Pingyao Hotels with Airport Shuttle

"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 :)"

"We had a good experience staying here. They were patient with our lack of ability to speak Chinese and we’re prepared to communicate through translation apps. The room was well accommodated and clean. Bottled water was provided and a traditional Chinese breakfast was available each morning. If you need your coffee in the morning to get started, you will need to bring your own or is it one of the coffee stands throughout town. The hotel is on one of the Backstreets next to a park and requires about a five minute walk to get to the main shopping streets, but as result is also quiet. thanks for a great day."

"This 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!"

"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."

"The mansion is located in the ancient city, within walking distance of several core attractions. Before arrival, the shopkeeper Qiao will arrange for a brother to pick you up in the ancient city, which is a thoughtful arrangement. The mansion itself is also a work of art. The three courtyards are neat and clean, the rooms are well-equipped, and the breakfast is rich in variety and reasonable in nutrition. The only regret is that the sound insulation of the old building is not very good, and the various noises of the guests upstairs in the middle of the night really affect the rest."

"A 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."

"The quaint courtyard and the rooms are also very good. This time I took my mother to play. In order to take care of the elderly, they upgraded our room and arranged it in a courtyard. The boss's family is very nice, warm and thoughtful. The breakfast is a local specialty, good, and I eat very full every day. If I have the opportunity to go again, I will choose his house because it is worth recommending. By the way, I also took a travel photo of the young lady of the Shanxi merchant in his courtyard, which is super photogenic 😁."

"A stunning historic house that has belonged to the same family for several generations. The owner personally met us at the express station, brought us to the hotel, told us the history of the house and showed us old photos. The house itself perfectly maintains a balance between being well-groomed and historically authentic. When I was leaving, the owner called me a taxi to the express station at his own expense. The hotel is located a little away from the main tourist streets, but right at the entrance to the old city and you don’t have to change to an electric minibus. The alley is completely deserted and can look a little scary at night, but the entrance to the hotel is brightly lit and can be seen from afar. Awful breakfast. Perhaps it was not the season and there were few guests, but it was portioned and consisted of very thin porridge, boiled cabbage, some other vegetables and unleavened steamed buns."

"The selection of B&Bs in Pingyao Ancient City is truly overwhelming. After repeated rounds of searching, I finally settled on Xingshengjiu. The experience exceeded my expectations, and I truly made the right choice. 📍Location: Convenient, tranquil amidst the bustle. Located in a quiet alley in the heart of the ancient city, it's a 10-minute walk from the bustling South Street. 💁♂️Service: Attentive, caring, and proactive 24-hour butler service. 1) Arrival: Immediately contacted via WeChat upon booking.

Even sightseeing shuttles were arranged for trips outside the city. 3) Every time I encountered the hotel staff, they were enthusiastic and helpful. 4) Check-out: A shuttle was booked to the parking lot, and a small set of aged vinegar was given as a souvenir. 🛏️Rooms: Brand-new facilities, modern comfort 1) A two-story, two-courtyard, two-story courtyard house, designed in the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The pink Lefen hairdryer was both stylish and powerful. 🍵Breakfast: Jin-style snacks and aged vinegar tasting Whether it's the small buffet on the first day or the nine-square set menu on the second day, you can savor local specialties. The bar also offers four flavors of aged vinegar: healthy Polygonatum odoratum vinegar and Ganoderma lucidum vinegar, as well as beauty-enhancing red date vinegar and mulberry vinegar. 💁♀️Value-added Services and Amenities 1) The Starbucks location is a unique feature, with guests receiving a complimentary Starbucks coffee and afternoon tea. 2) A laundry room is also available. Stayed for two nights and the overall experience was very good, five-star praise."

"The overall style of the hotel is Chinese with the ancient charm of Shanxi merchants. The room is decorated in the traditional style of northern folk houses, which allows people to fully integrate into the life of the ancient city. (It's a pity that I didn't take many photos of the hotel, so the reference for everyone is a bit weak 😢) In terms of facilities, as a new hotel, there is a very convenient direct drinking machine, each room has independent Wi-Fi, the TV can support screen projection, and the bathroom is equipped with a disposable toilet pad suitable for smart toilets. (I was quite surprised to have these facilities in the ancient city!) The environment is very clean. I am a person who is very picky about the environment of the hotel when traveling abroad. This time I stayed for four consecutive days and was very satisfied overall! ! The aunt will also come to clean the sanitation in time to ensure that the room is always clean and comfortable~ The hotel is located on the bustling South Street (I looked at many hotels, and later when I was wandering around the streets in the ancient city for the last few days, I found that this hotel really has the best location, which is also very lucky. I finally chose this one~), if you want to go shopping and eat very conveniently, you must choose this one! (Believe me!!) The most important thing is that the owners are a couple with very good personalities (the elder sister is very beautiful and the uncle is also lively and cheerful hahahahahahahahaha), it is really happy to meet a very good inn owner when traveling! (We can chat with each other in our spare time, and they arranged a car to Qiao's Courtyard for us in a considerate and timely manner, and also enthusiastically picked us up at Pingyao Ancient City Station)"
