"This was, without a doubt, the most satisfying hotel of my trip to Shanxi. When I booked it, I saw some reviews saying the hotel was a bit old, which made me a little apprehensive. But once I arrived, I was immediately impressed by the strict and orderly management, and every staff member was incredibly dedicated. The room was exceptionally well-maintained, spotlessly clean, and all the facilities were new. The bed was very comfortable. The bath towels were sealed in bags, and the hand soap was from Herborist. The only minor point was that the TV was a bit small, but we didn't really mind. The breakfast was incredibly rich and delicious; both adults and children enjoyed it, and we even had ice cream. The hotel's swimming pool wasn't large, but it was very clean, and I swam there for two consecutive days. Yingze Park is right next door, and you can enter and exit with your room card. In the mornings, my child and I fed the fish and went for a run, experiencing the leisurely lifestyle of Taiyuan residents. It's also not far from Liuxiang Food Street, but we didn't walk there due to the rain, so we'll save that for next time. Overall, highly recommended!"

Hotel near Ancient City Tourist Cultural Area,Datong
"Facilities: The hardware and public areas were surprisingly good, with an amazing design that's perfect for photos. Hygiene: Excellent. Environment: Arrived in the early morning, it's located by the city wall, a very new ancient town. Service: The breakfast service was exceptionally good, and the evening receptionist handled issues promptly and to my satisfaction. However, service is this hotel's absolute Achilles' heel; I almost filed a complaint. I understand this guesthouse positions itself as a luxury design hotel, but luxury isn't just about the hardware. Especially for a guesthouse, to completely ignore pre-stay requests from guests – I wonder if it's arrogance due to high occupancy. I'm not giving a bad review because the hardware is excellent and the service from the staff I did interact with was indeed very good."

"This hotel is like a heavenly palace! And since it's the former Ming and Qing Imperial Examination Hall, it's definitely an experience worth having. We also had incredibly good luck on our trip! The Shanxi Restaurant usually only gives out 40 numbers per day for individual guests. We checked in after 7 PM, and the front desk staff was quite certain we wouldn't be able to eat there that day. We went over with the intention of just asking how to get a number for the next day, but as soon as we arrived, we were told they had added 10 extra numbers for that evening, and we got the very first one! We were led to our table within minutes! So happy!!! The staff giving out the numbers and the servers were all incredibly gentle and friendly. Shanxi Restaurant even put up a picture at the entrance, which made me like them even more!"

Hotel near Datong Fantawild Adventure/Wanda Plaza (Datong Shop),Datong
"I was pretty excited at first, but after staying for two nights, some issues became apparent, especially with the air conditioning. Even on the lowest fan setting, it was still very loud. When I returned to my room, I set the temperature as low as it would go, but the room temperature wouldn't drop. When I asked their engineering team to check it, they insisted the AC temperature had dropped. I mean, it was blowing at 16 degrees for two or three hours and the room stayed at 25 degrees – and they told me it had cooled down? They even said it was because I'm sensitive to heat. I'm speechless. I'm a grown man, and yes, I'm sensitive to heat, which is precisely why I needed it cooler. I felt sticky after every shower. They just pushed all the blame onto me. What exactly are you guys training your staff on?"

"The hotel's location is superb; it's the perfect choice for exploring the old city, with all the sights and great food nearby. The hotel is very clean, the restaurant food is delicious, and the staff provide excellent service. As I was traveling alone and wanted to try local specialties, the staff kindly reduced the portion sizes, which was great – tasty and no waste! The room facilities are new, but there's a minor issue: the sink and shower are in separate areas, and the bath towels are kept under the sink. This makes it inconvenient to grab a towel after showering. If you take it into the shower beforehand, there's nowhere to hang it. Perhaps a hook could be added?"

"First time in Yuncheng, and Novotel pleasantly surprised us! The front desk, restaurant, and room service were all excellent. Check-in was super quick. We booked two rooms, and they kindly arranged for them to be next to each other. They even gave us lots of snacks and fruit. It was Labor Day, so the hotel was really busy, but they opened an extra restaurant for breakfast during peak hours, which was great. The service there was just as good, showing their excellent contingency planning for busy times. Our rooms were cleaned promptly every day, and they replenished the 6 bottles of mineral water without fail. A very satisfying trip overall!"

