Great accommodation experience, the location is very good, it's only a few minutes' walk from Xiaximen to the inn, and it's also close to the main street. The children love the bunk beds, the room is well heated, with floor heating and central air conditioning. The inn also provides free breakfast. The breakfast includes scrambled eggs with vinegar, which is very delicious, and goji berry millet porridge is very nutritious. The owner's family also offers free wearing of ancient costumes at designated locations (you only need to pay for makeup), and there are also souvenirs, which is very heartwarming. The housekeeper is also very enthusiastic, introducing tourist routes and providing 🈶️ free maps, which is really thoughtful. The housekeeper is also responsible for picking up and dropping off at the city gate. I would recommend it to friends

Very beautiful guesthouse with amazing patios!
Very nice owners! The lady can speak English and help book tours with a guide which helped us a lot.
Breakfast available, both Chinese and continental.
Very good location within the old city, close to one of the main streets.
We loved our stay there and highly recommend this guesthouse!
I have been on business trips all year round. This store gives me the feeling that I am doing it with my heart. I also said it with my heart: I looked at what everyone said before I went. I was still on the highway in the early morning. I called the boss and said it late. The boss was very patient to point the route; In addition, the room is the same as the picture, and it feels clean and comfortable. It is very natural. The first floor is the owner's own restaurant and store, which is all available. Parking is convenient and it is really convenient to Baquan Gorge. Because it is difficult to go to the scenic spot at noon, it is difficult to find a location in the parking lot, so I told the boss to stop at the door. He also explained and helped find a place. I really appreciate it. I think in all aspects, this store is doing it with care, and I recommend everyone to stay, and I will go again if I have the opportunity.

So fortunate to have stumbled upon this place! Its design aesthetic is exactly what I prioritize for my trips. While standard hotel rooms are a dime a dozen, a place with such meticulous design, from the courtyard to the rooms, is a rare gem. Having a unique living experience while traveling, something you wouldn't find in a typical city, truly feels like an added bonus.
You can genuinely feel the owner's dedication; they are incredibly accommodating. On a rainy day, they personally drove us to grab some beer and even made coffee for us – that unique grasshopper grinder deserves a special shout-out! My overall impression was one of pure, resort-style relaxation and indulgence.
In comparison, while the objective advantages are also top-notch, they almost take a back seat. The location is superb; all ancient city attractions are within walking distance. A taxi to the high-speed train station was surprisingly quicker than from locations outside the city. If you prefer to stay in, you can enjoy tea and conversation in the charming courtyard or tea room. The four-story layout ensures each room has its own distinct charm. I definitely plan to return to experience the other room types.

It was Women's Day, and it was another Saturday and Sunday. My wife and I took a break from our busy schedule to visit Pingyao Ancient City. We booked this hotel online. From the moment we booked, the hotel manager contacted us. Meeting us at the high-speed rail station was a pleasant surprise. We also gave my wife flowers for Women's Day (though I hadn't already given her one) and a beautiful jewelry box as a souvenir. This stay was absolutely perfect! The service was impeccable, from the front desk to the housekeeping staff. The rooms were spacious and bright, well-equipped, and the bedding was soft and comfortable. The hotel's location is also fantastic (right in the heart of the ancient city). Both the amenities and the service were top-notch. Every detail was meticulously thought out, and they were always ready to help. (The tour ended at 10:30 PM, and the hotel manager was waiting ten minutes early to take us back to the hotel.) It was an impeccable stay and I highly recommend it to any discerning traveler! This hotel completely exceeded my expectations!

The stay was very cozy. I really liked the style of the inn. Overall it was pretty good! The room hygiene, facilities and breakfast are all very good. The location is also good. The inn is located behind the main street and is very quiet without any noise. It is only a few hundred meters away from the main street. They also gave us afternoon tea with fruits in the afternoon. It is good and I will definitely recommend it to my friends who are traveling.

Great location, quiet neighborhood but not far from the center. The room is clean , comfortable and has the atmosphere of an old traditional home. It is the service that needs significant improvement to warrant the current four star rating. The price was for two people and yet, there was one tea bag per person, a very small roll of toilet paper and the facial tissue bixes were almost empty. The breakfast was no better: ine boiled egg, a small bun, a bowl of sweet porridge and a tiny slice (about one tenth) of a sweet potato and a root vegetable, with a tiny portion of pickled cabbage. For a mainland B&B well below standard. What’s more, the old nan who was on duty in the morning would pick up dirt from the floor while handling food with bare hands and had trouble finding toilet paper in the storage room while I waited outside in freezing weather. The host is friendly and helped with orientation and organizing transfers to the railway station, so with little improvement in service this could be a good choice for Pingyao.

