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.

1. The room was good, and the pillows were comfortable, but the shower knob wouldn't switch, making showering very inconvenient. 2. The service at this five-star hotel is impeccable, and they even provided complimentary welcome fruit. 3. The breakfast was also very rich and varied. It was my first time having congee in such a large bowl – truly impressive! 😁😁 However, the cleanliness of the dining tables could be improved; they weren't wiped down very well. I hope this issue can be addressed. 4. I saw comments in the Q&A section mentioning a shuttle bus from the hotel to the Yungang Grottoes, but after asking, it turns out there isn't one. 5. My last point is for Trip.com. On the day of arrival, I checked and found that the hotel's price was lower than what I had booked. I reported it to Trip.com, and they immediately refunded the difference, which was very efficient.

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.

Honestly, the Superior Twin Room is perfectly fine. The Deluxe rooms are just bigger than the Superior ones, but there's no other difference, and the extra space isn't really utilized. The hotel staff provided excellent service, the rooms were very clean, and the food was delicious (the braised pork, stir-fried pork slices, siu mai, and sweet and sour meatballs were all outstanding). I especially liked the buckwheat pillows in each room; they're perfect for someone like me who can't sleep on high pillows. The front desk gave everyone a beautiful souvenir map. Even when retrieving our bags, the bellhop quickly came over and hurried to assist, which shows that the Garden Hotel treats its employees well, as their professionalism and enthusiasm for service are exceptional. There are several popular internet-famous restaurants around the hotel. You can go down to get a number during meal times, then come back to the hotel and relax, and head back down when your number is called an hour or two later. No need to wait outside the hotel in the cold. I have to recommend a hidden gem: a fried skewer shop near the hotel. It's incredibly tasty, even the coating on the quail eggs is crispy. The spa area is a bit small, with only two scrubbing stations and five showers, but the scrubbing service, massage service, and other assisted bathing services are all excellent and reasonably priced. The staff scrub very diligently. My family member said that the guy ahead of him, after asking about the prices, immediately declared he wanted every service! 😂😂😂 I feel like if I come back in the future, I'll still choose the Garden Hotel.

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
