I booked this hotel because it won Traveller's Choice for 2013 for B&Bs and Inns in Pingyao and we were not disappointed. Pingyao is a World Heritage listed preserved ancient walled city of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Pingyao Yide Hotel is a restored Courtyard similar to the many courtyards on display throughout the town. It is a unique experience... More

What a pretty place to stay. Beautiful courtyards and delightful rooms in a traditional style. The brick bed and thin mattress were actually quite comfortable. The only thing wrong with the bathroom was the water pressure which was pitiful. The restaurant however was very good indeed, really nice food, very friendly and helpful staff.

We booked this hotel directly with Anna, via email, and got a better deal than on any of the websites. The hotel is a peaceful oasis, it's so quiet. We had a room just off a small courtyard, beside the restaurant but never heard any noise from people coming or going. The stone features are lovely, we had a room... More

This lovely gem of a hotel is a block and a half off the busy main street of Pingyao, and we were so glad. It was always a delight to return to the Yide's peaceful atmosphere after a day out and about in the crowded streets, while at night all was quiet and still, unless someone was returning late from...

I don't think I've ever stayed in a hotel before that I felt like never leaving! A friend and I recently stayed at the Yide Hotel in Pingyao. Once comfortably situated, we ate almost every meal there. That is a first for me since I usually consider eating out and finding new restaurants part of the journey. The room was... More

We arrived at 6am in the night train from Datong. The hotel sent a complimentary tuktuk to pick us up. We had book a day-room because we had an evening flight from Taiyuan: they gave us a special offer for a daytime-stay. When we arrived, our room was not ready due to unexpected high occupancy the night after, but we... More

We stayed for 3 nights at this lovely guesthouse in Pingyao--and we could not have been happier with our choice! The staff is just great--kind, helpful and very friendly. We were very happy with our room, located in a quite courtyard. It felt very authentic, down the the huge kang bed. It was spotlessly clean! We enjoyed the nice sitting... More

This is one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in in China. Been there 3 times now & will continue to recommend it. The single room in the watchtower is just amazing . Room 26 is a double in the other tower . The suites are just fabulous. Quiet, beautiful & spotlessly clean. Only *negative things: many people arrive on... More

Yide hotel is located on one of the side streets from the Xidajie in Pingyao well inside the city wall. We came to Pingyao with train in the morning and the hotel arranged a pickup from the train station and checked in at once. The hotel itself is quite small with a couple of small traditional courtyards - it looks... More
