"Pros: 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! Cons: 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." ~Payitforward
