Very nice place in the centre of ancient city of Pingyao. Only one people in the hostel speak english: Mr Bob, but all the staff is very friendly. Room clean, little bathroom but with all amenities. Very good food in the hall. Mr Bob helped us also to resolve a problem with air companies. They also make airport service (20$)... More

A good hostel. The antique furniture is a great touch to the rooms. Rooms are clean. There was some construction going on behind the hostel, though it started after we were awake in the morning. Staff were nice. We played a game of foosball with a woman working there. The manager (who speaks English very well) arranged a bus ride... More

To give the sort end of it: As there is, anything inside Pingyao's old city walls is a great location (the whole city is only 1 square mile). This hostel/hotel has clean, fairly nice rooms. The one con is the front desk (very little English unless the [owner?] Bob is around). That said...Lonely Planet #1 recommended Yama Hostel is right... More

We really loved this hostel. You know how when your travelling it's the personalities you meet who really make a place special and help them to stick out in your memory. Well Alice, who works at this hostel (there are 2 buildings to the hostel and she was working in the left one as you look at it) is a... More

Zhengjia hostel was a terrific place to stay in Pingyao; centrally located, all the amenities you'd want (wifi, drinking water, pool table, good food, clean room and bathroom) and best of all is the wonderful and friendly staff, headed up by the general manger, Bob. Bob speaks great English and helped make our stay and further travel so easy by... More

This hostel is really lovely! In the middle of the old town it is perfectly located to explore on a bike. Bob the manager was so helpful and friendly, helped me hire a bike, explained about local customs and even went so far as to change my 12 hour standing train ticket to a hard seat because he didnt want...

The value of this guesthouse cannot be beat, it's a true experience. Beautifully converted in to a hostel with a large courtyard in the middle. Rooms are spotless but the bathroom is tiny and a bit awkward (my only major complaint). Giant comfortable bed, TV (no English channels though), heating and A/C. Decent breakfast and food in the restaurant. Comfortable... More

As mentioned, the Chinese girls at the front desk speak no English. They also laugh at and imitate customers when they try to speak Mandarin to them. And regarding the famous Chinese Hostel Bathroom Sewer Smell: you don't have to put up with it. You just don't. So don't. If every tourist complains, maybe the management at all hostels will... More
