"This homestay is beyond my expectations, and the facilities in the homestay are satisfactory. The kitchen is fully equipped and you can easily cook your own food. The sanitation facilities are clean and tidy, and the bedding is soft and comfortable, providing us with a good sleep experience. The environment is also very clean, every corner is organized, people feel happy. Very friendly and safe for children, you can play freely in the small courtyard, you can choose here with parents and children, two or three groups of families with parents and children, or a business car person to travel, which can meet different needs. I went to see Pingyao's performance again. It was very shocking. I visited the ancient city and lived in such a good inn. I want to say that Pingyao's value [strong] will choose here next time I have the opportunity to come."
"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!"
"Temporarily decided to come to Pingyao to play, the hotel is newly opened, the facilities and equipment inside are very new, the classical courtyard and modern decoration make people live very comfortable. The location of the hotel is very good, it takes a minute to go to South Street, and it is very close to the essence attractions. It is very convenient to play. The hotel staff was also very enthusiastic. They picked us up from the high-speed rail station and checked in directly. They also told us the map and how to visit the ancient city and some precautions. They were very intimate and thoughtful. Very pleasant trip, if you have the opportunity to come again, I want to experience other room types."
"200 meters inside the ancient city wall. Because cars are not allowed in the ancient city, this location is already perfect. There is a large Beiguan parking lot nearby, which is convenient for entry and exit. The entrance to the city wall is also very close. Overall, it is quite convenient. The room is clean and hygienic. The proprietress is warm and hospitable. She also gave me a souvenir when I left. It’s just that the time for this trip was a bit tight. I didn’t finish visiting the ancient city. I’ll leave it as a memory."

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!

AAReally nice place, but as for most hotels, you cannot expect the staff to speak English (not a problem for me, but if you don't speak any Chinese be prepared). Location is great as it is around 2 minutes walk from 南大街/South Street and all the main museums and courtyards. The owners were very friendly and helpful, making time to explain all the places to see and were to eat. They can even help with good discounts, e.g. for the historical-themed performance '又见平遥'/Encore Pingyao as well as for restaurants.
The hotel is in a beautiful traditional courtyard, very quiet area so you will sleep well at night. The room has traditional furniture, adding to the atmosphere, and while small (but good value for the price) was comfortable. The bed is a so-called 'kang' with heating - it was so comfortable in the cold winter that it was hard to get out of bed in the morning! Part of the floor has heating too. The cleanliness is good too. I would really recommend this place, very good atmosphere and with everything you need to be comfortable.

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.

KK Hoffman (Canada)Fantastic ancient Chinese lodging with modern amenities. You get the chance to sleep on a Luohan bed. The room is a suite!
Within Pingyao walled city, it was easy to go to visit the sites. The lady owner gave me a map. Even though I speak no Chinese and they speak no English, we were able to communicate using a translator app. She recommended a restaurant when I asked.
They made the utmost effort to make your stay enjoyable. The owner took me to the railway station when I left.
P.S. Best to download MAPS.ME as it will work offline. Google Maps does not work in China. The taxi will drop you outside the city wall and you can ride the shuttle to the hotel. Make sure you got the Chinese address. Also same possible, install the Wechat app as it is used widely in China - you text in English they translate to Chinese and vice versa.

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…

GGuest UserI checked various rankings and chose Delian. I still like newer hotels, and I was not disappointed.
Pick-up station: The B&B can pick you up at the station, so you don’t need to look for it with your luggage. It feels really good. We booked a two-night stay and were offered a drop-off at the station. When the guy saw it was snowing, he kindly helped us carry our suitcases to the entrance of the high-speed railway station, so we didn't have to climb the stairs ourselves. Very heartwarming!
Room: The hotel has floor heating. The staff preheated the room in advance, and it felt warm as soon as you entered the room. There is air conditioning and an electric heater in the house, so it doesn't feel cold even when it snows. The yard and the room are very clean, which is the feeling I like. Although the room was not cheap, it was worth it.
Service: All questions were answered. The waiter and a short-haired lady were both very nice. The recommended restaurant is also very cost-effective.
I'm glad I chose Delian.

LLucaBombieriWe arrived in the evening and it was raining a lot therefore we appreciated so much their free pick up from the train station to the hotel! The structure is simply beautiful and the owners are really kind. They gifted us of a local vinegar bottle, the rooms are simple but clean and the breakfast as well is nice. The position is strategic in the city centre of the old Pingyao. They allowed us to store our luggages on the day of the departure. We definitely recommend to stay here :)

AAnonymous UserThe hotel is very distinctive. It is a large courtyard with seven entrances and seven exits. It is relatively large in the ancient city. The location is also very good. It is very convenient to eat and drink coffee. The hotel has a variety of room types to suit the needs of different guests. It is great for taking photos. You can also eat and drink tea in the courtyard. The experience is very good.

GGuest UserThe B&B is located in the center of the ancient city and is convenient for travel. The boss has carefully decorated the courtyard. When you wake up in the morning, the entire courtyard is filled with sunshine, making it warm and comfortable! The Ming and Qing Dynasty Dazhuang house we stayed in had two interior and exterior rooms. The retro home design made us feel like we were transported back in time.
