Cari Hotel 3-Star di Pingyao

I had a truly wonderful stay at this charming courtyard hotel in Pingyao, a perfect 10/10 experience. Although it’s a small property with only about 6–8 rooms, everything about it feels thoughtfully done and beautifully presented. The hotel is newly renovated, with tasteful decorations that blend traditional character with a fresh, comfortable atmosphere. What impressed me the most was the owner. He is incredibly friendly, warm, and genuinely helpful, his service goes far beyond expectations. From the moment I arrived, I felt well taken care of, and his sincerity really made the stay special. Location is superb! The room was spotless,  one of the cleanest I’ve experienced. I actually walked around and looked at a few other motels in Pingyao, and I can confidently say this one stands out as the best in terms of cleanliness, comfort, and overall quality. On top of all that, the price is very reasonable for what you get. It’s rare to find a place that offers such great value together with such heartfelt hospitality. Highly, highly recommended ,  I would definitely stay here again.

To begin with, the hotel owner came out to greet us at the city gate and showed us the way to the hotel. She also offered to drive us to the train station when we were leaving at the end of the stay, which was very nice. All in all, Xuanxuan, the owner, was absolutely wonderful and has made her ancestral home a beautiful hotel. The rooms were spotlessly clean, with bedsheets, duvets and pillows being very comfortable. The bed mattress is a little harder than in other hotels, but I prefer this and for my back pain it was better. The bathroom feels luxurious and is also very clean! The room is spacious and has a little seating area as well which is nice. The hotel and the rooms have a security keypad, making it easy to get in an out, and it feels very safe. The room comes with all sorts of small things, like dental packs, a loofah, slippers etc. The hotel is 50m from the main street, which is fantastic because you're close to everything, yet still tucked away for peace and quiet when you need it. I cannot recommend the hotel enough. It is beautiful, lovely host and great location. 10/10

I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights in October, with my friends who booked separate rooms. We had a free transfer from and to the train station which was very handy. The room was clean and very modern looking, with a smart kettle platform (you need to tap twice on the kettle icon to activate it and boil water - it wasn't written anywhere). The receptionist gave us tips about shopping and also shared his own tea with us, so lovely! The only thing I would like to improve is a Wifi coverage, somehow inside the room it was always saying 'no data connection' despite showing the strongest signal. And the other Wifi they set up for me worked only outside of the room, so I would need to open the door each time I wanted a signal. But I had mobile internet as well so I survived. Just a warning: I think it's unprofessional to play video games without headphones when customers approach you, but maybe the staff's paycheque is low and the manners are not deeply rooted. It just looked unusual to me, because in my country you can lose your job if you behave this way.

It was just an absolutely amazing experience from the very beginning and until the very end of our stay, not even just in the hotel, but in the city of Pingyao itself in general. Me and my friend are traveling very light and without guides, and in Pingyao we had only one day: from evening to evening of the next day. Huge huge thanks to everyone who made this day unforgettable and ultimately comfortable for tired us: Alice, Helen, Fenny, Hana, and all others who was there for us. The hotel service is simply excellent: as soon as they learned about our late arrival, they immediately offered to meet us at the railway station, which was absolutely the sweetest thing. They brought us to the city gate, met us there, and walked us to the hotel. There they gave us a map, on which they explained in great detail where everything is, what is worth paying attention to, how it is better to build the route, and what opening hours different sights have. They also helped us organize a private transfer to Shaolin Temple the next morning. It was just perfect: we got there in 15 minutes instead of one and a half hours by foot, and after our walk in the temple they met us and brought us back. Also on the evening of arrival they helped us immediately buy the ticket for visiting all attractions of the city, valid for three days. And also they advised us where to eat, and gave us a hotel discount in both places. We did not regret it even once, the food was amazingly delicious in both places! The hotel itself is just wonderful: it really looks exactly like in the photos. You want to photograph every corner and record how the sparrows are chirping on the roof, and how two wonderful cats are meowing. The room also matches and even exceeds expectations. A huge kang bed, very comfortable. Excellent shower with everything needed. Breakfast is included in the stay: the traditional Chinese one was very tasty! Unfortunately, we did not manage to eat the egg, it was freshly boiled and still hot, but we were hurrying to Shaolin Temple by opening time. Also the hotel has a laundry service, and special thanks for that too! Washing and drying were very fast, and we got our nicely smelling clothes back already after four hours, which was critical for us, because we were leaving the same day. We felt like we really were honored guests, and we really appreciated it, even if only for one day.

