Lock in a great price for Pingyao Laochenggen Inn – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Staff were very helpful and the accommodation was very authentic and clean. Room had a romantic feel :)

Jessica, Australia

Very authentic courtyard house and very gracious staff.

Kc, Qatar

Location very good, just 7 min walk from the center. The hotel is gorgeous, so typical and the boss is really a nice person. I stayed in 7 hotel during my trip in China and this one was definitely my favorite!

Yoann, France

The guy who works there is really nice and helpful, the room is totally chinese style :)

Diana, Spain

Views from the 11th floor. The staff speaks english

Belen, Spain

Comfortable traditional-style room in courtyard house, friendly host. Close to the old train station and north bus station (if taking bus 108 from the new station or Shuanglin Temple).

Ken, Japan

The room was nice and clean, located in a beautiful old building. The location might seem far as it’s not at one of the main streets of Pingyao, but in fact it’s only a couple of minutes walking. In return you get to stay in a much quieter and calmer place than the noisy center.

Kasia, Poland

Lovely courtyard and decorated room. Friendly personnel and good location. Best guesthouse in our 3 weeks China vacation.

Remy, Netherlands

The owner was super kind and efficient. We arrived at 6 am in the morning, very early considering the check in at twelve. We spent the nigth on a train without bed, we were destroyed and needed a shower. Our room was available at 12, but some guests left at 8 in the morning, so he cleaned up the room to let us get in, get a shower and a rest. The room was bigger than our and beautiful. The cost was 260 but he let us pay 200 per night. Last day we checked out and left the luggages inside and went visit Mian Shan. Back to the hostel the guy let us take a shower in the share bathroom of the courtyard and reserved for us a taxi to the train station. Really kind and helpful, thank you again! About the place nothing to add, it is simply amazing, kang bed very comfortable, room clean...we would have spent there more time!

Giulia, Italy

Really great décor. Like living in olden times. Still very comfortable though. I loved the big square bed built on bricks. Price was great too

The water pressure was a bit of problem (2nd floor). Couldn't take a shower earlier than 07.30 in the morning, and the same in the evening before 19.30. The price during holiday is four times that of usual, bit pricey.
Nice staff, gave us a free map and showed us the spots worth seeing. Good location, near the north gate (parking lot), approx. 30mins' walk to the south end of the town.
