Hotel Pingyao dengan Bar

Cheng view courtyard was amazing on all fronts. Very caring staff and they came to pick us from the Pingyao train station. We received a room upgrade, fruits and drinks when we came. The manager (Chengfujinyuan) explained everything about the city’s sightseeing and was really helpful. Breakfast was amazing and they even accommodated very complex allergy needs. The room was amazing and amenities top notch. We arrived to Pingyao after two weeks traveling in China and this was the most exquisite hotel. We really liked staying there! Thank you very much for a wonderful stay!

De service was fantastisch. Zo werden we opgehaald van en teruggebracht naar het station. De kamers waren ook fantastisch, we hadden het gevoel in oud China te zijn met prachtige versieringen. Schone luxe 2 persoons kamers. De locatie is perfect in de binnenstad aan de rand. Het ontbijt was inbegrepen en zeer uitgebreid. Dank voor de goede zorgen!

Nous avons adoré notre séjour au Yide Hotel qui est idéalement situé dans la vieille ville. L’accueil chaleureux et efficace était digne d’un 5*, les petites attentions très appréciées. Grâce à cet hôtel nous avons pu plonger dans l’histoire de la ville et avons été très dépaysés. Nous avons très bien dîner et le petit déjeuner occidental offrait un large choix d’œufs, bacon, boissons, pain, fruits etc. Les photos rèfletent bien la réalité.

This is a brand new hotel. Everything works well in the room, and the smart AI assistant is both amusing and practical in controlling room functions. The room furnishings are of good quality. The hotel is an amazing location, as it is just a short walk to the ancient city as well as the You Qian Ping Yao show, which is highly recommended. The hotel staff will book the tickets for you at a slight discount and it is not part of the hotel package, whichl makes it appear to be free. There are many eateries next to the hotel, and there is even a night food street just 100m away, but it was only open during the weekends during my stay in winter. There is also a big supermarket about 300m away, and many bakeries and bubble tea joints. There are plenty of food options.. Most importantly, the owner will fetch you to and fro from the train station. The hotel staff are also very warm and friendly, and will make you feel most welcome. The hotel owner also provided a humidifier, which really provided me much relief from the low humidity Overall, this hotel is highly recommended.

Hotel is inside the ancient city,  A historical building complex, with elaborate decoration and old style furniture in the rooms and lobby.   Most rooms are on the smaller side.    Local businesses that dress up ladies in traditional costumes and makeup seem to prefer to use the courtyard to do photo shoots.    The rail station pickup and drop off was valuable as the station is 15-20 minutes drive from the old city, overall service was good,  breakfast was better than average - the buffet had enough variety, surprisingly some premixed coffee and no hot tea - Chinese don't drink tea anymore? 

El establecimiento tiene su encanto por ser un edificio antiguo y bastante bien situado dentro de la ciudad histórica, a cambio tiene el inconveniente que ni taxis ni DiDi pueden entrar por lo que os dejan en la puerta de la muralla más cercana unos 700m. El alojamiento tiene una falta de limpieza importante y el desayuno directamente sería mejor que no lo ofrecieran, es en un local diferente a unos 100m y no solamente con pocas opciones sino que además son lamentables, después de más de dos semanas en China ha sido la primera vez que no hemos conseguido comernos algo.

We enjoyed an absolutely fabulous three-day stay at Jing's Residence. The building itself is a very nicely modernized Qing-era building. We've stayed in some similarly ages buildings in Europe and this was right up with the nicest of them. The spaces look very similar to the ones in the museums in town, albeit with bathrooms and more comfortable furnishings. The service was absolutely impeccable. Our room was constantly restocked with complementary drinks and baked goods, and the front desk staff (Crystal and Leo) was helpful with everything from restaurant recommendations to transportation to the train station to us mixing up our departure date (whoops). All staff spoke great English. Afternoon tea was a particularly nice touch: no fee, great service, and a very relaxing atmosphere. Food was light Chinese snacks, not the huge spread of a British-style high tea. Breakfast was a similar relaxing experience. We tried all the of the Chinese-style options and they were all excellent. We did not try the Western-style options. Dinner was a set menu, shown to us in the morning before making the reservation. It was a combination of Western dishes and local Pingyao/Shanxi food. If given the choice we would have preferred purely Chinese food, but it was all very good and honestly the change of peace was probably good-- getting a salad was nice after two weeks in China. The Pingyao Beef was the highlight: big cubes of high quality meat, easily my favorite of the three places we had this dish. The bar had a nice selection of Western wines, Scotch, etc, but I was disappointed to not see any local rice wine or Baiji. Air conditioning worked very well in our room, easily getting the temperature down under 20C even at midday on ＞30C days. Overall I really can't recommend this place enough: this hotel was really a highlight of our trip.

Staying in Yundingxuan has been an awesome experience. Upon steppimg into the courtyard built according to ancient Chinese architectural style, one feels immediately transported into a world of rich culture. The room is big and. neat with a huge double bed and a kang style bed opposite it. Hanging from the ceiling are beautiful Chinese lanterns that when switched on lwnds the room a warm and elegant atmosphere. Staying in Yundingxuan is definitely worth the experience.

We had a fantastic 4-night stay at XingHuaCun (杏花村) Inn in Pingyao Ancient City. The location is spot on, right next to one of the most interesting attractions there, the County Sheriff and Justice Office. The room was luxuriously spacious and comfortable, the bed was among the best we experienced, and the air-conditioning was as cold as we like it. But most of all, the service provided by the staff made our stay especially memorable. We would like to commend Xiao Li (小李) and her team at the front desk, who attended to our every need with genuine pleasure. We would especially like to compliment the restaurant staff, particularly Li AiLing (李爱玲), who waited on us like royalty. She provided great service without expecting a tip and even offered to help us with our laundry so that we could catch the evening light show at Pingyao's South Gate. Naturally, at the end of our stay, we gave her a small red packet as per tradition for her impeccable service. We truly appreciated their great attitude. Needless to say, we highly recommend XingHuaCun Hotel for making Pingyao much more memorable for us.

Excellent location with a nice intro buffet dinner for local cuisine and breakfast included. Next to an important Taoist shrine and provision shops. Also within 5-10 min walk from the “New East Gate” which is important if you want to take a taxi for sights outside the walled city. Note outside vehicles are not allowed to get into the walled city. Extremely helpful staff and the high speed rail station to hotel transfer service is much appreciated especially since outside taxi cannot get into the hotel location. We speak mandarin and found the ancient city tour guides well worth the money. Look for the guides with the standardised purple windbreakers in winter. Standardised price but worth every cent. Glad my family took the detour to Ping Yao
