Lao Chenggen Courtyard Homestay (Daiwangfu Store in Datong Ancient City)

We chose to travel during peak hours, and there were so many people that we couldn't even get a taxi when we arrived at the ancient city. But the lady at the B&B was super nice. She rode an electric scooter to pick me up despite the traffic jam. I was so touched! Thanks again! Later they also gave us suggestions for where to eat (but the restaurant was too crowded and they refused to accommodate us). Knowing that we wanted to go out for a stroll, they gave us two bicycles for us to wander around. It must be said that staying in the ancient city is really comfortable, the pace is slow, and the atmosphere is also very good. Thank you Mr. Liang Sicheng and Mayor Geng! It’s a pity that the time I stayed there was too short. Next time when I have free time, I will definitely come during the off-season to visit the Huayan Temple, Hanging Temple, etc.!

I highly recommend Lao Chenggen's city view room, which faces the north city gate and the city wall. The views vary in the morning and evening, and the price is worth it. I also like the location of the hotel. It is not as busy and complicated as the center of the ancient city, but it is very convenient and fast. Every important attraction in the ancient city can be reached in about 10 minutes on foot. The layout of the city-viewing room is extremely elegant, and it is very suitable for relaxing, burning incense and drinking tea after coming back from an outing. The breakfast for two provided by the hotel is also quite rich and healthy, definitely better than the general breakfast outside, with wontons, hand-rolled noodles, mutton offal noodles, and different ones every day. Before leaving the store, the store manager gave each guest a bag of organic millet produced in Shanxi and asked the store clerk to move our suitcases from the third floor to the gate of the courtyard. The service was meticulous and thoughtful. The five-star service is absolutely well deserved! 👍👍

The B&B is located in Renhefang, a 5-minute walk from the North City Wall. It is very suitable for climbing the city wall to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the ancient city. The B&B is very considerate to provide bicycles for guests, which are very convenient for riding to the Nine Dragon Wall and Dai Wangfu.

Inside the ancient city, the hotel's public areas are great, with a very comfortable Chinese style. You can drink tea and relax here. The store always prepares tea and snacks. The store provides bicycles🚲, which makes it very convenient to move around in the ancient city. We booked the room a little late, so we didn't get a big room. We hope to get a bigger room next time.

The room is very small. The price is really not worth it. I have inexplicable insomnia. I have never had this before. My friends who travel with me also feel uneasy and can't sleep. It's really strange.

Hygiene: The hygiene is quite poor. There are a lot of old dirt and food residues on the bed. Environment: In the ancient city, very quiet, but the sound insulation is very poor
