Guest Reviews
- Tommaso (7/5): Nice location but better cleaning is needed - The location is great and the hotel common areas looked great. Notice that the locations in Apple Maps or Google maps are few hundred meters off and we had difficulty finding the hotel under the heavy rain. When the hotel indicated 70 meters from the “city gate” it refers to the Chinese style gates of the pedestrian area and not the city walls like in European cities and what Apple Maps says. So it’s more like 300 meters from the east wall gate. Our room could have been cleaned better, especially the floor and the walls. The heater was turned off so we found a cold shower once came back to our room at 23. Our blanket had a few stains of several centimetres and a hole 2x2cm
- Ana (9/5): Hotel ideal para estar en Pingyao - La ubicación en pleno centro del Pueblo Antiguo de Pingyao y el personal, las chicas fueron súper atentas y muy simpáticas. La habitación era pequeña pero muy limpia. Nada, todo fue muy bien.
- Nora (9/5): Very nice stay in Old Pinyao - The hotel is located in an old house in the center of the Old City. Great location. The best: the staff, nice, gentle and always ready to help. And Alice, the manager, speaks fluent English, gave us all the needed info, helped to arrange transportation and even bought medicines for us. 12 points!!!! Thanks a lot! Warmly recommended.
- Beatrice (10/5): - In the heart of Pingyao . Lovely hotel with very nice staff! Thank you for your hospitality!
- Néstor (8/5): -
- Kalik (7/5): -
- Nicolò (10/5): - Bello e nel pieno cuore della città antica. Staff gentilissimo, non parlano inglese ma si impegnano comunque per farsi capire, stanza pulita e accogliente. Nulla
- yiming (10/5): - Excellent location right in the middle of Pingyao ancient town surrounded by restaurants and shops etc. All the staffs are friendly and helpful. They offered drop off and pick up from the railway station at a very little cost and because cars are not allowed inside of the ancient city, someone from the hotel will wait and greet at the entrance gate. Room was clean and comfortable. Enjoy and immerse yourself in the beauty and charming ancient China. Nothing
- GUO (10/5): - The inn is located near the bustling South Street in the ancient city, within easy reach of all scenic spots. The front desk staff were warm and patient, providing excellent service. They gave us maps and explained the routes to major attractions as well as local characteristic restaurants. They addressed our questions promptly and patiently, and even gave us local specialty souvenirs when we checked out.
- binjun (10/5): very nice! - The hotel is located on Yamen Street, enjoying an excellent location. It is very close to Yaxian The receptionist lady is very attentive and has a pleasant attitude. Looking forward to staying here again!! he room is extremely clean and tidy. The Chinese-style courtyard offers a great experience. The mattress is very soft and comfortable, and the room is quiet. The breakfast has a wide variety of options and tastes good.
- tiantian (10/5): - Hotel nel centro storico di Pingyao, che ti permette di girare tutta la città antica a piedi in poco tempo. La stanza era molto bella e pulita, si affacciava su un cortile interno tranquillo. Parte dello staff parlava bene l’inglese e ci ha dato suggerimenti validi su cosa vedere e dove mangiare.
- ANNA (10/5): Great ancient buildings for comfortable travel! - Excellent location right in the middle of Pingyao ancient town surrounded by restaurants and shops etc. All the staffs are friendly and helpful. They offered drop off and pick up from the railway station at a very little cost and because cars are not allowed inside of the ancient city, someone from the hotel will wait and greet at the entrance gate. Room was clean and comfortable. Enjoy and immerse yourself in the beauty and charming ancient China. Everything is fine. There is nothing I am dissatisfied with.
