"The room is clean, but the facilities are a little old. But most of the inns in the ancient city are like this. The price is moderate, the service is very good, the boss is very enthusiastic, and he can pick you up if your luggage is inconvenient. It is next to the main street, quiet in the hustle and bustle, and is about a few hundred meters away from Richangsheng, the escort agency, and the county government."
"The hotel is housed in a beautifully preserved historic building. The room I stayed in was comfortable, clean, and pleasant. The inner courtyard, with seating areas and where breakfast is served, is charming and gives the impression of stepping back in time. The location is excellent as well, just a 5-minute walk from the most touristic part of the old town. Breakfast is Chinese style and, personally, I found it a bit weak, but that doesn’t take away from the charm of the hotel."
"We had a wonderful stay. The courtyard is 200 years old and very authentic and traditional, but the amenities are very modern, and the bathroom was clean and new.
The atmosphere is great. The hotel is located in the ancient city. It's not far from the main streets and attractions, but in a calmer area away from the noise. The courtyard is great for relaxing or taking some photos.
The staff is super helpful and attentive. They helped us with everything from exposing the old city to ordering transport for us and our oversized luggage, and even helped us to take some photos. A special thanks to Fanny and Helen for making our trip even more wonderful!"
"Lovely place, very charming as it's an old typical Chinese house. The owner is super nice and very helpful. They serve a traditional Chinese breakfast, beautifully arranged.
The room is a bit small, a chair or a bench would be useful but the bed is comfortable.
A very nice stay.
Ps it's not easy to find as it's in a back alley, just asl someone for direction.."
"The hotel is in a very good location, with complete facilities, clean and sanitary, and various supplies prepared. Among the homestays in ancient cities across the country that I have stayed in, it is quite good. The inn is in the center of the ancient city, quiet in the hustle and bustle, and the bustling main road is just outside. It takes only a few minutes to walk to the main attractions, 2.3 minutes to the county government, and 7.8 minutes to Rishengchang and the escort agency. The hotel is inside, which is very quiet. The small courtyard is very beautiful, and I didn’t want to leave. The service is also very good, and they are responsive to our requests. They picked us up for free and sent us to the high-speed rail station. Other places charge 20 yuan. It was a very satisfying trip! ! !"
"We traveled as a family of five to Pingyao and stayed three nights at the Jinxuan hotel. The stay was an absolute delight, the hosts are extremely friendly and helpful with everything. They picked us up from the train station which made it very easy to find a place.
Jinxuan it’s located in the very heart of Pingyao and everything is easy to reach on foot. The facilities are simple and clean, the rooms are located in a very quiet patio of one of the traditional houses in in Pingyao. We stayed in a duplex room that offered lots of space for a family. The breakfast is traditional Chinese and the hosts spoiled us on the last day with some homegrown corn and tomatoes. If you’re looking for an authentic experience, we can absolutely recommend this place. "
"I’ve been traveling in different countries and staying in different hotels across Europe and Asia for the past ~15 years. The Drama house hotel is among the few that made me want to sit down either at the lobby, or at the inner court, just to enjoy the atmosphere. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, assisting also with the pickup and drop off from the Pingyaogucheng station (not to be confused with the nearby station). Location is also superb. Definitely recommend the hotel as well as Pyngao."
"The environment is super good! ! It is within the ancient city, but not in the most prosperous commercial area, so it is very, very quiet! It's only a few minutes' walk to the commercial district, very convenient. The boss will pick up your luggage at the city wall, and breakfast will be delivered to your room at the agreed time. Most importantly, the yard is gorgeous. It’s a pity that we can’t hire a photographer to take pictures, so let’s just keep them in our memories!"
"Great accommodation experience, the location is very good, it's only a few minutes' walk from Xiaximen to the inn, and it's also close to the main street. The children love the bunk beds, the room is well heated, with floor heating and central air conditioning. The inn also provides free breakfast. The breakfast includes scrambled eggs with vinegar, which is very delicious, and goji berry millet porridge is very nutritious. The owner's family also offers free wearing of ancient costumes at designated locations (you only need to pay for makeup), and there are also souvenirs, which is very heartwarming. The housekeeper is also very enthusiastic, introducing tourist routes and providing 🈶️ free maps, which is really thoughtful. The housekeeper is also responsible for picking up and dropping off at the city gate. I would recommend it to friends"
"Really love the hotel’s a**osphere. It is cool both scenery and weather. There aren’t much noice and people around the hotel, a little walk and you will reach some of the tourist’s attraction. Some employees can speak english or if not, wechat is the best help. They also booked taxi and drop us off by the taxi, the service was wonderful. Will stay here again if there’s a chance of visiting."

