Hotels in Datong Museum/Datong Sports Center, Datong

The location of the hotel is good, easy access from main road to get big bags to it and also to go around the ancient city both during day and night time to enjoy all the landmarks. Missing signages make it a bit difficult to find the hotel at first. Also, while we had paid for a bigger rooms the room barely had walking space. It had no luggage storage space or cabinet. The washroom and room floor was not cleaned. Staff on the other hand are very friendly and willing to help with all the questions - on local travel, places to see, vegetarian food, etc. They find a way to help to the best. All in all was a good experience and would have been better with some adjustments.

The front desk service directly adds full marks! The reception staff smiled kindly and worked efficiently. I learned that we were tourists and recommended local niche attractions intimately. There was no perfunctory neglect throughout the whole process, the hotel environment was quiet and luxurious, the health was impeccable, and it was too comfortable to travel here!

On my trip to Datong, I booked a stay at the Howard Johnson Jindi Plaza Datong, located right by the ancient city, through Trip.com. It's rated 5 stars online, and it truly lives up to the hype! As soon as I checked in, I was upgraded for free to a deluxe business suite. It was my first time seeing a suite with a dining table big enough to host over 10 friends and family. After one night, I switched back to my originally booked business king room. The king room was also incredibly comfortable, measuring a spacious 62 square meters. Opening the curtains revealed views of Datong's streets. If you walk to the end of the corridor, you can even see a panoramic view of the ancient city of Datong. What truly stands out is the fantastic Chinese restaurant at this 5-star hotel. I stayed in Datong for three days, and除了one lunch I had in Hunyuan Ancient City, all my other five lunches and dinners were enjoyed at the hotel's Chinese restaurant. Here, a bowl of Shanxi's specialty knife-cut noodles is only 6 RMB, and a bowl of cold noodles, even tastier than those in Hunyuan, is just 3 RMB. You can order half portions of shumai, and during the first dog days of summer, they even had dumplings. I tried the braised deer tendon with scallions, something I'd never had before, and it was superb, as were the husband and wife lung slices and jellyfish salad – perfect with drinks. Dining here is delicious and affordable. If you top up 200 RMB, you even get a complimentary plate of Shanxi's signature 'guoyourou' (fried pork in sauce). A huge shout-out also goes to the restaurant staff. They are warm, thoughtful, and genuinely care for guests, even advising against ordering too much, ensuring just the right amount! In summary, I give a 5-star rating to both the hotel and the F&B department. The last photo is of the hotel's breakfast, which was also excellent. The hotel has two breakfast restaurants, so even with many guests, it never feels crowded!

Traveling to Datong with kids, I chose the Hampton by Hilton just outside the ancient city. The hotel's surroundings are great, with a park and a lake, and it's not far from the ancient city, about a 20-minute drive. The room was very clean, with a king bed and a sofa bed, perfect for a family trip. The 'Dao Xiao Mian' (knife-cut noodles) and lamb offal at breakfast were both delicious. The front desk service was warm and attentive, and they even gave us a bottle of aged vinegar as a gift!

The hotel occupies two floors, the ninth and tenth, and the rooms are spacious. All facilities are almost brand new. The entire room is smart home; the bathroom nightlight is sensor-activated, only illuminating when you enter the bathroom at night, so the light won't disturb your partner's sleep. The mattress is also very comfortable and supportive. I slept soundly and felt refreshed. The room's cleanliness and soundproofing are excellent. I'm seventy years old and very sensitive to noise; even the slightest sound will wake me up, but I slept very comfortably here, even more comfortably than at home. The young lady at the hotel reception was incredibly helpful and enthusiastic. She assisted us with various issues and enthusiastically introduced us to different restaurants and attractions in Datong. She helped us integrate into the local life as soon as we arrived in the city. My partner said that she alone would make it worthwhile to come back to Datong again. This hotel will be my only choice for my next trip.

The room was spotless, the sheets and duvet cover felt wonderful, and the smart toilet was a huge plus – so warm and cozy in winter! The double-glazed windows provided excellent soundproofing; I couldn't hear anything from outside at night and slept like a log. The young man at the front desk was incredibly helpful; he offered to help me with my large suitcase and reminded me to dress warmly as the temperature difference between day and night is significant in Datong. The only minor drawback was the lack of USB ports in the room, so you'll have to bring your own charger. But the value for money is unbeatable. For just a few dozen yuan more, you get this quality – a steal! I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Datong. Trust me, go for it!

I saw the high rating of this hotel on Ctrip, so I booked it casually. But this hotel really surprised me. The room, bedding, bathroom and other hardware are absolutely star-rated and of first-class quality. The owner is very attentive. The design of the hotel's lobby corridor and entrance hall pays great attention to details. The dining is pleasant. The hotel's service team is also very good. The front desk and security are also very enthusiastic. The parking lot is large enough. It is suitable for self-driving tours. The location is also very good. It is close to the ancient city. There are many restaurants for Datong locals nearby. This hotel has such good quality. The price is also reasonable. Highly recommended.

It feels that the hotel is too new, the formaldehyde smell is a bit obvious, and then the shower head button in the bathroom is easy to bounce back when pressed

After a tiring journey exploring Datong's ancient city and grottoes, I was so glad I chose the Holiday Inn Datong. It provided a wonderfully comfortable sanctuary for my trip. The hotel's location is perfect—peaceful yet centrally located. The lush greenery in the courtyard immediately calmed my frazzled nerves, and the soft lighting in the public areas created a tranquil atmosphere; there was no noise or chaos, just a sense of calm the moment I stepped inside. What impressed me most was the impeccable cleanliness. The housekeeping wasn't just superficial; the bedding was fluffy and odorless, the shower glass and drain edges were spotless, and the entire room was free from any dampness or dust. The room facilities were new and smart, hot water was instantaneous, the mattress was perfectly comfortable, and the blackout curtains effectively blocked out external noise, ensuring a solid night's sleep after a long day. The staff had just the right amount of attentiveness – never intrusive, but always quick and efficient in responding to any requests. They even thoughtfully shared some local, lesser-known food recommendations. From the environment and facilities to the cleanliness and service, every detail showed genuine care. It wasn't just a one-night stay; it was a haven that healed my travel fatigue. When I return to Datong, this will definitely be my top choice again.
