Pet Friendly Hotels in Shanxi, China

What a pleasure to stay here! The location in the Old City is beautiful and interesting, with a benefit of being easy to find. The owners have a wonderful service attitude, and tried to help me with all my little issues. My room was cozy and quiet, sloping roof meet the eaves with a courtyard view. The owners offer railway station pick up, but if you end up taking a taxi, direct the driver to the north gate.

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 :)

Cute and comfortable hotel, perfectly located in the old city. The owner was very helpful, picked us up at the train station, dropped us the next day and took the time to explain everything using his translator app. Highly recommend, especially if you want good value for money !

The car was parked at the north gate parking lot. The B&B has a small electric car for pick-up and drop-off. The parking fee is 20/time. The room is relatively clean. For breakfast, there is a glass of milk, an egg and two cakes. I guess they don’t have their own kitchen. Because the B&B is a courtyard style, the sound insulation is very poor. At 6 o'clock in the morning, a group of aunts checked out and the noise was very noisy...

We had a good experience staying here. They were patient with our lack of ability to speak Chinese and we’re prepared to communicate through translation apps. The room was well accommodated and clean. Bottled water was provided and a traditional Chinese breakfast was available each morning. If you need your coffee in the morning to get started, you will need to bring your own or is it one of the coffee stands throughout town. The hotel is on one of the Backstreets next to a park and requires about a five minute walk to get to the main shopping streets, but as result is also quiet. thanks for a great day.

I highly recommend Lao Chenggen's city view room, which faces the north city gate and the city wall. The views vary in the morning and evening, and the price is worth it. I also like the location of the hotel. It is not as busy and complicated as the center of the ancient city, but it is very convenient and fast. Every important attraction in the ancient city can be reached in about 10 minutes on foot. The layout of the city-viewing room is extremely elegant, and it is very suitable for relaxing, burning incense and drinking tea after coming back from an outing. The breakfast for two provided by the hotel is also quite rich and healthy, definitely better than the general breakfast outside, with wontons, hand-rolled noodles, mutton offal noodles, and different ones every day. Before leaving the store, the store manager gave each guest a bag of organic millet produced in Shanxi and asked the store clerk to move our suitcases from the third floor to the gate of the courtyard. The service was meticulous and thoughtful. The five-star service is absolutely well deserved! 👍👍

A Step Back in Time: A Flawless Stay at a Historic Pingyao Retreat Our stay at this exceptional traditional hotel in Pingyao was nothing short of magical. Originally an academy, the property has been beautifully restored and transformed into a serene boutique hotel that immerses you in Chinese history and culture without compromising comfort. Location Perfectly situated in a quiet area away from the crowds of the main tourist sites, the hotel offered a peaceful sanctuary after long days of exploring. The silence and calm added to the authenticity of the experience, as if we had truly stepped into another era. Design & Atmosphere The preservation of the original architecture and layout of the academy was breathtaking. Every detail of the hotel—from the wooden beams to the stone pathways—exuded historical charm. The sense of place was so strong that it felt like we were emperors transported back in time. Room We stayed in the Shuyuan Canopy Bed Suite, which was immaculate and exquisitely designed. The amenities were thoughtfully curated, blending modern convenience with traditional elegance. The canopy bed was a highlight, evoking a luxurious, regal atmosphere. We were particularly touched by the high-quality tea sets provided, which allowed us to enjoy our own private tea time in the comfort of the room. Service From the moment we arrived, the staff were exceptional—always smiling, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. Free transportation from the train station was a seamless and much-appreciated touch that set the tone for the rest of our stay. Facilities Every facility was carefully maintained and contributed to the overall harmony of the space. The hotel’s attention to detail extended to every corner, making for a deeply enriching and relaxing experience. Breakfast The only area with room for improvement was the breakfast. Served in a traditional 9-bowl box, it lacked variety and felt more like a school meal than a luxury experience. We would have loved more choices and the ability to select our dishes instead of receiving a pre-chosen set. With an upgraded breakfast service, this hotel would truly be flawless. Final Thoughts This stay was one of the most unique and memorable travel experiences we've ever had. A perfect blend of heritage, hospitality, and comfort. We would return in a heartbeat—and next time, hopefully with a breakfast experience to match the rest of the hotel’s excellence.

This is my second stay, and I still like it very much!! The service is very considerate. The hardware facilities are very good!! There are laundry, drying, ironing, flower and fruit tea, sea salt, rose petals, etc., and a small refrigerator... In short, it is very good!! The environment design is very nourishing, and the boss is really attentive!! And parking is very convenient. The whole yard is brightly lit at night, with the style of Jiangnan. There are many details that are in my heart, and the most important thing is clean!! This is super important!!! You can feel that the boss is really attentive in running the business everywhere. I went to two places three months apart and the souvenirs were different and very meaningful. In short, I will definitely go there again and have tried other B&Bs, but none of them is as good as this one. The room size is available and you can choose according to your own financial conditions. If you have the conditions, they will upgrade the room for free. In short, I love to go there and I will go again!! Finally, I want to say that the photos taken by itself are not as attractive as those taken by other B&Bs for money, but you will not regret choosing it if you go there.

The location is great, just 80 m from the North Portal - since taxis are not allowed inside the city walls, it was easy to walk to from the taxi drop off point. The hotel is small, cute and quaint, and the service was friendly and helpful. The room had everything you'd expect except coffee. The bed is comfortable and it was easy to get a good night's sleep. The breakfast box is simple, authentic North China fare, with mantou, small rice porridge, a hard boiled egg, beef sausage and some vegetables, good start for your day in the ancient town.

I have stayed in Hilton, DoubleTree and Garden Hilton hotels before, but this is my first time staying in Huiting. It looks a bit like a garden. I like the room layout. The bed is by the window. There is a sofa and a small partition in front. There is even a microwave in the room. It feels very homely~~ The weather was quite hot on the day I arrived, and there was no wind. The room was 29 degrees and quite stuffy. After communicating with the front desk, they said that the air conditioner was turned on. The service was still very good and the sleep was also very good. The hotel is very new. The downside is that it is difficult to find restaurants around and their own restaurant only has breakfast and other things are not open. I don’t know why the water in the shower is very small. It’s mainly not hot enough, so I can only turn on the hot water to the maximum, and the water volume is small~~I hope it can be improved
