The only pros of the hostel is the location. It's next to the Yamen (ancient police station and court). They charged us RMB 10 for key deposit, which is the lowest I've seen in China. (Usually RMB 50 to 100). However, on the night before we would be leaving pingyao on a 7AM train, we asked for refund of our... More

The yard and the room are very nice which is the best of this hotel. Arrived at 3:30pm and were very tired after 9 hours' trip, but we had to wait beceuse the room's not ready. When the girl told us the room's ready and we finally find the room by ourselves, the cleaner's still making beds for us. And... More

Stayed at the Zhengjia Garden Hotel which is the left of 2 buildings making up this hotel/hostel. The manager Mr Zhao, who speaks English, was very friendly and helpful and constantly checked to make sure we were having a pleasant stay. We were upgraded to a suite and offered free chinese breakfasts. On our last morning, thinking we had grown... More

The hostel is located nearer to the South Gate. Although is a little far from the train station, you can easily get a taxi which cost about 5RMB. The staff are helpful, in particularly the owner who will say hi to you every time he see you. He offer breakfast and free transport to the train station too. Its a... More

Noisy rooms at streetside. The staff was not very helpfull and friendly. We would not recommend others to go there. Think there are better places to stay in ancient city of pingyao. The bathrooms for dorms are outside the building and not cleaned in the two days that we stayed here. There are only two toilets and 3 showers per... More

The hostel is near to the South Gate, and was a really good courtyard hostel. The staff were friendly and helpful and the hostel owner arranged free pickup for us from the station at half 2 in the morning. Additionally, they were really helpful in booking tickets to X'ian, which we managed to organise for the next day. The owner... More

The hostel (includes a courtyard and several ancient buildings of local architectural style) has good location - around the shopping street but not very noisy. The cleanliness of the bed is acceptable. Unfortunately, the drainage in my bathroom did not work. Please choose the room in the first floor. My room in the second floor is narrow. The furnitures and... More

We were in a famous hostel in Pingyao for one night but the room was a bit shabby. However when we got in to see the rooms in Zheng Jia Hotel we could not believe our eyes. Cheaper and much much better and so we changed to this hotel. It has also friendly staff plus a very good breakfast, which... More

Remeber not to stay longer than one day at this City, as there is nothing much to see beside the attractions enlosed by the walls. The Hostel is located just a little bit off the main street. A two minute walk will take you to a local KFC restaurant that serves very fresh meals for a quarter of the KFC's... More
