Oh, and the housekeeper, Qiqi, was exceptionally attentive and helpful. I highly recommend Pingchengfu to everyone visiting Datong."

Wyndham Grand Plaza Royale , Datong Hotels in Datong

Wyndham Grand Plaza Royale , Datong

"The hotel decor is luxurious and the room facilities are excellent. The soundproofing could be better, but it's acceptable. The main issue is the chaotic breakfast. No matter what time you go, there are no seats available, so you have to wait nearby. Every chef preparing food has a terrible attitude. Even if you're polite, they won't speak to you nicely. If you ask for a pancake, they'll act annoyed and tell you to wait, as they're making small crepes. They made a whole plate of small crepes. When I asked if they could make a pancake, they didn't even look up and just said no, still pouring batter to make more small crepes, even though no one was taking them. The noodle and shaved noodle chefs were the same. If something ran out and you asked for a refill, they'd just say, 'Wait.' Despite the seemingly large restaurant, there aren't many edible options. The lamb offal soup with noodles and pancakes tasted good, but you'll have to queue for fried eggs. Both days, I witnessed guests arguing with staff. If I hadn't been traveling with my child, I wouldn't have let them get away with it; it's truly outrageous. Paying 1,400 for a hotel doesn't require amazing service, but couldn't they at least be polite? Also, there are no delivery robots in the hotel. If you order takeout, you have to go down to the entrance of Yungang to pick it up yourself. Apart from the decor, it really doesn't feel like a five-star hotel at all. There are no supermarkets nearby either; you have to walk a long way to buy anything. For those looking for a good hotel, be cautious. If you don't eat breakfast and don't order takeout, it might be an option, otherwise, it's really inconvenient and you'll end up frustrated!"

Da Tong Weidu International Hotel Hotels in Datong

Da Tong Weidu International Hotel

"Initially, I was given a windowless room which was a very old king-sized room. All the buttons on the headboard were broken, and there was only one side with a charging port. It was also very noisy as it was close to the elevator. The shower drain had some issues as well. After I gave feedback, they changed me to a windowless tatami room, which was generally okay. However, there weren't enough tissues, and the toilet paper ran out too quickly. The hotel is about a two-kilometer walk from the ancient city. The value for money is just so-so. No one reminded us about the late-night congee service either."

Datong Hotel Hotels in Datong

Datong Hotel

"Datong Hotel is located south of Datong Ancient City. It's about a 30-minute walk to the ancient city, so a shared bike would be more convenient. The hotel has two buildings; the Welcome Building has older facilities, while the VIP Building is better. The breakfast spread is very rich, offering many local Datong delicacies. The lamb offal noodle soup, in particular, is very authentic and just as good as what you'd find outside."

Datong Jixiashan · SUNYATA Resort Hotel Hotels in Datong

Datong Jixiashan · SUNYATA Resort Hotel

"The room was comfortable and the surroundings were beautiful. The only downside was that the hallways and outdoor areas were too hot when the weather was warm. Breakfast offered a great variety and tasted delicious, and the staff were particularly enthusiastic and welcoming. The front desk service was generally standard, with a few more experienced staff members being quite proactive in assisting guests."

Datong Grand Hotel Hotels in Datong

Datong Grand Hotel

"We booked this hotel for the bath but the bath was too dirty and we couldn't use it. There was no fridge. The shower was also very dirty. Overall everything looked very old and used.the sofa was also too dirty, impossible to sit on it. The carpet was also dirty. We took a non-smoking room but it smelled cigarette in the bathroom. I think this hotel has a huge potential but it needs to be renovated. The bed sheets were clean but it doesn't value the price paid for the room. There was a large variety of options for the breakfast but nothing outstanding."