Hotel near Ancient City Tourist Cultural Area,Datong
The ancient capital of China, Datong in the world, opens up the heavy historical scroll of Shanxi, and Pingcheng Datong is eye-catching. Pingchengfu is located in the courtyard of No. 34, No. 36 and No. 38, Lihuaijiao, Southeast City Historical and Cultural Street in Datong City. Its location is the location of the Imperial Temple and the Altar of the Soochow of the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Pingcheng period, and it was the core area of ​​the ritual system of the Northern Wei Dynasty at that time. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, it gradually became a residential block, and the traditional courtyard pattern has been retained to this day. Dongnanyi Historical and Cultural District is a key cultural and tourism development project in Datong City. It takes the construction concept of "inheriting historical context and retaining the atmosphere of the city". It took five years of restoration and reconstruction through protection, renovation, and repair. It was opened in 2023. The hotel's courtyard No. 38 is one of the reconstructed projects and is a representative traditional house in Southeast City. The historical brilliance of the ancient city streets and alleys has also brought new vitality and texture to the ancient city. First, let us understand the historical origin of Pingcheng Fu. Datong was called Pingcheng in ancient times. The Northern Wei Dynasty was established about 96 years (398-494), and this period was called the "Pingcheng Era". It is the center of politics, economy, religion and culture in northern China in the 4th to 5th centuries. Pingcheng Fu Hotel was grandly opened on July 21, 2025 and was released under this name, returning to the true nature of history and restoring the prosperous era of Pingcheng. There are three courtyards in the hotel, namely: Xuanpuyuan, Kusheju and Sangzhefang; there are 17 rooms in the hotel, all named after the Pingcheng period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, namely: Taihe, Dengguo, Tianxing, Tianci, Yongxing, Shenrui, Taiyan, Shiguang, Yanhe, Zhengping, Chengping, Tai'an, Xing'an, Tian'an, Xingguang, Heping, Huangxing, and Tian'an. The hotel relies on the cultural heritage of the three generations of Beijing and the important towns of the two dynasties to comprehensively enhance the value of the ancient city. Location: Pingcheng Fu is located in the southeast art district of Datong Ancient City. Walking distance to Huayan Temple, Jiulongbi, Daiwang Mansion, and Shanhua Temple. It takes 30 minutes to reach Yungang Grottoes and about 1.5 hours to reach Hanging Temple. It takes about 15 minutes to reach Datong South Station and about 30 minutes to reach Yungang International Airport.

"The environment was incredibly clean and quiet, and the facilities were very modern. The service was exceptionally attentive; the snacks and fruits were all to our taste, and breakfast had everything you could ask for. They frequently offered proactive reminders about complimentary services, and the airport shuttle was a huge plus. The staff, both male and female, were efficient, responsive, and incredibly polite and thoughtful, which made our stay very comfortable. We were extremely satisfied with our choice of hotel this time."

Xihe Academy Mansion

9.7/10

Posted on May 8, 2026

I did not want to leave. That is the most honest thing I can say about Xihe Academy. ”Guest house” is a label that does not prepare you for what this place actually is. If you are American and hearing that term for the first time, forget whatever image just came to mind. This is not a MIL suite tucked behind someone's garage. This is a fully realized, deeply considered experience wrapped inside one of the most stunning environments I have ever walked into. The courtyard alone stopped me mid-step. The surrounding area looks like an active film set -- you keep half-expecting to hear ”action” called from somewhere just off camera. And then you step inside and somehow it gets even better. I genuinely lost my words. The room is the kind of space where you realize someone has actually thought of everything. Included minibar. Fresh fruit and snacks. Loose-leaf tea so you can brew a proper cup. Bathrooms fully stocked down to the shower shoes. You can arrive with nothing but your clothes and be completely at ease. They have handled the rest. The staff made all of it feel personal. When a language barrier created a small miscommunication, they were patient and gracious without a flicker of frustration. When I joked that I had gone a little crazy shopping and could not close my suitcase, they immediately offered suggestions to help. That warmth is not a policy -- it lives in the people. They coordinate meals as well, and mine was delivered to my room and genuinely delicious. One thing I will say without hesitation: use their driver. This is a private, gated area and you cannot simply grab a random car or rideshare. Arrange your pickup from the train station or airport in advance -- it is seamless, affordable, and completely worth it. Do not skip this step. This was my first guesthouse experience, and Xihe Academy has set a bar I was not expecting to clear so soon. If you stay here, you will not regret it. Five stars is not enough.

We chose this hotel for our trip to Datong because it's so close to the ancient city, and we could even enjoy the night view from there. We booked a family suite which had two separate bathrooms. The room facilities, while a bit dated, were very clean. The concierge and room service were excellent; they helped us with our luggage upon check-in, and service was quick whenever we needed something for the room. The hotel also provided complimentary fruit, snacks, and rock sugar pear juice every day. Breakfast offered a great variety, combining Chinese and Western options, and included some delicious local Datong specialties. I have two suggestions for room improvements: first, the shower enclosure could use better waterproofing to prevent water from overflowing. Second, more power outlets are needed in the room, especially by the bedside, for guests to charge their devices.

