Scenic Hotels in Datong

"On my trip to Datong, I booked a stay at the Howard Johnson Jindi Plaza Datong, located right by the ancient city, through Trip.com. It's rated 5 stars online, and it truly lives up to the hype! As soon as I checked in, I was upgraded for free to a deluxe business suite. It was my first time seeing a suite with a dining table big enough to host over 10 friends and family. After one night, I switched back to my originally booked business king room. The king room was also incredibly comfortable, measuring a spacious 62 square meters. Opening the curtains revealed views of Datong's streets. If you walk to the end of the corridor, you can even see a panoramic view of the ancient city of Datong. What truly stands out is the fantastic Chinese restaurant at this 5-star hotel. I stayed in Datong for three days, and除了one lunch I had in Hunyuan Ancient City, all my other five lunches and dinners were enjoyed at the hotel's Chinese restaurant. Here, a bowl of Shanxi's specialty knife-cut noodles is only 6 RMB, and a bowl of cold noodles, even tastier than those in Hunyuan, is just 3 RMB. You can order half portions of shumai, and during the first dog days of summer, they even had dumplings. I tried the braised deer tendon with scallions, something I'd never had before, and it was superb, as were the husband and wife lung slices and jellyfish salad – perfect with drinks. Dining here is delicious and affordable. If you top up 200 RMB, you even get a complimentary plate of Shanxi's signature 'guoyourou' (fried pork in sauce). A huge shout-out also goes to the restaurant staff. They are warm, thoughtful, and genuinely care for guests, even advising against ordering too much, ensuring just the right amount! In summary, I give a 5-star rating to both the hotel and the F&B department. The last photo is of the hotel's breakfast, which was also excellent. The hotel has two breakfast restaurants, so even with many guests, it never feels crowded!"

"I made a last-minute decision to visit Datong during the Spring Festival. Luckily, I was able to book a hotel in a good location. Prices went up a bit during the holiday, but it was still within an acceptable range. The room was clean and I had a comfortable stay. If I have the opportunity to travel to Datong again, I will consider staying at the same hotel."

"The hotel's location is excellent, very close to the city center, making it easy to get to both the ancient city and commercial areas. Parking was also convenient for those arriving by car. Great value for money! The rooms were clean and tidy, with a good separation of wet and dry areas. The soundproofing was also decent. The butler was warm and patient, always ready to answer any questions, which definitely enhanced our positive impression of Datong."

"We stayed here with our child, and the hotel's location is excellent. It's very close to the East Gate of the ancient city, and if you walk south from the hotel, there are many small eateries. The interior environment is clean and tidy, and the facilities are very functional. The sleeping environment is great, quiet with no noise, and the bedding is comfortable. The service attitude is superb; they genuinely care about guests and provide many conveniences and benefits."

"I visited Datong this week and stayed at the Meijing Heyang Hotel. From the outside, the hotel looks unremarkable, but after checking in, there were many highlights that impressed me: The service was attentive and thoughtful, and the staff were warm and patient with guests. The lobby always had several types of tea available, and in addition to standard toiletries, the room also provided laundry detergent, skincare products, and hand cream. It's clear they pay great attention to detail for their guests, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The rooms were clean, and housekeeping was prompt and thorough. The facilities were well-arranged, making for a very comfortable stay. Furthermore, I noticed over these past few days that the hotel was almost fully booked every day, which speaks volumes about its mature operations and professional, dedicated staff. The only minor drawback was that the bathroom vanity was a bit too low, making it slightly inconvenient for washing up. If it could be raised a bit in the future, the stay would be even more perfect."
