Yundingxuan Hotel

The ancient city Pingyao and the Yundingxuan hotel blowed our mind. The hotel provide free pickup from the train station. We took the high speed train arrived at Pingyaocheng station which is around 15 minutes away from the ancient city. When you enter the city wall gate, you will be amazed of the narrow streets and cobblestone road. Picked Yundingxuan hotel because it was closed to the North gate so If the taxi was to dropped us off it’ll be a short walk but the driver dropped us off near the hotel because cars are not allowed within the main streets. The hotel is closed to 200 years old and have characteristics of the Ming and Qing dynasties. I was born in Vietnam, With roots to China but raised up in the US since I was 7 years old. I’ve seen Chinese movies but nothing will prepare you to the hotel and the ancient city. I was surprised how big the hotel complex was. All the staff were very nice, the main host spoke English, and the breakfasts were traditional Chinese breakfast. We stayed two nights and we felt safe throughout our visit. My wife and daughter appreciated the three hotel cats and all the felines throughout the city. I’m sure the other hotels are fantastic and will give your a unique experience but I can vouch for Yundingxuan. Just be prepared to get out your comfort zone but be amazed by the visual and taste of Pingyao Ancient City.

If you want to explore the ancient town of Pingyao, then this hotel is fantastic. It's 15mins away from the high speed railway. They pick up and drop out off outside the city. With the covid regulations in place, the hotel supported me through the process and helped me gain entry into the city. I was then collected and driven to the hotel. Check-in was smooth and the lady helped me to book tickets for the Pingyao theatre show at the same time. I received a free upgrade from a double room to a suite. All in all, a fantastic holiday, and a great experience.

Very helpful staff, beautiful court yards!

雲鼎軒地理位置很方便，走到下西門5分鐘就可以打車，走路去主要的景點也就15分鐘以內。提前添加了管家的微信，服務很熱情，會主動幫我聯繫去王家大院的司機，還免費升級了房間。本來沒想要旅拍，看到五進院的格局非常適合，而且還建議我約拍時間，非常幸運地拍到了白天和夜晚的照片。早餐尤其豐富特別是有三個蔬菜小炒，各個方面都很滿意。

酒店位置特別方便，去哪都很方便，周圍街區繁華，不像有的客棧很偏僻。酒店自身就是個景點，環境和服務都很好。 淡季人不多，在雲鼎軒度過愜意自在的假期再好不過了！

整個院子古色古香，很有古城情調。我們一家住的房間比較靠裏，兩張床也很大，睡起來也舒服。前台服務也很好，由於上一房客退房較晚，我們把行李放在前台就去逛古城了。下次來古城，還要訂這裏。