- shufen (10/5): - Everything about it was amazing. First of all, location is absolutly perfect, right in the center of the old town, right next to the crossing of the two main steets. And despite that, we were well isolated from the noise in the evening. The room was very cosy, located at the back of a traditional courtyard. It was spotless and looked great. We even received a lovely little carpackage with local specialities. And last but not least, the personnel was extremely kind and accomodating. Alice gave us all the tips and information on how best to visit Pingyao and helped us with reservations and ticket purchasing, etc…
- haojie (10/5): - The service at this hotel is truly exceptional, making you feel right at home. The rooms are clean, tidy, and well-appointed, ensuring a very comfortable stay. The hotel's location is also excellent, making transportation extremely convenient. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay, and I highly recommend this hotel to everyone.
- yimin (10/5): - To say the least, it's great here. The traditional style of architecture is very beautiful. The receptionist is very enthusiastic. They can speak English fluently and give us a lot of tips. Pingyao is very lively during the day... but it is rarely visited in the early morning and late at night. I recommend everyone to stay in this red lantern city for one night... This small and exquisite hotel is in the middle of the street, which is convenient to go to the main attractions of the castle. When we checked out, they even gave us some snacks and Pingyao vinegar as farewell gifts.

- Daniel (10/5): A perfect trip - The environment is very good, the room is clean and tidy, the location is very good, the front desk is thoughtful, carefully explains how to visit the scenic spots in the scenic spot, polite greetings are very warm, and give a gift, a pleasant stay.
- Amore (10/5): - The inn is located in the ancient city. It is a three-way courtyard, and many scenic spots are around it, which is very convenient. The beautiful women at the front desk were very enthusiastic and patient. They answered my questions and solved my needs. Seeing that I had a lot of luggage, they helped me upgrade my room and helped me carry my luggage to the room. The room is fully equipped and tidy. The breakfast in the inn is Chinese and Western. The overall experience is good. I will choose to stay here in the future.
- Moore (10/5): - The hotel is located in the center of the ancient city, which is very convenient to go anywhere! The environment is elegant and very quiet! The front desk service was very thoughtful. They took the initiative to give me a map to explain how to play, and gave me a gift when I checked out. I was very happy! And the important thing is that there are two kittens in the store. It's so cute! I think I will come again next time.
- xinyi (10/5): - Everything is great. The room is very comfortable and clean, with a strategic location, right in the old town. Most importantly, we would like to thank Alice, the hotel manager, for her carefulness and thoughtfulness. She has provided us with all-round help. This hotel is absolutely perfect.
- Frank (7/5): Je n’y retournerais jamais - C’était propre et bien placé, le personnel était bon Aucune indication extérieure avec le nom de l’hôtel, on a tourné 15mn avant de trouver sur les indications d’un commerçant. Chambre exiguë, aucune place pour son sac, oreillers durs, salle de bain très petite et très froide
- Helen (10/5): -
- Théo (8/5): Bien pour le calme. - En plein cœur de la ville. Calme. La possibilité de réserver des massages. La gentillesse et disponibilité du personnel. La literie est bonne. Il n’est pas évident de trouver l’établissement sur Apple Plans, il faut chercher « Pingyao Zaibiechu Inn ». Chambre un peu petite.
- Alejandro (8/5): -
- lucia (10/5): Elección perfecta - Todo. Cama súper cómoda, lugar precioso, baño completo y nuevo, habitación amplia y el hombre que atendía súper amable. Nada
- Sara (9/5): -
- SANTIAGO (10/5): Muy buen hotel con excelente ubicación - El personal excelente y muy servicial. La ubicación espectacular. Me gustó todo. Si tuviera que decir algo sería que estaban de obras, pero imagino cómo quedará después de la obra y será más bonito
- Ruth Marisol (9/5): - Ubicado en pleno centro de pinyao , un Hutong tradicional muy bien adaptado, con acceso a tiendas restaurantes y a 400 metros de la muralla. Cama muy cómoda, cuarto de baño correcto, todo muy limpio. Personal muy amable y colaborador. La señoras de la limpieza y el desayuno muy simpáticas y amables. Aunque se entiende que el espacio es pequeño por tratarse de una casa tradicional ,adaptar mobiliario para ubicar la maleta , implementar alguna forma de almacenamiento y colgadores para toallas en el cuarto de baño.
