Location is perfect: in old town of Pingyao, but just a street away from the crowded part (and probably noisy part), so it is quiet at night in this hotel. So the location is perfect: close enough (5 min walk) to all the things to see, and far enough to have no noise from it. Breakfast is rather local breakfast, not adapted to Western tourists, but the choice is OK. Restaurant: food choice is good and well prepared, wine choice too. One thing is not so good: we paid our room, and a deposit. When we went for dinner, we had to pay immediately after dinner, and their machine for Visa cards didn't work, so I had to go outisde, to the reception immediately, to pay for the dinner (it was raining, I had to go through the rain, our bottle of wine was not finished yet). Why couldn't they wait for payment and add this restaurant bill to our hotelbill (not customer friendly and it made me feel that they didn't trust us at all, deposit was more than the restaurant bill, and the room was paid by checking inn). Rooms are small, very small, but it is in a courtyard, which is a typical house from Pingyao, and that is very beautiful.