GGuest UserThis is truly a hidden gem in Pingyao Ancient Town. The facilities and service are comparable to, or even better than, a major hotel! Be sure to book in advance if you're planning on a holiday! The owner added contact information and sent us information about the location, parking, and even provided pick-up and drop-off services. So thoughtful! During check-in, he patiently explained the key attractions in the ancient city and recommended great restaurants! If you're looking to take photos of the ”young wives” of Shanxi merchants, this is a must-do! The free outdoor locations are fantastic! The amenities provided in the room are all disposable and clean! The toilet water heater is also a reputable brand, so there's no need to worry about safety issues! Highly recommended to anyone staying in Pingyao!

GGuest UserThis is a cosy hotel converted from a scholar’s academy. It really feels like you’ve gone back in time or stepped onto a Chinese drama set. The staff are wonderful, very friendly, helpful and kind, explaining how to navigate their little town and helping us book tickets to a show. When my payment app couldn’t work upon check in, they let us pay later in the day with a credit card. The breakfast is tasty and fills the tummy, and you can ask for refills. I had the best sleep here, as it’s set on a quiet street, a little off the main drag and the rooms were clean and spacious, with comfortable beds, everything worked and there was attention to details like a snack basket and bottled water in the fridge. And the car was there to pick us up from Pingyao Gu Cheng station and also to send us back to the station. It was a lovely stay.

NNihaNicOntheGoThis hotel is not to miss, it is very beautiful with traditional style. We stayed in a beautiful room with the traditional Kang Bed (which was much more
Comfortable than we thought actually), it was totally quiet at night and thanks to blackout curtain we didn’t wake up too early. The owner offered us a bottle of vinegar and he also wanted to take us to the train station for free. Actually we booked another hotel with a “normal” bed for the other days in Pingyao but we regretted a lot. We paid much more to struggle sleeping because of nonsense modernities of the other hotel with intelligent amenities making noise and light in the room. So, it is much better to keep your budget and stay in this perfect hotel. The only “downside” is the toilet without wet/dry separation but honestly at the price you pay to stay in a great place like this, it’s totally ok.

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…

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.

DDizzerIf you want a more authentic experience than staying in a fancy hotel, this is your place. Mrs Liu (sp?) was so lovely and helpful. She speaks a bit of English and is very fast on the translation apps for what she doesn’t know. She gave us a map of the Ancient City and explained where we should visit. Every day she gave us water bottles. We stayed 2 nights.
You can experience a kang bed here, in a cozy room in a quaint courtyard. It was quite firm but still comfortable. There is air con which was needed when we were there. The bathroom is small but we found that everything didn’t get wet, despite the small size of the room.
The inn is on the “taxi-bus” route just off South Street. As it is a block from the Main Street it is significantly quieter as the honking of “taxi-buses” doesn’t happen as much in the alleyways. Just be careful to walk on the sides of the road as the mopeds and taxi-buses are electric so quiet, except for the honking which is loud and constant, and they drive quite fast for the size and busyness of the streets.
There is plenty of food places just a short walk away from the hotel. The ancient city was a lot more touristy than we had expected.
You need to prearrange with the innkeeper to organise a “taxi-bus” to pick you up from the South Gate. Regular cars are not allowed inside the city wall. We were dropped by the DiDi but it is too far and busy to walk with luggage to the inn. Mrs Liu and her husband helped us out with their mopeds.
Not many “taxi-bus” drivers know the inn as it is a smaller private hotel, so make sure you have the address printed out to show them. The taxi-bus is 10RMB pp per ride and you can flag them down anywhere on the streets they are allowed on, but they may not want to go where you want to go, so just flag another one until you get one that agrees. You scan the drivers QR code to pay.
Overall we enjoyed our stay at Pingyao Yunshu Inn.

GGuest UserReally 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.

AAnonymous UserWe ended our five-day trip to Shanxi and were very satisfied with Shanxi, especially this B&B in Pingyao Ancient City. After booking the room, we contacted the inn and reserved a parking space for us. We got off the expressway and arrived at the parking lot smoothly, and someone came over. They were very considerate in picking up my luggage. The location of the inn is very good, just at the intersection of the pedestrian street. It is not noisy at night and is very convenient for traveling. This is the most recommended one. The inn is a typical Shanxi courtyard house, just like living in a TV series. The courtyard is very comfortable, the rooms are clean and hygienic, and the service is excellent. I recommend everyone to stay here.