"The hotel was new and the rooms were clean, but the service was terrible! We arrived at the front desk at night, and there were three or four staff members standing there laughing and joking. After I showed my ID, they told me that someone had already checked me in?! It turned out that after a long discussion, they realized it was because a man with the same name as me had booked the same room type, and they gave him the room I had booked in advance (I had noted that I didn't want the last room and wanted it away from the elevator)?! Such a big hotel?! Don't they even check the information when registering guests? The phone numbers are different, and the genders are different too?! While I was standing at the front desk late at night waiting for them to resolve the issue, the receptionist kept yelling about what to do about the man's booking?! Where was I supposed to stand?! She didn't even apologize, and she was yelling at me about the wrong booking!! Am I supposed to fix her problem? Is this how you train your staff for such a big hotel? And this is supposed to be number one on the luxury list? Is this the level of service you're providing? Don't tell me it's because there are too many guests during the Chinese New Year. If you're so busy during the holidays, how could you make a mistake checking guest information? After making me stand for at least ten minutes, they finally gave me a room. They even gave me a last-minute room near the elevator! When I saw this, I called the front desk, and they said, "Oh, all the rooms you booked are last-minute rooms?" Why didn't you write on the booking page that all City View Suites are last-minute rooms? It felt like the staff didn't know what they were doing; the service was completely disproportionate to the hotel's quality! Oh, and by the way, the laundry room was closed during the New Year period, and they didn't mention this at all when I messaged customer service during booking. 😃 The score is for cleanliness and hotel infrastructure; service is zero."

Garden Hotel Hotels in Datong

Garden Hotel

"The location is fantastic! Turn left out of the hotel and you're right at the Drum Tower, and Huayan Temple is just a short walk away. In the evening, I grabbed a number at the nearby Longjuxiang restaurant, then came back to the hotel to relax. I only headed back over when it was almost our turn, about half an hour later. The Chinese restaurant here is also delicious; the braised pork belly exceeded my expectations. The hotel's garden is highly regarded by locals too. Overall, I'm very satisfied."

"The guesthouse is located in the pedestrian street of Southeast Yi, a quiet place in the bustling city. The interior design is a wabi-sabi style courtyard. All the staff are warm and helpful. The four rooms in the east, west, south, and north offer views of the central garden. There are also private hot springs and in-room massage services. After sightseeing, you can relax in your room with tea. It's a very pleasant stay."

GRAND PAVILION HOTEL ★★★
"Overall it's OK, here are the shortcomings: 1. The electric curtains opened and closed several times for no apparent reason. 2. I called to ask for an extra quilt, but it wasn't delivered. 3. The breakfast coupons were only given for the first day, and they said they would deliver the breakfast coupons for the second day to the room, but they didn't, so we had to get them ourselves. 4. The bathtub didn't have a disposable cover. 5. There was a girl at the front desk who had a bit of a sour face. 6. No souvenirs were given when checking out (other guests did when checking out) The hardware is pretty good, but the shortcomings are as above. I won't come again, I can give it a score of 70."

"The hotel staff were incredibly accommodating. They upgraded us to a family room, and the breakfast spread was fantastic, offering a great mix of local Shanxi specialties and Western options. We wanted to extend our stay in the same room, but it wasn't available. However, the lobby staff went above and beyond to arrange a king-size room for us. While it was a bit pricier, it felt completely worth it. The TV was a little small, but the rewind function was a great bonus, allowing us to catch up on shows."

The breakfast is rich and features local specialties. Excellent value for money, highly recommended for a visit to Datong!"

"The hotel is indeed new and technologically advanced, but I found it a bit far from the main tourist attractions; it looks closer on the map. I had difficulties checking in because no one at reception spoke English, and I didn't like that they put me in a room in the basement, without a nice view from the window."

"Stayed here for 3 days while visiting Datong. The room was spotlessly clean and well-ventilated, with no strange smells. The bedding was soft and comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. There's a convenience store downstairs, and it's a short, direct taxi ride to all the attractions, which saved a lot of time. Overall, it was a very comfortable stay. The front desk staff were all lovely young ladies who provided very attentive service. I highly recommend staying here if you're visiting!"
