Pingyao Yide Hotel

La gentillesse du personnel, et les chambres aménagées dans une Siheyuan (résidence traditionnelle chinoise). Magnifique !

L'hotel è una dimora storica nel centro del paese (dentro le mura), quindi ti deve piacere il genere. In generale camere pulite e staff molto cortese e disponibile. La colazione è unlimited però non troppo varia. Camera spaziosa e letti comodi.

Abbiamo dovuto pagare il transfer dalla stazione all'hotel, a mio avviso potrebbe essere offerto considerando qualità prezzo dell'hotel abbastanza alto.

The hotel buildings, rooms and restaurant are gorgeous and historical. The breakfast is ample and the service impeccable. Julie organised a car for us to visit the surrounding area, everything went smoothly. If you go to Pingyao, stay here!

Nothing, it was all perfect!

El sitio es precioso, la habitación grande y confortable y el personal súper amable. De los pocos sitios donde nos dieron un mapa y nos explicaron todo lo que teníamos que visitar. Un sitio perfecto y bien cuidado. El desayuno buenísimo. Las camas muy cómodas.

Quizá el precio, en comparación con otros sitios, pero entendemos que estar en un lugar tan especial tiene un precio.

Atmosfera stupenda in una posizione eccezionale, personale gentilissimo.

Authenticité du lieu et attention porte au client. On est accueilli comme des invités, plus que comme des clients En couple, surclassés dans une chambre pour 3. Véritable maison historique.

The hotel is historical (17th century), with a lot of charm. Julie was adorable, dedicated, smiling, did all she could to make us feel at home. The location is perfect, inside the walls.

The room was large but could have been a bit more modern.

Das Hotel selbst befindet sich am sehr guter Lage und ist sehr ruhig gelegen. Das Personal war zu Beginn abweisend, weil sie mit dem Abendessen Service beschäftigt waren. Uns hat das aber gestört, wir fühlten uns nicht willkommen. Die Zimmer sind extrem einfach, es gibt keinen Wasserkocher und kein Kaffee und Tee Zubehör. Es gab auch keinen Kühlschrank. Dies, obwohl in der Beschreibung von Booking, Kaffee und Teezubehör aufgeführt sind. Uns wurden Zimmer gleich neben dem Restaurant zugewiesen. Hier war es teils sehr lärmig und wir fühlten uns teils gestört durch lautes Reden. Ich bekam auf Nachfrage einen Wasserkocher. Am zweiten Tag war das Personal nicht mehr so gestresst und dann auch sehr freundlich. Die Küche des Restaurants ist sehr gut und das Morgenessen ist mit Liebe zubereitet. Die Zimmer sind extrem einfach es sind keine Zimmer, denen man sich einen Tag aufhalten kann und entspannen. Unsere Zimmer waren lediglich ein Platz zum Schlafen. Unsere Zimmer wurde auch nicht richtig gemacht, es wurde kein Toilettenpapier aufgefüllt, sodass wir nachfragen mussten.. Wir hatten wohlgemerkt ein Deluxe-Zimmer. Der Preis ist für das, was man bekommt zu hoch. Wer ein einigermassen komfortables Zimmer möchte, der sollte nicht hier buchen.

Siehe oben. 5 Sterne sind masslos übertrieben. Bestenfalls 3 Sterne.

What a great experience we had at Yide hotel ! The hotel is located in original courtyard houses, with the rooms around each courtyard, and the result is absolutely charming. The restaurant area is also very peaceful and relaxing, and breakfast is exceptional with only good quality products. Last, our hosts were extremely welcoming and very helping. We enjoyed a lot our stay and regretted not to extend any longer

Nothing; everything was perfect :)

Wunderschönes Hotel in einem alten Hof in sehr guter Lage, herausragender Service

A journey back in time with modern facilities.

No

Dimora tradizionale, staff molto disponibile, l ristorante buono, vicinanza ai principali punti di interesse.

Poca scelta a colazione

El hotel es precioso, está muy cuidado y limpio. El personal es extremadamente amable y atento. El desayuno es delicioso. La habitación es amplia, silenciosa y el hotel está muy bien situado. Fue una experiencia maravillosa que repetiría sin dudarlo, nos sentimos muy cuidados. Muchas gracias a todo el personal.

Nada.

Excellent accueil ! Petit déjeuner délicieux. Environnement ancien magnifique, hôtel arrangé avec goût et délicatesse.

