Hot Springs Hotels in Shanxi, China

The environment is grand yet rustic, and my parents found it perfectly quiet and relaxing during our stay. The butler was very attentive, proactively recommending local eateries. We tried Kaige Restaurant and Fenglin Ge, both of which were delicious. The facilities are also excellent. The room had a mini-fridge, and the hairdryer was a Dyson – truly attention to detail. The afternoon tea selection was quite rich, and both breakfast and coffee in the morning were superb. You can feel the thoughtfulness in every aspect, and the service was exceptionally on point. The location is also very convenient, saving us a lot of effort when visiting attractions. My family and I had a wonderfully comfortable stay. Thumbs up! 👍

1. The room description stated a 1.8-meter king bed, but it was actually a triple room with one king bed and one small bed. There's a discrepancy between the text and the actual room, something to be aware of. 2. Unfortunately, when I arrived, the water pressure was insufficient after using the restroom, making it impossible to flush the toilet. It took almost an hour for the pressure to slowly return. I initially thought the toilet was broken, but the staff explained that low water pressure is common in the ancient town. Those sensitive to this should take note. 3. When showering, the water temperature fluctuated between hot and cold, and at one setting, it suddenly became scalding hot. Considering these three issues, it makes me question whether the price matches the experience, and it's something to think about.

Our group of four went to the Shanxi First Hot Spring Hotel, thinking it would be conveniently located within the Wang Family Courtyard. We ended up loving it! The hotel environment was superb! 👍🏻 Getting up early to climb the city wall and see the swirling mist was like stepping into a fairyland. The air was fresh, the hot spring water smooth, and the night view even more beautiful! Dinner was delicious, and breakfast was plentiful! Everyone is planning to come back! The manager, Xiao Wang, and my husband hit it off immediately, and he even gave us souvenir coins!

This trip was a complete and unexpected delight. My husband and I casually chose Xinzhou Ancient City from the map, not expecting much, because I thought all ancient cities were the same: quaint shops, sparse crowds, and touristy, commercially-run potato towers… However, this time, I truly fell in love with Xinzhou Ancient City. Our first stop was the guesthouse ”Peach Blossom Island. Jianghu.” The owner had sent us detailed directions and a list of times and locations for popular activities in the ancient city beforehand. Upon arrival, the owner and a friendly staff member were already waiting at the door, helping with parking and luggage. The interior was refreshingly decorated, giving off a feeling of ”entering Peach Blossom Island, filled with chivalry and loyalty!” Through the clean windows and tables, we could see the lush greenery of the inner corridor, a welcome respite from our cooped-up lives. A notice on the wall stated: if you are dissatisfied with the cleanliness or service, you can receive a pound of millet as a gift. 😁😁😁 I just want to say the owner is incredibly generous. After collecting our room key, we walked along the quietly flowing, intricately carved stone steps to our room. The ”green trees, red fish, and swimming turtles” along the way filled us with the joy of nature. Even the room names revealed the owner's chivalrous spirit and fondness for martial arts—Kongtong Sect, Huashan Sect, Wudang Sect… Snacks and fruit were already laid out in the room. The room was very clean, and the TV was a projector. We happened to be watching the Asian Cup U23 match that evening, and the projection was very clear; we could comfortably and clearly watch the movie from the bed. After settling in, my husband and I planned to explore the surrounding area. We were wondering where to go when the owner, seemingly noticing our hesitation, proactively came forward and introduced us to the brief history of the ancient city, the must-see spots, cultural and tourist attractions, and routes. With the owner's recommendations and warnings against pitfalls, my husband and I strolled around, enjoying delicious food along the way, and had a wonderful time. 😉 Xinzhou Ancient City is absolutely a perfect recommendation, but I won't elaborate further here. Because the return trip was quite long, I got up at 5 a.m. Before leaving, the owner even insisted on giving me a bag of millet weighing one pound. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 (ps: Can I have a ton of this kind of owner?) After leaving, the owner messaged me saying he'd left his slippers at the store. I was thinking of just leaving them, but then I realized I really didn't want them, since I'd worn them for years and had an attachment to them. So I told him to help me send them back and I'd cover the shipping cost. Later, the owner sent the slippers back, but refused to charge for shipping. 🤗🤗🤗 All I want to say is ”Peach Blossom Island. Jianghu,” see you again in the Jianghu! 🥰🥰🥰

The room is good, there is a hot spring, the sanitation is good and clean, and the surrounding environment is also very good, with the ancient style of the ancient city Facilities: There are hot springs and moon chairs on the rooftop. Health: OK Environment: Soundproofing is average

