It has a great restaurant, where we had New Year dinner. As for desert option - apples in caramel sauce is very much... More

We really enjoyed this wonderful inn that's full of courtyard style character. The staff are to be congratulated on excellent and friendly service. Our room was very clean and warm. Try the Chinese breakfast rather than Western choices, not that there was anything wrong with Western, just a good chance to try Chinese. All meals we had were excellent. Staff... More

Love love love my room with a toasty kang bed! Nicely appointed large room with a large, sparkling clean granite bathroom. The brick courtyard complex is charming and authentic. Nicest feel of old China of any place I have stayed in 3 weeks. Take the pickup service they offer. Driver is friendly and his van is sparkling clean. Bonus: it... More

During our trip through China this hostel and its restaurant was recommended to us by other travellers (a French family) and arriving in Pingyao we tried it in stead of the planned Harmony Hostel in the same street. The location of this hostel is perfect as it is in the centre of the city, in the main street. The hostel... More

We stayed for two nights at this wonderful hotel. The rooms are exceptional, with wall to wall beds and ensuite shower room. It is extremely clean. We were warmly welcomed and looked after by Jonathan, whose family have run the hotel for over 100 years. Everyone was very friendly and helped us with anything we asked, from booking train tickets... More

We stayed at the Tian Yuan Kui Hostel end of July with my family. Our stay was one of the greatest of our trip. The hotel is ideally located on the main street of the old city of Pingyao. We were in the family room with traditional beds and bathrooms. The rooms are in a traditional chinese house and are... More

This was one of our favorite places to stay on our 3 week trip to China. Wonderful room. Excellent food in dining room and courtyard. Friendly service. They arranged for an electric cart to pick us up on arrival to city wall and to take us to the train station upon departure. Pingyao was delightful. I would recommend this town... More

Unfortunately we spent just a few hours here, teavelling from beijing to xian, but we wish we had rested for a few days. This place also provides you with free transfer to the teain station and wonderful food from their homely cuisine. Yes, here you may really feel at home. Moreover they were quite helpful with the train tickets for... More