Exceptional stay in the heart of Pingyao Our stay at the Yide Hotel was outstanding in every aspect. The location is simply perfect—right inside the ancient city, making it easy to explore Pingyao on foot while still enjoying a quiet and authentic atmosphere. What truly sets this hotel apart is the staff. Everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, always ready to help with a smile and making us feel at home from the very first moment. Cleanliness deserves special mention: the room and all common areas were spotless, maintained to an exceptionally high standard that exceeded our expectations. A beautiful traditional setting, impeccable hygiene, and warm hospitality make the Yide Hotel an excellent choice. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Pingyao—we would gladly stay here again.

Nothing

Wonderful place ! traditionnal style hotel amazing and nice staff. We highly recommend this place

De authenticiteit. Wat een prachtige accommodatie!!!

Als ik dan iets moet zeggen, dan is t dat t bed erg hard was. Maar dat ligt ook aan onszelf ;-)

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"

nothing

L accoglienza da parte del personale. L esperienza di dormire in una casa cinese,incredibile.

This must be one of the most beautiful places in the world to stay. Intimate, charming and authentic. The magic is even bigger at night. A dream! Friendly people, nice location, good restaurant.

Nothing. Just know that it’s a very ancient well-preserved building. This means you won’t have all the modern comfort - but the charm really makes up for this. We preferred the Asian breakfast over the western breakfast.

Très bel hotel, proche de tout

Dommage qu’il faille payer un supplément pour avoir du yaourt ou une salade de fruit au petit déjeuner

海外の宿泊者向けに既存の建物を上手く改修して清朝期の風合いを楽しめる設となっています。 レストランもとても清潔でメインストリートの雰囲気でご飯を食べるのが苦手な人にはとても利用する価値があります。 スタッフの皆さんも素晴らしい対応をして頂けました。

El servicio fue espectacular. Nos ayudaron muchísimo

Nous avons aimé la localisation centrale ( à l’intérieur des remparts), le caractère typique de l’établissement, le calme, le restaurant

Nous avons tout apprécié sauf le rideau de douche dans le salle de bain

Very traditional, great location, really friendly and helpful staff. Great food in the restaurant & plenty to eat at breakfast

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.

Amazing staff, very authentic

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.

Classic accommodations and lovely layout that fits the old city center.

Everything was wonderful. The property was well maintained, and the ambience was amazing. Also, staff were always smiling and offering to assist. I felt very welcomed.

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 need The 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.

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel and hope I can make it back. It was in a great location, clean and comfortable. The staff & team was very friendly and helpful. Actually enjoyed meals in the hotel restaurant as well

Staff really amicable and made us feel at home!!! It's inside the Ancient City, so it's walking distance to visiting attractions.

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!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Pingyao and stay at the Yide hotel. It’s a classic Pingyao bankers house and the staff were wonderful. We ate several meals there and recommend that other guests skip the downtown restaurants and eat dinner there. Staying at the Yide is like a magical walk back in time!

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.

Staying at the Yide Hotel was rather magical. if I'm not mistaken I was the only guest the one night I was there and the proprietor could not have been more attentive and solicitous. She upgraded my room without my asking for it since the hotel was otherwise empty; every time I exited or returned she immediately came outside and asked if I needed anything. her ability to speak English so well made my trip easier. It's a special place.

Staff very friendly and helpful.good restaurant and location. Great experience in pingyau.

Beautiful historic building, excellent service, very good restaurant

Stayed before, will stay again. Traditional Chinese hotel with old China style. Food great as usual, our fifth visit in two years. Must be good then!!,

Staying at Yide Hotel in Pingyao was a truly memorable and wonderful experience for me. The hotel is a lovely, Qing Dynasty home that 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. The food at the restaurant is superb, with a nice, big array of regional Chinese dishes, Pingyao specialties, and some western food available too. Above all though, I feel it was the exceptional hospitality and genuine friendliness of the staff that made my stay so great. I would both return myself and recommend Yide Hotel to friends or anybody wanting to visit Pingyao in a heartbeat.

The bed has to be the largest bed I've ever slept in. The covers must weigh 10 pounds. lots of electrical outlets for phone chargers, etc.. turning the bathroom into a shower was interesting. was very clean. bottled water was very much appreciated.

It was around 300 years old and decorated authentically. Absolutely beautiful rooms and courtyards. Delicious dinner in the fabulous restaurant. Staff was wonderful and helpful in every way. Also provided a ride to the train station at a great cost

We love the Yi Di hotel. Staff are lovely and very helpful, rooms are traditional and have been upgraded since our previous stay and the food is fabulous, the best in town. Convenient for everything to see and do in the town but also further afield. Hire a car and driver from reception - visit the locations listed on the chart.

