Datong Yungang Hotel

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.

What a pleasant surprise this hotel was! The facilities are brand new, the room is spacious, and the breakfast spread is fantastic. Absolutely great value for money! I've already recommended it to my friends, and it'll be their top choice when they visit Datong too.

Staying at Yun Gang Hotel for my trip to Datong was a great choice. The hotel itself is truly impressive and makes for some fantastic photos. The rooms are spacious, and the bedding is very comfortable. The large bathtub was a real treat – after a day of exploring the Yungang Grottoes, a good soak made my tired legs feel so much better. Breakfast is served in the restaurant on the basement level, which has a nice water feature. The ambiance is pleasant, and the highlight is definitely the freshly made knife-cut noodles with a customizable sauce bar. Adding a bowl of lamb offal soup on the side made for a hearty and warming meal that kept me full until the afternoon, so no need to venture out for lunch. While the hotel isn't located within the ancient city, a taxi ride only costs about ten yuan, which is perfectly acceptable. The only minor downside was that breakfast can get a bit chaotic when it's crowded, making it hard to find a seat. Overall, the value for money here is excellent; it's significantly more affordable than hotels of a similar standard in larger first-tier cities.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, and the rooms are luxuriously decorated and spotlessly clean. The views from the room are great, and the staff are very service-minded. Room amenities are plentiful, and the hotel's public facilities are comprehensive. The breakfast was delicious. Overall, I'm very satisfied!

The hotel room is quite spacious, but the layout is a bit awkward, and the toilet is hard to find. The hotel facilities are also extensive. The breakfast restaurant is large with a wide variety of dishes, including many substantial options and plenty of fruit. What's particularly bad are the toiletries. They have no scent, and even with conditioner, my hair felt dry and frizzy after shampooing. The body lotion didn't spread well and wasn't absorbed. The soap didn't lather, making it difficult to even wash my underwear during my two-day stay. This definitely doesn't match the hotel's supposed caliber!

The decor is quite luxurious, and it shares two connecting buildings with the Wyndham, including breakfast and entry/exit. However, I'm not sure why our room was always so hot; perhaps we just happened to visit Datong during a heatwave.

Facilities: Fully equipped, clean, and comfortable. Cleanliness: Spotless. Ambiance: Very luxurious, all glass with crystal chandeliers, simply beautiful. Service: The front desk staff and bellhops were all very welcoming and friendly, greeting us with smiles. For this price, the quality is truly exceptional! They even included complimentary spa and swimming pool passes. The value for money is unbeatable!

Facilities: Very comprehensive, with a swimming pool and a spa. Hygiene: Excellent. Environment: Very comfortable, the hotel's design and decor are luxurious. Service: Decent (shampoo wasn't replenished for two guests). Breakfast is very nice.

The hotel's facilities are excellent, but the service was extremely disappointing. I specifically booked a large suite for four days to relax and chat with friends and play cards. However, two unfriendly guests next door fabricated stories, claiming we knocked on the wrong door and made noise. In reality, we were always careful to keep quiet. Despite this, the hotel, without verifying the facts, sent staff to disturb us multiple times in the middle of the night—they opened our door three times and we received a phone call. To prove our innocence, we even went to the surveillance room and confirmed from the footage that we never knocked on the wrong door. Overall, the hotel's handling and resolution of disputes were quite unprofessional.