Our kids absolutely loved it! It truly felt like stepping into an immersive Jin merchant's compound. The lanterns lit up at night created such a magical ambiance! The location is also very convenient. Huge thanks to the host for the excellent travel tips and delicious food recommendations. We also joined a guided tour to visit the various museums in the ancient city. Even when we checked out two hours late, the host was so considerate, asking if we needed more time to rest! Overall, a truly wonderful experience!

I compared many hotels online and chose this one. After placing my order, a housekeeper contacted me. The pick-up and drop-off service was fantastic. I didn't even have to carry my luggage; the front desk guy helped me along the way. Everyone else was incredibly welcoming, making it feel like home. The hotel's setting is an antique courtyard house, giving it a time-travel feel and a sense of history. The room amenities and cleanliness were excellent. Xiaodu turned off the lights and curtains, and the room also had an automatic toilet, a humidifier, and a small refrigerator (with free drinks). Breakfast was buffet-style with a wide variety, and the beef, bowl tray, and kuoluoluo were delicious. The location is just over 100 meters from Ming and Qing Street, making it very convenient for commuting. I'd definitely stay there again!
RRiyamA Step Back in Time: A Flawless Stay at a Historic Pingyao Retreat
Our stay at this exceptional traditional hotel in Pingyao was nothing short of magical. Originally an academy, the property has been beautifully restored and transformed into a serene boutique hotel that immerses you in Chinese history and culture without compromising comfort.
Location
Perfectly situated in a quiet area away from the crowds of the main tourist sites, the hotel offered a peaceful sanctuary after long days of exploring. The silence and calm added to the authenticity of the experience, as if we had truly stepped into another era.
Design & Atmosphere
The preservation of the original architecture and layout of the academy was breathtaking. Every detail of the hotel—from the wooden beams to the stone pathways—exuded historical charm. The sense of place was so strong that it felt like we were emperors transported back in time.
Room
We stayed in the Shuyuan Canopy Bed Suite, which was immaculate and exquisitely designed. The amenities were thoughtfully curated, blending modern convenience with traditional elegance. The canopy bed was a highlight, evoking a luxurious, regal atmosphere. We were particularly touched by the high-quality tea sets provided, which allowed us to enjoy our own private tea time in the comfort of the room.
Service
From the moment we arrived, the staff were exceptional—always smiling, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. Free transportation from the train station was a seamless and much-appreciated touch that set the tone for the rest of our stay.
Facilities
Every facility was carefully maintained and contributed to the overall harmony of the space. The hotel’s attention to detail extended to every corner, making for a deeply enriching and relaxing experience.
Breakfast
The only area with room for improvement was the breakfast. Served in a traditional 9-bowl box, it lacked variety and felt more like a school meal than a luxury experience. We would have loved more choices and the ability to select our dishes instead of receiving a pre-chosen set. With an upgraded breakfast service, this hotel would truly be flawless.
Final Thoughts
This stay was one of the most unique and memorable travel experiences we've ever had. A perfect blend of heritage, hospitality, and comfort. We would return in a heartbeat—and next time, hopefully with a breakfast experience to match the rest of the hotel’s excellence.
GGuest UserWhat a pleasure to stay here! The location in the Old City is beautiful and interesting, with a benefit of being easy to find. The owners have a wonderful service attitude, and tried to help me with all my little issues. My room was cozy and quiet, sloping roof meet the eaves with a courtyard view. The owners offer railway station pick up, but if you end up taking a taxi, direct the driver to the north gate.
GGuest UserThe location is superb, right within the ancient city. For those driving, parking is available at the Nine Dragon Wall parking lot, just a 100-meter walk away. Despite being in a tourist area, it offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. Guandi Temple is also conveniently located nearby. The service was excellent, and breakfast was quite good too. Both the owner and the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. Although the May Day holiday prices were significantly higher than usual, the convenience made it completely worthwhile. Highly recommended!

