Scenic Hotels in Datong

"Very close to Yungang Grottoes. Parking is easy. The room is comfortable, clean, has floor heating, and is pet-friendly. It is also convenient to walk the dog out of the small hill in the courtyard. I ordered noodles and stir-fried vegetables in the evening, which suited my appetite. Breakfast is a bit simple, porridge, steamed buns and pickles, eggs or noodles. Those who are demanding can go to the living area to eat."

"Newly renovated in 2025, the facilities are new, and the rooms are clean and tidy with complete amenities. The courtyard offers a pleasant and comfortable environment. It's close to the Yungang Grottoes and convenient for those traveling by car. The owner and their family are warm and hospitable, readily offering help, which made for an excellent service experience."

"To be honest, this is the first time I have taken the initiative to write such a long evaluation, but as the first guest of Lanting Hot Spring B&B, there is really much to say about the experience. The following is my most true evaluation of feelings, it is never to delay 😂 On the evening of the 19th, I flew to Datong from Hangzhou. Because the plane was late, it was almost 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. I called the proprietress in advance and told the proprietress that the flight was late and needed to arrive late. The proprietress had been waiting for us at the hotel. Because the kitchen had not prepared meals after the opening, she specially asked someone to cook a bowl of hot instant noodles. Late at night a bowl of hot soup, the stomach warmed, the heart is also practical, that simple care than any welcome ceremony is real. It’s really not easy to take a taxi here. I have to do something the next day. The proprietress specially asked someone to drive us there. The red envelope was also confiscated. , I feel really embarrassed Focus on the weather in Datong. I came from Hangzhou. Hangzhou was really stuffy and hot in July. The body temperature felt fast at 40 degrees, and the body was always sticky. But as soon as I arrived in Datong on the evening of July 19, there was a dry cool breeze out of the airport, and I felt that the whole person was comfortable. At night, there was no window in the room, the wind wrapped in dry air and gently blown in, the cover was just right, and the air conditioner was not needed at all. I slept until dawn. In the morning, the skin is refreshing, and the hair is not as easy to oil as in Hangzhou. This dry summer night is really enjoyable for southerners. Let's talk about the room. The first feeling of pushing the door in is spacious, clean and comfortable. The overall decoration is the kind of simple log wind, the wall is warm white artistic paint, the floor is covered with light-colored wood brick, and it is not cold to step on barefoot. There are not many furniture, but everything is very textured - a big bed facing the floor-to-ceiling window, a rattan-made recliner by the window, a small coffee table next to it, a kettle and cups are placed in wooden trays, neat and neat. What surprised me most was that when the curtains were opened, I could see the quiet street view and the distant mountain shadow. The light came in during the day, and the whole room was warm. The bedding is made of cotton and hemp, it is very comfortable to sleep close to the body, the pillow is just soft and hard, it is also considered that I have stayed in so many hotels, and the experience is ranked in the top 10 😂 What I want to boast about most is the private soup in the room. The soup pool is embedded in a corner of the window. It is not big, just enough for two people to soak in side by side. When the water vapor is steaming, it has a special atmosphere. The boss was very sincere and told me directly that this was a real hot spring from the underground. A few kilometers next to it was a volcanic group. The water temperature was about 35 degrees, not hot or cold, and the whole person was loose from the shoulder to the sole of his feet when he soaked in. I soaked for about half an hour, and I could obviously feel that my skin was slippery. I was tired during the day and was soaked in hot water. The boss said that the water contained sulfur and metasilicate. After the soak, it was really transparent and I slept very heavily at night. And when you soak in the soup, you don't have to go out of the room, wear a bathrobe and walk two steps to get into the water, how long you want to soak for, this privacy and convenience is incomparable to the hotel's public pool. The decoration style of the whole homestay is also very unified. From the lobby to the corridor to the room, it is the kind of clean log with warm light, no fancy decoration, but every corner makes people feel comfortable and relaxed. The proprietress said that the design was her own eye, and it could be seen that it did take a lot of thought. The next morning, the proprietress came to ask if she slept well, talked a few words, and stuffed a small gift when she checked out. As the first guest, I was really a little drummed at first, but I found that the bedding was comfortable, hot water was sufficient, and soundproofed. I used my heart everywhere. If you are tired of the sticky summer in the south, want to find a quiet place to blow the dry wind, soak in real hot springs, it is worth a visit here. I am not dragging, this is the real feeling of the day from the 19th to the 20th. I wish the new store is getting better and better, I must try the dinner next time, hahahahaha"

