Datong Homestays

"The room is spacious and bright, with a balcony. Both rooms have TVs and air conditioning. Parking is available. It is very quiet. It is more than 10 minutes' drive from Datong Ancient City. It is a quiet place in a bustling city. It is a four-person room. Slippers and bath towels are configured for two people. I guess they can provide them if you ask for them. It doesn't matter. It is a very good B&B."

"Had a fantastic stay! We booked the 'sky-light room,' which was very quiet, allowing us to sleep soundly until morning. The front desk attendant was incredibly warm and helpful; she brought ice packs for my wife's sprained ankle and even lent us a charging cable. The guesthouse is conveniently located directly across from the old town city wall entrance, where you can climb up for free to enjoy panoramic views of the ancient city."

"We had a wonderful trip, and my child absolutely loved all the little animals, especially Little Grey – so adorable! The location is also fantastic, right across from Huayan Temple. Whenever we came back, refreshing watermelon would be sent to our room, which was such a thoughtful touch! We accidentally left some underwear behind when we checked out, and the hotel immediately contacted us and helped mail it back. We're so grateful!!"

"Datong, the ancient city of Shanxi, welcomed me for three days out of my eight-day journey through the province. From the airport pickup and morning meals to the comfortable accommodation and car rentals, the hotel truly embodied the warmth and sense of belonging captured by the phrase 'Datong under heaven, one harmonious family.' The owner personally picked me up, and she was wonderful—elegant, cheerful, and incredibly welcoming. The room she arranged was clean, tidy, bright, and peaceful, making for a truly comfortable and relaxing stay. The breakfast options were perfect for a Cantonese palate, and they even had coffee available, which was a thoughtful touch."

"The location is super close to the ancient city, you can basically bike to all the attractions you want to see there. The environment is great, and the auntie cleans the common areas spotlessly every day. She's also very enthusiastic and gives recommendations for nearby sights. The facilities are complete, and I especially loved having multiple shower stalls! The female dorm even has a dedicated vanity area, which is amazing. The only small issue was that the Wi-Fi on part of the second floor of the female dorm was a bit spotty. I originally booked for four nights, but I loved Datong so much that I extended my stay for another night to get some good rest. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Datong!"

"During the May Day holiday, hotel prices in Datong were really high. This area is a newly developed guesthouse street, full of guesthouses, and this is one of them. It's all under the supervision of Datong, and the government seems to be managing it quite well. Overall, this place is relatively clean and offers either airport or train station pickup/drop-off service. We woke up too late for breakfast, so we didn't get to experience it. They also offer electric scooter rentals, which is very convenient. The only hiccup was that the staff on duty wasn't clear about our scheduled train station drop-off time, but thankfully, another staff member handled it promptly. Thumbs up for that! So, if you need a drop-off service, make sure to double-check the times with them."

