The staff was so kind and happy all the time, they helped me a lot and they speak English, which is pretty rare in China, even in some hotels. They gave me a map and recommended some places, also asked a taxi for me for the next day that I had my train to Beijing in the morning. The shared dorm was clean, had shampoo, air conditioner, clean sheets, futon, and pillow. Also curtains for privacy. I enjoyed my stay a lot. They even gave me a little souvenir on my way out and free water. Thank you for a very pleasant stay. Amazing price and just five minutes walking from North Gate of the old city. Supermarket right on the corner.

Featuring a garden and views of garden, Pingyao Ji Family Courtyard Inn is a guest house situated in a historic building in Pingyao, 200 metres from Qingxu Guan. Guests staying at this guest house have access to a patio. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, full-day security and luggage storage for guests. The best hotel I have ever stayed in. Amazing location, right in the center of ancient town of Pingyao but still very quiet. The room is very beautiful, clean and there is all you need for a comfortable stay. Ji is amazing. I highly recommend a short or longer stay at the Ji Family Courtyard Inn.

PingYao Chengfu Jinyuan Hotel has free bikes, outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre and garden in Pingyao. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, free shuttle service and room service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can make use of a bar. If you want the romance of a traditional courtyard with true boutique-hotel comfort, stay here. The property is brand-new, immaculate, and beautifully lit at night. Rooms are quiet and minimalist with great water pressure, reliable fast Wi-Fi, plenty of bedside outlets, and strong AC/heat. The bed and linens meet Western comfort standards. Breakfast can be chosen Chinese or Western—I tried both during my stay and each was fresh, well-presented, and generous (fresh juice and good coffee/tea included). Staff were proactive and friendly, arranged luggage pickup from the city gate, and communicated smoothly in English. The location is perfect for walking the lanes yet peaceful once inside the courtyard. Tips for Western travelers: cars can’t enter the old town, so message the hotel for pickup; wear comfortable shoes; and leave time to simply enjoy the courtyard—part heritage museum, part modern gallery. A flawless stay.

Set in Pingyao and with Pingyao Ancient City Ticket Office reachable within a few steps, Tao Hotel offers concierge services, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a terrace. The property features a snack bar, as well as a restaurant serving Chinese cuisine. The accommodation provides room service, a 24-hour front desk and organising tours for guests. I really made the right choice with this homestay in Pingyao! The location is absolutely a hidden gem—just a two-minute walk gets you to Rishengchang Bank, so there’s no need to get up early to soak in the Jin merchant culture. It’s super convenient to head back for a break after visiting the attractions. What’s more, the surrounding area is bustling with life. When you stroll out in the evening, the lanterns light up, and old shops and street food stalls are right in front of you, full of that lively, authentic vibe. No need to hunt for places to eat; just step into any spot, and it’s sure to be delicious. The biggest surprise, though, is the service here—they truly take care of every little detail. When I checked in, the owner warmly introduced local attractions, even telling me which shop has the most authentic Pingyao beef and the best time to visit Rishengchang to avoid crowds. That kind of thoughtful care makes the whole trip feel so warm. I’ll definitely stay here again when I come back to Pingyao. Great location, amazing atmosphere, and service that’s second to none—highly recommended!

The property itself is a masterpiece—a beautifully restored 15th-century traditional Chinese building that looks spectacular both inside and out.

At the same time, the rooms feature superb high-tech interior design, combining heritage and modern luxury perfectly. Breakfast was delicious every morning, with fresh, flavorful dishes that were a real highlight of our stay. The hotel’s central location made it easy to explore the area on foot. We would also like to thank our wonderful hostess. She was funny, kind, and extremely helpful, always available to assist with anything we needed. Our driver was equally fantastic—professional, safe, and very knowledgeable about the area. He made transportation and sightseeing effortless. This hotel delivers heritage, beauty, comfort, and hospitality at the highest level. We would gladly stay here again.
