It's a cheap hostel but after a trip through China, where we slept in hotels like the Westin, the Sofitel, the Crown Plaza and also this one, our youngest son decided he liked this one best (ok, it was a close tie with the Crown Plaza Chengdu because of the pool but anyway...)
The value for money is excellent. The manager speaks English, which isn't easy to find in China, but if he isn't around its sign language (like everywhere else in the city).
Location is great: in the main street, but quiet. The courtyard is nice to sit at evening. 

The rooms are traditional, with traditional stone Kang beds. And I must say: it looks lovely, but after two nights, my back was glad we moved on to a softer bed somewhere else. But is an experience and the furniture in the room is beautiful.
To me the rooms could have been a bit cleaner. Floors are fine, but it couldn't hurt to paint the walls again. 
They do offer breakfast but we didn't try that.  All in all: great value!

Tip: make sure you have cash because you have to pay in cash. And the only ATM that excepts foreign cards is outside the old city walls on the opposite site of town.

Great value

We arrived at 7am after spending the whole night in a train and the hotel was closed. Actually the name of the hotel is written only in Chinese and it is not possible to find it if you don't  reas chinese. We talked with local people and they called the owner in order to open the hotel. 
The owner DON'T speak English at all. 

Not 24h front desk

Tom send us a mail that he could pick us up from the trainstation. I send him a mail with our day and time of arrival.He replied that it was a little bit far from the trainstation and that he has to charge me 40rmb. I replied that that was fine with me. I asked him for a confirmation about our pick up from the train that same day but he never replied. 
At the station there was nobody to pick us up. I called Tom and he told me it was better and cheaper to take a taxi.
My wife and my two sons (7&10) took the taxi and we were dropped somewhere at the gate of Pingyao.It took us half an hour to find the place.
We made the booking on booking.com but Tom shows you better a room for the same price or cheaper and askes you to cancel your booking on booking.com.
It’s just a way of get rid of the commission
The room is nice but very, very dirty.
We found black hair everywere and overall it’s not clean at all.
Tom is very busy with 3 phones at the same time all day long and wasn’t very helpfull.
They say they rent bikes but those bikes are not useable at all.
The building is beautifull and the location is great but the place is not clean and we found Tom and his family not friendly nor helpfull at all.

Location great, rest is crap.

We stayed there for one night and had a really good time! The Hotel is really clean and cosy. The location of the hotel is perfect to explore Pingyao! For the price you can’t say anything! We would stay another time here! 

Lovely authenic Hotel

Received good contact from Tom who helped organise a taxi for us from the local train station for 20 yuan and then he met us at the city walls to take us to the hotel. Which I found to be very helpful as I doubt we would have found it if not. 

When showing us to our rooms we were offered an upgrade to a bigger room at no cost which we were thankful for. The bigger room had even bigger bed than the one we originally booked, so be prepared to never see the person on the other side of the bed again. 

Good location very easy and quick to walk to the Main Street which had most of the bars and restaurants. 

Pretty traditional courtyard 

This is an old courtyard home with traditional Chinese bed (very firm). Modern bathrooms.  No food service but inexpensive restaurants are next door and along the street.  Near the tourist part of town.

A Night in Old China

Very good location in the centre of the old town. The owner,Tommy, arranged a taxi to pick us up at the high speed train station which is about 20 min drive outside the town. The room itself was lovely,old style decoration and furniture. Good bathroom was good and clean with hot and cold water. The room had A/C which was great to escape the soaring temperatures outside. Tommy arranged trips for us and gave us good recommendations for eating in the town. All in all a very good place to stay. 

Very pleasant stay
