The location is very convenient for tourists; it's only about a ten to twelve-minute walk to the Datong Ancient City direct shuttle bus stop.

Rui Feng Hotel Hotels in Datong

Rui Feng Hotel

"Staying at Ruifeng Tower was definitely the best decision for our Datong trip! The hotel is located right in the heart of the ancient city, within walking distance of attractions like Huayan Temple and Shanhua Temple, making it super convenient. The rooms have an antique charm, and when you open the window, you're greeted with the sight of traditional courtyards and intricate eaves. What truly delighted me were the books in the room. Reading them before bed, the glory of Pingcheng during the Northern Wei Dynasty and the prosperity of the Liao and Jin secondary capitals came alive on the pages, adding a wonderful cultural depth to our journey. The breakfast buffet was abundant, and the staff were warm and professional. Next time I'm in Datong, I'll definitely choose Ruifeng Tower again, to immerse myself in the unique charm of this ancient capital amidst its scholarly ambiance and historic beauty!"

Yungang Meigao Hotel Hotels in Datong

Yungang Meigao Hotel

"Stayed at the Megao Hotel for four days, and overall it was a great experience. It's about 2 kilometers from the South City Wall, quite central. The hotel's decor is a bit dated, but the staff's enthusiasm more than makes up for it. The front desk was always helpful with any issues. Housekeepers Liu Rihong and Liu Dan were also very warm and accommodating. Definitely a good review!"

Da Tong Weidu International Hotel Hotels in Datong

Da Tong Weidu International Hotel

"Initially, I was given a windowless room which was a very old king-sized room. All the buttons on the headboard were broken, and there was only one side with a charging port. It was also very noisy as it was close to the elevator. The shower drain had some issues as well. After I gave feedback, they changed me to a windowless tatami room, which was generally okay. However, there weren't enough tissues, and the toilet paper ran out too quickly. The hotel is about a two-kilometer walk from the ancient city. The value for money is just so-so. No one reminded us about the late-night congee service either."

Enjoy reliable, upscale comfort right in the heart of a prime commercial neighborhood. This prominent property is a traveler favorite, renowned for its spacious guest rooms and seamless access to the city’s most iconic historical sites.

Datong Hotel Hotels in Datong

Datong Hotel

"Datong Hotel is located south of Datong Ancient City. It's about a 30-minute walk to the ancient city, so a shared bike would be more convenient. The hotel has two buildings; the Welcome Building has older facilities, while the VIP Building is better. The breakfast spread is very rich, offering many local Datong delicacies. The lamb offal noodle soup, in particular, is very authentic and just as good as what you'd find outside."

Wyndham Grand Plaza Royale , Datong

"The hotel decor is luxurious and the room facilities are excellent. The soundproofing could be better, but it's acceptable. The main issue is the chaotic breakfast. No matter what time you go, there are no seats available, so you have to wait nearby. Every chef preparing food has a terrible attitude. Even if you're polite, they won't speak to you nicely. If you ask for a pancake, they'll act annoyed and tell you to wait, as they're making small crepes. They made a whole plate of small crepes. When I asked if they could make a pancake, they didn't even look up and just said no, still pouring batter to make more small crepes, even though no one was taking them. The noodle and shaved noodle chefs were the same. If something ran out and you asked for a refill, they'd just say, 'Wait.' Despite the seemingly large restaurant, there aren't many edible options. The lamb offal soup with noodles and pancakes tasted good, but you'll have to queue for fried eggs. Both days, I witnessed guests arguing with staff. If I hadn't been traveling with my child, I wouldn't have let them get away with it; it's truly outrageous. Paying 1,400 for a hotel doesn't require amazing service, but couldn't they at least be polite? Also, there are no delivery robots in the hotel. If you order takeout, you have to go down to the entrance of Yungang to pick it up yourself. Apart from the decor, it really doesn't feel like a five-star hotel at all. There are no supermarkets nearby either; you have to walk a long way to buy anything. For those looking for a good hotel, be cautious. If you don't eat breakfast and don't order takeout, it might be an option, otherwise, it's really inconvenient and you'll end up frustrated!"

