Staying at Yide Hotel in Pingyao was a truly memorable and wonderful experience for me. The hotel is a lovely, Qing Dynasty home that has been brilliantly refurbished and equipped with modern hotel amenities (e.g air conditioning, modern toilets and showers, etc) in a manner that makes it extremely comfortable and convenient, yet without lessening the authentic, old feel which makes it so appealing.
The food at the restaurant is superb, with a nice, big array of regional Chinese dishes, Pingyao specialties, and some western food available too.
Above all though, I feel it was the exceptional hospitality and genuine friendliness of the staff that made my stay so great. I would both return myself and recommend Yide Hotel to friends or anybody wanting to visit Pingyao in a heartbeat.
