Pingyao Yide Hotel, a beautifully preserved traditional courtyard that truly transports you back to the late Qing dynasty. The location is ideal—nestled in a quiet alley yet just a five-minute walk from the bustling downtown area, offering both convenience and tranquility. The rooms were traditionally designed with handcrafted wood furnishings and artwork, maintaining the historical essence while providing modern comforts. Cleanliness was impeccable, ensuring a comfortable stay. What truly made my experience outstanding was the staff—the best among the best. They were incredibly kind, going out of their way to make me feel at home, creating an unforgettable, welcoming experience. Breakfast was also a delightful touch! Overall, Pingyao Yide Hotel is a perfect blend of history, comfort, and genuine hospitality. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Pingyao!

Since the rooms were converted from an old courtyard building, the bathroom space is quite compact and does not have a separate dry area, which might not be ideal for some guests. However, given the historic nature of the hotel, this is simply part of its authentic charm rather than a drawback.

An unforgettable lodging experience! This hostel mesmerized us with its well-preserved historical courtyard, making us feel as if we were living in a museum, steeped in charm and history. We had the pleasure of staying in both the room in the main courtyard and the Yaodong room. Each room was spacious, featuring super large, comfortable beds that ensured a restful night's sleep. The cleanliness and service at the hostel were impeccable. Every area was maintained spotlessly. The staff were warm and always eager to assist, making us feel truly welcomed. I highly recommend this hostel, particularly in the winter. Its perfect blend of historical elegance, modern comfort, and the added beauty of snow make it an unparalleled choice. Looking forward to my next visit!

Yide Hotel was incredibly beautiful and serene! The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. I emailed across my arrival train and they arranged (for a very small sum!) for me to be picked up- the same on the way back to Pingyaogucheng, which was immensely helpful. On the day I arrived I happened to get an upgrade on my room- can't be guaranteed, but was great. The breakfast was delicious- I had a lovely tea, scrambled eggs and toast. There were many more options and it was unlimited in how much you had! They gave me a useful map and talked me through the top sites to see. Overall a brilliant stay.

Nothing I didn't like!

The staff were really friendly and helpful. Explained the area, what places to visit, how to get tickets and picked me up and dropped me off at the station. A beautiful boutique hotel and I had a great simple room. They had gone out of their way to provide just about everything you need The location is ideal, a very short walk to the old town. Very handy for restaurants and bars.

A little more lighting on the stairs to my room

This place was perfect. It’s location in central to all the sites. Though it is the staff that makes this place amazing! They were so welcoming and accommodating.

We were glad to have chosen this Hotel for our stay in Pingyao. Everything was nice, the rooms are very special, designed into the old Temple. Breakfast even for western people very good. In general, the Restaurant is very good and perhaps the best in Pingyao. Quality of the food is excellent.

TV was not working, but this is ok, if you stay for 4 or 5 nights

It is a beautiful cosy place, it is exactly what I was looking for. They really pay attention to small details and the service is amazing. All the staff was always there for us.

Nothing, everything was perfect.

this really is a special place. An old house each room is different with a raised lang for a bed which was very comfortable. The staff were so kind and helpful.

I liked everything!

Beautiful house and calming atmosphere, very nice staff, very good food in the hotel’s restaurant. As the hotel is located inside the city wall, all the important sights are nearby.

The authenticity of the building and furniture, the friendliness of staff, and of course the location.

I can't think of anything I didn't like.