Huayi Select Hotel by Home Inn (Datong Yungang District Wuyue Plaza) Hotels in Datong

Huayi Select Hotel by Home Inn (Datong Yungang District Wuyue Plaza)

"The room facilities were terrible! There wasn't even an internal phone line; I had to call a virtual number on Ctrip to contact the front desk – this is the first time I've ever encountered this. It was advertised as a suite, but the outer room didn't even have a single power outlet, not even a place to charge my phone. It's unbelievable! The toilet was wobbly, and the sealant on the base was even peeling off – they hadn't even fixed it properly. The sofa, mahjong machine, and even the bed, mattress, and cabinets looked like they were secondhand items; there was a strong, pungent smell. Judging from the environment, it was probably a converted conference room or something, and they called it a "luxury business suite" – what a joke! The breakfast selection was extremely limited and the food was awful. If it weren't for the peak season during Chinese New Year, I definitely wouldn't have stayed here. Honestly, it damages the image of Home Inn! A truly terrible experience!"

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."

Garden Hotel Hotels in Datong

Garden Hotel

"The location is fantastic! Turn left out of the hotel and you're right at the Drum Tower, and Huayan Temple is just a short walk away. In the evening, I grabbed a number at the nearby Longjuxiang restaurant, then came back to the hotel to relax. I only headed back over when it was almost our turn, about half an hour later. The Chinese restaurant here is also delicious; the braised pork belly exceeded my expectations. The hotel's garden is highly regarded by locals too. Overall, I'm very satisfied."

"The guesthouse is located in the pedestrian street of Southeast Yi, a quiet place in the bustling city. The interior design is a wabi-sabi style courtyard. All the staff are warm and helpful. The four rooms in the east, west, south, and north offer views of the central garden. There are also private hot springs and in-room massage services. After sightseeing, you can relax in your room with tea. It's a very pleasant stay."

"It was a decent stay, nothing special. The room felt a bit small when I checked in. The cleanliness was alright, and the breakfast selection was quite varied. The location is pretty good, and parking was convenient. It's not far from the ancient city. It's a shame I arrived so late that evening and didn't get to explore the ancient city."

"The room was spacious, quiet, clean, and bright, with comfortable bedding and a beautiful environment. The front desk service was warm and attentive. Furthermore, the location was perfect! Situated between the ancient city and the Yungang Grottoes, it's close to everything. There are many bus lines right outside, and taxis are readily available, making it the ideal accommodation for exploring Datong. A perfect experience! This hotel combines excellent location with a high-quality accommodation experience, making it a perfect choice for visiting Datong. It's a very cost-effective hotel and highly recommended!

"Stepping into the room, I was instantly wowed by the seamless blend of technology and aesthetic design! The in-room smart voice control was incredibly responsive. The bedding felt like sleeping on clouds, and the separate wet/dry bathroom design was absolutely perfect. Every detail exuded a light luxury vibe; staying here felt like a top-tier reward for both body and mind~ 🌟 The location is super convenient, close to everything. It was easy to get to popular foodie spots and explore the ancient city's attractions. The hotel service was also excellent; they helped with luggage storage, and there was even traditional clothing available for a fun experience!"

GRAND PAVILION HOTEL ★★★
"Overall it's OK, here are the shortcomings: 1. The electric curtains opened and closed several times for no apparent reason. 2. I called to ask for an extra quilt, but it wasn't delivered. 3. The breakfast coupons were only given for the first day, and they said they would deliver the breakfast coupons for the second day to the room, but they didn't, so we had to get them ourselves. 4. The bathtub didn't have a disposable cover. 5. There was a girl at the front desk who had a bit of a sour face. 6. No souvenirs were given when checking out (other guests did when checking out) The hardware is pretty good, but the shortcomings are as above. I won't come again, I can give it a score of 70."

"The hotel staff were incredibly accommodating. They upgraded us to a family room, and the breakfast spread was fantastic, offering a great mix of local Shanxi specialties and Western options. We wanted to extend our stay in the same room, but it wasn't available. However, the lobby staff went above and beyond to arrange a king-size room for us. While it was a bit pricier, it felt completely worth it. The TV was a little small, but the rewind function was a great bonus, allowing us to catch up on shows."

There's a convenience store downstairs, and it's a short, direct taxi ride to all the attractions, which saved a lot of time. Overall, it was a very comfortable stay.
