Ottima esperienza a Ping Yao
Pros:

Struttura meravigliosa, dimora storica di uno dei banchieri del paese. Conservata perfettamente! Location comoda nell’antica città di Ping Yao, ma in zona tranquilla. Personale disponibile e molto molto accogliente. Ci hanno aiutato anche nei transfer e nella visita della città. Ottima esperienza

Cons:

Nulla

Pros:

L’atmosfera fantastica, particolarmente di sera, ti trasportava in un tempo lontano. Molto gentile la signora in reception, finalmente una persona che parlava inglese. Ci ha aiutato con il pass per i siti da vistare e illustrato la mappa.

Cons:

Pulizia da rivedere nelle stanze, la stanza aveva bisogno di arieggiare. Stanza piccolissima, inadatta per due persone. Ci è stata servita una colazione continentale mediocre senza chiederci se avremmo preferito quella locale. Tavoli insufficienti per gli ospiti.

Mediocre anche il pick up dalla stazione, pagato il triplo di Didi e camminato il doppio, alle 14.00 del pomeriggio avremmo gradito essere lasciati al west gate (abbiamo praticamente parcheggiato anche noi e camminato lungo le mura) e prendere un mezzo per arrivare all’hotel.

Ritengo che 5 stelle siano decisamente troppe.

Un tuffo nel passato
Pros:

La struttura è ricavata all’interno di una bellissima casa storica ma ha tutti i comfort di una struttura moderna. Alice e Fanny che gestiscono l’hotel sono simpatiche, accoglienti e molto disponibili

Good stay in Pingyao
Pros:

Location was good. Bit on the side of the old town and not in the noisy area. Staff was very kind and eager to help with everything. Breakfast was fine. They make ether a western or Chinese breakfast plate for you. The hotel looks very cute and original. If you are a fan of these kind of places i would for sure recommend!

Cons:

The beds are a little hard

Perfecto
Pros:

Me gustó todo. La amabilidad del personal, el hotel era super bonito. Excelente ubicación.

Cons:

Por poner alguna pega, la cama es un poco dura acostumbrados a lo que tenemos en España, pero aún así dormí muy muy bien, así que eso tampoco podría ponerlo como algo malo

Wspaniały pobyt
Pros:

To był fantastyczny pobyt! Hotel jest bardzo czysty, i świetnie położony. Pokoje są przestronne, a obsługa niezwykle uprzejma i zawsze gotowa do pomocy.

Szczególne podziękowania należą się Hana i Funny. Dzięki ich życzliwości oraz ogromnej wiedzy otrzymaliśmy wiele cennych informacji o Pingyao i najciekawszych miejscach wartych odwiedzenia.

Profesjonalizm, serdeczność i zaangażowanie personelu zasługują na najwyższą ocenę. Z przyjemnością wrócimy tutaj przy kolejnej wizycie.

A place I can 100% recommend to travelers if they decide to slow down in Pingyao.
Pros:

The property is very clean. The courtyard vibes took me back to ancient China. It such a great break from boring and concrete wall hotels in big cities. Funny and Anna were very friendly and helpful too. They made everything easy.

Cons:

Nothing.
