I loved this hostel, the owner is too friendly, always with the best smile. The room is super nice and clean, the truth is one of the best I've ever been to. I had the opportunity to eat several times in this hostel and the food was delicious, not to mention the Chinese breakfasts. Thanks for all đ

It's a wonderful new hostel; I loved it in every way. Starting with the friendliness of the owner and staff, they always offered me something to eat without me even having to ask. Likewise, when I needed information about the city, they went out of their way to find it for me if they didn't know it.
It's also very affordable, but you don't compromise on quality. It's well worth it; the hostel's quality is top-notch.
The location is perfect, right next to the city walls, and there are restaurants, supermarkets, and other amenities nearby.
The hostel is very spacious, clean, and comfortable. I extended my stay by several days to explore the city and surrounding areas at my own pace. The beds are large, with good lighting, power outlets, shelves, and privacy (keeping in mind that it's a hostel and you share a room). The bathrooms and showers are also spacious and clean. There are also large, free lockers for storing your belongings.
The hostel also has a cinema.
Thank you so much for everything.

Very nice hotel inside the walls of the Ancient City. Owners didn't speak English but they managed to communicate with translator tools, they picked me and take me back to train station and provided me with good advise on places to visit. Room was warm and clean and decoration was really nice. Thanks so much

The third night of staying, the traffic is more convenient to go back and forth, sometimes the bus travel, sometimes sharing bicycles, the next two nights are a few yuan higher than the first night, I don't know why, it is not a weekend. Passengers who want quiet are preferred.
The room is clean and hygienic, with all facilities available. The surrounding environment is good, very close to the scenic spots, you can go there on foot. There are many restaurants around, making it convenient to eat.
Special praise is given to several front desk staff at the hotel. Their service is warm and thoughtful, and they answer all questions. Room service staff are attentive.

This hotel is amazing! While not near a subway station, it's easily accessible by taxi and close to restaurants and shopping. The room was clean and bright, the bedding was comfortable, and the soundproofing was excellent, allowing for a good sleep. The front desk service was friendly, and the breakfast was varied and delicious. Excellent value for money, I'll definitely be back!

Fantastic lodging. Best value I have had in dozens of stays. Clean, classy and large room with huge window to the main streets. Nice little hip cafe in the same hallway on the same floor. Nice bathroom, great bed.
The location is also fine, even though it is a kilometer or so to the city walls. The naming Old town guesthouse isnât much correct, but it doesnât matter for the overall impression of this hotel.

The hotel is at the heart of pedestrian street of the night market. If you enjoy checking out the night market, this hotel is perfectly located.
My room was facing the street/night market, it is not noisy if window is closed. And the street becomes quiet after 11pm. It was all perfect for me.

Facilities: Very new, with foam hand soap
Hygiene: Very neat and clean, but it has a bit of smell due to the new decoration
Environment: The surrounding environment is quite noisy, but the windows of the B&B are double-layered, which is basically not affected by the inside, but not so clear by the road, where large trucks pass by
Service: When I went there, they took the initiative to help upgrade the room type, arranged parking in the backyard, and introduced that there is a place to eat next to it, but you have to drive out to have breakfast, the B&B does not have breakfast

Due to a last-minute change of plans, I arrived in Pingyao Ancient City after 5 PM. Since it was the off-season, hotels in the ancient city were easy to book and quite affordable. As cars can only park in the parking lot outside the ancient city, I called the guesthouse upon arrival, and the owner came to pick me up on an electric scooter. The owner was incredibly welcoming. After checking in, he gave me a map and showed me how to explore the ancient city.
The guesthouse is a traditional 'one-entry' courtyard, with wooden doors and windows. The room's decor isn't over-the-top, and it features a 'kang' (heated brick bed), which is a unique touch. Toiletries and towels are disposable, and the room has both underfloor heating and air conditioning, so warmth wasn't an issue at all.

