Hotels With Spa in Shanxi, China

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!

We spent out last night of our trip at Kempinski Taiyuan, and it did not disappoint. The receptionist upgraded up to a room on a high floor with a view of the city. They also gave us fresh fruits and free minibar. They had everything you would expect of a five star hotel, and the location is in a bustling part of the city. Would definitely come back.

Even though the hotel's facilities are a bit dated, the service and food are absolutely on point! The breakfast was the absolute highlight! Seriously, you're missing out by not promoting it more! The knife-cut noodles (better than any chain restaurant – get the original flavor, trust me!) are a must-try. The tofu vermicelli, kuailai (a local dish), and lamb offal vermicelli are all pretty much on par with what you'd find at good to excellent local restaurants. All the side dishes are quite refined and the ingredients are top-notch. For example, the stir-fried bok choy had very few stems and was incredibly tender! The broccoli and baby corn were also very refreshing! The variety is excellent, with both Chinese and Western options, as well as local specialties. Noodles are made fresh on the spot. It really met my expectations for a high-end hotel breakfast. Facilities: It's an older hotel, so the facilities are indeed a bit dated. Cleanliness: I prefer to wipe things down with my own wipes, but it all seemed pretty clean. Environment: Close to the ancient city and Parkson (a department store), the surroundings are nice, but room soundproofing is just okay. Service: Warm and attentive. Single bathhouse ticket: A Northern-style public bath. Late-night congee service: Didn't try it, no delivery available.

The front desk staff were very friendly and patient, answering all my questions. They even upgraded my room. The mattress was comfortable, and the two pillows, one firm and one soft, were also quite comfortable. The hotel's location is good, with many restaurants nearby and plenty of parking. The soundproofing in the room and hallway was decent. The only downside is the soundproofing of the windows. Near the Red Star Macalline shopping mall, taxis often wait for fares at night, honking their horns loudly when they need to enter or exit. The sound rises between the two buildings, and even with all the windows closed, the sound is as loud as if the windows were open, making life unbearable for residents on higher floors. I thought the higher floors, being away from the street, would be quiet, but the constant barrage of taxi honking, slamming car doors, loud noises, and rain is unbearable. I have to get up early to travel today... I barely slept a wink last night.

Hygiene: Excellent. All towels, bath towels, and bathrobes come in sealed bags, which made me feel very secure using them. Facilities: Excellent. Although it's an older hotel, the showerheads show their age but are very well-maintained and work perfectly. Environment: The location is great. The room card gives access to a small gate leading to Yingze Lake Park. It's a nice two to three-kilometer loop for a leisurely stroll. Service: Excellent. They offered complimentary welcome fruits, and you just scan a QR code to request more amenities. There's also a delivery robot that brings food right to your door, all very convenient. Suggestion: I hope they can switch from instant Nestlé coffee to pour-over coffee bags. Instant coffee feels too low-end and doesn't match the hotel's overall quality.

Excellent! First, let's talk about the location. It's centrally located in Datong, very close to attractions like Huayan Temple, Shanhua Temple, and the Nine-Dragon Wall, all within walking distance. Dining is also very convenient, with several restaurants recommended on Xiaohongshu nearby. Next, the service. As expected of an established hotel, the service is incredibly professional and enthusiastic. The doorman will help you carry your luggage to your room. I even saw them squatting down to meticulously wipe the entrance clean – truly dedicated, especially in this cold weather! Finally, I must mention the hotel's dining. The dishes come in small portions, and the service is very fast. All the recommended dishes are delicious, and the ambiance is first-class. My only regret is having such a small appetite! The breakfast buffet is also exquisite! And the complimentary bathhouse tickets were a great bonus. There are two pools with comfortable water temperatures and very clean water. The scrub masseur was also very professional. I stayed at the Garden Hotel for all 4 days of my trip to Datong, experiencing both buildings A and B, and both were great. Although building B doesn't include meals, it felt a bit newer than building A. This is the first time I've written such a detailed review, but it's genuinely excellent, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Datong!

This time I chose Jinhe Health Hotel because it is a high-scoring hotel on the Internet. I feel very satisfied, especially when we went up to the floor, there were enthusiastic service staff to greet us at nearly one o'clock in the evening. After entering the room, the room was very clean, and snacks and fruits were delivered. Especially the service of the staff was very heartwarming. Supervisor Ji and Wang Haixia are really two very good employees of Jinhe. At 8 o'clock the next morning, the staff called to remind me to have breakfast and told me which floor the restaurant was on. I happened to meet the service staff in the corridor and asked me. I found out that the call was from Wang Haixia, the service staff who delivered snacks last night. She was really good and very touching. The two excellent employees made me feel full of happiness. Next time I come to Datong, I will choose Jinhe Health Hotel again.

The environment is very good. It is really beautiful to go in this season. The space capsule is not bad to live in. The air is also very good. The space capsule is smart home. I will go there next time. Very suitable for falling in love and traveling as a couple. Quiet and hygienic. There are flowers everywhere. It’s beautiful to take pictures. It’s comfortable to live in. Fruits are also given.

The hotel is in a great location. There are lots of local restaurants downstairs, and there's also the Wanda Mall. I chose this hotel because I stayed there when it first opened. The front desk staff was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. I even got an upgrade. However, the room was much less clean this time. There was hair all over the bathroom bar, and the large shower head didn't work. This is something a five-star hotel shouldn't have. I hope you'll pay attention to this.

The service provided by Xiao Yang at the front desk was very good, I liked it very much, the room facilities were complete and the environment was very good 👌 I will choose InterContinental Hotel again when I come back from Mount Wutai next time. The overall service was excellent, the breakfast was also very good, and the service provided by the concierge Zhang Jing was very good, an excellent concierge brother
