Perfection. Perfect location, lovely room in a stunning courtyard and garden.
Staff were super friendly and gave me advice on getting around (and gave me lots of water as they were worried about me on my long onward train ride!)
I booked this to stay within the old city walls and in the old city itself. The hotel IS an old (original) classic design as was the room with one vast family sized bed (for just me). The facilities were fine, the wifi was good, the ambience was very definitely "old town", all of which was within easy walking distance. Breakfast was included and my western choice was served with a smile. I tried to have dinner there, but the power was playing up (hey - it's 200 years old or some such). The room has air-con/heating, so fine for summer or winter stays. the only thing i missed was a room fridge (and this is only because I need to keep my insulin in it - but it was autumn and "fresh" outside at night, so not the end of the world at the time of my stay). Ice was quickly provided on request (for my whisky night cap). The receptionist went out of her way to help with ALL requests. Thoroughly recommended.
Lovely place, excellent and kind service attending to all our needs. We loved the warm evenings at the Courtyard. The only, very small minus was the super hard bed - by the third night we were quite used to that also.
Great Location and a great value. The rooms are very large and the hotel is amazing with several courtyards to escape the madness of the touristy streets.
Mia is a great help recommending places to see and eat.
Highly Recommend this Hotel, traditional Chinese atmosphere. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. I read some of the bad reviews and feel they are unjust. This is China and things are expected to be different than where your from. It does not mean they are bad, just different it's their Culture.
We visited in the winter and still enjoyed the open homeyness of the court yards. The location is good, it's close to the busy streets yet not as crowded and is quiet.
It is close to the South Gate and easy walk to shopping outside the wall.
If I ever get the opportunity to return this is the place I want to stay.
We spent 5 enjoyable days there.
We had a great stay. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is good in a quieter part of the old city. They created in their courtyard a cozy and peaceful environment, combining traditional Chinese stay and good comfort for the travellers. Rooms are clean but simple with traditional Chinese hard beds. Bathrooms were clean, but shower is in the washroom itself (not separate) which was ok for us. All in all, an excellent stay in one of our favourite cities in China - a perfect resting place after visiting the old city, and surrounding temples and houses. Very much in keeping with the flavour of Pingyao.

Average hotel with good service.
Nice hotel wiht great location. However I would not rate it as 4 or 5 star. The bathroom is crammed and the bed is hard. Would say a 2 or 3 star accomodation. The staff is very helpful and the food is delicious
Our most relaxing and enjoyable stay during our travels. Staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. Location is an easy walk from the main areas, making it a nice quiet place to return to after a day of exploring. Room was comfortable and clean. Would highly recommend staying here and will definitely stay again, if given the opportunity to revisit Pingyao.
This was a wonderful inn with enjoyable staff, beautiful garden, good safe location and everything you need to explore the charming ancient walled city. Would love to go back
The hotel was clean, comfortable & full of great ambiance. What really made our stay was the warm & friendly Inn Keeper who went out of her way to make our stay easy & comfortable. She also spoke great English & was able to help us with our sightseeing plans. The hotel also included free bicycles which were a perfect way to explore the walled city.
DO NOT take the 108 bus from the station. take a taxi for 40 yuan. This hotel is a very upmarket hostel. The twin bed room was clean and lovely and warm , also with underfloor heating.Bathroom small also heated with only a shower. Rooms are round a courtyard on the ground floor.Probably more suitable for the spring , summer. Owners speak English and are very helpful and informative.Breakfast good not a buffet.Feel much better after their rice spirit. Pingyao is not often visited by Westerners and is very Chinese, some of which has been rebuilt using the old stones. This is the only fully walled town in China. This is not for somebody who wants 5 star western hotel as it is mainly geared to Chinese. There is no vegetarian or vegan food in Pingyao
Very welcoming & helpful staff, huge beds, delicious food in the restaurant (best Kung pao chicken I have ever had). Breakfast was pretty good. The taxi guy affiliated with the hotel is not the best though.
Si trova leggermente al di fuori delle vie principali, quindi é molto tranquillo e riservato. Personale gentilissimo che parla inglese (rarissimo anche nei 5 stelle)! Ottimo anche per fermarsi per cena e prezzi onestissimi
Petit Hotel typique avec beaucoup de charmes, le service est impeccable et le personnel d' une gentillesse rare, très bien situé pour visiter la vielle ville. Je vous conseille de manger sur place, super bon et pas cher. Vraiment super, un grand merci
Hôtel très caractéristique de Pingyao.Cela change des habitudes.Chambre agréable dans un cadre inhabituel et très agréable.Acceuil d une grande efficacité et gentillesse.Mia comme la patronne toujours souriantes et attentionnées.Je recommande cet hôtel et son restaurant, pas besoin de sortir toujours dehors, la cuisine est bonne.
