Datong Ancient City Intercity Hotel Hotels in Datong

Datong Ancient City Intercity Hotel

"My first stay at an IntercityHotel was about five years ago in Dresden, Germany. Since then, I've also stayed at their Guangzhou South and Guangzhou East stations. So, when I came to Datong this time, I didn't hesitate to choose the IntercityHotel Datong Ancient City. As always, everything was great. The only issue was that the TV in my room couldn't get any channels last night."

Floral Lux Hotel·Moonlit Courtyard (Datong Ancient City Southeast Quarter Branch)

"This hotel is truly excellent! It's super new, and all the facilities are fantastic. I booked a king room with a terrace, and the small terrace was incredibly comfortable and quiet at night. From the professional and polite driver who picked me up to the front desk service, everyone was wonderful. Even though it wasn't my first time visiting Datong, the warm and welcoming people here are the main reason I'd keep coming back. The location, needless to say, is top-notch. I was originally considering booking a room at [redacted mountain hotel], but I'm so glad I made a much better choice here. The breakfast was also incredibly delicious! The 'dao xiao mian' (knife-cut noodles) – with genuinely high-quality pork – and the lamb offal soup were even better than what you'd find outside. (The ones outside are often too salty, to the point where I thought I couldn't handle Datong's lamb offal soup.) I devoured two bowls! While the breakfast spread wasn't huge, everything was truly exquisite. Even the coffee tasted good, indicating quality beans. The chefs were also very kind, and their culinary skills were amazing! Sometimes, you really don't need to chase after '网红店' (internet-famous eateries); what the hotel offers is superior. Unfortunately, I didn't get to experience the swimming pool because I was rushing to a scenic spot. It's surprising that such a small hotel/guesthouse even has a pool! Next time, I definitely need to stay for a few more days to enjoy it. Finally, as someone who is quite a germaphobe and has never stayed in a guesthouse before, this new hotel/guesthouse really met my standards. Highly recommended. The off-season price is also quite reasonable."

Lihao International Hotel Hotels in Datong

Lihao International Hotel

"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."

Yunting Hotel (Datong Ancient City Yingbin Street) Hotels in Datong

Yunting Hotel (Datong Ancient City Yingbin Street)

"I'm absolutely amazed at how little I paid for such a large room - it's almost bigger than my own apartment! The hotel is clean and the room had a large working desk and a little extra table that was perfect to have breakfast. If I can say something, I don't prefer their choice of giving disposable towels, but overall the amenities provided were more than enough to have a very decent stay. Note that it's a 10 yuan can ride away from the old town, but well located to catch bus 3 to the Yungang Caves. There are restaurants and stores all around. Recommended."

Garden Hotel Hotels in Datong

Garden Hotel

"The hotel's location is excellent, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the ancient city. It's just a few minutes' walk to Huayan Temple, and several famous restaurants are also nearby. The hotel restaurant's food is definitely worth trying. My advice: avoid staying in the annex building."

Holiday Inn DATONG by IHG Hotels in Datong

Holiday Inn DATONG by IHG

"As a loyal Holiday Inn customer, I've stayed at many of their locations. I found the Holiday Inn in Datong to be slightly better than those in Xi'an and Tianjin. Of course, those other Holiday Inns also meet the group's standards, but the Datong one truly stands out. The rooms are quite spacious, and the facilities are newer. In particular, the restaurant offers a 68 yuan set meal for two, which is excellent value for money. The breakfast is also very generous, featuring a delicious lamb offal noodle soup, a true specialty of the Northwest region."

"This is an older hotel with excellent value for money. It's located right next to the old city, offering views of it from the windows. It's also just a 10-minute bike ride to the tourist shuttle bus stop. All the staff are incredibly warm and welcoming, especially the housekeeping ladies. They brought us plenty of drinking water, fruits, and snacks every day. The hot pear soup and handwritten notes each evening were a fantastic touch. Highly recommended!"

OKDAY Hotel (Datong Ancient City, Huayan Temple, Datong) ★★★★
"Facilities: The facilities are excellent, with smart home controls for everything – curtains, lights, TV, alarm clock, all powered by Tmall Genie. Everything looks quite new. Cleanliness: The hygiene was okay, but I'm not sure if it was an allergy specific to Datong or something else, but after one night, my nose felt itchy and I kept sneezing. It got much better after I turned on the air conditioning. Environment: The hotel's internal environment is good. It's about 2-3 kilometers from the ancient city, which is a comfortable bike ride away. The hotel also has slow-charging stations, so if you're driving, you can charge your car overnight. We just went directly into the ancient city for meals. Service: The service attitude was very good."

Datong Yungang Hotel ★★★★★
"Traveling from Hangzhou to Datong this time, I stayed at the Yungang Hotel. My first impression after checking in was: Datong hotels are incredibly grand! 😂 When I arrived at night, the fountain at the entrance turned on, the lights lit up, and the whole hotel looked particularly impressive. Inside, it was 'resplendent' all the way through; the lobby and corridors had the feel of an old-school high-star hotel, perfect for casual photos. The room was much larger than I expected, and the bed was very wide. I could spread out my suitcase completely without it getting in the way. The cleanliness was meticulous; the bedding, desk, and bathroom were all very neat. Overall, my stay for several nights was very comfortable. The bathroom was also spacious, and the double sinks were very convenient – two people could get ready in the morning without fighting for space. The breakfast is also worth praising. The variety was truly extensive, not just a few random items like some hotel breakfasts. There was a huge spread of fruits, hot dishes, and main courses. Those with decision paralysis would definitely go back for several rounds! 😂 It's especially friendly for tourists; eating a hearty breakfast before heading out to explore means you won't get hungry easily for the whole morning. Overall, it's a place I'd be happy to recommend. The environment is grand enough, the room is spacious and clean enough, and breakfast is abundant. If you care about accommodation comfort when visiting Datong, you can confidently choose Yungang Hotel, especially if you spend your days exploring and want a good rest at night. Next time I come to Datong, it will likely be among my top choices for accommodation."

Wyndham Grand Plaza Royale , Datong ★★★★★
"This hotel is essentially next door to the Yungang Grand Hotel and is probably one of the best hotels in the area. The overall decor is very grand, giving off a luxurious vibe. The room itself was fantastic; the cleanliness, amenities, and room service all deserve five stars! Downstairs is Fengling Court, and it's about 1 km from Wanda Plaza, so it's quite convenient for getting around and dining. The downsides are that the pool closes pretty early, around 8 PM, and the changing rooms smelled strongly of urine. The pool water also didn't feel very clean, so that part of the experience was just okay. Additionally, breakfast was incredibly crowded, and you had to find your own seat. I hope they can optimize this, though I understand it's peak tourist season. Overall, I was still very satisfied!"
