5-Star Hotels in Shanxi, China

Great location, excellent environment, facilities, and service. It's really convenient for getting around. You can even visit Chunyang Palace for free just by showing your hotel room key! Plus, the price was right. Next time I'm in Taiyuan, I'll definitely choose Shanxi Grand Hotel again!

This was my second stay at Jianguo Hotel Yungang, and it was quite satisfying. The front desk saw my room preferences (non-smoking, quiet) and provided a room that met my expectations, which was great! The breakfast selection was as plentiful as ever. This time, there were a lot of guests, so they opened up several additional dining areas. Even with more people getting food, the supply was very timely. The late-night congee service was also a thoughtful touch; Xiao Zhang and Xiao Hu, who were in charge, were diligent and quick, refilling items promptly. When they had a free moment, they even chatted with guests, which felt very warm and welcoming. On the last day, before checking out, I noticed they were paving asphalt and filling potholes outside the entrance. This was tough for the several couples getting married that day – it was hard for cars to get in, and the newlyweds had to get out of their cars and enter the hotel while enduring the black smoke from the asphalt. I hope the hotel can consider local customs and feelings, and schedule such construction for a different time. Before I left, I noticed a super-sized croissant on the in-room dining menu, which piqued my interest. It looked like sliced hua mo (steamed flower bun). I'll have to see the real thing next time, haha!

2026, Taiyuan, here I come! Checking in to a landmark hotel in Taiyuan, with German quality you can always trust. High-floor scenic room, 55 square meters, with large floor-to-ceiling windows offering stunning views. Right next to Tianmei Xintiandi, a one-stop shop for dining, entertainment, and shopping – incredibly convenient! Even better with my Trip.com membership.

Overall, it was a great stay. The hotel has a beautiful environment, and the rooms are quite spacious and well-equipped, and very clean. It's very convenient to drive to Mount Wutai from here. They even have an NIO charging station on-site (though the electricity fee is a bit pricey). The staff were attentive and polite, so a full five stars there. The only minor drawback is the gym; it's a bit sparse. There aren't any machines for back and core workouts, though they do have a good set of dumbbells.

The room is quite satisfactory. The location is good. The service staff is very friendly. The front office manager is very enthusiastic. The guest relations director Jin Xiaoyu. Shi Haixing, the concierge, Wang Hongyao, the environment is very good, I will come again next time

This was my second stay, and once again, the room was spotless and tidy. The service was excellent, the location was convenient, and it offered great value for money. My stay was fantastic, and I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time. A big thank you to the front desk and restaurant staff, who were all incredibly warm and attentive!

Before booking, I was most concerned about the air conditioning, and I finally got to experience it firsthand. Datong's heating supply runs until April 15th, a full month later than Tianjin. During the heating period, the hotel's air conditioning only provides heat, not cool air. So, contrary to what many online reviews suggested, I couldn't use the AC to cool the room and had to rely on opening the windows to alleviate the heat. However, I couldn't keep the windows open while sleeping, which left me feeling very dry and uncomfortable when I woke up. The first night of my stay was the second day of the Qingming holiday. When I showered that evening, the water pressure from the showerhead was pitifully low, so I had to make do with the handheld spray. Thankfully, the bathtub's water temperature was reliable. By the second night, with a drop in occupancy, both the breakfast service and the shower pressure were much better. The swimming pool is open from 6 AM to 9 PM. I feel it opens too early and closes too early. Wouldn't 8 AM to 11 PM be better? The hotel lobby is very spacious. Since Fenlin Pavilion is located in the Wyndham lobby, the Yungang side actually feels more upscale and grand. Fenlin Pavilion stops issuing numbers before 7:30 PM and closes at 9 PM. For lunch, they're open until 2 PM. Commercial facilities in Datong really aren't that competitive. There's no sliding door between the room's bathtub and the bed, so privacy is nonexistent. The omnipresent crystal chandeliers and mirrors give off a somewhat 'Middle Eastern prince' vibe. The sensor-activated nightlights near the floor get a hundred stars – they're incredibly convenient for midnight bathroom trips. Even a coffee machine and a refrigerator are provided. The breakfast's 'dao xiao mian' (knife-cut noodles) are a specialty, and the coffee is good. However, the dessert selection is meager, with only one or two options.

The newly opened hotel is at the south gate of the Qimenguan Scenic Area. The magnificent city building is in the city building, quiet and comfortable. The three families live together. The living room and terrace are big enough. Children play in the pool and adults chat while drinking tea. It is suitable for holiday travel. You can also climb the city tower to look at it, a great experience. Warm service, shuttle bus transfer. It is worth brushing again.

This hotel is almost next to the airport terminal, super convenient for early morning flight. It is clean and service is excellent. Manager on duty - Han, Yueliu helped arrange a room in the main buidling, which is what I preferred. Everything went well. Will stay here again next time when I come back.

We had a very pleasant stay in this hotel. The staff members were very helpful and attentive. Breakfast was also very good! Our room was comfy and spacious, the only problem we had with it was that it felt too hot for us even with the aircon/heating off and right before we left we could feel some bad smell coming from the pipes. We didn't report this as we were leaving but we're sure the hotel would have helped and sorted this for us (they offered changing our room when we said it was too hot for us, for example). The location of the hotel was very useful to explore the ancient city and the hotel helped us book a private car to see the grottoes and hanging temple - great experience! We'd consider staying here again if/when we visit Dating again. :)
