Red Lantern Inn Reviews

Great service and lovely house! The room was a decent size, especially for a place in the old town. There’s a clothing rental shop right in front, and they gave me a really good deal. I accidentally left a shirt behind, and they were kind enough to send it to my new address. Really appreciate their help!

We arrived in the evening and it was raining a lot therefore we appreciated so much their free pick up from the train station to the hotel! The structure is simply beautiful and the owners are really kind. They gifted us of a local vinegar bottle, the rooms are simple but clean and the breakfast as well is nice. The position is strategic in the city centre of the old Pingyao. They allowed us to store our luggages on the day of the departure. We definitely recommend to stay here :)

Was great. Very well placed close to the main street. The courtyard area is beautiful especially at night. The room itself has character. It makes you feel like you are in Pingyao. Tbe customer service was top notch.

Super kind owner who offered us a pick up from the station, very central position inside the ancient city walls, Chinese breakfast included.

We had a great stay. The hotel was clean, breakfast (Chinese) was tasty and plentiful and the staff was very nice and helpful. We would definitely recommend and stay again.

The entire hotel, particularly, the courtyard was beautiful and my room was lovely. The hotel provided a ride from the train station and also gave me a lift with my luggage from the hotel to the main gate where I could get a taxi for the way back to the train station. The morning breakfast was a traditional Chinese breakfast, very filling although perhaps strange for some western visitors.

The room was nice, clean and had all the basics. It also had a purified water faucet. The staff was very helpful. For example they allowed me to store some food in the kitchen fridge and warmed it up for me the next day. The Inn offered me a free transfert from the train station and I was welcomed. The breakfast was Chinese and plentiful. The facilities could be improved, as the kitchen and breakfast place are tiny within a store. The rooms are behind in an old house, which could benefit from some tidying up and refreshing . Overall, I was happy to stay there and would recommend it to people travelling on a small budget. There was no noise at night. The inn was located well.

My stay at this hotel had some definite highlights. The service was truly excellent – being picked up from the train station and taken directly to the hotel was a fantastic and much-appreciated touch. The reception staff was also very helpful and friendly throughout my stay. The hotel's location was also a big plus, making it easy to get around. However, the cleanliness of the room could have been better. While generally acceptable, the shower, in particular, needed more attention. Overall, the excellent service and great location were strong points, but improvements in room cleanliness, especially the bathroom, would significantly enhance the guest experience

Lovely one night stay in The Red Lantern. Free pickup from high speed train was a lovely surprise and we had help from the city walls to the hotel with our luggage which was great, thank you!

The hotel is nice, familiar and clean. The host is very friendly and helpful. We had a great stay and felt comfortable 😊

We had a really good time here. We were picked up at the train station and were brought to the hotel. All of this went very smooth. The room we booked was supposed to be smoke free, but it seems someone had smoked in our room and the smell was too much. They were able to supply us with a different room that did not smell. The room was great, it was nice and warm (it was close to freezing at night) and as clean as you can expect. We had breakfast 1 time, the breakfast is 2 types of noodles, some veggies, buns and eggs.

Location nice in old town. Super friendly, they arranged a pickup for us from the station. In the evening nicely illuminated with latern and a small terrace to sit. The (served) breakfast was very tasty.

Good place near the North gate. Friendy staff. Good breakfast and peaceful room. Hot water (shower) was a bit weak. Amazing city.

They were very kind, took me from the train station and even offered me a bottle of vinegar. The breakfast was authentic and the room confortable.
