We stayed in a room with our 3 children aged 8, 10 and 12 year old for 4 nights.  We loved the novEly of sharing a 3.5 mitre wide bed.  It was extremely hot while we were there, so we rolled up our sheets to create little barriers to stop the kids all rolling on top of each other.  The room and bathroom was tiny, but if you're organised you can make it work just fine.  We also got to use the common area outside our room where there were 2 couches.  The bottled water was more expensive than in the bigger cites,  but cheaper than buying it from shops on the streets.  The highlight was enjoying time with our hosts ando watching them go about their daily chores.  Our children loved playing with their children too.  We would definitely stay again if we came back to Pingyao

Wonderful hosts, and charming experience.

We will definitely recommend this place. This is not a hotel, it is a guesthouse, the check in is done in the family living room. Very simple room with bathroom, good pressure for the shower, which is not always the case in China. We loved our stay at this guesthouse as it was like staying at a family home. The family lives on the ground floor and there are 4 rented rooms upstairs. The courtyard has been left as it was before the guesthouse was setup, so it gives you a very local feeling. The guesthouse is inside the old town just next to one of the main gate. The son and daughter speak some English and do the check in and are available to help if needed. The son can do pick up/ drop off from/to the train station. For the fast trains it is 30yuans. They give you a map of the old town. 

Great option to stay in the old town

We really enjoyed our stay here. Our host was really friendly and was always ready to help us or answer our questions (he speaks English very well). The room was beautiful with a huge traditional Kang-bed, lots of space, and all convenient facilities. Furthermore, the location (very central) is perfect.

Great choice

We were really happy with our stay here. The rooms were spacious and light, and the area felt peaceful. The owner was really helpful - he picked us up from the station and helped us buy our train tickets for our onward journey. The hotel is just inside the ancient city walls, within easy walking distance of the Main Street. Great value. 

Great hotel! 

My girlfriend and I stayed at this hostel for 2 days. It was cool that one of the employees from the hostel came to the city gates to wait for us. When we arrived to the hostel it wasn't the same as on the pictures. The entrance of the hostel is not pleasant yet that probably is not their fault. Same could be said of the small closed off street in front of the hostel - not pretty at all...

Still the staff are really friendly and the room was quite spacious and clean. We also got the towels to go along with slippers, TV, WiFi, toothbrush etc..
The problem occurred every morning because there was no water.. Not in the sink, shower and toilet.. It just didn't work.. 
So this definitely is not for everyone, but for people needing their space from overcrowded streets, this is the place to go (P.S. bring your own toilet paper) :)

Okay but not for everyone

This hostel cancelled our booking 50m before we arrived. Owner disingenuously claimed it was now his house and was not accepting guests. 10m later more guests arrived and were accommodated. It took us two hours to arrange alternative accommodation and we lost most of our afternoon in Pingyao. Do not book here - pay a tiny bit more for a hostel that will not screw you over.
