Pingyao Jiaxin Guesthouse features rooms with traditional Chinese-style decoration. It is only a 4-minute walk from Pingyao Railway Station. Free WiFi is accessible in all areas. It is located in Ancient City of Pingyao, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

For a very low price I've got a room only for myself. They gave me not only towel for free but also shower gel, shampoo, toothpaste and even toothbrush. Owners speak English communicatively and they are very helpful.

Located in Pingyao Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lao Cheng Gen Hostel is a 10-minute walk from Xianya, the former county government. It offers free bicycle rentals and free shuttle services to Pingyao Railway Station, a 5-minute drive away. All rooms come with traditional Chinese Kang bed.

Really typical location, I loved the vibes and the host was really a good man. Wish I could stay longer (not for the town per se, but for the accommodation)

    The restaurant food was actually really great, although the "free breakfast" was just a toast with a runny egg and a couple of dumpling reheated in the microwave. Its an overall quite cheap hostel.

    The owner of the hotel is very kind and goes out of his way to satisfy every wish of his customers. I was given a map of the old town with the owner's recommendation which attractions I should definitely see and where to eat (he even gave me some discount coupons to his favourite restaurants). The hotel is in a quiet part of the old town, but close to the main street. The interior is quite nice.

    The hotel has wonderful decor and atmosphere. We loved sitting in the lovely courtyard balcony with a cool drink after a day of sightseeing. The hotel is in a quieter side street, which is ideal for peaceful sleep but only a few mins from the busier part of the old town. The host was exceptionally helpful and accommodating. We were running late for our train and he graciously took us to nearby taxi rank on his scooter - with a smile. Lovely Pingyao and lovely hotel!

    Lovely family run guesthouse in a great quiet location, yet close to everything. The beds are great and the rooms cosy - and the old courtyard is just amazing. So is the service and hospitality. Not speaking much Chinese my friends and I were very happy with all the help we got from the kind owner and his family. Thank you for a great stay in beautiful Pingyao❤️
