3-Star Hotels in Datong

Stumbled upon a hidden gem of a guesthouse in Datong Ancient City – the service was absolutely impeccable! From booking to check-out, a dedicated butler provided thoughtful assistance, helping us avoid tourist traps, recommending authentic local eats, and even handling our luggage to and from the property. All the little details were so heartwarming. The ancient courtyard environment was tranquil and elegant, and the rooms were clean and comfortable – a perfect peaceful retreat amidst the bustling city. Staying right inside the ancient city allowed us to explore historical sites during the day and stroll through the alleyways in the evening, making our trip incredibly fulfilling. Full marks for service, full marks for ambiance. I've already recommended it to friends planning a trip to Datong, and I'll definitely be staying here again on my next visit!

Datong True Treasure City! The sky in September is very blue, the air is fresh, the streets are clean and tidy, and the people of Datong are hospitable! The homestay is also a treasure homestay! I was worried about the taste at the beginning of the evaluation, but I found that I was really worried when I lived in. The windows in the room are open and the ventilation is very good. Secondly, the store's service attitude is very good, intimate and thoughtful, the room is clean and tidy, and the smart home has everything. The homestay also provides free bicycles, and it is very convenient to go shopping and cycling in the ancient city! like! recommend!

This guesthouse boasts a wonderfully elegant ambiance and a truly superb location. Stepping out, you're right on Gulou East Street, perfect for exploring, and Southeast Yi is just a few minutes' walk away. Despite its bustling street location, the guesthouse's courtyard offers surprising tranquility. We slept soundly through the night and woke up naturally, completely undisturbed. The owner and the housekeeper were incredibly thoughtful and attentive. They were always ready to answer any questions, from before our arrival until our departure, and their responses were always very detailed. Every day, the housekeeper would kindly ask us what time we'd like breakfast the next morning, and at the agreed time, she'd even come to our room door to let us know it was ready. I absolutely adored it!!! If I ever visit again, I would definitely choose Yishui Street.

Traveling solo to Datong, I was looking for a quiet place to stay for a few days, and 'Zhi Fou Zhi Fou Courtyard Designer Inn' perfectly fulfilled all my fantasies of a 'hidden courtyard retreat.' The inn is located inside Wuding Gate, on Ziyun Huacheng Jiuxianli street, right at the doorstep of Daiwangfu, making it convenient to go anywhere. The north gate area is quiet, and it's an easy stroll to the ancient city center. I booked the 'Deep Sleep, Leftover Wine | Zhi Fou No. 2 Courtyard · Listening to Rain Family Suite,' which was more than enough space for one person. The room was clean and tidy with excellent facilities. What impressed me most was the bed – the mattress was just right, not too soft and not too hard; once I lay down, I didn't want to get up. I later learned that the owner truly invests in their bedding. The tea room was my favorite spot every day. Brewing a pot of tea and reading a book, with the silhouette of the ancient city wall outside the window, that sense of tranquil relaxation amidst the hustle and bustle is something I hadn't experienced in a long time. I must particularly praise the service. The owner hadn't eaten after returning from the Hanging Temple late at night, and one of the staff members ran out to buy instant noodles for him. These small details really warm your heart. The free pick-up service was hassle-free, and the owner even helped me book a reservation at Fenglin Pavilion. The welcome fruit and snacks were also perfectly arranged. The inn allows pets without any extra charge. Although I was traveling alone this time, seeing other guests with their dogs sunbathing in the courtyard felt incredibly heartwarming. The biggest fear when traveling alone is staying somewhere desolate, but here, the elegance of the designer courtyard, the warmth of the housekeeper, and the tranquility of the ancient city wall made me feel incredibly well taken care of. Next time I bring my family to Datong, I will definitely choose this place again.

Here is a breakdown of what makes this residence a notable choice in Datong: 1. Location & Atmosphere • Prime Setting: It is situated in the Bolan Wulong Lane community, specifically near the Wuding Gate of the Ancient City.  • Convenience: It is within walking distance of major historical sites like Huayan Temple, the Nine Dragon Wall, and the Ancient City Walls.  • Design: The property was designed by a well-known domestic architect. It features a traditional Chinese courtyard layout that provides a quiet, serene escape from the city bustle.  2. ”Light Luxury” Amenities The ”light luxury” (轻奢) label comes from its high-end interior hardware, which stands out among local boutique hotels: • Sleep & Tech: Rooms are equipped with Mousse bedding, solid black walnut furniture, and smart home features like XGIMI (Jimmy) projectors.  • Bath & Grooming: You’ll find Kohler sanitary ware, Dyson hair dryers, and 3M soft water filtration systems for the entire house.  • Appliances: Rooms often include Westinghouse refrigerators and high-quality tea-making facilities.  3. Guest Experience • Smart Features: Most rooms are integrated with whole-house smart controls (lighting, climate, and entertainment).  • Personalized Service: Reviewers frequently praise the ”butler-style” service, which includes custom-prepared breakfasts and helpful local travel advice. • Room Variety: Options range from 23 m^2 tatami rooms to 580 m^2 deluxe courtyard villas for large groups. The bathroom was very small and a little bit smelly but overall we had a good time here and the price was more than reasonable

The hotel's location is great, and having its own parking lot is quite convenient. They offer welcome amenities upon check-in. The unique rooftop terrace on the second floor provides an excellent view of the night skyline. The front desk also enthusiastically recommended local famous breakfast spots, which made for a good overall experience.

The staff are so so friendly and helpful. I asked for help a couple of times and also for a food recommendation and they were really helpful! The location is super central. There‘s a laundry machine and a washing power included. Filtered hot/cold water. Vending machine. Microwave. Kettle. No fridge to use but food is so cheap anyway, it‘s not necessary to cook. I liked that the dorm rooms were 2 beds. I was worried when i saw there was no window to the outside in the room, but the central aircon in there is perfect. And the universal plugs in the bed space, curtains, and little shelf at the bed were all perfect. There‘s one soap in the shared shower room but none in the bathroom where the toilets are which is strange. And no brushes next to the toilets. I think having those would help guests to be more sanitary in the bathrooms- a few times if i needed to go to the bathroom later at night i had to try a few stalls before i could find a clean toilet. That‘s a minor thing since the hostel was generally clean, but something i did notice. Also one suggestion would be for a print out of some of the important information about the hostel, or an explanation on arrival: where to wash and dry clothes, where the drinking water is. I feel bad coming up and asking these sorts of things if the staff are busy. When i did ask, they were always very kind anyway, but just an idea ☺️

The location of the hotel is perfect. It is the right place to stay when visiting the Hanging Temple and Jin Temple. The room and bed are large, especially suitable for bringing children. It is no problem for a family of three to stay in a big bed. The bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas. The breakfast is also very good. Overall, it is very cost-effective.

The hotel has very spacious and comfortable rooms. The breakfast is only Chinese, but rich and plentiful. We can't comment on the location because we always took taxis to the attractions around Datong (the wooden pagoda, hanging monasteries, and the Yungang Grottoes), but right next to the hotel are plenty of restaurants and places to grab a quick bite. The staff seemed helpful, but no one spoke English, so we had to use a translation app, which wasn't always accurate, and communication was somewhat hampered.

Very satisfied with our family trip and helped us arrange three rooms next to each other. The customer's needs can be met as much as possible. The environment, health, and meals are very good. The hotel's restaurant is very suitable for the taste of the elderly and children. It is not the style of spicy dishes. Very good 👍 Next time I will book Yuzhu Hotel
