Pipa Old Inn

Another wonderful stay with the lovely Pipa Inn. If you travel to the gorgeous old town of Datong, this is where you must stay!!! The staff are so friendly, the rooms and hotel are beautiful, great location in the middle of the old town and the inn can arrange a driver to get you to all the historical sights. Highly recommend.

Good location, service and breakfast. Pipa old Inn is located in Datong Ancient City which is surrounded by four walls. It is about 50m from Bell Tower. Stop at Bell Tower and walk 50m to Pipa Old Inn.

Very good service, only the TV connection is not so reliable. Morning complementary breakfast also good, very healthy, coffee is blended.

Perfect location: right in the old town and close to many attractions. Extremely good service: helped us book a car to tour out of town attractions and escort us to the driver as the hotel is in a car free area. No complaints at all.

A lovely, cozy hotel just steps away from a hirtoric tower. Note that although this hotel is on a pedestrian street, a taxi can drop you off within two short blocks of the hotel entrance. Note that there is no elevator in the hotel. Most rooms are on an upper level but I did nitice at least one on the main level. So if you have mobility issues BE SURE TO SEE IF A MAIN LEVEL ROOM is available!! If not, you should probably consider staying elsewhere. The staff at this hotel is warm and friendly. There are lovely decorative items arranged throughout the public areas of the hotel. The room we stayed in was "cosy"- that is to say that it was a bit cramped. For some reason this hotel will only provide a single key-card oer room. This can be awkward if one travelling companion wants to enjoy the town's nightlife, while the other may want to rest. (And note that room electricity only works with the key card inserted into its reader!) It was interesting to note that hotel clientele was a diverse mix compared go most Chinese hotels. Although staff were all friendly, do not count on English being spoken! Apparently Datong vinegar is a well know regional specialty. So be sure to ask at the front desk if you'd like to acquire a bottle!

Perfect for a stay in Datong. Not just a hotel but more of a museum - you can spend time exploring its art and history notes on a relaxing g evening. Located at the heart of the Ancient city, it’s conveniently close to EVERYTHING! Staff are friendly, rooms are clean (even though not big), breakfast is very Shanxi:)

we booked 3 rooms during our stay in datong, shanxi.. the location is great, nice interior, very clean rooms with basic amenities, delicious breakfast and superb service from check-in, booking our transportation to yungang grottoes, providing us the town tourist maps.. they made my stay very comfortable.. hotel is highly recommended.. thank you for warm hospitality!!!!

Excellent hotel with awesome furnitures, position and staff. Breakfast was tasty and abundant. The structure is located in the heart of Datong with many interesting places very close to it. Price was impeccable and my room full of comforts. Definitely a place I'd stay in again.

I stayed at the historical inn comfortably and warmly in cold winter days for two nights. I couldn’t find any major hotels that offered non-smoking rooms in Datong, so I booked at this inn. I was extremely happy with my decision because the location was in the heart of the Ancient City and next to an extremely good and popular Shanxi noodle restaurant. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable.
