"During the holiday, I brought a family to Pingyao to play. I chose this hotel online in advance. The family is old and young. The unique four-bedroom private courtyard is quiet and elegant. It is definitely an ideal choice for family travel. And there is a housekeeper to provide intimate service throughout the whole process, and even the guide to go out to play saves you worry and effort. Thanks again to the store for its enthusiastic service. If you have the opportunity to come to Pingyao in the future, this place will still be our first choice. I wish the store business is booming."
"The environment here is pretty good. The boss is also very polite. The key is to be familiar with the environment. I know everything you ask. It can save a lot of trouble."

"I didn’t have an itinerary for Pingyao. I suddenly changed my itinerary after watching the video. I stayed in Pingyao Ancient City for one night and it was a worthwhile trip. I was very satisfied with the hotel. The landlady was warm and thoughtful. The boss looked like a Buddha. They were a great couple. couple. The breakfast was very good, especially the side dishes. After breakfast, I also bought beef and rice vinegar, and the landlady helped deliver it home. The room was well decorated, the bathroom was smart, and the bedding was good. I sat on the roof of the hotel and watched ancient times. People walk around and spend time on the city wall, which is the best state of travel."

"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."
"Service: The most important thing is that the proprietress is very enthusiastic and has been providing convenience for the sake of the guests and helping to solve the actual needs.
Hygienic: very clean
Environment: Especially good, the experience is very strong, located in the center of the ancient city scenic spot in Pingyao, it is very nice to take pictures and punch in
Facilities: complete and not old
It is not a trip to Pingyao Ancient City. I will recommend it to my relatives and friends! 🫰🏽👍"
"A few days ago, I went out with my boyfriend and booked this inn with a relatively high cost performance. I mainly like the ancient style of decoration. It was my first time staying in a kang and I felt very comfortable. The kang was very big and the bathroom was very clean. Overall, it was very good. From the second floor, you can see the scenery of the city wall, which looks very nice!"

"I want to give this hotel a very high rating! I will still choose this hotel next time I go to Pingyao!
After booking the hotel, the staff called to confirm how to get to the hotel. After learning that we were driving by car, they helped us reserve a parking space in advance and arranged a tour bus to pick us up (the car cannot enter the ancient city). After arriving at the hotel, they took the initiative to help us carry our luggage to the room. During the tour We were also very patient and detailed in explaining our consultation issues. The next day we learned that we were going to the Wang Family Courtyard and packed a bag of water snacks for us to take with us on the way. They also brought us snacks when we checked out. They were really considerate! They also arranged tour bus pick-up and drop-off for us when we were going back and forth to the parking lot and checking out. The service attitude of the guy who picked up and dropped off was also great.
The breakfast was ordered a day in advance and was really rich. All the staff at this hotel are very professional and truly make you feel at home.
The room is booked as a two-bedroom, and the price-performance ratio is very high during the tourist season (a room for three people is the most cost-effective). The hardware is actually quite good. There is an entrance hall as soon as you enter the door. There are one bedroom on the left and right, no small hall, and only one bathroom. It is in the master bedroom, which is suitable for a family. It is not awkward to enter and exit the two rooms at will. From a purely hardware point of view, the price is on the high side during peak season, but if two bedrooms are shared equally, plus software services, etc., it is definitely a great value!"
"The room was clean and bright, the boss was very good, and the breakfast was very rich! I personally think it is much cleaner than other homestays, it is recommended!"
"This trip stayed completely beyond expectations! As soon as I stepped into the hotel, the decoration style poked me very much, simple and full of history. The staff at the front desk were warm and thoughtful, quickly checked in, and patiently introduced the fun places around. The room is very carefully arranged, the smart device is super convenient, and the curtains and lights can be controlled by moving the mouth. The bed was moderately soft and hard, and I had a good night's sleep. The dishes in the hotel restaurant taste great and the breakfast is very good. Next time I come here, I will definitely choose this one!"
"Facilities: How should I put it? The room is not big, but it has everything that should be there. If I have to say it by level, it feels a bit like an economy hotel. But it is definitely worth the price. The main point is economical and affordable! It is quite good.
Hygiene: It is quite good, and I didn't feel uncomfortable. I booked two rooms and lived in front of the door. The bathroom I stayed in had a little smell, but the other one didn't.
Environment: It is quite good, with three courtyards, and all the characteristics that Pingyao should have
Service: The lady is very gentle, and she not only recommended delicious restaurants to us, but also gave us a coupon for 20% off. It is indeed much cheaper than the actual price.
However, the order shows that there are drinks that were not given to me, and the special gift package was not given when I checked in. It was only given to me when I asked when I checked out. It kind of ruined the atmosphere"

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!

GGuest UserWe stayed at thos lovely hotel. Lovingly restored by the current owner Mr Wang. He is the 6th generation owner of the property.
Until 10 years ago it was a derelict and dilapidated building. He poured money, time, blood, sweat and tears to restore it
And it does feel and look like a traditional house.
You feel you are going back in time.
Firstly the customer service is way beyond the call of duty. Its so good, i would recommend staying with mr Wang at whatever hotel he runs.
He picked us at the Lower East Gate, and brought us to the hotel, then took nearly half an hour to explain in great detail where we need to visit, whether the sights be in the city or outside the city.
Some of his suggestions, not on the tour books were very good . For example he suggested 3 restaurants, and we avoided them thinking he was getting a kickback.on our 4th and last day we tried restaurant no 2 of his. And it was good , the food and service were good. The prices were average with other restaurants and we got a 10% discount being the hotel's guests. And remember we had eaten 10 meals by the time we came to his suggestions.
Another suggestion of Mr Wang was Ma family home - also a very good tip from him.
Everytime we had a request or question he always responded with enthusiasm.
On our last day we checked out at 4am and he still took us to the pick up point at that ungodly hour.
Yep Mr and Mrs Wang's customer service is just first class.
The room was large, queen deluxe double, and the furnishings were traditional chinese furniture made of Rosewood. Very Expensive furniture for a hotel room. Shower worked well and was hot. However be aware its chinese style wet floor system ie there is no shower curtain between the shower and a small part of the bathroom does get wet if youare not careful. MR Wang said it will be one his improvement on his priority list. Hopefully by the time you booked the problem will have been resolved
The hotel is very close to the main streets. About 5 min walk.
The city of pingyao is worth visiting, it is one of the very walled cities left in China, with its old buildings intact and people still living it. All the city walls are also intact. Magnificent at night.