Amazing! Such a neat experience! The gardens were amazing and the resturant on site is so good!

We booked this hotel because our son wanted to experience what it was like in China 300 years ago. The hotel is away from the busy main street but walking distance. The hotel is clean, staff attentive and a dining room is just steps from our room. The bed is very comfortable and the sheets ironed and fresh. I like five star hotels but our son is a Professor and history buff so he did not mind the small room.

For a taste to what living in old China may have been like, this hotel is a good start. The rooms are in original buildings and reflect the ancient age of the place. Traditional, not a modern five star, soulless hotel. Food is exceptional. The same chef has been in residence for 13 years and the meals were first class.

My family and I (2 adults, 3 children) stayed one night in a family suite, which we found to be very spacious and comfortable. Nice historic property. Hotel staff were very friendly and some spoke English. We enjoyed one Chinese style dinner and one Western style Breakfast, both very good.

The hotel is amazing. A very well preserved authentic historical building. The services is top notch. The food at the restaurant is very good too, so we had dinner here on two nights. My only complain is that the wifi is slow at night when all the guests are back at the hotel and using the bandwidth.

Very different and quaint , tiny rooms and v basic bathroom nice restaurant helpful staff v good english spoken

Charming, great atmosphere. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Westerners should be prepared for small bathrooms with just ok showers. Good restaurant on site. Perfect for 1-2 night stay in Pingyao

There are twenty odd rooms set around various courtyards. The traditional courtyard setting offers a unique experience where you feel you have stepped into the past. In our room, a large 'kang' style bed took up most of the space and the rest of the furniture was also traditional - an unforgettable experience. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The restaurant serves good food.

Great placer to stay in Pingyao. Very historic and authentic Chinese courtyard conversion. Closest to the real china we had hoped to see. Exceptional staff and very good catering

The Yide is one of the most wonderful hotels we have stayed at in our travels throughout China. The location is just right - off the beaten path, but close enough to the action. The staff was amazing - cordial and warm, attentive to our needs and pro-active in helping us with our plans. The room was clean, spacious and authentically China. We especially loved the kang bed. We would highly recommend the Yide.

Very old style but clean and neat. Staff all spoke relatively good English and were very helpful.

Friendly, helpful. Historic building, great area, good restaurant too

This hotel was superb. Perfect location, visually very beautiful, the room was spacious enough for 2, the service was impeccable and the food at the restaurant was simply delicious. Wouldn't hesitate to book again or recommend to my family and friends.

Very cool historical hotel to stay at. The rooms are very clean, the attached restuarant was excellent, and service was great. They even helped me arrange a private driver that drove me to Hanging Temples, the Yungang grottoes, and then to Beijing...only wish I had more time to stay in this amazing little town.

Really wonderful hotel with such delicious restaurant!! Food is a little expensive but pretty worth it. And the staff was so helpful to me. They made it so worth it!! I highly highly recommend!!!!

It is a nice hotel but don't expect luxury. They need to find a way to remove the birds from the top, during the night the noises could be annoying

Really enjoyed our stay here! Historic and charming. Very comfortable room. Staff very accommodating and helpful.

We found a peaceful, charming and lovely environment with friendly, warm and helpful staff (somewhat of a rarity in service staff on our travels in China). It is a historical property so it is definitely not very accessible for people with mobility issues (uneven old stones in the courtyards and nearly foot tall thresholds to step over in some areas). We greatly enjoyed our stay.

We loved staying in this courtyard hotel in Pingyao. It is well run and clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The English type breakfast food is a bit primitive but good enough. The Chinese food is excellent and the coffee is delicious.

Staff was helpful, great time and great price.

We stayed four nights, had pleasant meal and breakfast in the hotel, and received great help from the staff at all times, and in particular when organizing trip out of Dunhuang. the hotel offers a service of rentals of cars with a driver, which is very convenient and not expensive.

Staying at the Yide courtyard hotel was like experiencing China a 100 ( or maybe even 600) years ago during the Ming Dynasty. Things are so authentic and rustic it gives you a true flavor of yesteryear. The room was great and the staff was incredibly attentive. The food in the restaurant was excellent and was reasonably priced. This was so much better than the standard boring hotel room that you would normally stay out. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who wanted to truly enjoy hanging out.

