Xihe Academy Mansion

C'était la première fois que je séjournais dans la vieille ville de Pingyao. J'ai vraiment aimé ce B&B. Avant même de m'enregistrer, j'ai été contacté par téléphone et on m'a demandé à quelle heure nous arriverions et quelles étaient nos préférences. Nous préparions la chambre à l'avance et Récupérez-les à l'entrée de la ville antique. Nous aiderions à les renvoyer à l'hôtel après notre arrivée. Dans la chambre, il y avait un panier de fruits et des collations préparés à mon arrivée dans la chambre. J'ai été très surpris. Le La chambre était très grande, le Kang était grand et très confortable. Le panier du petit-déjeuner était exquis et avait très bon goût. J'ai également offert un souvenir après le départ. Les enfants ont adoré les livres donnés. ! Séjour recommandé

A Step Back in Time: A Flawless Stay at a Historic Pingyao Retreat Our stay at this exceptional traditional hotel in Pingyao was nothing short of magical. Originally an academy, the property has been beautifully restored and transformed into a serene boutique hotel that immerses you in Chinese history and culture without compromising comfort. Location Perfectly situated in a quiet area away from the crowds of the main tourist sites, the hotel offered a peaceful sanctuary after long days of exploring. The silence and calm added to the authenticity of the experience, as if we had truly stepped into another era. Design & Atmosphere The preservation of the original architecture and layout of the academy was breathtaking. Every detail of the hotel—from the wooden beams to the stone pathways—exuded historical charm. The sense of place was so strong that it felt like we were emperors transported back in time. Room We stayed in the Shuyuan Canopy Bed Suite, which was immaculate and exquisitely designed. The amenities were thoughtfully curated, blending modern convenience with traditional elegance. The canopy bed was a highlight, evoking a luxurious, regal atmosphere. We were particularly touched by the high-quality tea sets provided, which allowed us to enjoy our own private tea time in the comfort of the room. Service From the moment we arrived, the staff were exceptional—always smiling, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. Free transportation from the train station was a seamless and much-appreciated touch that set the tone for the rest of our stay. Facilities Every facility was carefully maintained and contributed to the overall harmony of the space. The hotel’s attention to detail extended to every corner, making for a deeply enriching and relaxing experience. Breakfast The only area with room for improvement was the breakfast. Served in a traditional 9-bowl box, it lacked variety and felt more like a school meal than a luxury experience. We would have loved more choices and the ability to select our dishes instead of receiving a pre-chosen set. With an upgraded breakfast service, this hotel would truly be flawless. Final Thoughts This stay was one of the most unique and memorable travel experiences we've ever had. A perfect blend of heritage, hospitality, and comfort. We would return in a heartbeat—and next time, hopefully with a breakfast experience to match the rest of the hotel’s excellence.

Everything was great! The place, the structure, and the people… everyone was so kind and caring. We really loved our stay here! Thank you!!

We are from overseas and would like to commend that the service is impeccable. They offer pickup and drop off at the high speed rail station. We also went during winter and the room was very warm. No complaints about this hotel and definitely recommend it!

I had a great stay at this hotel located in the ancient city of Pingyao. The hotel is an old house, which has been beautifully redecorated. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable with all the amenities we needed. The breakfast was also delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially the manager who kindly upgraded my room after my original room had an electrical issue. Highly recommend this hotel!
