Fantastic Stay in the Heart of the Old Town
Pingyao Garden Inn is a charming and authentic homestay, perfectly located in the middle of the old town. Despite being so central, it’s surprisingly quiet, offering a peaceful retreat after exploring the ancient streets.
The hosts are incredibly friendly and even offer discounts at local restaurants, adding extra value to the stay. A special mention goes to their adorable poodle-cross dog, Honey, who adds a warm and homely touch to the place.
The rooms maintain a traditional style with old-style beds and pillows filled with wheat—something to keep in mind as the beds are on the firmer side. However, the modern ensuite, heating, electric blankets, and provided toiletries ensure a comfortable stay.
Overall, Pingyao Garden Inn is a great value-for-money option for those looking to experience a classic, cozy stay with welcoming hosts in an unbeatable location. Would definitely recommend!

First of all: the owners get a 10/10. they are an old couple, super sweet and try to give you the best stay as possible. They cannot speak English which led to a laughing moment as they where translating Chinese into Spanish which we cannot speak.
A few things to consider: the rooms are small which is usually super okay for us. We don’t need much room and price as well as location was great. It still became a bit of an issue in our situation as it was pouring rain and the rooms is directly entered from the outside area. There is no space to leave wet shoes outside or much space to hang wet clothes. So this might not be an issue if you visit in summer. It really depends an is an subjective view.
The reason for a lower rating of cleanliness is, that the first room, they gave us, was spelling so bad that the first thought was „good that we only stay for one night“ and the second „how will we be able to get this out of our clothes“. We are backpackers…
After we when through the old town, we came back and the lady must have noticed our discomfort and asked if we would like to change the room. We did so as the second room was still smelling a bid old but totally acceptable for the ancient building. The room was much better even though there was still dust on some of the desks so we wipes it first before putting stuff on it.
Again, 10/10 for the kind and friendly hosts. On a sunny day, the experience might have been positive on all the topics but we have to be honest…
Response from Property: First of all, I would like to thank you for your careful and thoughtful evaluation! You mentioned that "the simplicity of the old house has become a feature", which touched us. Indeed, this two-hundred-year-old Chinese Ming and Qing courtyard building balances historical style and modern fashion in a limited space, which is indeed an unchangeable architectural design style. The sudden rainy season you encountered affected your travel. We maintain the linen change for each guest in the room, and will do a better job in the ventilation and dust of the room in the future. The inn also has large new Chinese-style rooms. I hope you can promote China's traditional culture and welcome you again!

A cool historic place to stay in this historic city, with really helpful staff — they will go above and beyond to make your stay a success! The only downside is the room smells strongly of mothballs, and it was a week or two before it finally came out of my clothes.
Response from Property: Thank you for your stay, the inn is left by the ancestors, there are two hundred years of history, may not be able to avoid a little taste of history, in the summer we will do pest control work for everyone to better experience the Jinshang culture of the Siheyuan, also hope that you will Pingyao ancient city to your hometown! Thank you!

The room is very clean. It is in the center of the ancient city. It is a quadrangle with green plants in the yard. The landlord introduced us the route to the tour. He was very considerate. It is very close to various attractions. It is only a few minutes away from the county office, ticket office, escort agency, etc. It is also close to the main street. It is a quiet location in the bustling city. Recommend to everyone. We will choose this place again.

The inn is a local house with a large yard. It is very comfortable to sit in the yard. The room is very clean. It is a local characteristic earthen kang room. The breakfast made by the landlady tastes super good and is worth recommending! The restaurant recommended by the landlord is also very delicious.

The location is very central, the staff is very helpful and attentive. For the price, the experience of sleeping in a traditional bed is great, but the facilities are dated.

Response from Property: Thank you for your stay. The room was renovated in 2022. The inn is a typical courtyard house in northern China. The bathroom is well separated into dry and wet areas. There are several relatively old furniture (wardrobes) and ornaments (hat boxes) in the room. We will work hard to do better in the future! We also hope that you can promote better history and culture for China!

Located within the walled city, it offers easy access to restaurants and other attractions.
The family who runs the place were very friendly. They gave us maps and showed us the main attractions.
The room is new and the bathroom is great.
Great stay

The accommodation is very close to the bustling South Street. We were given a map of the attractions and a free luggage pick-up service. It was also very quiet at night and we went to bed early. It was good. The children said they would come again next time.

Pingyao Garden Inn, which I found on Qunar.com, has a high praise rate. I chose it as my temporary residence during my trip to Pingyao Ancient City. The homestay is located in the center of the ancient city, which is very convenient to various attractions in the ancient city. The inn is clean and tidy, and the environment is elegant and quiet. The owner and his family are very hospitable and took the initiative to introduce us to the surrounding environment, the best routes to visit the ancient city attractions, and the characteristics of the main attractions. Every morning, they prepared a delicious breakfast for us on time, helped us solve various needs, and contacted the vehicle to the high-speed rail station for us when we left. Two days made us feel comfortable and warm just like at home. I would like to thank Mr. Gong and his family at Pingyao Garden Inn. I look forward to visiting Pingyao Ancient City again next time.

The inn is easy to find, the service is warm and thoughtful, and there are three meals a day and photography services. The rooms are fully equipped and the earthen kang is comfortable to sleep on, which is what we southerners need. The inn is in the center of Pingyao Ancient City, so it is very convenient no matter how you go around.
