Hotels near Museum of The Service Guard of China, Pingyao

This property was upscale and well maintained while keeping with the traditional Chinese style. The staff treated us like family with Four Seasons type of service. They couldn’t do enough for you. The food was outstanding here for every meal and we looked forward to relaxing during tea time if we could get back for it and on occasion if we got back late they still would setup tea for us. There were so many little gems about this property and staff, but at turn down every night there would be fresh fruit and a snack as well as a special Chinese gift placed on your bed with a special note. Refrigerators in your room were always stocked with drinks and replenished for FREE. Drivers were also arranged for us to for pickup to and from the train station. We didn’t have to think about anything. Crystal and Nancy were like our family by the end of the trip and we wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Pingyao, but Jing’s!

The authenticity of the building and furniture, the friendliness of staff, and of course the location.

The staff went above and beyond to make sure we could make the most of our short stay, even driving us with their scooters to the nearby tourist attractions to get there in time before they closed!

This hotel is inside the ancient city, it is convenient to explore the city. Fast check in and out Pleasant staff Hotel is not crowded. I only saw one guest throughout my one day stay The next day, I got up early and I was able to walk the entire city (no crowds) I felt very safe The hotel does not have a restaurant, however one is not needed; there are numerous restaurants in the city. I ordered from Meituan. Breakfast the next day was simple but more than enough for me: toast, jelly, fried egg and bacon. There are also numerous options for breakfast in the city. I enjoyed my stay very much, will definitely stay again. Tours that you can take: Wang’s Courtyard is 30 minutes by car and Zhangby’s Fortress is about 30 minutes from Wang’s Courtyard. Traveling tips: To get to Pingyao by train: Beijing to Pingyao: only a few times per day (This is the best option if you are coming from Beijing) Otherwise: Beijing to Pingyao or Shanghai to Pingyao Air China Taiyuan to Pingyao: Rake the fast train that is ~ 30-40 minutes. Business class is 56 rmb Coming back to Beijing (If you miss direct train to Beijing) -Pingyao rail station to Taiyuan South. ( Do not get off on Taiyuan station, you must to go Taiyuan South) I got off the wrong station and had to take a taxi to Taiyuan South which is about 15 minutes with light traffic Taiyuan South to Beijing: 3 hours by fast train. I hope my reviews help you explore the city better

Very charming room and courtyard right on the main road by the South Gate. The location cannot be beaten. The family room (2 double beds) is charming and the courtyard is a typical traditional court with the red lanterns. Staff was extremely friendly, they explained everything and let us keep the room until 3pm at no extra charge.
