WHAT WE GOT: Single room in rear annex with A/C, ensuite WC, hot water shower, Western toilet, wi-fi, free railway pickup, TV. PROs: Fun place to stay with a great travel community vibe (we reunited a couple of times with travelers we had met on other legs of our journey). Harmony is in the heart of Pingyao ancient city and... More

We actually only stayed one day at the guesthouse because we arrived in Pingyao early in the morning and we leaving again by train that night. We only wanted a place to freshen up and leave our bags. Perhaps because we were only staying a day we did not have the experience of some of the other people who reviewed... More

Perhaps suffering from being written up in the lonely planet, this guesthouse doesn't live up to the hype and charges a little more than other similar or better nearby places. I found them to be a little bit pushy with both the food and the tours, which were marked up higher than other places. The rooms were cute, though not... More

We stayed in the guesthouse for 2 nights in late October. The central location of this guesthouse cannot be beat. The owners are friendly and helpful and have an amazing command of English. Since we don’t speak or read a word of Chinese, we needed their help and they were gracious and informative. Pingyao is historic, quaint and fun. We... More

However we got a strong sense of insincere service both by the owner and her staff- we found hem to be only truly interested in selling you a tour or a very inflatedly priced... More

Room not ready at midday as promised - I was told the last guest had just checked out and the room would be the first one cleaned at 3pm. I returned at 4pm to find the room still not cleaned. Two women then hurriedly came up to the room, emptied the bin, remade the bed with the sheets from the... More

I did choose this place because it had a recommendation in Lonely Planet and I am very glad that I did. The courtyard style room with a huge bed and softer mattress was great. The ensuite bathroom was OK. The rate for me was 180 RMB per night and I stayed 4 nights.I think this rate was the best value... More

Stayed here for 4 nights in August 2012. Arrived to Pingyao very early in the morning. The hostel paid the transportation to the Hostel, so I decided to go and try the bicycle rickshaw. It was lots of fun and the views were great : the sunrise and the old empty streets. The dorm room I was given wasn't in... More
