Hotels with Bars in Pingyao County

This guesthouse is located just a hundred meters inside Pingyao's North Gate. While it's a little removed from the county government and other core ancient city attractions, it escapes the hustle and bustle of the streets, offering a quiet and peaceful retreat. The architectural design is very thoughtful. The soft Tiffany blue palette blends seamlessly with the traditional brick courtyard. The three jujube trees in the courtyard add a unique touch of the ancient city's rustic charm, creating a perfect blend of old and new with a wonderful atmosphere. The service from the staff was exceptionally warm. Transfers were well-arranged, and the staff were very welcoming. The young owner was innocent and playful, even offering my younger brother some biscuits. The family suite we stayed in was incredibly comfortable and well-equipped. The butler provided meticulous care, ensuring both the elderly and children had a pleasant stay. Unfortunately, our trip was rushed, and we only stayed for one night, leaving with a feeling of wanting more.

This hotel is right in the heart of the old town, and it's absolutely new and fantastic. The mattresses and toiletries are all top-brand, and even the Dyson hairdryer is the latest model. My best friend and I had such a great time here; she was super happy! It truly feels like a super five-star experience. The courtyard is also beautiful – perfect for taking pictures! The manager who greeted us was incredibly warm and attentive. I'll definitely book here again next time I visit the old town. This is a genuine review, not a paid one! 😐

Facilities: The hotel facilities are very new, convenient, and easy to use. Cleanliness: The cleanliness is good, very clean. Environment: It's very close to Pingyao Ancient City and 'See Pingyao Again', with a shopping mall nearby. It's also close to the train station, making it convenient for sightseeing. Round-trip shuttle service: The round-trip shuttle service can be booked in advance, which is very convenient.

The front desk staff were super friendly and gave us great tips for exploring the area. They also arranged airport transfers for us in advance, which was a huge convenience. Our room was well-equipped and clean, and the best part was how quiet it was – no noise at all! We absolutely loved it. They even gave us a thoughtful farewell gift when we checked out.

This hotel can’t do enough for you. They were helpful in arranging complimentary transport to and from each train station. They arranged a complimentary Pingyao show for us. They got us extra bedding and it included a Chinese breakfast. I just can’t believe the value for money. Confucius temple was just next door. They arranged an English speaking guide to take us around the city for a small charge and he arrived within the hour. He bought us all the access tickets we needed. This place is more than a hotel, it is warm friendly and can help you do anything you want.

Hotel was in a beautifully restored building, staff was nice but did not speak English. Cleanliness was ok, however I found many long hair in the room I believe housekeeping did not use vacuum cleaner. The reason why I would not stay here again is that it was impossible to relax. I could hear any noise coming from the courtyard, including photographers giving loud instructions for hours and hours to models dressed in traditional Chinese clothes. I was even asked to move out from the picture when I dared to access my room.

The location is excellent. It's right in the center of Goseong, making it a great base for exploring the city. Starting from the center, you can easily explore all directions and then back to the center, making it a great location. It's my first time at Pingyao District Office, so it's a bit tricky to judge the hotel facilities. However, the room is modern and well-appointed. The bed was clean and the mattress was adequately comfortable. The bathroom has good hot water. While the cleanliness is a bit lacking, the kindness of the owner and staff makes up for it. Boss!!! I had a great stay and had a great time.

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.

Facilities: Well-equipped Cleanliness: Always cleaned and very tidy Ambiance: Absolutely stunning for a historical visit. This is a centuries-old inn, with seven courtyards deep. Being here felt like stepping back into the glorious era when Jin merchants thrived. Service: Excellent. There are two incredibly cute kittens in the courtyard that my son absolutely adored. The owner even provided toys for playing with them. When we weren't out exploring, my son spent his time in the courtyard playing with the cats and had a wonderful time.

From check-in to check-out, my stay was incredibly pleasant. The environment is quaint and tranquil, perfectly fitting the ancient city's vibe. The room was clean and hygienic, the bedding comfortable, and there was plenty of hot water. The service was attentive and thoughtful, and the location was convenient for getting around. It offers excellent value for money and is the perfect place to stay when visiting Pingyao.