This place far exceeded my expectations. The staff were wonderful and the hotel itself is a wonderful taste of the ancient city. The hostel restaurant is the pick of places to eat in the whole of Pingyao, with a delicious menu for breakfast, lunch & dinner. You won't want to eat anywhere else.

I stayed at the hotel between 23 - 25 Nov 2013. The staff has walked all the way out through the alley to welcome us when we arrived. The quality of the service is definitely better than 5 star hotel. The staff checked us in just few minutes and we got a nice room. The condition of the room isn't fantastic but since we wanted to experience the antique style of Inn, it is more than just comfort. The room face a big courtyard and the hotel is conveniently located just 2 minutes walk from the busy West Street!

Had a wonderful stay at the Yide Hotel. The rooms were quaint, warm and welcoming, and the staff were helpful, friendly and courteous and spoke English! We stayed for two nights. I was upgraded from a single to a double room and my parents and their friends were given two adjoining rooms with a nice common area. The beds were very firm but I slept wonderfully for the two nights. The hotel is well located and we were given great directions for where to go by the hotel staff.

Nice Hotel and pleasant stay. Staff are very friendly and the food was fantastic. Have had breakfast and dinner at the restaurant daily.The hotels driver is also a greag asset and he showed me arround out of town and he was very dedicated.

We enjoyed our stay. Staff is very good. Good english skills Food at hotel was good to very good. Traditional bed which I enjoyed. Western toilet. Showerhead and sink separated from toilet by shower curtain. Bathroom very clean I had them arrange car and driver from/to taiyuan airport, I think for 800 RMB. Very good

Very unique Chinese ancient city . A must.I would recomend this hotel as very well organized , plenty of good taste , good attitude from the manager,good restaurant , you feel in the real old China.The bathroom too small for occidental standards but overall a very good experience.

I stayed 2 nights. The staff is helpful and understand and speak English. The hotel retains the character of the courtyard style including the inside of the rooms, which have the traditional kang beds. It is 2-3 blocks from the busy streets with all the shopping/dining/sites that attract tourists which makes it quiet. Nice after a long day of walking around. Room was small and could be too small for a longer stay. I enjoyed it.

This hotel was simply perfect, beautiful inside and outside. Really comfy room, silent at night but only a few mins walk from the middle if town. Also, Julie who worked on the reception desk was really lovely and helped us book last minute train tickets and was always happy to give help and advice. Had a perfect Pingyao experience as a result!

This hotel lived up to its billing. It was an ancient courtyard hotel located in a quiet part of the city. The food was great, even if you don't stay there, I recommend you eat there. In the town all the menus are the same. Everything was above my expectations.

Small hotel in the middle of a fortified city. Staff is awesome. Food is very very good.

It is a traditional courtyard house, with original stone bed - and it was comfortable, the staff was kind and helpful, I recommend it to everybody,

My daughter and I had a great stay at the Yide Hotel. We were met at the train station and ferried quickly to the hotel. On arrival we were ushered to breakfast, in traditional Chinese style and later taken to our room. We were lucky enough to be ungraded to a very large room at no extra cost as it was low season and so very few tourists were in town.We spent a lovely three days in Pingyao despite the temperature being in the minus temperature range for the whole time. Yide Hotel is highly recommended. The staff are very attentive and respectful. Beware about having laundry done there however it is very expensive as they charge per item, even socks, underwear etc. All the same price as larger items.

This hotel is very special. We had visited Yuci and the Qiao family Courtyard on our way to Pingyiao and arriving at the hotel in the evening was quite magical. It was as if we were staying and really experiencing life in a traditional Chinese family house. The staff was attentive, discreet, friendly and informative. The food at the restaurant was very good indeed.

The hotel is very scenic--more than we hoped for--clean and comfortable. The hotel staff was exceptional (Anna, the proprietor, was kind and helpful and Julie, the office manager, took every opportunity to make our stay more pleasant)--often going out of their way to help us. Food was excellent, too. Serving staff spoke limited English but were most anxious to please. We highly recommend the Yide Hotel.

Nice courtyard hotel. The "VIP" room basically has room for two families (it is two separate rooms + one shared "common area", and the Exec. Double are located right next to it. In addition the restaurant (very nice) is located in the same small courtyard => the whole experience was very nice. The restaurant served great (if a bit pricy) breakfast and great dinner. Also helped with booking a tour for 9 people with 10 hour notice, and airport transfer at reasonable prices. All in all a great stay.
