3-Star Hotels in Pingyao

My stay at the Red Lantern Inn in Pingyao was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment I arrived, the owner was incredibly friendly and provided full-service hospitality. I was even greeted with a thoughtful gift of vinegar upon check-in. The hotel is unique and charming, not your typical modern hotel. The reception is located in a shop at the front, but the hotel's name is clearly displayed, making it easy to find. The directions on Trip.com were accurate, and although it’s a bit of a walk from the North Gate, it’s worth it. The atmosphere of the inn is enchanting, transporting you to old-world China. The rooms are simply designed yet very comfortable. The hotel also offers traditional costume rentals for photos, which was a fun experience. What truly stood out was the exceptional service. The owner helped us arrange a bus for sightseeing and even provided a free ride to the Pingyaogucheng Railway Station, despite it being quite far. The car was spacious and comfortable. To top it all off, I experienced my first snowfall here, making my stay even more magical. I highly recommend the Red Lantern Inn to anyone visiting Pingyao. It’s a place that offers not just a stay, but an unforgettable cultural experience!

The layout of the hotel is very charming. The carvings on the pillars are super beautiful and antique. I couldn't help taking a lot of photos here. They are very photogenic. The boss and the boss lady are very nice. Not only did they pick me up and drop me off personally, but they also recommended places to eat and have fun. They didn't disappoint me at all. Knowing that it was my first time here, the boss lady also pointed out the must-see attractions in the ancient city. It is very close to the main street, and it only takes 5 minutes to walk there leisurely. It is very convenient. Shanxi people are so honest. I like it here very much! I will come again next time!

Good experience in this boutique Hutong hotel in Pingyao . The room is big and extremely comfortable , the breakfast is in a local style , the cleaning is fine and the architecture is amazing . Really easy to get from the central train station and inside the ancient city.

This is a beautiful hotel in the juice of the old town of Pingyao, located not far from one of the gates of the old town and about 15 minutes walk from the center and the main streets. The room had a lot of charm, with the traditional bed which, to my surprise, was comfortable even with the rigidity. I could not enjoy the patio because of the mosquitoes but it is really very charming! The young woman at the reception and the Ayi (the aunt who takes care of breakfast and cleaning) are people with a heart of gold who will do everything to enhance your stay. You have the choice of Western or Chinese breakfast, personally I enjoyed the Chinese breakfast which is typical of the region. I recommend this hotel 100%!

It must be emphasized that the doors of many B&Bs in Pingyao are hidden in small streets and alleys, with no street lights at night, but this B&B is not far from the small south gate, next to the Wu Temple, and faces the main road. It feels very safe at night. The courtyard is very large and has three entrances. It is very beautiful inside and is also a travel photography base. The hotel's travel photography shop is right at the door. The shop is only a five-minute walk from the main street. There is also a noodle shop on the left side of the door, which is generally very convenient. The facilities in the room are quite complete, because there is no heating in the entire ancient city, and all are heated by home-made floor heating and air conditioning. If you come in late January, the room will indeed be a bit cold, but if the floor heating and air conditioning are turned on for more than half a day, it will be fine. much better. The boss was very enthusiastic. He added WeChat in advance and sent us the location of the parking lot. He would also come over to help us pull our luggage into the store when we arrived at the parking lot. When we left, he also helped us deliver our luggage to the parking lot during the off-season. The check-out time will not be so strict, and you can check out later. The room has two bedrooms and one living room, and there is an automatic mahjong table, which the children especially like! We felt good about the first night and stayed another night. It is highly recommended!

The courtyard is retro in style and the environment for travel photography is very good. The room is very unique, especially the carved wooden bed, which should be carefully selected by the boss. There were some problems during the stay, but the boss was very good and actively solved them. Overall recommended.

The inn is about ten meters away from the busiest street in the ancient town. Turn left and you will see the ancient street. The inn has a unique environment with the characteristic elements of the ancient town. The room is very clean and soundproof. You can have a good sleep after a day of strolling. The environment in the inn is also very good, very photogenic! The boss is very nice. After booking, add the contact information to answer various questions. The inn also has a pick-up service. In particular, the vinegar of the boss's house is very good. Friends who stay in the hotel must buy some to bring to family and friends, and the feedback from friends is also good👍!

▲This time when I came to Pingyao, I booked this homestay and asked the owner to reserve a room with sunlight. ▲The boss was very friendly. We had a lot of luggage and it was already evening when we arrived. We parked the car at the north gate of the ancient city. The boss drove out on an electric car to help us carry our luggage twice. I was stunned when I went in. I didn't expect it to be such an antique house. It is said that it used to be a landlord's home. ▲The little parrot is my pet. I brought it with me when I drove here. The boss also has two caged budgies. ▲The room is not big, but there is a big kang bed. You can see the yard through the window. However, it is small but fully equipped and very clean. You will feel very comfortable as soon as you enter. The toilet is actually automatic. ▲My daily routine here is also affected. I feel sleepy after 10 o'clock every night, and wake up at 7 o'clock in the morning when the sunlight shines in. I take a walk in the yard. I haven't felt this way for a long time. ▲There is also a rooftop in the yard. You can go up and see the roofs of the surrounding area. It is very pleasant to do some morning exercises. ▲They also sell vinegar here (I got a bottle when I checked out) and travel photography (unfortunately I don’t have time to get one). ▲This homestay is carefully selected by me. It is reasonably priced (the price will increase during festivals) and the most beautiful. If I come to Pingyao next time, I will still want to stay here!

The B&B room is great, clean and sanitary, the shower water is big and the room is suitable for rest. The location is excellent, the courtyard is beautiful, and the room settings are also antique, with the characteristics of a Shanxi courtyard. It is right inside the ancient city, and it is quiet and not noisy. After playing in the ancient city at night, you can return to the B&B and have a good sleep. The staff was warm and hospitable and provided great service. When I left, the front desk lady gave me a banknote and a pot of Shanxi specialty vinegar. I felt like family even in a foreign land!

Very beautiful guesthouse with amazing patios! Very nice owners! The lady can speak English and help book tours with a guide which helped us a lot. Breakfast available, both Chinese and continental. Very good location within the old city, close to one of the main streets. We loved our stay there and highly recommend this guesthouse!
