Yide Hotel
Great hotel! The building complex itself is one of the most beautiful in Pingyao. Tucked away on a quiet corner near the main street. Really convenient car transfer from the train station. Good restaurant.

Elsewhere Boutique Hotel Inn North Street
We were very well accommodated at Elsewhere Boutique Hotel. They provided us a map and mapped out a route for us to follow to get the most out of the ancient city. They heated the room well while we were out so we came back to a nice warm room. The room was tidy and clean.
