Amazing place to stay. The location is excellent. This is a beautiful traditional Chinese hotel. The staff was very friendly and attentive, specially Alice, ensuring our comfort all the time. Upon our arrival we had a welcome gift. The continental breakfast was good. The hotel also offers you transfer service from the train station. Nice experience.

Location was perfect and it really is a boutique hotel, historical building, very well taken care of. Staff were super nice and welcoming, they gave us gifts and helped us with everything. We only stayed one night but wish we had had more time to spent at the hotel, it was really special.

Although the hotel makes an effort to adapt to Western taste, breakfast could be better.

The hotel is the ancient residence of a Pingyao banker and it is beautiful and atmospheric, especially at night when the lamps are lit. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Alice, the manager, speaks English very well and was very welcoming. She gave us some welcome gifts and gave us tips on how to visit the highlights of the town in a short period of time.

Everything was good

Very nice location inside the city wall and not for the entrance. Very beautiful hotel, with a great traditional courtyard. Staff eager to help. Amazing bed if you like that kind of bed (which is our case).

Nothing

Staying in this hotel was one of the best experiences in China 🇨🇳. The manager did an absolutely fantastic job, taking us from the railway station and providing us with warm welcome. The quality of service in China is one of the best in the world and this place is a role model. We received gifts and bathroom equipment. We were showed how to visit the city and how to manage. The big advantage for this hotel is the place itself. It looks like a historic traditional Chinese style, and it makes the stay an adventure where you can go back in a time. It is a good mix between modern standard of living and traditional climate The last thing worth to mention, I forgot to take my cosmetic and the manager sent it to my hotel in Beijing immediately. About the city, people say that it is a touristic open-air museum and it is not an actual china. It is true, but this is why it is worth visiting this place as it is inspiring and climatic. It is not touristic in terms of Turkish or Egipt scams place, but it is touristic because of its history and buildings that the government decided to keep in unchanged shape. 2 nights would be perfect to go around in rest mode, before going to more crowded and noisy cities. Beware Alipay is necessary to buy tickets online and visit all museums.

All good

Many many thanks to Alice and her team for being so welcoming and for helping me get the tickets to visit Pingyao’s main historical monuments. The place is clean, very quiet and ideally located. A moment out of time in an old house of the imperial era. +++ for the great breakfast!

We had an amazing time at Elsewhere Hotel. The hotel is located in the old city centre of Pingyao, and it is an old building in Chinese style. When we arrived, we had a warm welcome with a cup of tea. The staff is really friendly, and they speak English very well. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a hotel with greater hospitality! The staff helped us with tickets for several attractions in the old city. We really recommend to stay at this hotel!

The Elsewhere hotel was a little gem: it felt like were were staying at one of the ancient buildings we saw around town, while still having the comfort of a modern hotel room. I would recommend accepting the pick up service offered from the train station, since it's quite far from the hotel: we were greeted by Alice, who spoke excellent English and who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, even booking the tickets for the city's attractions with her own phone and account when mine didn't want to cooperate. We went to Ping Yao to experience ancient China, and came away with the experience of a lifetime.

Pingyao, historically, is a very special city. Elsewhere Leifu Hotel is meticulously renovated and decorated, reflecting that special atmosphere of the city. We loved and enjoyed our stay there. and appreciated the great hospitality. Alice and her colleagues were very kind, thoughtful and helpful. Even before our arrival we were provided with great help as some things in China, like buying a train ticket, can be more complicated than anticipated. Thanks again for the lovely stay!