GGuest UserWe stayed at thos lovely hotel. Lovingly restored by the current owner Mr Wang. He is the 6th generation owner of the property.
Until 10 years ago it was a derelict and dilapidated building. He poured money, time, blood, sweat and tears to restore it
And it does feel and look like a traditional house.
You feel you are going back in time.
Firstly the customer service is way beyond the call of duty. Its so good, i would recommend staying with mr Wang at whatever hotel he runs.
He picked us at the Lower East Gate, and brought us to the hotel, then took nearly half an hour to explain in great detail where we need to visit, whether the sights be in the city or outside the city.
Some of his suggestions, not on the tour books were very good . For example he suggested 3 restaurants, and we avoided them thinking he was getting a kickback.on our 4th and last day we tried restaurant no 2 of his. And it was good , the food and service were good. The prices were average with other restaurants and we got a 10% discount being the hotel's guests. And remember we had eaten 10 meals by the time we came to his suggestions.
Another suggestion of Mr Wang was Ma family home - also a very good tip from him.
Everytime we had a request or question he always responded with enthusiasm.
On our last day we checked out at 4am and he still took us to the pick up point at that ungodly hour.
Yep Mr and Mrs Wang's customer service is just first class.
The room was large, queen deluxe double, and the furnishings were traditional chinese furniture made of Rosewood. Very Expensive furniture for a hotel room. Shower worked well and was hot. However be aware its chinese style wet floor system ie there is no shower curtain between the shower and a small part of the bathroom does get wet if youare not careful. MR Wang said it will be one his improvement on his priority list. Hopefully by the time you booked the problem will have been resolved
The hotel is very close to the main streets. About 5 min walk.
The city of pingyao is worth visiting, it is one of the very walled cities left in China, with its old buildings intact and people still living it. All the city walls are also intact. Magnificent at night.
MMethilanI spent nearly a week at Datong Milan/Magnolia Hotel (Dai Residence branch) and it was a very pleasant and enjoyable stay
Location:
- Nestled a quieter part of the ancient city, that provided a peaceful retreat after each day of exploring.
- 10 minutes to some of the attractions of the old town
- 15-20 minute walk to the popular restaurants and more attractions
- 30 minute walk to Huayan Temple and its nearby street markets.
I'm always happy to walk but if needed, I could always use DiDi to take me around.
Falling asleep without street noise is something I like. There is a bit of building work going nearby, which is happening all over Datong Ancient City, but nothing too major.
Nearby is the Ancient City's wall, but walk past that and you can see the locals dance in the morning in the park or walk along the canal/moat in the evening.
Room:
The room was surprisingly spacious, offering plenty of room to spread out and relax, a welcome change from cramped city accommodations. The staircase is a bit narrow, so those with lots of big luggage might struggle (no lift)
Importantly, it was very clean and well equipped. I especially liked the Chinese tea ceremony set!
Service:
- Despite a noticeable language barrier, everyone went above and beyond with smiles, helpful gestures, and clear efforts to communicate.
- Especially the manager, who told me about local food to try, things to do and asked if I needed anything. She noticed that I was bringing back leftovers from the restaurant, and bottled drinks from the shops, and said I could use the fridge.
- I can't speak Chinese so when the delivery driver came to drop off my order, the staff will take it from the reception and bring it to me.
- Unfortunately, breakfast isn't available here
- Drinking water topped up. Humidifier and mosquito repellent were provided when needed.
I will not hesitate to book here again on my next visit and I highly recommend this hotel for anyone seeking comfort and genuine warmth in Datong!

GGuest UserI discovered this place through a search on DeepSeek.
1. When traveling with children, hygiene is always our top concern, and this place exceeded expectations. Definitely a thumbs up!
2. Having traveled throughout Shanxi, I'm genuinely impressed by the local people. Our host was incredibly enthusiastic and helpful, assisting us with our travel plans, particularly with great money-saving tips đ. The local prices were also very fair.
3. The vinegar sold by the host was also very affordable. While apple cider vinegar from the ancient city costs 25 yuan/jin, the host's was only 18 yuan/jin. I purchased 3 jin to mix with water each morning (great for weight loss đ).
4. For out-of-town visitors, the biggest worry is wasting time on detours or overpaying for subpar attractions. Our host spent a considerable amount of time chatting with us, and thanks to their recommendations, we were able to significantly streamline and refine our subsequent travel route.
Overall, it was excellent.
A huge thank you to our wonderful host for their insightful and practical advice, which truly saved us time, effort, and money on our family trip. Wishing you continued success and prosperity!
GGuest UserExcellent hotel!
Great location, in the heart of the historic part of the city.. Easy to get from the southern Railway station by bus number 61. Comfortable nice room, very clean. The room has a kettle, cups, and tea bags. Girl from reception was so helpful. She has given a lot recomendation for visit attractions of Datun and has helped to find a transfer to Xuankong Si Monastery.

JJames56It was a pleasant surprise to see such a bright and cheerful room, so close to the train station and a shopping mall and hypermarket. The lady at the reception was very helpful and pleasant. The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom has very good shower and drainage. The best we have seen! On top of that, we were allowed to do our laundry for free! Transport was convenient. Lots of buses around and easy to visit the tourist attractions. Highly recommend this hotel!
The boss is very good, stayed for about 20 days. The first time I lived in the room downstairs, I changed to the room upstairs when I lived. Especially warm, the boss is very good. My brother's feet were broken, but when I returned to Beijing, I was broken. Thanks to the boss's reminder, I must go to the hospital to check it. During the stay, the temples in the core scenic area of Wutai Mountain were almost all worshipped. When returning to the room, the boss will make up the water. It is very convenient to go to the core scenic area from the homestay. If there are Tibetans staying, it will be particularly lively.
MM426218****Taiyuan South Station or Taiyuan Station are very close
The experience of this accommodation is great! The decoration texture in the room is very online, the stone materials in the bathroom area are solid, the facilities are also very complete, the toilet and sink configuration are practical and clean. The layout of the bedroom is also very careful, the soft bedside is particularly comfortable to lie down, and the city view can be seen by the window, with a wide view. The overall environment is clean and quiet, it is particularly comfortable to live, and the price is directly full!
AAnonymous UserThe room was very clean and the service was very thoughtful and welcoming. This should be the best service I have ever stayed in. The hotel is very good, the furnishings are more comfortable, and it is quite stylish. The guidance service at the front desk can also be done. The accommodation environment is quite quiet at night, and the breakfast type and taste are good. Recommended to stay 100 stars.
