Wyndham Grand Plaza Royale , Datong
9.1 (4,062 reviews)

Wyndham Grand Plaza Royale , Datong ★★★★★

📍 No. 138 Heng'an Street, Pingcheng District, 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!"

Datong Jixiashan · SUNYATA Resort Hotel Hotels in Datong

Datong Jixiashan · SUNYATA Resort Hotel

"Quiet yet centrally located, with easy walking access to Fahua Temple, Daiwangfu, Nine Dragon Wall, Taiping Tower, and Four Archways. Dongnanyi is also a great place to explore. There are plenty of restaurant options nearby. The hotel's spatial design, material choices, and color palette are all on point. There are many public spaces to choose from, and the rooms are well-arranged with good soundproofing. The service is excellent and attentive."

"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."

Overall, it's definitely worth staying here."

"The hotel is great! First, the hardware: it's truly new and very clean, which makes for a comfortable stay. Crucially, the service also keeps up; everyone's attitude is excellent. If you need anything, they resolve it quickly, which is a huge plus. I especially want to commend Tian Tian (Sweetie). She led our Guangling paper-cutting activity and taught us with great dedication and patience. The only thing to mention is that the location is a bit far from the city center. It's not very convenient if you don't have a car, so self-driving is recommended. However, it's peaceful here, so it's a trade-off. The private hot spring bath is excellent. Overall, I'm very satisfied and recommend it!"

Garden Hotel Hotels in Datong

Garden Hotel

"The hotel facilities are quite old, but its location is a big plus. I wasn't a fan of the large vanity mirror facing the double bed, and the air conditioning display stayed lit up all night. The power outlets also seemed a bit dated. It was clean, but there's a construction site downstairs. Luckily it rained, so there wasn't much dust, but it was quite noisy in the mornings. The overall environment is pretty average, which is to be expected for an older hotel. The breakfast selection was limited and the taste was just okay, though the knife-cut noodles were decent. I really need to vent about the restaurant. They advertised a separate entrance for hotel guests, but when I went down for dinner, it was packed. The staff managing the queue kept giving conflicting information, and the whole system was incredibly disorganized. Eventually, they told us to wait for half an hour across the street with non-guests until the central corridor restaurant opened. When I went back to the hotel lobby to ask what was going on, a front desk attendant had a security guard escort me up to a table in the Chinese restaurant, where I had to share a table. The food wasn't great either – very salty. Lots of complaints, so I'd advise caution."

"This guesthouse is absolutely fantastic, it really shattered my preconceived notions about ggesthouses. It offers service that goes far beyond its price point, delivering incredible value for money. The staff are incredibly warm and attentive, the common areas are very artistic, and the cleanliness is impeccable. The room facilities are perfectly adequate. I'll definitely choose this guesthouse again next time I'm in Datong, and I'll be recommending it to all my friends. (Pictures taken by me)"

Holiday Inn DATONG by IHG Hotels in Datong

Holiday Inn DATONG by IHG

"I stayed at the Holiday Inn for a one-night weekend trip. It's located outside the ancient city area; a taxi to the ancient city costs just over 10 RMB, and to Datong South Station, it's a bit more than 20 RMB. Even though Datong is theoretically in its off-season after the school year started, there are still many tourists. Restaurants in the ancient city still have long queues. Within 3 kilometers of the hotel, there are chain branches of popular restaurants like Longjuxiang, Kaige, and Sandaocai. While they still have queues, it's much better than the ancient city area. The hotel room is very spacious, over 30 square meters, with a king-sized bed. The breakfast selection is also very rich. P.S. I asked the front desk staff for dining recommendations. Besides the famous restaurants within 3km mentioned above, they also recommended the hotel's Chinese restaurant. I didn't get a chance to try it, but the prices were genuinely friendly."

Pipa Old Inn ★★★
"The biggest surprise of this trip was staying at this old Pipa Inn, which felt like a private museum. From the moment I stepped through the door, everything I saw was exquisite collections and memorabilia related to Zhaojun. Every decoration showcased the owner's aesthetic and ingenuity, making me feel as if I had traveled through time and was conversing with history. The location is simply impeccable. Huayan Temple is right outside the door, and the joy of walking everywhere is something truly special! The nearest taxi stand, Huayan Hotel, is only a three-minute walk away. Right at the doorstep is a food paradise, with famous local eateries like Xijindao, Fenglinge, Longjuxiang, and Zini 369 all within walking distance. Finding food was absolutely effortless, perfect for lazy people like us who don't want to plan. The inn also provides breakfast, and I was pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality of the meals, with a perfect blend of Chinese and Western options. Even more remarkable is the atmosphere here. All the guests were polite, and I even met some foreign friends. My biggest thanks go to the owner. When we had an urgent work matter and needed assistance, the owner not only didn't find it troublesome but went out of their way to enthusiastically help us coordinate resources, solving our immediate problem. This is no longer just an inn; it's the warmest support system on a journey. Highly recommended!"

"The B&B is right in the ancient city, very close to the city wall entrance. Climbing it at night offers great views. The room was clean and comfortable. All the bath towels and towels were disposable. The breakfast area is a bit of a walk from the B&B, but it's acceptable. The lady at the front desk provided excellent, warm, and thoughtful service."

Howard Johnson Plaza Jindi ★★★★★
"The hotel is conveniently located close to the ancient city, and you can enjoy a beautiful night view of it right from your room. The guest room is spacious; although it's an older property, the environment is well-maintained. There is a parking lot available, the room is fully equipped, and cleanliness is top-notch. What stands out the most is the exceptionally warm and attentive service—from the front desk and security guards to the housekeeping, logistics, and kitchen staff, every single employee we met deserves praise. All our requests were handled promptly. In addition to complimentary welcome fruits, they even delivered freshly made pear soup to our room in the evening, which was a very heartwarming touch. The breakfast buffet also offered a good variety of options. We had a pleasant 3-night stay here during the National Day holiday, visiting the Yungang Grottoes and taking a night tour of the ancient city, which left us with wonderful impressions of Datong. Highly recommended! Perhaps due to the season, the central air conditioning was turned off, making the high-floor rooms rather warm. It is suggested that a more efficient or scientific approach could be considered."

"Service: This is genuinely the best service I've ever experienced in a hotel while traveling. They helped carry our luggage upstairs, the front desk was incredibly responsive to almost every request and proactively asked if we needed anything. They even prepared a parting gift for us when we left – truly deserving of a big thumbs up! 👍🏻 Facilities: They have a laundry room and a gym, but we were too busy exploring the sights to use them. Environment: It's located right inside Datong Ancient City. You can practically walk to all the eating and entertainment spots within the ancient city, which is super convenient. Cleanliness: Being a new hotel, the cleanliness was excellent. Breakfast: The variety was rich. They had knife-cut noodles that tasted almost as good as those from specialty shops, and the shaomai and brown sugar steamed buns were also very good."
