this really is a special place. An old house each room is different with a raised lang for a bed which was very comfortable. The staff were so kind and helpful.

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!

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

The staff was so kind and happy all the time, they helped me a lot and they speak English, which is pretty rare in China, even in some hotels. They gave me a map and recommended some places, also asked a taxi for me for the next day that I had my train to Beijing in the morning. The shared dorm was clean, had shampoo, air conditioner, clean sheets, futon, and pillow. Also curtains for privacy. I enjoyed my stay a lot. They even gave me a little souvenir on my way out and free water. Thank you for a very pleasant stay. Amazing price and just five minutes walking from North Gate of the old city. Supermarket right on the corner.

The city is undeniably beautiful and feels like a living museum, perfectly preserved in time. However, it’s very touristy, with shops that all seem to offer the same souvenirs, making it feel like a true tourist trap. It’s worth a quick visit, but I wouldn’t recommend spending too much time there.
Additionally, I was disturbed to see many pigs and other animals kept in small quarters in some stores. If you’re sensitive to animal welfare issues, this may be hard to stomach. Overall, while the city has its charm, be mindful of its tourist-centric nature.

Beautiful ancient city, and you still can feel the daily normal leaving of its inhabitants. Liked the most to have 99.9999% chinese tourist at this time of the year, Mid March. Only 4 westerners encountered. Chinese History at its best. Lots of historical places to visit and learn from ancient China. Unmissable for local and foreigner travellers.

Incredibly beautiful town, totally made up of traditional Chinese architecture (at least on the main streets). You can buy a ticket that allows entry into many of the sites, including the Draft Bank, Temple of the City God, Confucius Temple and so many more, and then spend a day wandering around exploring them as you come across them. (Note that some of the smaller ones have almost no English signs, so it can be difficult to know what they are!). We bought the ticket from a window nearby (1 minute east) of the draft bank, but there may be other places. It's also interesting to go up the City Walls and see the town from above.

Fantastic historic walled town where you can easily escape the tourist area. Very very unique however Pollution was a big problem during our stay as it is in the midde of a huge area full of factories. We spent the 2 days with our masks on.

We visited in November so starting to get chilly at night.
We visited in November so starting to get chilly at night. The numerous museums are interesting and give a good idea of times past. Great food in town but one or two restaurant and shop owners give more hustle than we'd like. Not too many tourists at the time we visited and we pretty much had the whole wall to ourselves. The old town is a comfortable size to walk around over 2 days. The 3 day "tourist pass" is well worth the price we paid.

The perfect place to stay in Pingyao. The position is perfect, in the middle of the ancient city of Pingyao and just on one of the best Pingyao streets, with restaurants, clubs and shops, close to the main attraction of the city. The rooms are luxurious and charming. The breakfast is very good and you can choose between Chinese or west breakfast. The staff is the best you can wish for, and they will provide everything you need. They also provide shuttle service from the train station. I recommend this place.
The hotel staff is very considerate, friendly and love to help at anytime, they response very fast and helped to arrange cars to pick us up at the station and take us to the temples. It's located inside the old town which makes it super easy to visit everywhere. Strongly recommended! Nos gusta mucho, especialmente con la gente y servicio!
We had a great stay at the hotel. We were met at the train station and ferried quickly to the hotel. On arrival we were taken to our room. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a very large room at no extra cost. This hotel is highly recommended. The staff are very attentive and respectful.
The hotel is located in the historical center, minutes away from the main road but without the noise. It's an old courtyard, amazingly restored. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We loved the place and our rooms!
The hotel is in the middle of the Old Town. The entrance is a restaurant so you always have food and drinks around. The hotel is beautiful with all kinds of old details.
