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!

Ideally set in the Pingyao Ancient City district of Pingyao, Shanxi Merchant Mansion is situated 400 metres from Rishengchang Former Bank, 400 metres from Pingyao Ancient City Ticket Office and 500 metres from Pingyao Ancient City Auspicious Temple. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, room service and a 24-hour front desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is set 200 metres from Ji's Old Residence. Our stay at this hotel was unforgettable. The property itself is a masterpiece—a beautifully restored 15th-century traditional Chinese building that looks spectacular both inside and out. The moment you step in, you feel the history: wood carvings, antique details, and a serene courtyard atmosphere. 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.

Situated conveniently in Datong, 五福居 Five Blessings Hotel is a recently renovated homestay, which offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and free private parking. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, a lift and luggage storage for guests. Oh my goodness! This was a treat :) it is in the old city walls where there is tons of shopping, eating and sightseeing. We were also easily able to book a tour that picked us up at the hotel for the big sites light the pagoda, hanging temple and grottos. We wanted an English guide so booked through another source, but the hotel would also arrange for a taxi service if you wanted. The city wall is just across the street and you can ride bikes up there and during the evening there are shops and bright decorations. The 9 dragging screen with the glasses tiles is also a short walk. Museums, pagodas, temples, quaint streets and busy markets are all within walking distance. It is a bit away from the new city center and the south railway station (where all high speed trains come in) … BUT they arrange for free transportation to and from the hotel. It was apparent at every step of the way that those working were eager to please and wanted the stay to be perfect. They upgraded our room free of charge when they saw we had two kids and only 1 bed. The larger room was available so they have it to us to make the nights more comfortable. They also provide a free breakfast each morning and the food was outstanding. They made it to order and over fed us each day. Laundry machine and detergent is available for use. The facilities are very newly updated and clean. We wished we could have stayed for longer.

Attractively situated in the Xiao Dian district of Taiyuan, JW Marriott Hotel Taiyuan is situated 4.1 km from Shanxi Medical University, 4.2 km from Shanxi University and 4.4 km from Yingze Park. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, room service and a 24-hour front desk, along with free WiFi. Guests can use the indoor pool, or enjoy city views. We travelled in a group of 3 pax and requested for an additional bed; we were very happy to see this already arranged by the time we checked in after a long flight and given an upgrade to the executive size. Room was clean, spacious and bedding comfortable with a Nespresso machine in the room. We also enjoyed the diverse spread at breakfast - with lots of local fare and a good balance of non- local to choose from. We also appreciated the amazing speed of the staff who responded to our requests with friendliness and alacrity - the concierge desk, the bellboys and the ladies at the breakfast counters were very helpful during our stay. Highly recommended for a comfortable stay in Taiyuan
