Hotels in inside Pingyao old city, Pingyao

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

We traveled as a family of five to Pingyao and stayed three nights at the Jinxuan hotel. The stay was an absolute delight, the hosts are extremely friendly and helpful with everything. They picked us up from the train station which made it very easy to find a place. Jinxuan it’s located in the very heart of Pingyao and everything is easy to reach on foot. The facilities are simple and clean, the rooms are located in a very quiet patio of one of the traditional houses in in Pingyao. We stayed in a duplex room that offered lots of space for a family. The breakfast is traditional Chinese and the hosts spoiled us on the last day with some homegrown corn and tomatoes. If you’re looking for an authentic experience, we can absolutely recommend this place. 

We arrived in the evening and it was raining a lot therefore we appreciated so much their free pick up from the train station to the hotel! The structure is simply beautiful and the owners are really kind. They gifted us of a local vinegar bottle, the rooms are simple but clean and the breakfast as well is nice. The position is strategic in the city centre of the old Pingyao. They allowed us to store our luggages on the day of the departure. We definitely recommend to stay here :)

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!

The Wude Di Cultural Inn, formerly a private residence dating back over 200 years, was built during the Xianfeng and Guangxu periods of the Qing Dynasty. Its original owner, Lei Xiehe, the late Qing Dynasty manager of the Tongheqing Bank, donated his title of Wude Zuoqiwei, earning him the plaque ”Wude Di.” This courtyard is considered a scenic spot within the ancient city. The entire courtyard is arranged in a symmetrical, rectangular shape, encompassing four main courtyards, a backyard, and a kitchen yard. The courtyards are separated by gates and courtyard rooms, with the buildings rising as they go further back. At the end is a young lady's embroidery pavilion, overlooking the entire courtyard. The owner has meticulously preserved the original charm of the house. Walking through the gates, one feels as if one is witnessing stories of the past. As night falls and red lanterns hang high, the house becomes a focal point of both history and modernity. Sitting at a long table fashioned from horse stable stones, sipping a few glasses of wine, one feels a bit like stepping back in time.

During the National Day holiday, my wife and I took our daughter to the ancient city of Pingyao and stayed at the Yunjincheng Mansion. Our experience was as follows: First, the layout of the mansion is very good, with an antique look and history. It is very suitable for taking pictures. Second, the location of the residence is very good. It is on West Street in the ancient city, very close to the famous tourist attraction Rishengchang, and not too far from the Internet celebrity Hongwuji Hotel, Tianyuankui Hotel, and Liang Xiansen Yogurt. Third, the staff at the residence are very enthusiastic and responsive to requests. Just as Butler Ning said, ”Coming to us is just like going home.” We felt warm in our hearts. We also added WeChat in advance to inquire about needs and inform precautions. Because we were driving by ourselves, and considering the difficulty of parking in the ancient city due to the crowds during the National Day, we took the initiative to help find parking spaces. Fourth, the hotel has complete facilities and is clean and hygienic. Although the breakfast is not that rich, it tastes good. Next time I come to Pingyao, I will continue to choose to stay in Yunjincheng.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, very close to the West Gate. You can park conveniently just outside the West Gate, and it's only a few minutes' walk to the hotel. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly; they helped with my luggage and even presented me with a thoughtful souvenir. After checking in, guests can pick up discount vouchers for nearby restaurants, which offer direct savings when paying the bill – a fantastic perk. I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Pingyao.

As a native of Shanxi, I have to accompany friends from other places to Pingyao from time to time. Because the attractions in central Shanxi are relatively dense and not far away, there are few opportunities to stay in Pingyao Ancient City. This time, I happened to take my family to Pingyao for an impromptu family trip. Pingyao Ancient City has changed a lot in recent years. The battery cars are managed uniformly and everyone changes cars outside the city to enter the ancient city, so the overall walking atmosphere is very good. Taotang Hotel has a total of 10 rooms, each of which is very large. The overall hardware and software are very attentive, the traditional Shanxi courtyard design, and the butler-style service are comprehensively considered to be the highest-end hotel in Pingyao Ancient City. The hotel is located on the core main street. Because we brought children and large and small bags of luggage, the boss and the waiter personally picked us up throughout the journey, and the room also installed a child fence for the baby! Everything was done very carefully, and the food for the young baby was specially arranged in the kitchen without adding oil and salt! Thank you so much! Different from the professional service training and rhetoric of traditional hotels; the boss and staff are more like family members, they don’t say any polite words but take care of the guests’ needs anytime and anywhere. We Shanxi people are reserved and real in our bones! I wish the hotel business to be prosperous and all aspects will be further improved! Welcome everyone to travel to Shanxi!

Staying in this ancestral home truly felt like being at home 😃. First and foremost, the service absolutely blew me away! The host was incredibly warm and welcoming, proactively offering pick-up and drop-off services to and from the ancient town. Due to a minor room type issue, they thoughtfully upgraded our original room. And the next morning, they prepared a wonderfully lavish and delicious breakfast 👍. Next, the ambiance of this place is simply stunning. It's so picturesque, you don't even need to step outside for amazing photos! The decor of this old family residence is incredibly tasteful, elegant, and full of unique character. Our room was also spotlessly clean, ensuring a very comfortable night's sleep. Finally, a huge thank you to the host for their exceptional hospitality. We will definitely be back for another stay! I wholeheartedly recommend this place to everyone!

Lovely hotel in the old city. Really welcoming and kind boss who was quick to help recommend us the best areas to visit in the city, and where to eat. They also kindly gave us a late check-out. Location could have been more central, but we enjoyed the 10 minute walk into the main town + they have bikes you can use for free, or cheap shuttle buss for 10rmb per ride, so overall location was good. 10 out of 10!
