Located in Pingyao Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lao Cheng Gen Hostel is a 10-minute walk from Xianya, the former county government.

We had a great time at Pingyao Laochenggen Inn. The room is really cozy and we were feeling like spending time in the past while having all the modern amenities. Our host was fantastic, he is extremely friendly, helpful and supportive. All in all one of the best accommodations we had in China.

Pingyao Ji Family Courtyard Inn, hotel in Pingyao

Housed in a 400-year-old courtyard built in Qing Dynasty, Pingyao Jintaisheng Hotel used to be the only flour factory in Pingyao Ancient City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, at the end of Qing Dynasty....

Staff were very friendly and helpful even with limited English. Organised taxis to and from train station. Location excellent, beautiful courtyard, and all clean. Great Chinese traditional furniture in room but it’s all very dark brown, so makes the room look/feel dark.

Pingyao Baichanghong Inn, hotel in Pingyao

Just next to Xietongqing Unincorporated Bank Museum, Pingyao Baichanghong Hotel is a paper-cut-themed guest house located right in the heart of Pingyao County, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Beautiful accommodation at the centre of ancient city of Pingyao in the bustling South Street. The owner and staff are very friendly, warm and helpful. They picked us up from the station and brought us to Ancient City (cars are not allowed inside) and also brought us on the day of departure, both for very reasonable fees, because we were with 5, too many for a taxi. The hotel and rooms were in a traditional style, allowing for great pictures.The beds and cushions were very comfortable for us. The bathroom and toilet are combined in a small room, but it wasn't bothersome.The owner knows the nearby shops and good spots to go to, definitely ask for tips. We enjoyed our 2 nights and 3 days in Pingyao a lot, definitely recommended.

    This is a superb old guest house within the city walls, has a traditional and very comfortable room and a very nice courtyard. Everything in the room worked perfectly. Our host was very helpful in all respects and was able to sort out an additional night when our train was cancelled. It is located 10 mins from the north gate and 10 mins from all the ancient city attractions. Highly recommended and great value.

    An amazing stay in central Pingyao Old Town. The hotel is very stylishly decorated (in contrast to many other cheesy ones in Pingyao. The room is spacious and the courtyard is nice and quiet. The breakfast is mostly homemade and delicious. The staff is super friendly and attentive. They treated us with tea upon arrival, then afternoon tea. They even remember we preferred whole meal bread from the previous day’s breakfast. It’s not a cheap place (given the general price level in China) but it’s a very memorable experience.

    The restaurant food was actually really great, although the "free breakfast" was just a toast with a runny egg and a couple of dumpling reheated in the microwave. Its an overall quite cheap hostel.

    The hotel has wonderful decor and atmosphere. We loved sitting in the lovely courtyard balcony with a cool drink after a day of sightseeing. The hotel is in a quieter side street, which is ideal for peaceful sleep but only a few mins from the busier part of the old town. The host was exceptionally helpful and accommodating. We were running late for our train and he graciously took us to nearby taxi rank on his scooter - with a smile. Lovely Pingyao and lovely hotel!
