2-Star Hotels in Pingyao County

The owner was very thoughtful. They picked us up from the high-speed rail station, helped with our luggage, and even gave us some vinegar when we left. The service was so warm and attentive. My child was tired from walking, and the proprietress offered vinegar and a foot-soaking tub. We stayed in a private courtyard, which was absolutely fantastic!

This was our second time visiting Pingyao, and honestly, the crowds during the holiday season made the experience less enjoyable. Luckily, we picked a fantastic guesthouse this time, which really helped us unwind. It's located in Zhao Juren Alley, offering a peaceful retreat while still being very close to the main South Street. It's also near Yingxun Gate, making it super convenient to catch the ancient city's light show. All in all, the location is excellent. The guesthouse itself is quite new, and the room facilities are all smart, ensuring a good night's sleep. The owners, a family, were incredibly welcoming and even provided pick-up and drop-off services to the station, which is a huge plus considering how difficult it can be to get a taxi from Pingyao High-Speed Rail Station. As we were leaving, the owner even gave us two bottles of vinegar as a gift. The service was truly exceptional. I hope their business prospers, and if we ever get the chance to visit again, we'll definitely stay here!

The guesthouse is a historic building, a two-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house), located behind the Ma Family Courtyard. We were busy taking photos as soon as we arrived. We stayed in the ”Children's Fun” room. Although it didn't have a separate wet and dry area, we loved its sunny location; seeing the sunlight streaming in in the morning was so vibrant. The owner was a very kind young man. Because we needed to use an old-fashioned lock when leaving the house, preventing others from entering, we asked him to deliver supplies to a small room in the first courtyard, which we picked up ourselves in the evening. The guesthouse originally only offered one pick-up or drop-off service, but the owner offered both, and even helped with our luggage. Very nice! Wishing him booming business!

Very good experience. The owners are friendly and provide pick up at the gate entrance. Pretty courtyard and the owners shared a lot of information on where to eat / shop at. Would definitely recommend this guesthouse to those wanting to visit Pingyao.

We had such a lovely experience at Zhengjia Inn! It was a little hard to find initially but the location is exceptional, right in the heart of the ancient city of Pingyao. There was no one on reception when we arrived but we managed to call through the Trip.com app and they came out right away to help us check in. The hotel is gorgeous with a very traditional style, a lovely sunny courtyard and big rooms. The best part of our stay here was the hospitality of the family who run this hotel. They were so kind and generous! They annotated a map for us to show us where to go and how to get there, they made us a Western style breakfast in the morning and let us eat in their own home, and they very kindly drove us to the train station when we had to leave the next day. They were very friendly, kind and patient with us as we don't speak Mandarin. The bed was quite hard because it is a very thin mattress on top of wood so it might not suit people with bad backs, but it was fine for us! We would highly recommend this hotel!

The courtyard is very nice, which is the highlight. It is a little far from the main area. If you are tired of walking around, you can't avoid spending money to take a bus back to the hotel. The facilities in the B&B room are a bit old, the bathroom is very small, and the design of the space is a bit difficult to turn around. The bed is not covered with a quilt on the bed sheet. The quilt is folded. I didn't dare to sleep directly, so I spread the bed sheet I brought with me.

Very satisfied with this stay! The room is clean and comfortable, the layout is very warm, the facilities are complete and modern, especially the bedding is soft and sleeps very well. The surrounding transportation is convenient, and the nearby food supermarket is all available. The landlord was warm and thoughtful, responded quickly to the message, and solved the problem immediately. The price is super high.

Located right at the entrance to the old town, this hotel is a little gem. The staff is very friendly and upgraded our room. The room has everything you need. The shower was very good, with hot water and a good flow. The breakfast served at the restaurant next door was good!

The host were nice and friendly. They speak no English but they use and app for basic translations. The room is good value for money. Modern and clean, with good architectural finishes. They don't provide towels, shampoo and so. No air conditioner either, thou I asked for a fan and they gave it to me and it was perfect like that. Location wasn't so easy to find, the access road can be either dusty or muddy depending on the weather. It's about 15 minutes walk to the north gate of ancient Pingyao city wall. I would recommend specially to couples as it's the same price as for solo travellers. (I guess the price is per room) They didn't ask for a deposit as written in their policies, which is a plus. I attach a plan explaining how to best get there. Recommended.

We chose the most basic room, and honestly, the price is unbeatable. However, we found the bed to be very hard and there were no towels for the shower, only for the sink. But we assume that for the cheap price we paid, you can't ask for more. We believe that we probably wouldn't have had this problem in the superior rooms. The staff was pleasant and the hotel's location is good.