The hotel's location is excellent, making it convenient for getting around. There's a high-end shopping mall right behind it, offering easy access to dining and shopping. However, the quality of the room's fixtures and fittings could be improved; the floor in my room had at least two hollow spots. Secondly, the breakfast quality noticeably declined on the second day of my stay during the holiday. Items like walnuts and dried cranberries were not refilled even by the time we finished and left. This is an objective review, and I hope for improvements.

A Sanctuary When I Needed It Most I arrived in Taiyuan not feeling well and ended up staying seven nights without ever leaving the room. Labor Day holiday, full DND stretches, just me and delivery apps. And honestly? It was exactly what I needed, and this hotel made it possible. Let me start with the moment that defined this stay. My housekeeper came in most days to refresh the room, and each time I'd ask for the same drinks. After a few days he just knew -- knew what I wanted, knew I wasn't feeling well. He'd heard me coughing while he cleaned and was clearly paying attention. On my last day, when I had DND up and didn't want any service at all, he quietly left a bag of my favorite drinks outside the door anyway. No knock, no disruption. Just a person who had been paying attention all week and wanted to take care of me. That kind of warmth doesn't come from a training manual. I won't forget it. The room itself held up beautifully for a long stationary stay. Clean, accurate to the photos, well-appointed. Floor-to-ceiling windows, two bathrooms, excellent shower pressure, generous storage, a proper tea set, and a beverage bar housekeeping kept replenished without being asked. The slippers were genuinely excellent -- better than some five-star properties I've stayed at. For seven nights of recovery during a national holiday, this hotel and its people delivered everything that mattered.

The breakfast was good, which is to be commended. There is no business district nearby, so it is not very convenient to eat.

I read a lot of reviews beforehand, which mostly mentioned terrible room conditions and unhelpful front desk staff. This prepared me for the worst, but when we arrived in the early hours of the morning, the staff member at the front desk was incredibly kind and friendly. We're a family of four, and they proactively upgraded our room. We had originally booked a Cloud Elegant Twin Room with two 1.35m beds, but they upgraded us to a Cloud Family Room with two 1.5m beds – what a pleasant surprise! We're so grateful. The room size is already quite generous, and both the indoor and outdoor environments are very quiet. The interior decor, even down to the corners, isn't as bad as some reviews suggested. As for the issue of yellow water, I didn't experience it during my two-night stay. The breakfast area is very nice, with a wide variety of dishes, including Shanxi specialties, and the food tastes good.

On this trip, after leaving my job, I've stayed in many places, but Datong was the most surprising city. It's full of historical sites, delicious food, and a vibrant, down-to-earth atmosphere. But what surprised me even more was the guesthouse I chose. I did extensive research and ultimately decided to stay within the ancient city, which turned out to be incredibly convenient for dining, lodging, and getting around. It was fantastic and perfectly suited me. Initially, I considered guesthouses in the Southeast District, but they were all new, and their styles were quite similar and unremarkable, much like guesthouses in other cities. So, I picked one with unique traditional Chinese characteristics, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The breakfast was exactly to my liking – nutritious and light. The room was warm and cozy, and the toiletry kit was amazing, with thoughtful items inside. Even though it's been in the ancient city for ten years, the decor and renovation show no sign of age; it's incredibly well-maintained. The housekeeper mentioned they had just upgraded all the rooms before my arrival, haha! 😄 This guesthouse truly helped my restless mind calm down. It felt like staying in a museum. The aunties and housekeepers working here told me stories about every single object and corner, which deeply moved me. This is what a guesthouse should be – unpretentious and full of stories. The biggest surprise this time was having the chance to meet the owner, a wonderful lady. She was so nice, I initially thought she was just another staff member; she had absolutely no airs. More importantly, her experiences and background are incredible – she does extreme sports and has even climbed Mount Everest! Talking with her made me feel so comfortable and helped me let go of a lot of things. Thank you for the encounter; it was truly destiny. This was the most unexpected gain from my trip to Datong, and I will definitely go back if I get the chance! It felt just like home, with no sense of unfamiliarity whatsoever.

Dude, I'm gonna strongly recommend Yunjincheng Mansion! It's got an awesome location, right in the heart of Pingyao Ancient City. You can just take a stroll to major attractions like Rishengchang Draft Bank. It's super convenient to get around. The century - old courtyard has that classic and elegant charm, so peaceful and refined. You can totally immerse yourself in the style of the Shanxi merchant compound. The guest rooms are clean, tidy, and comfy. The toiletries are really good, and the stay was great. They even gave us a foot - soaking bucket. How sweet is that! The breakfast has a wide variety. There are freshly - made hand - cut noodles, pure Shanxi aged vinegar brewed on the spot, and freshly - ground coffee that smells amazing and tastes so rich. The staff are friendly and polite, and their service is so detailed. The turn - down service at night really shows they care. I felt so comfortable throughout the stay. I'll definitely choose this place next time I come!