"To be honest, this is the first time I have taken the initiative to write such a long evaluation, but as the first guest of Lanting Hot Spring B&B, there is really much to say about the experience. The following is my most true evaluation of feelings, it is never to delay 😂 On the evening of the 19th, I flew to Datong from Hangzhou. Because the plane was late, it was almost 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. I called the proprietress in advance and told the proprietress that the flight was late and needed to arrive late. The proprietress had been waiting for us at the hotel. Because the kitchen had not prepared meals after the opening, she specially asked someone to cook a bowl of hot instant noodles. Late at night a bowl of hot soup, the stomach warmed, the heart is also practical, that simple care than any welcome ceremony is real. It’s really not easy to take a taxi here. I have to do something the next day. The proprietress specially asked someone to drive us there. The red envelope was also confiscated. , I feel really embarrassed Focus on the weather in Datong. I came from Hangzhou. Hangzhou was really stuffy and hot in July. The body temperature felt fast at 40 degrees, and the body was always sticky. But as soon as I arrived in Datong on the evening of July 19, there was a dry cool breeze out of the airport, and I felt that the whole person was comfortable. At night, there was no window in the room, the wind wrapped in dry air and gently blown in, the cover was just right, and the air conditioner was not needed at all. I slept until dawn. In the morning, the skin is refreshing, and the hair is not as easy to oil as in Hangzhou. This dry summer night is really enjoyable for southerners. Let's talk about the room. The first feeling of pushing the door in is spacious, clean and comfortable. The overall decoration is the kind of simple log wind, the wall is warm white artistic paint, the floor is covered with light-colored wood brick, and it is not cold to step on barefoot. There are not many furniture, but everything is very textured - a big bed facing the floor-to-ceiling window, a rattan-made recliner by the window, a small coffee table next to it, a kettle and cups are placed in wooden trays, neat and neat. What surprised me most was that when the curtains were opened, I could see the quiet street view and the distant mountain shadow. The light came in during the day, and the whole room was warm. The bedding is made of cotton and hemp, it is very comfortable to sleep close to the body, the pillow is just soft and hard, it is also considered that I have stayed in so many hotels, and the experience is ranked in the top 10 😂 What I want to boast about most is the private soup in the room. The soup pool is embedded in a corner of the window. It is not big, just enough for two people to soak in side by side. When the water vapor is steaming, it has a special atmosphere. The boss was very sincere and told me directly that this was a real hot spring from the underground. A few kilometers next to it was a volcanic group. The water temperature was about 35 degrees, not hot or cold, and the whole person was loose from the shoulder to the sole of his feet when he soaked in. I soaked for about half an hour, and I could obviously feel that my skin was slippery. I was tired during the day and was soaked in hot water. The boss said that the water contained sulfur and metasilicate. After the soak, it was really transparent and I slept very heavily at night. And when you soak in the soup, you don't have to go out of the room, wear a bathrobe and walk two steps to get into the water, how long you want to soak for, this privacy and convenience is incomparable to the hotel's public pool. The decoration style of the whole homestay is also very unified. From the lobby to the corridor to the room, it is the kind of clean log with warm light, no fancy decoration, but every corner makes people feel comfortable and relaxed. The proprietress said that the design was her own eye, and it could be seen that it did take a lot of thought. The next morning, the proprietress came to ask if she slept well, talked a few words, and stuffed a small gift when she checked out. As the first guest, I was really a little drummed at first, but I found that the bedding was comfortable, hot water was sufficient, and soundproofed. I used my heart everywhere. If you are tired of the sticky summer in the south, want to find a quiet place to blow the dry wind, soak in real hot springs, it is worth a visit here. I am not dragging, this is the real feeling of the day from the 19th to the 20th. I wish the new store is getting better and better, I must try the dinner next time, hahahahaha"

"After a long search on Ctrip, I finally decided on this hotel. I was pleasantly surprised. The room was spotless, the whole place was smart, and even the water was provided with a bottled water dispenser. It was fantastic! The B&B is right next to Kuixing Tower, close to various attractions. It's a tranquil retreat, and the nights are incredibly quiet. After a day of sightseeing, I could rest peacefully without worrying about the surrounding noise. It truly is a peaceful escape within a bustling city. The front desk lady, the cook, and the cleaning lady were all very welcoming and attentive. On our last day, we had to catch a high-speed train and didn't have time for breakfast, so they even packed some for us to eat on the way. It truly made us feel at home. I've since recommended this to friends and colleagues, and I'll definitely stay here again when I visit Datong again."

"All amazing: the facilities, the hotel, the location, the breakfast... but if you have to put a downside on it, it would be the size of the room. My partner and I were carrying suitcases and there wasn't much room to leave them. In the room (at least the one we were in) only a large suitcase would enter well, but considering that it was a room for a couple and they usually carry 2 suitcases, it was really narrow. Point to keep in mind is that there is no elevator, so you'll have to carry your bags by hand to the room. The people who worked at the hotel were very friendly and helped us both to get them up and down. Hotel 100% recommended"