- stachl (10/5): - The service was completely unexpected. Before check-in, you will ask when to arrive in Pingyao, and you will be informed in advance that you will arrive at the store, and you will not take a detour at all. After check-in, give us a detailed introduction to the scenic spots. The yard is decorated in antique color, and the room is warm and tidy, which really feels like home. Next time I come to stay here, I will definitely introduce my friends to live here. Thank you, the girl at the front desk.
- Maria (9/5): - La chica de recepción era encantadora y te ayudaba en todo Nada, solo que la habitación era bastante pequeña y complicado abrir las maletas
- Stéphane (9/5): - Very cute. It was clean and modern Nothing
- Miles (7/5): Good price, good location, friendly staff - but… - Location. Price was good. Friendly staff. And a very sweet kitten in the reception! (It was on a lead though ☹️) Damp cold rooms. Very small bathroom, everything got wet. Bedding also felt damp. Small rooms. I get it’s an old building, but it felt old and poorly adapted…
- Francisco (9/5): Buen sitio - El interior del hotel es muy auténtico
- Laura (9/5): Perfecte! - L’habitació està molt bé, té força espai i no li falta de res. El personal és un 10. L’esmorzar continental, no val la pena
- Anna (9/5): Pobyt w tym hotelu pomaga poczuć klimat dawnych Chin. - Klimat, budynek i lokalizacja. Bardzo fajne miejsce, zachęca do spędzenia również trochę czasu na terenie obiektu, w którym jest sporo przytulnych zakątków 😁 możliwość masażu na terenie hotelu była fajną opcją
- Catalina (9/5): - Very nice and helpful staff, nice location, lots of toiletries included Room lockers, WC was inside of the shower, rooms too small
- Miguel Angel (10/5): -
- Mattia (10/5): -
- Juan Jose (9/5): -
- Elisa (8/5): -
- Alan (10/5): - The room is very clean and nice. The staff is very enthusiastic, and the lady at the front desk is very nice. They gave me a map of the ancient city and enthusiastically marked the address and performance time. It is located between South Street and the county government, and it is very convenient to visit the scenic spots.
- Tommaso (5/5): Struttura in pieno centro storico, camere vecchiotte e non perfettamente pulite, c'era molta umidità - Posizione centrale Arredo delle camere
- André (9/5): Jolie découverte. - Bel établissement niché dans une maison traditionnelle en plein cœur de la vieille ville. Personnel charmant à la réception, propreté irréprochable, très calme malgré la situation centrale, bon petit déjeuner. Attractions touristiques majeures à deux pas. Ce n'est pas en soi une critique mais pour éviter la surprise. Le taxi vous dépose à la porte de la vieille ville et il faut un peu marcher pour y arriver. La gare "TGV" est à plusieurs kilomètres du centre ville. Mais c'est valable pour tous les hôtels dans cette zone.
- Livio71 (10/5): - Il soggiorno in una antica casa della città antica. Le stanze, sebbene piccole, sono piene di fascino. Passare da un cortile all'altro è magico Non si può parlare di difetti considerando che l'albergo è ricavato in una residenza della città antica. Il bagno è minuscolo con la doccia che bagna il water, il lavandino e' nella camera da letto. Ripeto è una cosa che si accetta vista la particolarità del luogo. Al mio arrivo mi hanno chiesto se volevo la colazione occidentale o cinese: io ho chiesto quella occidentale, sbagliando; non sanno farla e soprattutto vedevo gli altri ospiti della struttura mangiare con gusto la colazione cinese
- Wilma (10/5): -
- Emanuele Colombo (10/5): Favoloso - Hotel favoloso in stile cinese, con cortili interni tipici, stanza pulita e grande, bagno con doccia ben funzionante.
Personale gentile e disponibile.
Nel pieno centro della città antica.
