Plussat: Nice, not at the first time, every feeling is very good! Will continue to choose here, will recommend to friends. Its really convenient, will have the opportunity to come again next time.

Plussat: The location of the hotel is good and the staff is nice.

Miinukset: The hotel is set up for tour groups. It is a large courtyard-style hotel. Our room faced the parking lot and the hotel lobby. It was VERY noisy because a tour group showed up to check in late in the evening and was standing in the parking lot and lobby waiting for their rooms. There were also several cars who honked their horns incessantly trying to get others to move their cars. I complained twice about the noise to the front desk, but the staff did nothing. The noise settled down after midnight and started again at 6:00am. If you book at this hotel, make sure to pay for a room that is not in the main courtyard area near the lobby. Also the rooms were musty and had a very limited amount of toilet paper and the beds are platforms with thin cotton futon-style mattress. It is very hard. If you're not used to a very hard bed, you'll find this uncomfortable.

Plussat: Perfect location

Miinukset: No services, no English, no check out...

Plussat: gorgeous, small property with great attention to detail. If you want to feel the old world charm of China, this is the place. Its smack in the centre of town, but an oasis of calm from the crowds and chaos.

Miinukset: maybe a few more western snack options? Kitchen operates during specific periods of time.

Plussat: This is a truly magnificent little boutique hotel in the middle of the old town walking areas, still an oasis of calm once inside. It's rustic charm in every good way but nothing is "old", used or tired. The staff is also going out of their ways to make you feel genuinely at home e.g. Imam at the reception spared no time (40 minutes or so) responding to our curiosity and explaining history and life in old Pingyao while we waited for our transfer.

Miinukset: nothing, really. (i was hesitating to give a lower grade only on the 'value for money' factor - as one can see it's clearly the most pricey option, by far, in old Pingyao - but quite possibly it's worth it.)

Plussat: Best hotel ever !!! I am a very frequent traveller and this hotel has the best service and the most amazing surroundings !! The food is fabulous so you need to have dinner here as well !!! Worth every penny !! Thank you so much Imam and Alisa !!!

Plussat: Super friendly, super helpful staff. All spoke very good English. All areas of the hotel have a very pleasant, elegantly decorated atmosphere, a pure pleasure for the senses, including top-class relaxing massage.

Miinukset: The lunch menu could be a bit better

Plussat: Most friendly and caring staff. Location just off the main street. Zen atmosphere. Very attentive. Fee afternoon tea.

Plussat: The hotel is truly remarkable. Delightful friendly customer service, outstanding food and wine, amazing building, and amazing decoration, so much good taste.

Miinukset: It is very difficult to find anything that could be better in this outstanding hotel. Maybe the hotel could provide a shoe-horn in the room!

Plussat: The staff went out of their way to meet our every need. The food was outstanding. Overall a great stay.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Magnificent property, food and service. Couldn’t have been a better experience!

Miinukset: A little trouble with WiFi

Plussat: Close to ancient town

Miinukset: People didn't speak English, not very friendly staff

Plussat: I stayed 3 nights in this hotel in November. An unparalleled charm! This is an authentic historic house, restored to a minimum and just enough. We are here at the antipodes of these artificial restorations that one finds in some other hotels that want to give themselves a traditional character. No false note here to preserve the character of the entire establishment. The staff is of a remarkable kindness and very helpfull; the restaurant is very correct. Excellent location: 2-3 minutes from the main points of interest of Pingyao. Very very calm. The rooms are very different from each other. Look at the pictures on the site. They correspond to reality. Wifi works very well. It was a wonderfull experience.

Plussat: The hotel is situated in a beautiful old merchant house in the middle of the old town. The Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful in organising our stay. They organised pickup at the train station.

Plussat: Great authentic atmosphere, lovely courtyard, wonderful Chinese food one of the best places we had in a long time. has parking near by, we were staying in the family suite which was very spacious, the parents room has a very big bed width 3meter, we could sleep easily with the baby and sometimes all 3 kids. we would come back again if we have the chance.

Plussat: Located in a historical house, the hotel owner shows a great concern over the protection of the building. He clearly has decided to sacrifice a bit of the comfort in its interior decoration in order to keep the authenticity of the house. No luxury but simple and natural. Very friendly staff.

Plussat: traditional Chinese courtyard with 282 years old. def worth staying. the staff were super helpful and friendly. I will come here again def if i have chances

Plussat: We had the suite (rooms 18/19). Very spaceuous room with good size bathrooms. The service was fantastic. The personnel walked the extra mile to make you feel at home

Plussat: The hotel is very special. It is like travelling back in time. They room and courtyards are very well-preserved and certainly give you the right atmosphere for a trip to Pingyao. The staff is absolutely great. They are friendly and really do give the place a great friendly family-atmosphere. The staff really do walk the extra mile for their guests.

