Pet Friendly Hotels 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 hotel is housed in a beautifully preserved historic building. The room I stayed in was comfortable, clean, and pleasant. The inner courtyard, with seating areas and where breakfast is served, is charming and gives the impression of stepping back in time. The location is excellent as well, just a 5-minute walk from the most touristic part of the old town. Breakfast is Chinese style and, personally, I found it a bit weak, but that doesn’t take away from the charm of the hotel.

We booked this place near the west gate of pingyao ancient city. The hotel is in a historical building with beautiful decorations. The room was in the same style with typical kang bed. The room was very clean and the host left us a gift on arrival. All the staff talks English. Upon arrival Fanny shown us all the tours and the details on the city map and helped us book our tickets for the city attractions. We also enjoy playing Gomoku either her in the courtyard in the evening. Breakfast is typical Chinese but you can also have western breakfast with a little fee. Helen help us with the laundry and to find our way out of the city walls which was very nice! Warmly advice for a trip to Pingyao!

The room type was upgraded for free. The sleep was very comfortable and quiet. The quality was excellent and the service was very thoughtful. It is worth recommending.

We traveled as a family of five to Pingyao and stayed three nights at the Jinxuan hotel. The stay was an absolute delight, the hosts are extremely friendly and helpful with everything. They picked us up from the train station which made it very easy to find a place. Jinxuan it’s located in the very heart of Pingyao and everything is easy to reach on foot. The facilities are simple and clean, the rooms are located in a very quiet patio of one of the traditional houses in in Pingyao. We stayed in a duplex room that offered lots of space for a family. The breakfast is traditional Chinese and the hosts spoiled us on the last day with some homegrown corn and tomatoes. If you’re looking for an authentic experience, we can absolutely recommend this place. 

We had a wonderful stay at this charming place located right in the heart of the ancient town. The large, beautiful courtyard provided a beautiful scene and the pick-up and drop-off service was really convenient. The staff were exceptionally friendly, and we were even given a lovely farewell gift. The flexibility of being able to leave a day earlier to visit another city was also thankfully no problem. While the buildings are historic and full of character, it does come with the challenge of less soundproofing in the rooms, which led to some noises like talking at night. However, this is entirely understandable given the age and historic value of the building. Overall, it was a great experience.

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!

Really love the hotel’s a**osphere. It is cool both scenery and weather. There aren’t much noice and people around the hotel, a little walk and you will reach some of the tourist’s attraction. Some employees can speak english or if not, wechat is the best help. They also booked taxi and drop us off by the taxi, the service was wonderful. Will stay here again if there’s a chance of visiting.

Rather unique hotel. Clean and tidy. Location wise, subjective, as the hotel is situated inside the Ancient City, and cars are not allowed. So prepare to walk some distance to get to the hotel. Fine for me since my main purpose there was to visit the ancient city anyway. Friendly and helpful staffs, especially the boss. Helped book transport to Railway Station for my next destination and even walked me out since it was drizzling at that moment.

The owner and their family were incredibly kind, thoughtful, and attentive. After we took a taxi from the high-speed train station to the city gate, they drove a small electric cart to pick up our luggage (as passengers aren't allowed to ride inside the ancient city). Throughout our stay, they patiently answered any questions we had, many of which weren't even about the accommodation. When it was time to leave, concerned we might miss our train, they not only helped us with our luggage but also hailed a taxi, loaded our bags, and waited for us to get in. As we were traveling with two young children, the owner kept reminding us not to rush, saying that if we could catch the train, great, but if not, it was fine – safety was the priority! After we'd left, the owner even called us, timing it just right, to check on how we were doing. Although our stay in Pingyao was less than 24 hours, we were profoundly touched by their immense warmth. We'll definitely be back next time to truly soak in the experience!
