Guest UserTraveling to Datong and blindly picking Fangxiangxuan B&B turned out to be an absolute hidden gem! It was hands down the biggest surprise of the entire trip, and I'm genuinely not just hyping it up. I was worried when booking because B2 sounded like a dark basement, but my worries completely vanished upon arrival—the air is fresh and it even comes with a little courtyard. After staying here, I just want to fiercely recommend it to everyone planning a trip to Datong.
I fell in love with the courtyard at first sight. The traditional Chinese garden vibe is off the charts, meticulously kept and impeccably clean, with flowers and plants arranged just right. After a tiring day of exploring the ancient city, sitting in the courtyard for a bit, feeling the breeze, and zoning out instantly heals all travel fatigue. Plus, every snap is a masterpiece without even trying to find the right angle—your social media feeds will be fully stocked!
A major shoutout to the cleanliness! It's the kind of immaculate that would make even a perfectionist give a thumbs-up. Every single corner of the room is spotless, the bedding is soft and crisp, and the mattress isn't that mushy kind that ruins your back. The bathroom is dry and odorless, and the floor is so clean I dared to walk around barefoot. You can tell the staff put real heart into it, not just a superficial show; sincerity shines through every detail.
The amenities also completely exceeded expectations—fully equipped, thoughtful, and with brand-new, easy-to-use hardware. It's comfortable and hassle-free, blending traditional aesthetics with modern comfort without sacrificing the living experience for the sake of looks. That is truly rare.
The biggest bonus has to be the manager and the entire staff—warm, welcoming, and yet completely tactful! They never over-disturb, but respond super fast whenever you need anything. They patiently answer questions and offer thoughtful local sightseeing and dining tips. Getting along with them feels like hanging out with an old friend, warm and relaxed with zero awkwardness. I was worried about feeling restrained while traveling, but Fangxiangxuan gave me the ultimate at-home chill vibe. The little welcome card was so heartwarming, and the handwriting was gorgeous too.
When traveling, pretty houses are easy to find, and clean B&Bs are not rare either, but genuine, attentive service and a courtyard that lets you shed all your fatigue are truly hard to come by. Fangxiangxuan has officially raised my standards for Datong B&Bs. If you're coming to Datong and want a comfortable, worry-free, and heartwarming courtyard stay, just book Fangxiangxuan blindly! This will definitely be my top choice again next time I'm in Datong, and I'm already looking forward to my stay here with my besties next month!!

MiemiehecongcongThe room is very spacious, with a separate bathroom and toilet area, and soaking in the tub is wonderfully relaxing. The hotel is in a great location right next to Maoye World, making shopping very convenient. Room service is prompt and the staff are very attentive. The breakfast spread is rich with various local Taiyuan specialties available! Would definitely stay here again 👏

SteveCHouLoved it!! Although we were only here 2 nights, this was one of our 2 favorite stays of our 2 weeks in China. We’re loved it here. This hotel was just what I was hoping for. Traditional courtyard hotel. It’s beautiful! We felt like we were in a movie. It was so relaxing. Both mornings I just relaxed on the swing in the courtyard and enjoyed the peace and the environment. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Helen was very nice and helped us with any questions we had. The room was clean and beautiful. I will say you need to be prepared for a very firm bed - but that’s the style and party of the experience, This was one of our favorite parts of our trip. If we’re fortunate enough to have the chance to come back, I will definitely stay here again. I highly recommend.

It is two kilometers away from the ancient city of Datong. You can achieve sightseeing freedom by scanning an electric shared bicycle downstairs. If there is a laundry room for facilities, it would be great, because in summer, there are more clothes that are sweaty and not washed. There is no laundry room or drying room for long stay, the hotel can change the operation strategy. There are also bath towels that are disposable, although convenient but very thin, and the experience is not good.

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.

Very good experience. The owners are friendly and provide pick up at the gate entrance. Pretty courtyard and the owners shared a lot of information on where to eat / shop at. Would definitely recommend this guesthouse to those wanting to visit Pingyao.

Extremely happy with my stay here!
Room is very spacious and clean, and I was within walking distance to most of the attractions and restaurants.
The staff here are very friendly and they always went out of their way to make my experience in Datong memorable! I'm especially grateful because the manager showed me how to order food from local restaurants using my phone and get it delivered straight to my room!
10/10!!

Guest UserTerrible! I strongly object to secretly leaving positive reviews using a customer's phone. I will definitely leave a positive review if asked, but doing so secretly is going too far. I stayed two nights and placed two separate orders. The first night, I arrived at the hotel at 11 PM, and the door lock wouldn't lock, and the security zipper was missing. The staff tried to fix it, but couldn't. I had to make do for the night without being able to change rooms. The second night, I called to ask for a room change, and they readily agreed and even gave me a gift (two bags of cold noodles and three drinks). My stay was very pleasant. On the third day, when I checked out, the front desk, perhaps afraid of leaving a bad review, asked me to leave a positive review. I said okay, I was in a rush to catch my flight, I'd leave it later. The front desk then said, ”Could you please pull up your Ctrip order so I can check it?” When I handed the phone back, I saw them tap it and return it to me. I realized they had left a positive review. I was in a hurry to get to the airport and didn't have time to leave one. I find this behavior very offensive. Do they treat their customers like dirt? This is the first time I've encountered such an employee among all the Manxin stores nationwide. Shouldn't we improve the quality of our employees?

The place is very clean, and the environment is really cozy, making for a very comfortable stay. The shower pressure is fantastic, I'm very satisfied, it's such great value! The staff (specifically, a young lady) was very welcoming and even thoughtfully prepared breakfast for us. Five-star recommendation!