"My biggest surprise on this trip to Datong was definitely this hotel. As a hotel enthusiast, I really couldn't find much to fault (though the pool water wasn't quite warm enough – a minor imperfection, I suppose). First off, the location is superb, right by the ancient city wall. You step out and the city wall is right across the street, and Southeast Yip is just next door. Taking a stroll in the evening couldn't be more convenient! Everything is close by, and getting a taxi is easy. Secondly, the hotel itself is stunning and impeccably clean, perfect for photos. The hotel feels like a work of art, beautifully designed, blending classical aesthetics with modern design. It also does an excellent job of protecting guest privacy; outside photographers can't just wander in. It's incredibly tranquil; even though it's fully booked every day, you rarely run into other guests, offering great privacy. I slept wonderfully. Then there are the top-tier amenities. All the luxuries you'd expect from a high-end hotel are here. Everything in the minibar, except for the red wine, is complimentary – there's so much you can't possibly drink it all. Every day, they offer different fresh fruits, nuts, and a goodnight dessert, plus complimentary coffee. The complimentary afternoon tea is very generous and aesthetically pleasing. The breakfast selection is extensive and delicious! And the service, it's simply outstanding, scoring almost full marks for attention to detail. There are plenty of staff members, and they respond incredibly quickly. They even deliver takeout to your room. If I had to pick a flaw, it's that it's quite expensive. But overall, it was definitely worth it. If I come to Datong again, I'd choose this hotel without hesitation."

"Staying at this hotel was a pleasant experience. The rooms are clean and comfortable, elegantly furnished, and the bedding is soft, ensuring a good night's sleep. The hotel's service team is very friendly and responsive, and they can provide warm help whether it is check-in or asking about the surrounding attractions. In terms of dining, the breakfast is rich in variety, fresh and delicious, making people full of vitality throughout the day. The location is excellent, close to the city center, and the transportation is convenient. It is ideal for business trips or leisure travel."

"The room decor is very grand, and everything is clean and tidy. The 24-hour butler service covers all our needs. Since we were traveling with elderly people and children, there was a shuttle to the guesthouse and someone helped us with our luggage to the room. The hot spring needs about half an hour to prepare, so you can contact the butler in advance to arrange it. It was cozy and comfortable, and our whole family had a pleasant stay. Plus, the guesthouse is in the most 'chill' Southeast Township, which is great for exploring. We'll definitely choose this place again for our next trip. The only downsides were that the noodles at breakfast seemed to have been sitting for a long time and were a bit soggy without much chewiness. Also, there are quite a few steps between the living room, the downstairs bedroom, the tea room, and the hot tub area, so it might be something to consider if you have mobility issues."

"The rooms are of normal standard, belonging to the luxury hotels of the last century, but they are now in decline, but overall they are very good and the price-performance ratio is suitable. However, there are no extra quilts in the hotel, which seem to be the same in Datong. The front desk service is very friendly."

"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."

"My daughter and I made plans to see a JJ Lin concert in Beijing. She mentioned the spectacular thousand-year-old wooden pagoda in nearby Datong's Yingxian County, so we decided to visit Datong. When we booked a hotel, we found a fantastic deal, so we booked five nights, only arriving in Beijing for one. Once we arrived, we discovered Datong is truly a gem. The temperature was a comfortable 20 degrees Celsius, and the attractions were breathtaking, from the natural wonders—the earth forests and volcanic clusters—to the cultural and historical attractions—the Yungang Grottoes, the Datong Museum, the Hanging Temple, the wooden pagoda, and the Huayan Temple. I highly recommend this B&B. It's clean, the service is excellent, and the location is fantastic. In the morning, when I opened the curtains, I could see the sunrise over the mountains—a breathtaking view. It's also conveniently located near the train station, just a 10-minute bike ride to the ancient city. The shopping mall is just around the corner, and the famous Long Juxiang is right there—delicious food with no lines. The best part is, I expected the proximity to the train station to be noisy, but it was incredibly quiet. Otherwise, I would have stayed a few more days to catch the concert in Beijing. Datong was the main attraction of this concert trip, and the concert itself took a back seat. I was so happy!"

"The hot spring hotel has been awesome. The room is very big, super clean and bright enough in areas like the bathroom. It is warm enough even in winter due to the underfloor heating,, so I have to turn off the room air con heating. The hotel front desk team is even more awesome. They are always ready to help with all kinds of queries and needs. When we were leaving, they even gave us a bottle of local vinegar as a gift. The hot spring is not located inside the hotel like the Japanese onsen. It is a couple of hundred meters away, but the hotel provided an electric buggy to ferry you to and fro. The hot spring area itself has a changing room, where you can out on the bathrobe before you step out in the open and into the hot spring. So even in winter, it is still manageable and you should not catch a cold. Some regular hot spring users even put on their down feather jacket over the bathrobe, and that surely is more effective. There are even security personnel at the hot spring to make sure there is help if you get into difficulties. Breakfast is also good. The hotel also uses the buggy to fetch you to a posh looking restaurant in the hotel vicinity. Food is good, and not too expensive. There is also a small retail outlet next to the restaurant. The prices there are very reasonable."