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.

SSimpleTravelerGreat place in Pingyao. It is reasonably priced, a bit out of the very center (meaning also out of tourists crowds that can be quite noisy in the evenings and mornings), but still close, has same old-style design as the more popular and well-established places that cater to foreigners, but priced twice as much. Pick-up and drop off service is provided - just contact the hotel in advance via phone using the reception of tour previous hotel - no one speaks English - it will solve your communication issue if you do not speak Chinese. At the place itself everyone is very eager to help - use your phone app to translate. Onwer helped me to buy tickets to Pingyao attractions and Terracota Army as I was heading to Xian next (available only through WeChat Pay that is in turn is not availablefor foreign tourists as of April 2023). If you go to Shuanglin temple, be sure to ask to buy tickets through WeChat for you as well. I was able to buy physical one by pure compassion of local guard who asked the staff to open ticket office just for me (Probably was the only foreigner in Pingyao at a time). Please also note that as of April 2023, the reconstruction works in the historical city parts are continuing, so, large chunks of the city within the walls are not looking as great as it could have been. The very center of the city is mostly untouched though and you can still come and explore. If going in spring, be prepared for the temperature swings. I got a temperature drop from 28C to 3C within 2 days by the moment I got to Pingyao. It was even snowing at night.

GGuest UserFirst of all: the owners get a 10/10. they are an old couple, super sweet and try to give you the best stay as possible. They cannot speak English which led to a laughing moment as they where translating Chinese into Spanish which we cannot speak.
A few things to consider: the rooms are small which is usually super okay for us. We don’t need much room and price as well as location was great. It still became a bit of an issue in our situation as it was pouring rain and the rooms is directly entered from the outside area. There is no space to leave wet shoes outside or much space to hang wet clothes. So this might not be an issue if you visit in summer. It really depends an is an subjective view.
The reason for a lower rating of cleanliness is, that the first room, they gave us, was spelling so bad that the first thought was „good that we only stay for one night“ and the second „how will we be able to get this out of our clothes“. We are backpackers…
After we when through the old town, we came back and the lady must have noticed our discomfort and asked if we would like to change the room. We did so as the second room was still smelling a bid old but totally acceptable for the ancient building. The room was much better even though there was still dust on some of the desks so we wipes it first before putting stuff on it.
Again, 10/10 for the kind and friendly hosts. On a sunny day, the experience might have been positive on all the topics but we have to be honest…

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.

AAnonymous UserThe homestay is directly in the old town with all of the attractions in walking distance. As an unexpected surprise I was picked up from the train station and offered to get brought back. In general the service has been above and beyond helping me to find my way around to the sights I wanted to see. The included breakfast was also delicious with a choice of different local dishes. The room in ancient style was clean and had all the modern amenities. The highlight was the courtyard and the view from one of the higher floors.

JJeffery.truongThe ancient city Pingyao and the Yundingxuan hotel blowed our mind. The hotel provide free pickup from the train station. We took the high speed train arrived at Pingyaocheng station which is around 15 minutes away from the ancient city. When you enter the city wall gate, you will be amazed of the narrow streets and cobblestone road. Picked Yundingxuan hotel because it was closed to the North gate so
If the taxi was to dropped us off it’ll be a short walk but the driver dropped us off near the hotel because cars are not allowed within the main streets.
The hotel is closed to 200 years old and have characteristics of the Ming and Qing dynasties. I was born in Vietnam,
With roots to China but raised up in the US since I was 7 years old. I’ve seen Chinese movies but nothing will prepare you to the hotel and the ancient city. I was surprised how big the hotel complex was. All the staff were very nice, the main host spoke English, and the breakfasts were traditional Chinese breakfast. We stayed two nights and we felt safe throughout our visit. My wife and daughter appreciated the three hotel cats and all the felines throughout the city.
I’m sure the other hotels are fantastic and will give your a unique experience but I can vouch for Yundingxuan. Just be prepared to get out your comfort zone but be amazed by the visual and taste of Pingyao Ancient City.

GGuest UserA very unique courtyard B&B inn. The rooms are clean, tidy and antique. The inn is located on the West Street of the Old City. It is right on the pedestrian street. It is very close to the Rishengchang Bank and the county government. The boss is very enthusiastic and the service is very good. I will give you a tip in advance. We sent location navigation and helped us pick up and drop off our luggage from the parking lot 🅿️. They introduced the ancient city travel suggestions in detail and arranged an ancient city guide for us to have an in-depth understanding of Pingyao’s historical and cultural heritage. It was great [strong][strong ] [Strong] When checking out, the boss also gave me a souvenir from the ancient city - aged vinegar, which is very nice and worth recommending [Strong] [Strong] [Strong]
