Linfen Hotels with balcony

My most delightful surprise when visiting Linfen was staying at the Ancient City Courtyard Museum Hotel. It's not a replica of ancient buildings, but rather three authentic Ming and Qing dynasty courtyards that have been relocated and restored, making it a living museum you can actually stay in. I spent four days and three nights here, truly slowing down to absorb the unique and profound atmosphere of the Pingyang region. The courtyards feature bluestone slabs, old wooden beams, and brick-carved screen walls, with every detail revealing traces of time. Beneath its ancient exterior, the interior is incredibly comfortable, with all modern amenities. The bedding and toiletries are of high quality, and the ancient courtyards offer excellent soundproofing, ensuring a quiet and serene environment, far from the city's hustle and bustle. The butler service is meticulous and thoughtful, and they patiently explain the history behind the courtyards. By day, I explored ancient architectural treasures like Guangcheng Temple, Xiaoxitian, and Fotou Temple, searching for national heritage sites in Southern Shanxi, admiring murals and ancient sculptures, and feeling the awe-inspiring ancient civilization. By night, I returned to this grand courtyard, stepping into a gentle and tranquil past. If you're visiting Linfen to explore historical sites, this hotel is highly recommended. It truly elevates the travel experience, and I would choose to stay here again on my next visit to Linfen.

We booked a triple room, which was incredibly spacious and spotless. What truly impressed us was how incredibly helpful and friendly the owner was, providing excellent service. They patiently explained the best sightseeing routes and gave us useful tips for Yunqiu Mountain. The Szechuan food at the restaurant they recommended was delicious, and the breakfast served at the guesthouse was equally tasty. Our car got quite muddy on the journey, and the owner was so thoughtful that they even brought out a hose from their home for us to wash it. Highly, highly recommend!

Facilities: Very good. The 1.8-meter bed room is large enough, with a sofa and coffee table, and a small balcony. The rooms next to each other cannot see each other unless the side curtains are opened. The slippers are of a kind that can be worn for a period of time. The quality is considered Very good. The slippers used for bathing are very clean and new. The details are great! The room is fully intelligent and has a skylight so you can see the starry sky, right above the bed. It's basically at the top of the mountain. It is only a few dozen meters away from the highest point. There is a car to pick you up the mountain. I also saw some people driving up. The hotel has a large viewing platform which is also very good. There are a lot of bugs in summer. Another way to go up the mountain is to take a ferry, but you have to walk a lot of climbing and stairs. But I also experienced it. It’s such a feeling of enlightenment. If you don’t have children, the ferry would be beautiful. Hygiene: The glass is very bright, the room does not smell of smoke, the toilet does not smell of sewer, the toilet is smart, the sink has no water stains, there is a wooden comb in a gift bag, and the slippers are placed in a sealed bag , extremely clean. Environment: You can see the stars while lying on the bed. From the small outdoor balcony, you can see the lights of Jishan Town in the distance, listen to the rain and watch the sunrise and sunset. The cool breeze blowing on the hotel platform has a nice view of the mountain top. There are just a lot of bugs. Be sure to bring mosquito repellent. After all, there are many trees and grass, and there are all kinds of little black bugs. The food we eat is most inconsistent with the national conditions. I feel that the sausages and chips are not as good as our fried dough sticks, tofu, pancakes and other Chinese breakfasts. Eating here always feels bland, just what kids like. However, it is understandable that it may be difficult to transport food in the mountains. I recommend the grilled fish for dinner and the shrimp and eggs for lunch. These two are particularly delicious. Service: There are free tickets and ferry tickets for the ropeway🚡, but I didn’t know about it carefully before going. I wanted to experience the ropeway with my children, but I didn’t expect that the ropeway is still a long way from the hotel. Walking and carrying the baby up and down even though it is a horizontal translation, it can be tiring. dead. It is tiring to let children experience the ice cave. After all, it is a mountain. Even if there is a ferry ropeway, it still takes more than half an hour to walk with children. The overall feeling is that of comfort and relaxation.

