Pingyao Yide Hotel

In the middle of the old town, this hotel is an authentic place. The restaurant is also good (with Chinese wine per glas or bottle). You have the same spirit as the very nice belgium comic "Tintin et le lotus bleu"

Pingyao Yide Hotel, a beautifully preserved traditional courtyard that truly transports you back to the late Qing dynasty. The location is ideal—nestled in a quiet alley yet just a five-minute walk from the bustling downtown area, offering both convenience and tranquility. The rooms were traditionally designed with handcrafted wood furnishings and artwork, maintaining the historical essence while providing modern comforts. Cleanliness was impeccable, ensuring a comfortable stay.What truly made my experience outstanding was the staff—the best among the best. They were incredibly kind, going out of their way to make me feel at home, creating an unforgettable, welcoming experience. Breakfast was also a delightful touch!Overall, Pingyao Yide Hotel is a perfect blend of history, comfort, and genuine hospitality. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Pingyao!

Since the rooms were converted from an old courtyard building, the bathroom space is quite compact and does not have a separate dry area, which might not be ideal for some guests. However, given the historic nature of the hotel, this is simply part of its authentic charm rather than a drawback.

This place was perfect. It’s location in central to all the sites. Though it is the staff that makes this place amazing! They were so welcoming and accommodating.

The authenticity of the building and furniture, the friendliness of staff, and of course the location.

I can't think of anything I didn't like.

this really is a special place. An old house each room is different with a raised lang for a bed which was very comfortable. The staff were so kind and helpful.

I liked everything!

The staff were really friendly and helpful. Explained the area, what places to visit, how to get tickets and picked me up and dropped me off at the station. A beautiful boutique hotel and I had a great simple room. They had gone out of their way to provide just about everything you needThe location is ideal, a very short walk to the old town. Very handy for restaurants and bars.

A little more lighting on the stairs to my room

Beautiful house and calming atmosphere, very nice staff, very good food in the hotel’s restaurant. As the hotel is located inside the city wall, all the important sights are nearby.

We had a wonderful stay! Incredibly efficient and extremely kind staff The rooms are perfectly clean and quiet. Very com

An unforgettable lodging experience! This hostel mesmerized us with its well-preserved historical courtyard, making us feel as if we were living in a museum, steeped in charm and history. We had the pleasure of staying in both the room in the main courtyard and the Yaodong room. Each room was spacious, featuring super large, comfortable beds that ensured a restful night's sleep.The cleanliness and service at the hostel were impeccable. Every area was maintained spotlessly. The staff were warm and always eager to assist, making us feel truly welcomed.I highly recommend this hostel, particularly in the winter. Its perfect blend of historical elegance, modern comfort, and the added beauty of snow make it an unparalleled choice. Looking forward to my next visit!

We were glad to have chosen this Hotel for our stay in Pingyao. Everything was nice, the rooms are very special, designed into the old Temple. Breakfast even for western people very good. In general, the Restaurant is very good and perhaps the best in Pingyao. Quality of the food is excellent.

TV was not working, but this is ok, if you stay for 4 or 5 nights

Yide Hotel was incredibly beautiful and serene! The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. I emailed across my arrival train and they arranged (for a very small sum!) for me to be picked up- the same on the way back to Pingyaogucheng, which was immensely helpful. On the day I arrived I happened to get an upgrade on my room- can't be guaranteed, but was great. The breakfast was delicious- I had a lovely tea, scrambled eggs and toast. There were many more options and it was unlimited in how much you had! They gave me a useful map and talked me through the top sites to see. Overall a brilliant stay.

Nothing I didn't like!

The yard is perfect located in the ancient city. We have got from the beginning until the departure a perfect support by the hotel team. It starts from pick up from the parking lot (outside of the city wall), perfect support to enter the city, luggage transfer, yard introduction, meals……..The rooms are very stylish like we wished to get it. Cleanness and comfort are clear priority in this accommodation. We used the 3 bed room and in the end there would be enough space for 4 people. As well the offered dishes are various and tasty. The restaurant team likes to fill fill as well special wishes. The breakfast is typical with egg-dishes, toast, marmalade,……, coffee, milk, juice.The location is approximately 5 minutes to walk from the most central and touristic road in the Center. That’s for us perfect to be near but as well to have the silent surrounding after discovery of the town. The yard team supports as well to find the right spots and it’s easy to follow the recommendation.Communication was efficient, clear and in English language. Many thanks again - we will come back (next time with G train to Pingyao station and using your pick up).

Very welcoming hotel. Feels like going back in time, very clean and big spacious room (we were lucky to get a room upgra

We really enjoyed the opportunity to stay in a traditional courtyard house. Our room was very comfortable with a well-appointed ensuite bathroom, and it was a pleasure to sit outside in the private courtyard in the evenings. The staff could not have been more friendly, attentive and helpful. We also highly recommend the restaurant - the dinner we had there was exceptional.

Everything was perfect.

A lovely historical accommodation with authentic patina, but well-tended, perfect location to visit the old town, but quite, very friendly and helpful host, excellent dishes - highly recommended.

Hard beds have not really been an issue for us, the butter is even harder! ;-)

Yi de Hotel is a lovely, authentic hotel located in a quiet spot close to the centre of the ancient city. The rooms and courtyards are particularly charming. The staff were excellent. The restaurant provided delicious meals at good prices and was preferable to the various restaurants on offer in the town. I highly recommend this hotel.

Yide Hotel is a very authentic 300 years old courtyard hotel, combining the charme of the old, which is preserved with great care, with all amenities, including a modern bathroom, central heating and a great western breakfast (or of course a Chinese one, if you prefer that). It is located in a conveniently quiet area of the old town, just a 5 minutes walk away from the busy center, all the sightseeing spots, restaurants and shops. But as important as the actual premises is the extraordinary service! Julie from the front desk speaks excellent English and certainly went the extra mile to make me happy - and to get me into the Old Town in the first place. I visited Pingyao when traveling in China was still kind of difficult for foreigners. She provided all the information on what kind of documents I would be needing and passed them on to the local authorities before I even arrived. On arrival she accompanied me to the city gate and helped me to get registered (and in ?). Needless to say that the hotel can arrange trips for you and organizes car, driver and also an English speaking guide (Jonathan was great!), if required. There are some very nice places for a day tour close by. There is a lot of construction work going on in the less touristy areas of the town. If you want to experience the until now still existing unspoiled flair of an old Chinese settlement don't wait too long with your trip.

We are talking a Chinese courtyard hotel, so the bed, while large and I think comfortable, is harder than western standard beds. Also the room temperature might not be what you are used to in winter, in spite of the central heating and the fact, that it was already running when I arrived.

Amazing staff, very authentic

It is a beautiful cosy place, it is exactly what I was looking for. They really pay attention to small details and the service is amazing. All the staff was always there for us.

Nothing, everything was perfect.