Plussat: We had an awesome time in this stunning typical "hotel"; Julie, our host, was professional, helpful and genuinely friendly. If you're interested in authentic and special places, this is the place to go to. The restaurant is great too.

Plussat: The staff were so helpful and friendly. The food was very good. Umbrellas were provided as well.

Miinukset: Nothing - although relative to other similar courtyard hotels it was a bit pricey - but probably worth it!

Plussat: Great location. Guesthouse was clean, comfortable and quiet. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good food in the restaurant.

Plussat: Location was great, right on the main street. Taxi driver from the train station wasn't familiar with the hotel so he called the property. The owner, who speaks English, directed him and was even waiting for us at the door when we arrived. Bare in mind the signs outside the hotel are all in Chinese, so it's not easy to identify. Rooms were great, very quaint. The layout is pretty unique in that the entrance to all the rooms are technically outdoors, so it's quite unique. Really nice bed too. Breakfast was pretty good, they have a small number of items ready but you can order fried eggs/toast and dumplings. Overall, really nice place for the price. Recommended.

Miinukset: Wasn't easy to spot the hotel sue to the signs being in Chinese, but the hotel owner was waiting outside for us. Would recommend calling them if you are having trouble finding it.

Plussat: Nice location in the centre of the Ancient City, attractive courtyard area, friendly owner. Very cheap beer from a fridge in reception. Good value budget hotel. Basic but decent Asian breakfast.

Miinukset: Wet room/shower and toilet drainage was poor. Property description stated washing machine and drying rack but when on the 1st day I asked for the location of the washing machine/laundry facilities, the staff member pointed to the shower and 2 coat hangers.

Plussat: The room settings is very nice & cozy. Bathroom water heater is stable! Front desk is friendly & helpful! Good breakfast provided! Nice coffee! The host given us small gifts when check out! Thumbs up for the hospitality

Miinukset: The kettle provided in room is dirty.. other than that everything is good!

Plussat: Right in the main streets where most of the attractions and food stalls are.

Miinukset: Room small. Shower area and toilet with no partitions and so floor is wet after shower

Plussat: We stayed at 5 different hotels in China and this was by far the best. The location was in the heart of the main historical strip. The room was magnificent and very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was egg on toast, steamed buns and tea or coffee. I should have asked for more eggs it was that nice! They also have a restaurant and after seeing the food on our return later that night we wished we had of eaten there!

Miinukset: We wish we stayed longer!

Plussat: Great guesthouse in the center of old Pingyao - the rooms are spacious and very traditional. The staff will do everything to make you feel at home and help you organise your day trips. The whole guesthouse was clean and you are right on the main street (which is only for pedestrians) where you will find all the shops you need!

Miinukset: It can get quite cold during the night - just ask for an extra blanket.

Plussat: Location! Room amazing!

Plussat: Very attractive and stylish hotel right in the center of Pingyao on the main street. You can really can a sense of old China here, one of the very few places in the country to remain so intact. The personnel is extremely friendly and the food excellent, highly recommended!

Plussat: Loved everything about this place!

Miinukset: Nothing at all.

Plussat: The staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms are lovely, traditional Chinese style with large beds and beautiful courtyard area. They serve lovely food, with some vegetarian options too! Location is good- right in the ancient city centre. Free WiFi- decent connection. Lovely heater/ air con unit.

Miinukset: We had a little trouble with some ants in our first room, but they sorted it immediately and changed rooms. The bathroom in the second room was very small, the shower is right next to the toilet.

Plussat: Excellent staff, relaxed vibe, perfect location and great food being served at the restaurant.

Miinukset: If I had to come up with any con it'd be the hard bed, but I guess that's just very China-like!

Plussat: It's a very friendly hostel catering mostly to foreign visitors to Pingyao. Room is simple but cute, and the inner courtyard makes for a very different kind of stay compared to most hotels. The staff speak excellent English. The restaurant offers very decent breakfast and excellent dinner at competitive prices, with clear, informative English menus. We felt relaxed and welcome. The reception staff helped arranged very good transfer to our day-trip outside Pingyao.

Miinukset: The room is simple, the shower doesn't have a curtain or a glass wall so the entire bathroom floor gets wet every time. Not a lot of shelf space around the sink. The room lighting is a little problematic as it doesn't offer a reading lamp.

Plussat: The guest house is inside the ancient city, close to many of the 'tourist attractions. There is no requirement to purchase entrance ticket to enter the ancient city. Entrance ticket is only required for going into 'tourist attractions' in the ancient city. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Some good local food were served by the guest house. A lot of foreign guests.