I've been to Xinzhou Ancient City a few times, and I genuinely feel that Futian Yuhua Hotel is the absolute best hotel here. The rooms are spotless, they deliver fresh fruit daily, and the beds are incredibly comfortable. The private hot spring bath experience was fantastic, and there was a constant supply of complimentary drinks every day. From the moment you step through the main entrance, you notice the incredible attention to detail – it's clear the owner has excellent taste. From the moment I called about parking, a butler was already waiting at the entrance. The service was warm and thoughtful. When leaving, they even reminded me to take a complimentary bottle of water and offered tissues, showing how much they genuinely care for their guests. On the day of check-in, I couldn't figure out the stopper for the hot spring pool, but after a quick call, someone came to help within less than a minute. I'll definitely be bringing my family back to stay here again in the future and will highly recommend it to my friends.

My experience staying at Yinxiang Homestay during my trip to Datong was absolutely perfect! Tucked away in the alleyways of the old town, the homestay's courtyard, with its gray bricks and tiles, exudes a modern yet rustic charm. Stepping through the door reveals a traditional brick-carved screen wall, and the warm yellow lights create an ambiance that's simply divine. It's only a 10-minute walk to Huayan Temple and Shanhua Temple, perfect for a relaxing break after a day of sightseeing – the tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle is unparalleled! The room was spotless, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the smart toilet and underfloor heating throughout the room were thoughtful touches, making it cozy even in autumn and winter. The owner is a local Datong resident who not only called in advance to inquire about my itinerary but also provided a detailed guide upon check-in, recommending popular local noodle and shumai restaurants, helping me avoid the pitfalls of trendy eateries and ensuring a satisfying dining experience. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in Datong, and I've already recommended it to all my friends who are planning a trip!

I often come to the ancient city of Zhangzhou to visit and find this new hotel. The stay experience far exceeds expectations. The exclusive butler docked the itinerary in advance before check-in, explained the room facilities in detail after arriving at the store, and the service was intimate. Self-driving travel is very convenient, the vehicle goes directly to the door, the staff assists in parking, and is very friendly to the novice driver. The private soup pool in the room is disinfected twice in depth, clean and at ease; the room is equipped with Marshall stereo and the furniture is elegant. Mahai Mao mattress + custom memory pillow, the bedding is soft and comfortable, and the sleep experience is excellent. Disposable independent slippers, a full set of toiletries can be taken away, the details are intimate and humane. The freshly ground coffee in the store has a mellow flavor and online quality. The hotel also has a villa area, especially looking forward to the next stay. The overall service, health, and hardware are all online. It is the best choice for living in the ancient city. I will definitely come again next time.

We checked into Yunman·Xi at 0930. We were afraid that we would not be able to find the hotel at night, so the lady came to pick us up at the parking lot of the ancient city bar. It is very convenient to park and take a taxi there. Facilities: There are not many rooms in the hotel. Each room has a private pool where you can put hot spring water for hot spring bathing (P6). There are curtains so you don’t have to worry about them showing through. It’s very comfortable. You can shower directly next to the pool. There is a Xiaoai classmate in the room, which can intelligently control the air conditioner and TV with voice. Environment: The hotel is decorated in a very bourgeois style, with a koi pond and camping chairs (P7-9, 11). It is very comfortable to drink tea and enjoy the breeze. There is an observation deck on the second floor. We checked in at night, and the night view was beautiful. During the day, refer to P8, 12-13, 1001🇨🇳 is also in time for the National Day When I checked out, I happened to encounter a truck transporting hot spring water (P14). The proprietress said that the store is close to the parking lot and transports it at least twice a day. The hot spring water released from the hot spring is all hot spring water. The temperature when it is transported is 50 degrees +, lower left corner It is the passage for transportation into each room of the hotel. It is imported from the truck with a hose. We were so busy watching this process that we forgot to take pictures hahh😂 I would also like to mention Yunman·Xi’s mascot (P15) - September (named September because they picked up a stray cat in September). It is a super beautiful silver gradient folded ear and very cute. Small, not afraid of life I stayed for one night and had a good rest. The proprietress and the ladies were very nice. I recommend everyone to choose their home and go to the hot springs again next time♨️

When I wanted to stay in the ancient city, my first consideration was parking. The hotel's own parking lot was my primary attraction. Secondly, the hotel's location is excellent, right next to Xiurong Academy. However, it's incredibly quiet at night. The front desk contacted me in advance and provided detailed directions. Upon arrival, we were escorted to the entrance by a barrier. The staff was already waiting in the parking lot, helping us with our luggage and checking us in. Our room had a circular hot spring bath, and the staff provided disposable bath bags and explained all the room amenities. When we checked out, the front desk even gave us corn grown by the owner. It was a truly heartwarming stay. I'll definitely be back.
