Homestays in Shanxi, China

Absolutely amazing experience and hospitality at a beautiful guesthouse in Pingyao. The hosts were the most friendly and hospitable hosts, and helped us with all of our needs. The room was great, with a huge bed, strong wifi, and good shower. The view in the courtyard is exceptional and you could stay there all day to look at the beauty. The location is very central, near all the major sights and streets, but also tucked down a quiet street. Thank you so much to the hosts for a wonderful time and feeling like family!

The environment is super good! ! It is within the ancient city, but not in the most prosperous commercial area, so it is very, very quiet! It's only a few minutes' walk to the commercial district, very convenient. The boss will pick up your luggage at the city wall, and breakfast will be delivered to your room at the agreed time. Most importantly, the yard is gorgeous. It’s a pity that we can’t hire a photographer to take pictures, so let’s just keep them in our memories!

The selection of B&Bs in Pingyao Ancient City is truly overwhelming. After repeated rounds of searching, I finally settled on Xingshengjiu. The experience exceeded my expectations, and I truly made the right choice. 📍Location: Convenient, tranquil amidst the bustle. Located in a quiet alley in the heart of the ancient city, it's a 10-minute walk from the bustling South Street. 💁♂️Service: Attentive, caring, and proactive 24-hour butler service. 1) Arrival: Immediately contacted via WeChat upon booking. Upon arrival, a sightseeing shuttle was picked up from the Guanbei parking lot outside the city, and the staff warmly greeted me. 2) Tours: Proactive suggestions and maps were provided during outings. Even sightseeing shuttles were arranged for trips outside the city. 3) Every time I encountered the hotel staff, they were enthusiastic and helpful. 4) Check-out: A shuttle was booked to the parking lot, and a small set of aged vinegar was given as a souvenir. 🛏️Rooms: Brand-new facilities, modern comfort 1) A two-story, two-courtyard, two-story courtyard house, designed in the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The tatami we booked was spacious and bright. The room was modern in design and amenities, including a tea table with Xiaodu automatic control. 2) The 4-meter king-size bed was high-quality and very comfortable. 3) The bathroom had separate wet and dry areas, a powerful shower 🚿, and thick, soft towels. The pink Lefen hairdryer was both stylish and powerful. 🍵Breakfast: Jin-style snacks and aged vinegar tasting Whether it's the small buffet on the first day or the nine-square set menu on the second day, you can savor local specialties. The bar also offers four flavors of aged vinegar: healthy Polygonatum odoratum vinegar and Ganoderma lucidum vinegar, as well as beauty-enhancing red date vinegar and mulberry vinegar. 💁♀️Value-added Services and Amenities 1) The Starbucks location is a unique feature, with guests receiving a complimentary Starbucks coffee and afternoon tea. 2) A laundry room is also available. Stayed for two nights and the overall experience was very good, five-star praise.

Absolutely loved our two-day stay at Wantoo B&B! The Tatami Twin Rooms boast two large beds and fantastic natural light, while the Starry Sky Family Room even has a bathtub, perfect for a relaxing soak after a day of sightseeing. The B&B's location is also excellent. It's situated within the ancient city yet offers convenient transportation; taxis and ride-sharing services can drop you off right at the entrance. They also provide free bicycles, which are incredibly handy for getting around. It was super convenient to cycle to attractions like Huayan Temple, Drum Tower, Shanhua Temple, and Southeast Yi. The front desk service was absolutely fantastic! For early risers, they thoughtfully prepare packed breakfasts, and fresh-cut fruit is also available. The B&B itself is very quiet and peaceful. Downstairs, there's a beautiful coffee shop, making it ideal for those who enjoy peace and quiet or love to read.

The room was very comfortable, the price was very high, and the boss was very enthusiastic. You can take a taxi to the small south gate of the ancient city. It is not convenient for me to get in the car I got at the gate of the ancient city. Some people came to pick me up. When I left, it was very early. Some people sent me to the gate of the ancient city. This is the first time I have come to the ancient city. The boss also told me the map route and attractions, and gave me discounts for ”people in the north” and ”Hongwuji”, haha. There are many mosquitoes in summer, and the mosquito net curtains are intimately installed at the door. In the middle of the room is a small yard. When the weather is good, it is very comfortable to sit in the yard. The bath can't be washed for too long, and the hot water will not be there (but generally not, I have washed it for too long, and I found that there is no hot water after washing). Generally speaking, the homestay is a very comfortable small yard, and the living environment is also very comfortable. I recommend everyone to live.

We had a wonderful stay here. They offer a complimentary pick up from the station and the driver was easy to find holding a flag outside the station. The Hotel is in a great location for exploring the old city. Our room was large and clean. The bed was very comfortable with an option of both hard and soft pillows. The towels were lovely and soft too! Also complimentary fruit juice and a fruit bowl. The staff were amazing, especially the staff at the front desk. Very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. They organised a driver to take us to the Wang Family Compound for a very reasonable fee. We even got a present when we booked out. It is a great place to stay! !

This B&B's service is truly exceptional! From the electric tricycles that helped transport our luggage to the welcome fruit upon check-in and the small gift upon check-out, every detail felt truly thoughtful. The convenient location, easy parking, clean and comfortable rooms, and even the restaurant recommendations were spotless and satisfying! This experience truly deserves a five-star recommendation!

We booked 4 rooms this time, with 7 people in our group + 1 child. The rooms are very clean and each has its own character and name. There are tatami beds and double beds. A large tatami bed is specially arranged for children, so they can sleep peacefully 😁. The room is fully equipped with various disposable toiletries and an instant water kettle. I especially like the service 👍🏻. The breakfast variety is much richer than we imagined, including eggs, corn, pumpkin, sweet potato, millet porridge, minced meat noodles, small cold dishes, fruits, and they even made cakes for the children. On the first day we arrived at the B&B, the staff came to meet us and help with our luggage. It was raining, and they reminded us that there were umbrellas available at the door. I also boiled some hot water to drink. There is a big solid wooden table in the lobby on the first floor, with fruits and snacks on it. The children were very happy 😄. The inside and outside of the door are carefully decorated with green plants and hydrangeas, which is very comfortable. The geographical location is perfect for our travel, close to the main road, with parking spaces available. When we don't want to drive, we can take a taxi or stroll into the ancient city for shopping and eating. As soon as I went out, I saw the city wall. I went to see the night view on my last night! This time everyone praised the convenient location.

Traditional inn style hotel, just as you enter the old city. I stayed in a typical stone bed with futon mattress, initially I was stressed I cannot sleep.well but it was perfect. Another plus is the heated japanese style toilet and the breakfast across the street at two local ladies. Cannot get more authentic than this. They offer free driving to the railway station (high speed in my case), which it came as a pleasant surprise as I was not aware of. Highly recommend for simple, authentic local experience 🙂

The B&B is located near Taiping Tower. The parking lot is at the entrance of the alley. It is very convenient. The Japanese style is very surprising. The small courtyard also has a landscape of dry landscape. It is very stylish. The facilities are quite exquisite. The big bed room is very comfortable and there is incense on the bedside. Camphor wood, fragrant, helps sleep. You can see the owner's intentions from details such as smart toilets and toiletries. The landlady is very nice, the service is very attentive, the breakfast is also amazing, and it is delivered directly to the room, which is very convenient. Mineral water drinks are waiting in the freezer in the corridor for self-pickup. It is very user-friendly and I am very satisfied. I will come again if I have the opportunity.