My husband and I, in our 70s had a wonderful 2-nights stay 19-21 April 2026 at Pingyao Taotang Yaju - Yinqichi Hotel. The property offers modern comfort in a traditional courtyard inn! It's within walking distance to major attractions. The comfortable room gave me the experience of a lady living in ancient times! 🥰 The hosts were warm and respectful. Mr Guo picked us up from the Pingyao Ancient City Railway Station and as our return train was booked to depart at 5pm, he sent us to the Ancient Shuanglin Temple, advising us to order a Didi car to the Railway Station after our visit. Appreciated his suggestion. The lady host, Ms Li is knowledgeable and an excellent cook She provided us a walking map of the Ancient City and highlighted the Must-See attractions.. Breakfast was comforting in the cold mornings. We had a delicious dinner at their restaurant, just a few steps from Cheng Huang Temple. Hotel guests get a discount!

A highlight of our trip to China. This is a beautifully renovated courtyard hotel in the historic town of Pingyao. The family-run hotel was very welcoming, and the staff had good English, which helped us navigate things to do in and around the town. Pingyao itself, and the surrounding area, is well worth a couple of days. We went to Encore Pingyao, which was very enjoyable even with the language barrier. Another highlight was the SoReal / Huanzhen Pingyao Science and Technology Art Museum: 焕真·平遥科技艺术馆 or SoReal焕真·平遥科技艺术馆, located within the city walls. It was an immersive, high-tech experience, with the climax being a VR ride where you are strapped into moving chairs. Flying through mountains, with dragons coming at you and beautiful princes and princesses woven into the story, was very memorable. Overall, this was a wonderful place to stay and one of the standout experiences of our trip.

The location and room itself is quite nice, BUT the hotel also has a Hanfu rental. Meaning there are people all day taking pictures and unfortunately the photographers are quite loud and talkative. Meaning it feels like you stay at a train station on a busy day. The place needs to decide if they want to be a hotel or a photo spot but both doesn’t work. Especially for the price!

An Exceptional Stay with World-Class Service ”If you are looking for a hotel that truly cares about its guests, look no further. From the moment I booked, the staff reached out to coordinate my arrival, ensuring everything was perfectly prepared. Their sense of responsibility and hospitality is truly remarkable. Highlights of my stay: Exceptional Transportation: On my departure, the hotel arranged a luxury car to drop me off right at the train station. It was a seamless and premium experience. Comfortable & Cozy Rooms: The attention to detail is evident—the heated floors made the room incredibly cozy, and the overall atmosphere was perfect for relaxation. Stunning Design: The second floor features exquisite lanterns (chandeliers) that are breathtaking and perfectly complement the hotel’s name. Delicious Breakfast: The morning meal was delightful, with a great variety of flavors to start the day right. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking top-tier service and a beautiful, warm atmosphere. I will definitely be returning!”

Muy buena relación calidad-precio. Habitación acogedora y limpia, se veía reformada de hace poco. Calefacción disponible. Repetiriamos

Amazing hotel in the middle of Ancient Pingyao. Only stayed 1 night, but managed to see the major sights within the city walls. The owner was very helpful organising a transfer back to the train station after checking out. The only issue is communication before and after departure as the owner doesn't answer queries sent directly to the hotel. We wanted to arrange a transfer before arrival, but haven't received a reply. Additionally after leaving the hotel we realised that we have left my medication in a portable fridge at reception. Tried calling the hotel several times, but they didn't pick up the phone. Otherwise we had great experience.