Plussat: Great historic building. Friendly and helpful staff. Great location in the old town.

Miinukset: Bathroom had strong smell from drains.

Plussat: The typical bed was a fun experience! Staff were helpful. First place I could pay with debit card instead of cash. I liked the toiletries - was a nice touch.

Miinukset: The room was a little cold - not very well insulated, and temperatures outside were freezing (-11).

Plussat: Great location and staff helpful

Miinukset: Breakfast set in very cold area

Miinukset: The place is much smaller than what we had in mind. The staff also failed to recommend attractions when asked, as a result we wasted half a day walking around the city, when we could actually visit some attractions nearby the city. The staff told us breakfast is ready by 6am, we found out that it would not be ready until 7am. By then we woukd be out of town.

Plussat: Nice ambiance, friendly and helpful staff, old-style furniture in the room, good wifi, close to all sites but still in the quieter area of the old town.

Miinukset: The bathroom is rather small, the floor can get wet easily during a shawer.

Plussat: Very helpful staff that very enthusiastically advices us what to do in the ancient town and helped us organize a private driver as well. Beautiful courtyard in a very traditional setting!

Plussat: Lots of character, right inside the ancient town and super good value!!

Plussat: 1. the place was so beautiful that we couldn't believe it, i would say it is even prettier than the picture they put here, the garden was the best i have ever seen in a hotel. i would absolutely book the same one next time. 2. i never bother to write comments about places i went, but i am more than happy to take some time for this place because the staff were very friendly, helpful and just chilled. 3. the price was also perfect, we didnt expect a place like that would be so cheap!

Plussat: The staff was very attentive, polite and helped me understand how to get in the next city stay by calling the next hostel, I found it amazing! The accommodation is very comfortable and clean, staff gave me a city map with best tips! The location is great and I recommend sleeping in Pingyao!! I loved the city!!

Plussat: Great location, right in the middle of the old town. Lovely courtyard and a very unique feel about the place. Helpful staff also.

Miinukset: Our room wasn’t the cleanest. Probably more expensive than most guest houses around, but you’re paying for the location mainly.

Plussat: The location was perfect, in a little and calm street, very close from the main attractions and restaurants. Very nice staff who is speaking good English. Very beautiful hostel in traditional style.

Miinukset: We were here during winter time and the room was a bit cold.

Plussat: Great location, friendly staff that speaks english and help you with everything. Beautiful old house with a bar/restaurant, good value for the price.

Plussat: Great location in the very center Owners speak english Beautiful courtyard

Miinukset: Bathroom not really clean

Plussat: Location was good. Beautiful courtyard. Breakfast was ok. Owner very pleasant. Beautiful town.

Miinukset: Towels don't absorb when drying. Pillow was full of something that sounded like straw! No good for allergy sufferers, like myself. Slept without pillow!

Plussat: We are a couple who stayed here for 3 nights, from 30 October-2 November. The guesthouse is in an historic house centred around a courtyard. The courtyard has character, and the carved furniture in the bedroom is nice. The hot water system works well. The manager speaks English, and she was very helpful in ringing the hotel at our next destination and in arranging local transport for us to temples and to the high speed rail station. The traditional bed was comfortable, with distinctive wheat pillows (last week one couple bought four of them). The meals we had at dinner were nice, and reasonably priced.

Miinukset: We were disappointed in our stay. We ordered a suite (not a standard room) but our room was small and cramped for anyone with a suitcase (couples have one each). The bathroom was tiny, with a toilet, shower and wash basin all squeezed into an area of 2-3sqm. The shower has no curtain, so nearly all the floor gets wet whenever you shower. The ceiling fan Is not very effective, with the whole room left in steam after showering (e.g. my hairspray can became moist all over). There is no safe in the room, nor in reception. The breakfast is basic and is an added charge. This accommodation cost us more than the 4 star Garden Hotel in Datong, which is far better

Plussat: Amazing staff... front desk girl help us a lot. Very nice real China atmosphere.

Miinukset: No cold beer.

Plussat: The location is great and the owners are friendly. They speak great English and were willing to do whatever it took make our stay pleasant.

Plussat: Location is great, right in the center of old town. Fair price. Staff is helpful.

Miinukset: Upon check in there were at least 5 cigarette butts in the plant pot inside the room, impossible to be missed by cleaning staff. On second day the towels were replenished (without me asking for it) however the cigarette butts remained, this tells me that priorities and cleaning standards may need to be revised here. The pillow cases were also seamed a bit dusty. Even though the rest of the room seamed clean, the above already causes a negative impression, it’s a shame because the place is actually alright to stay should these things be properly addressed.
