Very nice hostel. The best on my trip yet. They had good staff and nice people. Very nice family atmosphere. Not to many people. They even let us watch Soccer at 3 o'clock in the night.

This is a really great hostel - fantastic for a few days break (comfy dvd room and free internet) and the staff are so nice! Make sure to book an extra night if you need a break!

Excellent location in the heart of Pingyao. Staff extremely helpful and cheery. Would highly recommend this hostel. BIG double bed off a pretty courtyard was an added bonus. Also appreciated the free pick-up from the train station.
