- Niamh (10/5): - Lovely host who speaks excellent english. Cute courtyard to hang out in and yummy breakfasts
- Sami (8/5): Price/quality range this is a great deal - Bathroom and shower in the rooms so if you stay in a room by yourself like I had it’s very comfortable.
The host did my laundry for a small price. This makes it easy for me so I don’t spend halve a day.
- Mathilde (10/5): Séjour au calme super agréable - Chambre avec salle de bain spacieuse et surtout literie super confortable. Emplacement très calme, et très proche de l’ancienne ville : parfait pour visiter. Petit déjeuner très bon!

Personnel extraordinaire, hyper serviable !
On va jusqu’à vous mettre la valise dans la voiture …
Petit déjeuner 10/10, chambre 10/10 Rien
- Amea (10/5): Geweldig! - Hele fijne kamer, super groot bed en hoog plafond. Beetje weinig loopruimte/opslag maar ook ruime en nette badkamer. Heel lief en behulpzaam personeel en leuke binnenplaats. Eigenlijk niks. Kamer zag er wel anders uit dan op de foto's maar het was een upgrade dus kan zeker niet klagen.
- Edward Yu Yung (10/5): Great value & location, nice owner! - Great location close to old train station and close to old city north gate Shower drain a bit slow
- Laura (10/5): - The host is amazing and so kind! Thank you again !!

- Ana (10/5): - The chinese breakfast was really good.
The host was super kind.
- Rosa (10/5): A fabulous place centrally located with great hosts - La ubicación y el trato de los anfitriones,

Accueil de l’hôte remarquable
Je recommande
- janusz (10/5): exceptional - It was clean and tidy, and the staff was very helpful. I spoke English with the receptionist , which isn't common.I had no problem getting to the hostel. Unlike most hostels, it's well-marked. I recommend
- alejandro (10/5): -
- Ofra (8/5): - בעלת ההוסטל דוברת אנגלית, נחמדה, זמינה, שמחה לעזור המיקום מצויין קרוב לעיר העתיקה
- Maxim (10/5): Amazing place, look no further - Haiyan, the host, was incredibly kind and helpful. Great place to stay in Pingyao, look no further. Great price to quality ratio.
- veronique (8/5): A lovey stay. My hostess could speak good English and was really nice - I chose a shared room. Luckily I was on my own otherwise, I think it would be too small for 4 people. But I guess it was very cheap. The room can fit 2 people, no more.
- Viajante do mundo (7/5): Boa - Funvcionaria
Localização Quarto
Banheiro
- Filip (10/5): -
- Kevin (10/5): - Vous ne trouverez pas de meilleur rapport qualité/prix !! L'hostel est super bien placé, à moins de 5 minutes à pieds de la vieille ville.
L'espace commun est super, avec de nombreuses plantes et un bar. Il est possible de prendre le déjeuner ou son repas sur place, et même de profiter de massages. Voyageant fin octobre, il commençait à faire un peu frais dans les chambres. Mais les couettes sont assez épaisses pour ne pas que cela impacte votre nuit.
- Kane (9/5): Amazing - I had a lovely 3 night stay here. Jiaxin the host is a lovely kind lady who looked after me. She made the stay feel personal in a good way. The Guesthouse itself is a beautiful open building with nice sized rooms. There are a lot of services available such as tours and food/drink. The location is perfect with a less than 5 minute walk to the ancient city. I felt very welcome and comfortable and would definitely recommend.
- Valerie (10/5): - La gentillesse du personnel. Le charme de l'endroit. C'est à moins d'1km de la vieille ville. Le bus 108 qui part de la gare vous dépose à 200m de l'auberge. Vous pouvez manger sur place pour pas cher. La propriétaire parle bien anglais. J'ai adoré. Rien. Tout était parfait.
- Francesca (9/5): Soggiorno comodo e personale accogliente - Posizione ottima e struttura accogliente. Il personale parla inglese ed é gentilissimo! Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo.
- Joris (10/5): -

