Find 5-Star Hotels in Datong

On this trip, after leaving my job, I've stayed in many places, but Datong was the most surprising city. It's full of historical sites, delicious food, and a vibrant, down-to-earth atmosphere. But what surprised me even more was the guesthouse I chose. I did extensive research and ultimately decided to stay within the ancient city, which turned out to be incredibly convenient for dining, lodging, and getting around. It was fantastic and perfectly suited me. Initially, I considered guesthouses in the Southeast District, but they were all new, and their styles were quite similar and unremarkable, much like guesthouses in other cities. So, I picked one with unique traditional Chinese characteristics, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The breakfast was exactly to my liking – nutritious and light. The room was warm and cozy, and the toiletry kit was amazing, with thoughtful items inside. Even though it's been in the ancient city for ten years, the decor and renovation show no sign of age; it's incredibly well-maintained. The housekeeper mentioned they had just upgraded all the rooms before my arrival, haha! 😄 This guesthouse truly helped my restless mind calm down. It felt like staying in a museum. The aunties and housekeepers working here told me stories about every single object and corner, which deeply moved me. This is what a guesthouse should be – unpretentious and full of stories. The biggest surprise this time was having the chance to meet the owner, a wonderful lady. She was so nice, I initially thought she was just another staff member; she had absolutely no airs. More importantly, her experiences and background are incredible – she does extreme sports and has even climbed Mount Everest! Talking with her made me feel so comfortable and helped me let go of a lot of things. Thank you for the encounter; it was truly destiny. This was the most unexpected gain from my trip to Datong, and I will definitely go back if I get the chance! It felt just like home, with no sense of unfamiliarity whatsoever.

The environment was incredibly clean and quiet, and the facilities were very modern. The service was exceptionally attentive; the snacks and fruits were all to our taste, and breakfast had everything you could ask for. They frequently offered proactive reminders about complimentary services, and the airport shuttle was a huge plus. The staff, both male and female, were efficient, responsive, and incredibly polite and thoughtful, which made our stay very comfortable. We were extremely satisfied with our choice of hotel this time.

Let me talk about the advantages first, the service is really excellent, the bedding bathroom and other facilities are high-end atmosphere, very comfortable. Besides some shortcomings, the room card of the previous guest was also inserted in the power collection place, which means that the room cleaning is not very careful. I booked the private soup room. The waiter said that the private soup time was ten o'clock in the evening, but it was gone for more than nine minutes. The private soup time was slightly shorter. The wireless network in the room is really poor, the signal is very poor, the delay is high, and it is not good to play a League of Legends. This is strongly recommended to improve. Breakfast was served at 7 o'clock, and the result was almost 7:30. The waiter said that because there were fewer guests at the current opening, there were half of the dishes. I think this is too much. Since it is opened, even if it is 0 guests, it should be all together. In general, the room environment is very good, but just opened, there are indeed many shortcomings, I hope to improve it as soon as possible, I will come again if I have a chance.

I forgot to leave a review before, but even though the facilities aren't top-notch, the environment was quite peaceful. I'm not sure if it was because I requested a quiet room when booking, but our three rooms were on a floor where there were indeed no noisy drunkards or unruly children. Being able to get a good rest makes it a decent hotel. Some hotels, despite having great facilities, have terrible management, which is pointless... Breakfast was average; the lamb offal soup was pretty good, but you can't expect too much from breakfast at this level of hotel. Both service and breakfast were pretty standard, and overall, it wasn't a rip-off.

This was my first time in Datong, and this hotel left me with an excellent impression of the city! The service was superb. Zhao Qingnan at the front desk was beautiful, kind, and provided wonderful service. Seeing that I had a child with me, she upgraded me to a twin room and even thoughtfully gave my child a complimentary breakfast, which was very nice. Everyone I encountered at the hotel was warm and friendly. The security guard in the underground parking lot was especially patient and kept helping me direct my car. The hotel breakfast was also very generous.

The hotel's location is fairly convenient, and there's ample parking right outside. The overall style and decor are typical of an older, government-affiliated hotel, which means it's a bit dated. In-room facilities aren't new; the TV is small, and the toiletries (shampoo, shower gel, etc.) are of very low quality – completely unworthy of the price. Housekeeping was average, and the cleanliness was acceptable. What I really want to emphasize is that during the peak summer travel season, most families travel with children, and the way the staff at the hotel breakfast entrance handled things was totally inappropriate. Regardless of whether guests had breakfast vouchers or not, their tone was incredibly annoying and infuriating. They spoke to everyone entering with a hostile tone, demanding room numbers and names as if we were criminals. I wish they would learn from well-run resort hotels, which prioritize service before payment. I even overheard the staff at the entrance telling some families, 'So-and-so asked us to take care of these guests,' which was utterly unbelievable. Seeing this kind of service first thing in the morning really sours your mood for the entire day. Breakfast recommendation: The knife-cut noodles are delicious. Friendly reminder: For families traveling, I'd strongly advise you to think twice and choose a hotel with better service.

Let me talk about the pros. The breakfast was quite plentiful and tasty, 68 yuan per person. Our child, being 15, paid an extra 40 yuan. We booked three rooms together. The rooms were decent for a five-star hotel, and the lobby was beautiful. Now for areas for improvement. Aside from the good security guard at the entrance, the service could be better. Since it's a hot spring hotel, the hot spring itself is important, but it was rather mediocre. Of the 12 pools, some were 58 degrees Celsius, some 48 degrees, and only a few were usable and small. Also, because so many people were crammed into a few pools, they became quite dirty. All three families stayed for an hour before leaving. There were too many access control points. For a hotel in such a remote area, I don't understand why there were so many access control points and card swiping systems; it was very inconvenient. I didn't intend to give a low score because the front desk gave us a complimentary breakfast, which was a concession.

The hotel receptionists and manager were very welcoming and proactively introduced the hotel facilities to guests. If you don't want to go out in the evening, there's also a Chinese restaurant. Special praise goes to Aunt Jia, who cleaned the rooms; she was incredibly warm and meticulous, keeping everything tidy.

The hotel is very beautiful, unexpectedly beautiful, very quiet and secret. The clerk service is very good, The sanitation is also very clean, and there is still a last time Check-out gifts and handwritten greeting cards are very intimate

Checking in, I found that the hotel facilities are quite complete, the smart toilet and screen TV in the room are very good, the corridor sound insulation is also good, the elevator speed is fast and there is no need to wait for a long time, and there is a intimate free delivery service.