Perfect
AAReally nice place, but as for most hotels, you cannot expect the staff to speak English (not a problem for me, but if you don't speak any Chinese be prepared). Location is great as it is around 2 minutes walk from 南大街/South Street and all the main museums and courtyards. The owners were very friendly and helpful, making time to explain all the places to see and were to eat. They can even help with good discounts, e.g. for the historical-themed performance '又见平遥'/Encore Pingyao as well as for restaurants.
The hotel is in a beautiful traditional courtyard, very quiet area so you will sleep well at night. The room has traditional furniture, adding to the atmosphere, and while small (but good value for the price) was comfortable. The bed is a so-called 'kang' with heating - it was so comfortable in the cold winter that it was hard to get out of bed in the morning! Part of the floor has heating too. The cleanliness is good too. I would really recommend this place, very good atmosphere and with everything you need to be comfortable.
MMIHAELATraditional inn style hotel, just as you enter the old city. I stayed in a typical stone bed with futon mattress, initially I was stressed I cannot sleep.well but it was perfect. Another plus is the heated japanese style toilet and the breakfast across the street at two local ladies. Cannot get more authentic than this. They offer free driving to the railway station (high speed in my case), which it came as a pleasant surprise as I was not aware of. Highly recommend for simple, authentic local experience 🙂
SShikewangxingheThis time I came to Datong and chose this homestay correctly. The hotel is in a good location and very quiet. The ancient city is close to Kuixing Building, the north gate. It is very close to the Daiwang Mansion and the Kowloon Wall, and it is within walking distance. You can walk to Chunyang Palace and Huayan Temple in a few more steps.
The hotel is very new, the sanitation is very clean, the decoration is very style, and there are details everywhere. The boss service is very in place and impeccable. From the facilities, drinks are provided, fresh fruit every day, disposable bath towels, toilet pads, parent-child slippers, all available, actually still a disposable kettle! Cleanliness star love! The service attitude is very good, very comprehensive, every day in advance to ask about breakfast time, their breakfast I want to recommend, very delicious, especially the meat noodles, I don't think it is lost to Jindao! One day I needed to eat early. The staff came over to prepare at six o'clock. I had a good time here happily and comfortably. I will have the opportunity to come to Datong again in the future and will come to live!

Outstanding
WWara LupeThe room was as described, the interior of the looked relatively new. I arrived early and they let me do an early check in. Even though they don't speak English, communication was not a problem because the owners are kind and helpful. I loved the ancient city, people is easy going and there is a lot of trust among people, as a solo traveler woman felt very safe and comfortable. Also this place has a good location near many attractions, I like walking so I did everything by foot. Definitely recommend staying at this place.
CCrystalismThis hotel is in a prime location on Main Street, right next to the famous Cheng Huang Miao temple. It offers both convenience and a sense of seclusion. Despite my room being near the main entrance, I experienced no noise or disturbances.
The hotel arranged a seamless transfer from East Gate, where vehicles are permitted, to the temple, followed by a short 50-meter walk to the hotel. This service, included in the hotel package, made the arrival process effortless. Communication via WeChat and assistance from my tour guide ensured a smooth transfer both in and out. They also provided luggage assistance, which was one of the reasons I chose this hotel.
The owner… or at least, I assume he is was incredibly friendly, informative, and helpful. He provided useful tour information and even gifted a bottle of vinegar upon departure.
Only one exception that language might be a barrier if you totally can’t speak Chinese - but fret not there’s always translator tools.
The room was very comfortable and appeared newly renovated, with excellent pillows and a cozy comforter. Both the room and bathroom were clean. Amenities included disposable towels, essential toiletries, and a powerful hairdryer.
We didn’t have any food here as our room didn’t come with it but that’s fine, there are plenty of options in Pingyao which you should go out to try.
As a frequent guest of Marriott chains (which means I have certain level of expectations), I had to explore local options since there isn’t one in Pingyao. This hotel met my expectations, and I highly recommend it to both local and international travellers. For the reasonable price and excellent location, I have no complaints, except that I wish I had stayed two nights instead of one!
AAnonymous UserWe ended our five-day trip to Shanxi and were very satisfied with Shanxi, especially this B&B in Pingyao Ancient City. After booking the room, we contacted the inn and reserved a parking space for us. We got off the expressway and arrived at the parking lot smoothly, and someone came over. They were very considerate in picking up my luggage. The location of the inn is very good, just at the intersection of the pedestrian street. It is not noisy at night and is very convenient for traveling. This is the most recommended one. The inn is a typical Shanxi courtyard house, just like living in a TV series. The courtyard is very comfortable, the rooms are clean and hygienic, and the service is excellent. I recommend everyone to stay here.
