Pingyao inns

Pros: Great location, friendly staff that speaks english and help you with everything. Beautiful old house with a bar/restaurant, good value for the price.

Pros: Staff helpful, food is good and cheaper than restaurants in town, the portions were quite big and i could not finish when I ordered 2 dishes, so if you are on your own and not a big eater just order 1 item. WiFi reception is good in rooms. Kang bed was more comfotable than last 2 hostels I stayed in. Rooms nice and clean, free towels ok and free toothbrush on shelf if you need one. Ideal location for visiting rest of town but a lot of walking.

Cons: Shower head was loose but apart from that cannot find fault

Pros: Location was good. Beautiful courtyard. Breakfast was ok. Owner very pleasant. Beautiful town.

Cons: Towels don't absorb when drying. Pillow was full of something that sounded like straw! No good for allergy sufferers, like myself. Slept without pillow!

Pros: Good staff, english speaker The localisation is nice Rooms are confortable and clean Good cooffee

Cons: A bit expansible

Pros: We are a couple who stayed here for 3 nights, from 30 October-2 November. The guesthouse is in an historic house centred around a courtyard. The courtyard has character, and the carved furniture in the bedroom is nice. The hot water system works well. The manager speaks English, and she was very helpful in ringing the hotel at our next destination and in arranging local transport for us to temples and to the high speed rail station. The traditional bed was comfortable, with distinctive wheat pillows (last week one couple bought four of them). The meals we had at dinner were nice, and reasonably priced.

Cons: We were disappointed in our stay. We ordered a suite (not a standard room) but our room was small and cramped for anyone with a suitcase (couples have one each). The bathroom was tiny, with a toilet, shower and wash basin all squeezed into an area of 2-3sqm. The shower has no curtain, so nearly all the floor gets wet whenever you shower. The ceiling fan Is not very effective, with the whole room left in steam after showering (e.g. my hairspray can became moist all over). There is no safe in the room, nor in reception. The breakfast is basic and is an added charge. This accommodation cost us more than the 4 star Garden Hotel in Datong, which is far better

Pros: Amazing staff... front desk girl help us a lot. Very nice real China atmosphere.

Cons: No cold beer.

Pros: The place is amazing! The court inside are fantastic. The rooms are big and clean.

Cons: Nathing

Pros: The location is great and the owners are friendly. They speak great English and were willing to do whatever it took make our stay pleasant.

Pros: Everything was lovely and fantastic. The property is charming and very well maintained, with beautiful Pingyao style ancient decoration. Two semi-independent rooms with all facilities. Staff very helpful, perfect English speakers, and with nice gestures when you check-out. You can leave your luggage, and order food/drinks in the bar. Perfect location.

Cons: The bathroom is a wet room, typical in China, but as it is small, everything gets wet and needs to be cleaned by you after each shower. The towels are made of a material that does not absorb water well.