- Petros (8/5): - Good budget option. The host is very friendly and helpful.
- Damir (10/5): - Sehr herzliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber.
Die Unterkunft hat einen sehr traditionellen Stil, so dass es im Einklang mit der historischen Stadt ist.
- Damir (10/5): - Weil es so schön war, waren wir noch eine weitere Nacht.
- Giovanni (9/5): - La disponibilità e la cortesia dello staff Nulla
- Piero (10/5): -
- Juliette (10/5): - Nice hotel very well placed and easy to access, very nice receptionists. She helped me call a taxi early in the morning as I would have missed my train if I had taken the bus.
- Jose Antonio (10/5): Muy agradable - La amabilidad de la dueña. Intenta ayudar al máximo en lo que necesitas Nada
- Tim (10/5): -
- Apolo (10/5): Inesquecível - Gostei muito da simpatia e da atenção do staff, já estive em unidades hoteleiras mais caras onde o cuidado pelo hóspede é facilmente desprezado. Outro ponto importante de salientar são os vários serviços disponíveis (lavandaria, pequeno almoço, excursões turísticas, etc) condições que oferecem um maior grau conforto e tranquilidade à estadia.
P.S O pequeno almoço tradicional chinês é fantástico :)
- FraMae (10/5): Ci tornerei - Personale gentilissimo, camere con letti enormi e pulite, colazione fantastica e posizione perfetta: non dentro le mure (per cui servono le golf car per portare i bagagli) ma immediatamente al di fuori di queste...due minuti a piedi e si è in pieno centro!
- Homersa (10/5): Exceptional - - Clean and huge room and bathroom.
- Cheap and good homemade food and drinks.
- Location. Near the bus stops and a 5 minute walk to the old.rown.
- Great owners. - Nothing.
- Sandy (10/5): Highlg recommend staying there. Amazing place! - Totally amazing place to stay! Highly recommended.
First of all, it is only 7 mins walk from the ancient city of pangyao. It is also so nearby the railway station. You can go by DIDI or bus, both are so convenient.
Second, the decor of the place is AMAZING! I couldn’t help take pictures and video when i first came it. They even have a swing and glass-fish!
The staff are so friendly and nice people. The Owner gave me water when i first came and when i left. Whenever i ask for anything she always helps.
They have bar and food there with nice prices. I didn’t eat there but saw the food, it looked so delicious.
The rooms were also amazing, it is two levels bed and mine was the one above. Surprisingly, it was so comfortable too. When i move it doesn’t vibrate into the bottom bed. The toilet is clean and they have shower gel, hair shampoo, small towel, and toothbrush with toothpaste ready for you to use. The air conditioner works fine and the wi-fi is connected from my room. Nothing, everything was perfect.
- Yanin (9/5): I and family are very happy to stay here and get a wa and kind welcome from the best host. We will definitely stay here - The bed and room are comfortable with the whole family. The toilet drain was not flow well and it’s flooding thru door way if you shower too long.
- Oliver (10/5): Very nice stay and super friendly host. Thank you for having us! -
- Lee (7/5): Good - Very nice n helpful staff. Good n convenient location very near the ancient city. Room is small with basic facilities.
- Joseph (10/5): No need to look further! - The host of this hostel is lovely and very attentive to your wants and needs. I highly recommend staying here. It's very quiet and in a great location just outside the north gate! Hard to find anything I didn't like

- Sara (9/5): Superb - Great value for the money!!
The hostel is about ten minutes walk from the North gate,The best part of our stay was the host who was really friendly,
We initially booked two beds in a dormitory, but when we got there she was so kind to change the reservation and she gave us a double room which was nice and clean.
- Yucheng (10/5): Exceptional -
- Valesca (9/5): I recommend it - It is a very comfortable and homely hostel. The room has a bathroom and shower, clean sheets and air conditioning. You can arrive late, they welcome you with warm water and guide you in whatever you need. The reception person is very kind and always helps you.
You can easily walk to the old city. I would only improve the cleanliness of the bedroom floor a little more.
- Luca (10/5): Welcoming and warm hosts - Very clean and quiet guest house just less than ten minutes walking from the ancient town north gate. Everything ok
- Kate (10/5): Exceptional - Super friendly and helpful hosts. Guesthouse is in a quiet location only a short walk to the old city. Several delicious breakfast options available at reasonable prices.

- Martin (10/5): Best value for money, lovely served by the owners - Kind owners. The lady could speak English so she can recommend places and was nice to talk to. I one day tried the breakfast and was nice. Kind of 3 blocks outside the north gate, quite easy to find. They have a beautiful aquarium I spent time everyday admiring it. Super recomendable, both Pingyao and this guest house. The mattress was a bit hard for western standards, but it's good for your back.
- Siguax (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ngoro (10/5): The Guesthouse is managed by husband and wife, she is very helpful - The hostess of the hotel is a very sympathetic person: she will help, explain, translate. Good location.
- Angela (10/5): Exceptional - The Guesthouse is managed by husband and wife. They are both nice and helpful. They let me use the kitchen to prepare a fresh soup for my little baby and I apreciated it. The location is perfect to visit the city. You can walk 5 minutes to get to a close furnished supermarket and a 7up shop, also many restaurants around and temples to visit (you can buy a unique tiket to visit the 21 temples of Pingyao Ancient City). They speak quite good english (expecially the wife) so there is a good communication. Finally, there is a good quality/price service. I didnt like the fact that breakfast is not included, so every morning I needed to pay 35 yen to get a coffe and an egg. Also they ask for money when you are using washing machine to wash clothes (4 yen per piece, even though she made a discount for me).
The room style is a bit old fashion and they could take care of cleaning in a better way (wash the window curtains and window glasses for example).
- Luca (10/5): Recommended - Nice, authentic and cosy place. The couple who manages the property is helpful and very welcome, interesting to talk to and with plenty of good advices. Always smiley and kind, easy going, ready to help for anything you might need.
- Maria (10/5): Excellent - Everything was perfect. The staff is super helpful and nice. We recommend this guesthouse a lot. Excellent coffe. They speak good english!
- Tong (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was so excellent😊😊😊.
The place is very convinient to the old city only by walking. It is also easy to get taxi and not far from the train stations.
The host was very friendly and helpful. She tried to speak with me in both English abd Chinese so i can practise my Chinese.😊
Im happy to find such a good place for my trip.😊 The street get in is a bit rough. Hope government will fix it soon.
- Tonyrna (10/5): Best hostel in town - The owner speaks English and she is very kind. I booked a bed in a dormitory but she gave me the entire room for me with a private toilet. The bed is hard but I slept so well. I highly recommend it! Nothing
- Alice (10/5): The perfect hostel - The host was absolutely adorable, she was so helpful with everything and extremely nice
- Karol (10/5): Exceptional - For a very low price I've got a room only for myself. They gave me not only towel for free but also shower gel, shampoo, toothpaste and even toothbrush. Owners speak English communicatively and they are very helpful. It was hard to find this place.
- Isaac (10/5): Amazing staff, helped us get the busses we needed to the sights and gave us maps of the town. -