Colazione a scelta tra cinese e continentale, abbondante. Niente.
- Luca (9/5): Alloggiare nella storia della Cina - Fascinosa struttura all'interno delle mura di Pingyao. L'entrata non rende giustizia di questo piccolo albergo ma varcata la soglia sembra di entrare nella storia cinese. Ambienti che sembrano usciti dai film di Zhang Yimou (Lanterne rosse), conservati con gusto e accuratezza. Felicemente ubicato in una delle strade di passeggio ma il sonno non ne risente. Cortile interno dove ci può riposare guardando le stelle. Personale simpatico e disponibile. Stanza arredata in linea con l'architettura, pulita e sufficientemente ampia. Simpatici gesti di commiato. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo.
- Javier (9/5): - La ubicación y lo bonito que era el hotel Espacio justo en la habitación para las maletas
- Alessio (10/5): Perfect position for city tours - I had a great stay! The staff was very kind and helpful. The location is excellent for exploring the city. I really liked the room, even though there was no fridge. I also enjoyed a good in-room massage at a reasonable price. Highly recommended! Nothing
- Julie (9/5): Stay here! - Location and staff! Nothing I didn’t like.
- Jorn (8/5): Very good - Location and staff Breakfast is poor
- Julie (9/5): Highly recommend - Location, the room, and the staff
- Tomasz (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location, friendly staff
- Mariano (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alba (10/5): Excellent - Excellent service and commodities. Really helpful
- Francesco (10/5): Wonderful day - All Nothing
- Chiara (10/5): Perfect stay; kind and really helpful staff. 10/10 + - This hotel is located in the very center of the city, so it is extremely convenient in order to fully enjoy the city by walk. At the same time, the bedrooms are well inside and away from the main street so that one can enjoy a perfectly noiseless night of sleep.
Most importantly, the whole staff and especially the onwer are EXTREMELY kind, trustworthy and helpful: they even helped us shipping a bulky shopping item we bought in Pingyao to Italy.
Absolutely recommended to any traveller and will 100% come back here next time I will visit Pingyao.
- Larisa (8/5): Beautiful experience! - The style! All great
- Martín (10/5): Best of the best - It has been one of the best hotel in my china travel so far.
They let us stayed in our room until the time of our train.
The location is perfect, just in the middle of the city.
It’s even better than in the photos.
They even gave us a gift when we left
- Martino (9/5): Superb - Lovely cozy warm place with a friendly and kind staff in a convenient position inside ancient Ping Yao - I would have liked to stay more than just one night.
- Jen (10/5): Wonderful little gem smack in the middle of Pingyao ancient city - Excellent location right in the middle of Pingyao ancient town surrounded by restaurants and shops etc. All the staffs are friendly and helpful. They offered drop off and pick up from the railway station at a very little cost and because cars are not allowed inside of the ancient city, someone from the hotel will wait and greet at the entrance gate. Room was clean and comfortable. Enjoy and immerse yourself in the beauty and charming ancient China. Nothing.
- Timothy (10/5): Wished that we could stay a lot longer - Everything about it was amazing. First of all, location is absolutly perfect, right in the center of the old town, right next to the crossing of the two main steets. And despite that, we were well isolated from the noise in the evening.
The room was very cosy, located at the back of a traditional courtyard. It was spotless and looked great. We even received a lovely little carpackage with local specialities.
And last but not least, the personnel was extremely kind and accomodating. Alice gave us all the tips and information on how best to visit Pingyao and helped us with reservations and ticket purchasing, etc… Nothing at all
- Giovanna (10/5): Lovely location and very helpful staff! - Alice was amazing and 100% available all the time.. All the staff was great even though their English was limited.
The hotel is in a nice old building, the rooms are simple but nice and clean. It's right in the city centre but you wouldn't feel the noise of the main street from the rooms. Maybe it'd be nice to have breakfast options as they have a small cafeteria.. could be nice to have some western pastries etc..
