience so much better. They carefully explained the locations of attractions and gave me a map. When I left, they even gave me some vinegar as a gift; they're incredibly warm and welcoming. Seriously, if you're coming to Pingyao, you should definitely stay here, haha! It's safe, clean, and the facilities are all there. For longer stays, they even proactively clean your room. The decor has a local flair too – who wouldn't want to try sleeping on a traditional heated 'kang' bed without any fuss? Thanks for everything, I'll definitely stay here again next time. Loved it, loved it!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The team went above and beyond by upgrading my room, which made the experience even more comfortable and enjoyable. I really appreciated. The service was warm, flexible, and genuinely thoughtful throughout my stay. It made a big difference and left a great impression. I would definitely recommend this hotel and look forward to staying again in the future.

This is the top choice when visiting Pingyao! It's right next to attractions, and shopping is incredibly convenient. The room is clean and comfortable, the bedding is soft, the courtyard has a lovely ambiance, and the service is excellent.

This inn is located right in the heart of the ancient city, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing and getting around. It's just a stone's throw away from major attractions like the County Government Office, the city walls, the Escort Agency, the Exchange House, and Xietongqing. Step right outside and you'll find a street full of delicious food, creative cultural shops, and bars. Despite being so central, it's very quiet at night. The rooms are well-equipped, and the price is very reasonable. Highly recommended!

This summer, I traveled to Shanxi with my parents and children, and of course, we couldn't miss Pingyao Ancient City, a place teeming with rich cultural heritage. After extensively searching and comparing many places online, I discovered Aishang Lvke Inn had fantastic reviews and was very reasonably priced. What truly convinced me was that so many people raved about the steamed buns made by the lady there – we simply had to try them! So, I booked two rooms. Its central location within the ancient city made it incredibly convenient for visiting all the attractions. The owner was incredibly welcoming and enthusiastic. He personally picked us up from the station and eagerly shared his recommendations for the best food and fun activities in the ancient city. When it was time to leave, the owner was busy picking up other guests, so his father kindly drove us to the station. He was such a humorous and witty gentleman; I only wish we had more time to chat with him! We'll absolutely stay here again on our next trip to Pingyao. Highly recommend Aishang Lvke Inn!

My Pingyao trip was made perfect by staying at Qigong Mansion. This century-old courtyard, hidden in the heart of the ancient city, has a story etched into every brick and tile. Staying here felt like a journey back in time. What touched me even more was the owner's attentive and thoughtful service throughout our stay; he even personally drove us to the station, which was truly a rare kindness. Pingyao has the scenery, and Qigong Mansion has the heart. Next time I'm in Pingyao, I'll definitely come back here. I genuinely recommend Qigong Mansion to all friends visiting Pingyao – you won't regret choosing it!

The B&B has an excellent location, right within the pedestrian street. Food, drinks, and entertainment are all nearby, which is very convenient. The front is a storefront, and the back is a courtyard with a beautifully decorated night view. The room isn't huge, but there's an umbrella outside with three chairs and a table, perfect for eating or chatting. The small courtyard is enclosed, so even though it's on the first floor, you don't feel a lack of privacy. Everything is well-equipped, and the service attitude is great. The only downside was the smell of smoke. It got much better after opening the doors and windows to air it out, but it returned after closing them at night. Since we checked in at 11 PM, we didn't bother contacting the front desk. I hope they can improve this. They kindly gave us some local specialty vinegar and pastries, which was a nice touch. Due to time constraints, we didn't get to try on the ancient costumes, but we plan to come back and do it next time. Parking for cars is outside the city gate and costs 20 yuan for the night. Electric vehicle charging is a bit far away, so plan ahead for that. The guided tour and electric cart ride cost 120 yuan, which I honestly think is completely unnecessary – consider this a heads-up to avoid that expense! Pingyao Ancient City is definitely worth experiencing, and this B&B is also highly recommended.

The hotel staff provide outstanding customer service, and I especially want to highlight Ana — she is amazing. The hotel itself is beautiful, but my room felt old and was not as clean as it should have been. I was also very disappointed that a western breakfast was not provided. Since I was the only guest in the room, it would only require one portion, and I believe a western breakfast should be included free of charge. I hope the hotel can improve in these areas to better match the excellent service of the staff.
