The Elsewhere hotel was a little gem: it felt like were were staying at one of the ancient buildings we saw around town, while still having the comfort of a modern hotel room. I would recommend accepting the pick up service offered from the train station, since it's quite far from the hotel: we were greeted by Alice, who spoke excellent English and who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, even booking the tickets for the city's attractions with her own phone and account when mine didn't want to cooperate. We went to Ping Yao to experience ancient China, and came away with the experience of a lifetime.
Boasting well preserved architectural structure and attention-to-detail service, Jing's Residence is a hidden gem in the ancient walled town of Pingyao, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

An amazing stay in central Pingyao Old Town. The hotel is very stylishly decorated (in contrast to many other cheesy ones in Pingyao. The room is spacious and the courtyard is nice and quiet. The breakfast is mostly homemade and delicious. The staff is super friendly and attentive. They treated us with tea upon arrival, then afternoon tea. They even remember we preferred whole meal bread from the previous day’s breakfast. It’s not a cheap place (given the general price level in China) but it’s a very memorable experience.

The owner, he was very helpfull with everything. He tried his best to speak English and helped with the places to go. Also, I had an early check-out, but made sure I had breakfast. Finally he took a scooter so he could take me to the gate voor a taxi.

Beautiful accommodation at the centre of ancient city of Pingyao in the bustling South Street. The owner and staff are very friendly, warm and helpful. They picked us up from the station and brought us to Ancient City (cars are not allowed inside) and also brought us on the day of departure, both for very reasonable fees, because we were with 5, too many for a taxi.
The hotel and rooms were in a traditional style, allowing for great pictures.The beds and cushions were very comfortable for us. The bathroom and toilet are combined in a small room, but it wasn't bothersome.The owner knows the nearby shops and good spots to go to, definitely ask for tips.
We enjoyed our 2 nights and 3 days in Pingyao a lot, definitely recommended.

Beautiful ancient city, and you still can feel the daily normal leaving of its inhabitants. Liked the most to have 99.9999% chinese tourist at this time of the year, Mid March. Only 4 westerners encountered. Chinese History at its best. Lots of historical places to visit and learn from ancient China. Unmissable for local and foreigner travellers.

Incredibly beautiful town, totally made up of traditional Chinese architecture (at least on the main streets). You can buy a ticket that allows entry into many of the sites, including the Draft Bank, Temple of the City God, Confucius Temple and so many more, and then spend a day wandering around exploring them as you come across them. (Note that some of the smaller ones have almost no English signs, so it can be difficult to know what they are!). We bought the ticket from a window nearby (1 minute east) of the draft bank, but there may be other places. It's also interesting to go up the City Walls and see the town from above.

Fantastic historic walled town where you can easily escape the tourist area. Very very unique however Pollution was a big problem during our stay as it is in the midde of a huge area full of factories. We spent the 2 days with our masks on.

We visited in November so starting to get chilly at night. The numerous museums are interesting and give a good idea of times past. Great food in town but one or two restaurant and shop owners give more hustle than we'd like. Not too many tourists at the time we visited and we pretty much had the whole wall to ourselves. The old town is a comfortable size to walk around over 2 days. The 3 day "tourist pass" is well worth the price we paid.

Don't forget to visit MianShan which is 1 hour by car - you can easily spend 2 days there!
For dinner: a little bit away from the busy street you will find cheaper option. Or just try some small bites here and there.

We were there for 2 nights, 2 days.
We were there for 2 nights, 2 days. We arrived Friday at about 6pm and enjoyed walking around the old city, had a "fish in tank nibbling off dead skin off our feet" experience! Saturday we took a taxi to Wang's Family Compound, 50 km away. This is well worth doing - we took 3 hours to viist the compound which reminded us of a cross betwen the Great Wall and the Forbidden City.... On the way back we stopped at Shuanglin Temple - we only had 30 minutes there before it closed but it was more than enough - and I'd say this is very missable. Saturday evening we went to the excellent 20 minute 8pm laser show where they project historic scenes of Ping Yao onto the outside southern City Wall and the Yingxun Gate. Worth watching. Sunday we walked round some of the main historic sights including the Ancient Government Building, Ri Sheng Chang & the Residence of Ma's Family - all recommended.
The hotel is excellent. They came and pick us up and dropped us off at the train station. They communicated with us and arranged the transportation to arrive at the facility. The hotel has an excellent location, right in the Pingyao main street. There are lots of restaurant and dining options available. The room was really comfortable and clean. The hotel lobby (patio) was astonishing and very welcoming to the visitor. The breakfast was excellent. The hotel staff was really friendly and kind. We will stay again at this hotel!
Staying at Pingyao Ji Family Courtyard Inn in Pingyao was a truly memorable and wonderful experience for me. The hotel has been brilliantly refurbished and equipped with modern hotel amenities (e.g air conditioning, modern toilets and showers, etc) in a manner that makes it extremely comfortable and convenient, yet without lessening the authentic, old feel which makes it so appealing.I feel it was the exceptional hospitality and genuine friendliness of the staff that made my stay so great.
Very great location and more than anything great and helpful staff, an always smiling and friendly kitchen chef :) and the owner helped us to arrange tickets to the Youjian Pingyao show (don't miss it!), Breakfast was basic Chinese breakfast but good, and we had dinner in the restaurant every night. We were afraid that we would get back pain from the beds (Kang Style bed means a brick / wood underground and a thin mattress), but unless you have severe back problems, you'll sleep well here.
The best value for money you can ever find on this website!!!
Loved the location on South Avenue in Pingyao Ancient City. The front is a restaurant with rooms in the back after going through a traditional courtyard. The rooms are renovated and up to date. The bed was comfortable!!!
Most importantly, the hostess was extremely kind and helpful. She explained everything (in English) and provided a plan to best explore town.
Really don’t think twice before booking this gem of a place!
Lovely family run guesthouse in a great quiet location, yet close to everything. The beds are great and the rooms cosy - and the old courtyard is just amazing. So is the service and hospitality. Not speaking much Chinese my friends and I were very happy with all the help we got from the kind owner and his family. Thank you for a great stay in beautiful Pingyao❤️
A traditional Pingyao family home inside the city walls but away (5-10 minutes walk) from the busiest tourist part of town. The hosts are lovely. I stayed 2 nights. The first night I was the only guest and I met the family’s delightful 11 year old twin daughters. All in all a great place to feel part of an older China.
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.
Excellent and super attentive customer service, beautiful decoration and interior design, location is perfect to explore the area, delicious and healthy breakfast. We highly recommend Jing’s Residence for your stay in Pingyao.
The location was great and there was a good atmosphere. The room itself was quite warm and cozy. Breakfast was pretty tasty local cuisine. Very communicative - easy to coordinate a train station pick up and drop off vi a hotel
location in Pingyao old city was best.
The location is far from the high-speed train station, but the hotel provides a pick-up service. So, you don't need to worry about the distance between the hotel and the station
Great location, authentic 200yr old courtyard house renovated to very high boutique hotel standards. Most importantly what makes it special is genuine hospitality received from staff at all levels. Top level service.
The hotel is a traditional building in the old town. Perfect location. Free pick-up service from and to train station, which is very convenient. The staff was very nice.
Very nice courtyard hotel. It sets you back in time. Very well decorated. Staff is friendly and provides pick up from the main entrance of the ancient city.
