I was very satisfied with my stay in Tian Yuan Kui. I would actually not call it a hostel but it is more a hotel. Do not expect a 5-star hotel but.... The service was very good at the reception and ensured everything was ok. We got a newly decorated room with old-chinese style matching Pingyao. The room itself was... More

We loved everything about this guesthouse. All staff were very welcoming and friendly. The rooms were immaculate- warm, cosy and clean. The food was the best we'd had throughout our whole trip. We enjoyed a relaxing massage in our rooms, very cheap! We had lots of fun learning to make traditional Chinese dumplings and noodles as well. Pingyao is a... More

I was there in 2009 but it's not possible to put this date. Very nice hotel, organized in the old Chinese merchant's house adapted for the hotel purposes, very atmospheric, the character of the interior furnishin is stylish and nice. Friendly service and you can eat well, especially the breakfast, though not cheap but worth paying for the atmosphere of... More

I had another great stay at the Tian Yuan Kui Hotel. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They have decent English so communicating with them was not difficult. Our room was very clean and warm. My wife and I really like to old, hutong feel of the property. The location is extremely convenient so travel around the city is... More

Perfectly located in the centre of this beautiful old city this lodging house is a maze of fascinating courtyards and rooms...resonating with the atmosphere of historic China but with all mod cons. It is immaculately clean and efficiently run by the family owners who are charming . The food is equally interesting and authentic Despite its central location it is... More

Staff is very friendly and very helpful in arranging anything you need in terms of day trip / pickup / bike rental, and our kids had lots of fun with them .... The rooms are clean, very comfortable. The inn is very charming and we have had a marvellous time with our 4 children (aged 4 to 11). Food is... More

We stayed here for 3 nights during our 6 week trip to China. Originally booked into another hotel we were very pleased to be staying at TYK as the room was lovely and the central location was brilliant. It ws very easy for us to walk to all the local sites with the only issue being carrying our luggage through... More

I've stayed here several times. On this most recent visit, I had a good stay without problems, though the staff was a bit less attentive than usual due to being very busy, but still did a fine job. The main benefit of this hotel are the charming courtyards, perhaps more-so than many of the competitors, as this inn features several... More

The TYK guesthouse, smack bang in the middle of Pingyao, is a fantastic place to stay at. The staff (mostly young girls) are a pleasant lot, the food is ok, but the atmosphere and its location is what sets it apart from other guesthouses. The rooms, all set in charming courtyards, have seen an overhaul and feature modern showers and... More