Accommodations around Yunqiushan Scenic Area are mainly homestays, with the best quality ones concentrated in Kangjiaping Village, less than six kilometers from the park entrance. Many trendy restaurants are also clustered here. However, considering that the Wannian Ice Cave and Nuoerpo Ancient Village, which I planned to visit the next day, both require a shuttle bus from the park entrance, after some deliberation, I ultimately chose the Novotel Yunqiushan Hotel located inside the scenic area. As our vehicle entered the hotel's private parking lot within the park gates, the surrounding environment immediately convinced everyone in my group that I had made the right choice. Even more delightful was the warm and thoughtful service at the front desk. Upon learning that we were travelers from afar, they directly upgraded us to a mountain-view suite for free. Opening the window revealed a lush green mountain vista, and this unexpected pleasant surprise instantly melted away the fatigue of our journey. When they heard we initially planned to find food in Kangjiaping Village, the staff immediately offered complimentary shuttle service. However, as dusk was setting in and everyone was genuinely tired from traveling, we decided to dine at the hotel restaurant instead, allowing us to rest earlier and properly refuel. Perhaps it was extreme hunger, but every dish that day tasted exceptionally delicious. It wasn't until only half a tail of the steamed sea bass was left that I suddenly remembered I forgot to take photos of the food! Fortunately, I clearly remembered the names of several signature dishes. The four of us ordered four dishes: the hotel's specialty Braised Pork Belly, aromatic Alfalfa Stir-fry with Pork, fresh and tender Steamed Sea Bass, and a refreshing seasonal vegetable dish. I was surprised by how amazing the hotel restaurant's culinary skills were. The Alfalfa Stir-fry with Pork was perfectly savory and well-seasoned with plenty of ingredients. I had worried that the steamed sea bass in a northern hotel wouldn't be as good as those prepared by southern chefs, but after tasting it, I found the texture and flavor to be on par – fresh, not fishy, and wonderfully tender. And the Braised Pork Belly truly lived up to its 'signature dish' reputation, with a perfect balance of lean and fatty meat, soft, flavorful, and melting in your mouth without being greasy. The bill after dinner came out to just over a hundred per person, which was a truly pleasant surprise for such value for money. I genuinely recommend it to friends planning a trip to Yunqiushan! After dinner, we took a leisurely stroll along the hotel's pathway. The evening breeze in the mountains carried the fragrant scent of grass and trees, which was incredibly pleasant. Back in the room, the spacious and comfortable area, elegantly styled furniture, and a soft, skin-friendly king-size bed, combined with the unique tranquility of the mountain night, allowed us to shed all fatigue and quickly fall into a sweet slumber. Setting off for Nuoerpo Ancient Village and Wannian Ice Cave the next day, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the scenic area's shuttle bus stop was right outside the hotel, making travel extremely convenient without any extra rushing. Even more thoughtful, the hotel allowed us to check out after 2 PM, so after our visit, we could return to the room to rest and rejuvenate before calmly continuing our journey. This considerate service added even more charm to our Yunqiushan trip.

There are many guesthouses nearby, and after looking around, I chose this one because it was the cleanest, very hygienic, and had free parking. The owner's service was also excellent, making me feel comfortable and attentive. My stay didn't disappoint. The bed was soft and comfortable, and I slept soundly all night. There was also a thoughtful breakfast; I especially want to praise the owner's stir-fried potato shreds—they were absolutely delicious!!! Plus, the guesthouse is located at the foot of Yunqiu Mountain, making it incredibly convenient to get to the scenic area! This guesthouse was truly amazing. We were very satisfied with both the cleanliness and service, and the price was very reasonable—it was excellent value for money. I'll definitely stay here again next time! This is my go-to place!!!

The room was great! The landlady was incredibly warm and friendly, recommending restaurants for us. Our ride was delayed, so she was kind enough to let us check out a little late. All the room amenities are brand new, and the smart features are a nice touch. The air conditioning was very powerful. The room itself has a simple yet luxurious feel. It's only a ten-minute walk from West Station, right next to a university, so there are lots of people and cheap stalls around at night. The windows and pillows were also very comfortable, and the bathroom has a great wet/dry separation. Wishing the owner prosperous business! I'll definitely come again.

It was the quietest night I stayed in during my trip. I never expected that there would be such a B&B in the valley of Shanxi. There is also a restaurant open at 9pm. Although the staff have not received long-term training, you can see the simple folk customs of farmers from them. The room furnishings and supplies are comparable to those of homestays in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The scenery is indeed a unique valley style in the north. Not far away are some cultural relics in the village and the ruins of old cave dwellings. The evaluation of picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely is also in line with

Facilities: Very new, with foam hand soap Hygiene: Very neat and clean, but it has a bit of smell due to the new decoration Environment: The surrounding environment is quite noisy, but the windows of the B&B are double-layered, which is basically not affected by the inside, but not so clear by the road, where large trucks pass by Service: When I went there, they took the initiative to help upgrade the room type, arranged parking in the backyard, and introduced that there is a place to eat next to it, but you have to drive out to have breakfast, the B&B does not have breakfast

I booked a stay at Yishengyisu, and they offer two room types: a LOFT and a standard room with a balcony. I arrived quite early in the morning, and the front desk told me they had reserved the LOFT for me. However, when I checked in, the front desk didn't say anything and just gave me a standard room with a balcony instead 🫤. I was really looking forward to the LOFT room type. Plus, there were cigarette butts on the room's balcony from the previous guest. Aside from that, the environment, dining, and hot springs in Kangjiaping Village were all pretty good. Overall, I'd rate the environment 5 stars, and the front desk 4 stars.
