Hostels in Shanxi, China

"For solo travelers, staying in this hostel is a great option. If you can't find the address, brothers can navigate here using Amap or Baidu Maps. Facilities: There are showers and toilets. Disposable toilet seat covers and single-use toiletries are provided. The rooms have air conditioning. A friendly reminder: the power bank on the bed is not yours, so please don't take it away. There are also computers available for use. Hygiene: Good. Staff spray disinfectant in the rooms. Environment: Quiet and comfortable. No one is shouting or making excessive noise."

"For the price, it was everything you need! Clean spaces, comfortable capsule bed, drinking water, towels and shower slippers. The location is a 20 minute bike ride away from the ancient city center, but there are plenty of supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The hostel provides earplugs which significantly increase comfort of sleep, as the floors are quite squeaky. I am very happy with my stay and would come back again!"

"Very nice hotel with good environment near the airport"

"This hostel is very good! Friendly service and all help with questions. The location is also good, located a stone's throw from the city wall. Historical building with nice decorations. Friendly house dog that comes to meet you barking happily."

"This was my solo vacation, and the only stop on my itinerary in Datong was a youth hostel. Although it's called a youth hostel, there's a reason I chose to extend my stay. The price-performance ratio was extremely good; considering the overall accommodation price and the hostel's facilities, I found it quite satisfactory. Booking through a third-party platform, an eight-person male dorm was about 35 yuan per night, and it even had a special offer for military personnel (see picture for details). The welcome package upon check-in was generous, including shower gel, shampoo, laundry detergent, bottled water, disposable toothbrush and toothpaste (though I didn't use these), disposable towels, and earplugs—everything you needed! I could even use the washing machine during my stay, and surprisingly, there was a dryer too—a big plus! Personal shoes weren't allowed in the room, which prevented any unpleasant odors. However, it's worth noting that you need to bring your own gloves and three-piece set, and be aware that your roommate might snore, engage in nighttime activities, or even be mindful of your belongings. Consider these factors before checking in. Overall, I personally think this youth hostel is very good."

"I came to Datong and stayed here for three days. Downstairs is the antique street of the ancient city. It is very close to Huayan Temple. It is very convenient for shopping and eating. It is a youth hostel run by an old couple with a very good attitude. There are also two big oranges in the store, one is a relative and the other is aloof, which is very nice~"

"The hostel just opened last year, the facilities are very new, the bed is big, the boss is very talkative, chatting a lot of historical and cultural knowledge, very beneficial. When I left, the boss gave a postcard and had the opportunity to stay again next time. Forgot to take the picture of the hostel and send two pictures of the scenery to make up."

"The overall feeling is very good, affordable and comfortable. There are a lot of people staying in it, and there are also permanent residents. There are many people but the environment can be kept quiet. In addition, on the 3rd floor, the first and second floors are shops, so there will be a large yard, you can go for a walk, you will not feel depressed. The only downside is that the bathroom drainage is not very good. I am a quadruple room (no air conditioning, there is the fan in the picture) and lived for nearly 10 days, and 6 people (air conditioning) lived for 1 day."

"There are two bathrooms. When there are many people, you have to wait, and you need to prepare everything by yourself. The four-person room I rented at the time couldn't stay up late anyway, because I could hear someone snoring clearly at night, and I couldn't sleep. So a reminder that you need to bring your own earplugs."

"The room is spacious and clean, and the bed sheets and quilt covers are also very clean. The facilities are relatively complete, and the location is very close to the train station, which is within walking distance and very convenient. Super cost-effective!"
