Stayed in one of the six-bed dorms for two nights in May. Free pickup was there at the train station as promised. From there, met Robert, who took very good care of me (and as far as I could tell, everyone else, so sad to hear about the poor service reviews since my stay). And as everyone says, the building...

Very cheap hostel, drinks and food also cheap and tasty. Though don't order food if you want to get it in a hurry! It is also one of the few places in town that is heated, so you don't have to keep your coat on to have a drink in their bar/lounge area. The free pool table and internet connection... More

The environment of this hostel is excellent, very well located in the old Pingyao and the building is very beautiful. Rooms are good, bathroom ok, bad smell but water was hot. But we have been very disappointed by the service of this hostel. The week-end we were there staff were very unfriendly and lazy, any request seems to bother them.... More

The decor... More

The location of the hostel is excellent, right next to the old governors residence in the centre of town. The place was originally built for a visit by the Emperor which never actually came to fruition. Unfortunately when we were staying some renovations were being completed so the place was all a bit dusty and the main restaurant / lounge... More

it's nice place, but it because of the very cold here, so I think the service of this place is not so good. The hot shower have a limit time usage, and staffs don't have a lot knowledge about the place around there (although thery will have a good english staff)

We stayed in a double room with ensuite. Key things for me were: - The rooms are all off courtyards, and are really very attractive and atmospheric. Quite unique in character, and a great Pingyao experience - The location is good, within the busy streets of old Pingyao - The restaurant is one of the "Travellers Cafe" chain which can... More
