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.

Geweldig
Pros:

Het hotel is volledig in oude stijl opgezet. De enorme en vredige rust die er hangt komt heerlijk over. De staff was erg vriendelijk, we kregen zelfs een upgrade, en s'avonds werden zelfs naar de locatie gebracht van de mooie lichtshow, welke geproyecteerd werd op de stadsmuur. Erg indrukwekkend. Was op de zaterdagavond.

Cons:

Niets

La atención del personal, han sido encantadores desde el primer minuto. El emplazamiento, aunque no es céntrico, es una muy buena opción para terminar conociendo la ciudad. El hotel en si es muy acogedor. Sin duda, muy recomendable

Mooi hotel met binnentuin en lantaarnen.
Pros:

Het hotel was een typisch chinees huis met binnentuin. De kamers lagen rond de binnentuin, met elk zijn rode lantaarn, heel charmant. Alle elementen in de kamer ademde geschiedenis uit, zeer aangename ervaring.
Lekker ontbijt.
