This hotel has been going nearly 20 years, and now may be the best budget option for international travelers. The location is central, the hosts friendly, and they are used to international guests. This hotel has been popular with French diplomats, and a former President even stayed here.

The lobby/restaurant hasn't changed much over the years and the walls are covered with cards from appreciative guests and photos of famous guests. 

When staying in Pingyao, a good courtyard hotel is a key part of the experience, and this hotel fits the bill. The courtyards are charming, and many rooms have traditional kang-style beds, but with soft mattresses, something which is hard to find in Pingyao. 

The restaurant also serves good local food, and normally also has real coffee and Western breakfast, but this service had been suspended as there are few international guests in 2020. 

Note that there are tiny rooms, somewhat larger rooms, and even a few rooms with lofts. The tiny rooms have space for little more than the kang/bed and there is no separate shower stall, like in an RV, so be warned! 

Not having a shower stall is common in Pingyao, but the larger rooms have bathrooms large enough that everything doesn't get wet when you shower.

The rooms have good water pressure. AC/heating units, good lighting. Not many outlets or place to put luggage though.

Dejuyuan is a good choice to get a feel for living in an old courtyard home without breaking the bank or your back (on a hard bed). 



Still open for business!

The service at the hotel was amazing, the rooms are out of an old imperial movie. This hotel takes you back in time,the beautiful yard  is the oldest yard in the ancient town. Former French president Valerie Giscard d'Estaing stayed here. The hotel still has that historical nobility from another era. It is perfectly located in the heart of the city. The antique beds are comfortable, the only downsize is the shower. It does not have any curtains to separate the shower from the toilets. Overall we loved our stay at the Dejuyuan.

Great historical hotel, great service, great location!

This guesthouse is perfect for any traveler looking to get off the beaten path of many other tourists. Right in the heart of Pingyao is this cozy guesthouse that was an absolute delight to stay in. An absolute must for anyone looking to stay in Pingyao for a couple of nights.

Great Summer Getaway

The hotel is lovely and whimsical with a lot of atmosphere. The beds were rock hard, the shower barely dripped and we could hear every word of our neighbors conversations. It was fine for a night, but if staying a few days I would rather have spent more money to have a good nights sleep.

Heavy on Charm, Light on Comfort

We recently visited the guesthouse as part of a wedding trip, this was my second time - there were 20 of us from Australia staying at Dejuyuan. From the moment I called the Guesthouse they were so accommodating! They arranged for a bus to pick us up from the railway station and were waiting by the train platform when we arrived. 

They cooked for us at meal times, were happy to arrange tickets and gave us plenty of helpful tips. When you visit the guesthouse you will instantly feel as though you have been transported back in time. They have welcoming hospitality with traditional decor, timber furniture and traditional rooms. The rooms are lovely and very comfortable. 

When we were leaving Dejuyuan, my family told me it was the highlight of their China trip. Many thought it was the tastiest food they have had in China! If you are visiting China, Pingyao is a great stop between Xi'an and Beijing, it will be your most memorable experience. And, if you do visit Pingyao, I highly recommend the Dejuyuan Guesthouse - I will definitely be staying there again!

Highlight of our China Trip

what a place ! right in the main street , very simple , but cosy and confortable rooms ( great heating , for November ) .Good food  ( breakies and dinner ) , familly run  , staff smiling and very helpful.

are we in a movie ?!

I visited this Hotel with a group of 24 guests coming from Lebanon for a cultural Tour for two nights. This beautiful Chinese guest House is located in the ancient city. 
To reach the hostel you need to take a shuttle and then walk for few hundred meters to the guest house entrance. 
A beautiful experience in rooms with typical Chinese large beds. The rooms are very clean and comfortable but toilets can be very cold comparing to the heated rooms in autumn. There is no Bathtub.
The guest house is at a walking distance from many attractions in the old town and in the middle of a shopping area.

Food is good and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Very nice authentic old guest House, Chinese style

A lovely authentic and characterful old courtyard guesthouse in a fantastic location, right in the heart of the old town and within walking distance of all the sights. My first impression was that the room was a bit sparse however it turned out to be surprisingly comfortable and really quiet and peaceful. Food was also very good with a variety of dishes.
