The name says it all..." State Guesthouse" underplays the grandeur of this hotel, a magnificent facility in magnificent surroundings.

The hotel was famous and adjacent to a tourist attraction. The service was nice, except for a young male driver (for the commuting car that connected the hotel's buildings and the tourist attraction's gate), who seemed a bit reluctant or tired at work and lacked communication skills or etiquette (since the hotel claimed itself to be a five star hotel, it is not uncommon for guests to have higher expectations than elsewhere). It is said that the hotel was built in the 1950s. Thus, it was not surprising that many facilities seemed relatively old, especially when compared with newer hotels. Overall, the hotel could be a good choice.

This time I took my parents with me and spent two days in Taiyuan. Stayed in Jinci State Guesthouse. We are very satisfied with the environment, service, meals, facilities, etc. I hope more people can visit Jinci Temple. The hotel provides shuttle bus service for the convenience of the elderly and children. All in all, very satisfied!

This hotel is not recommended. I booked it because it is close to Jinci Temple. They have a shuttle bus that takes them to the door between Jinci Temple and the hotel. It is not sent to the main gate. If you need a tour guide, you have to go back to the south gate to ask for one. I sincerely The advantages of this hotel are wasted. The hotel facilities are aging, the water in the wash basin is not good, and the sanitary conditions are very poor. There are hairs on the bed. I asked them to change beds, but I found that there were hairs on the other bed again. After staying for two nights, the sink was not cleaned the next day. , I really don’t recommend it.

The environment is beautiful, but the waiters are quite arrogant. The rooms are spacious, but the indoor facilities are relatively old. The sun is quite strong on the third floor and the air conditioner is not very cool. After the hotel sent someone to fix it to no avail, they upgraded me to a suite. I feel that the upper floors of the hotel are a little more user-friendly. I have stayed at this hotel many times before, but I will not choose this hotel again after this time.

The area and garden landscape of this state guesthouse are worthy of the title of state guesthouse. And it has a unique geographical advantage, being only separated from royal gardens such as Jinci Temple by a wall. Of course, the decoration of the room is aging (otherwise it would not be the current price, how many so-called luxury hotels have such a garden investment and geographical advantage). I would like to praise the little brother of the battery car and the sister of the waiter at the water bar in the lobby. I returned to the hotel around 10 o'clock last night and saw that the lobby bar was still open. On a whim, I said I wanted to buy ice cream and ice water for my children. My sister said that there was no supply of these two things at this time, but asked me to wait. After making a phone call, a little brother picked me up at the entrance of the lobby in a battery car and pulled me from Building No. 9 to near the staff dormitory. He took me to a canteen owned by the staff and bought the snacks and ice cream that the children wanted. , ice water. The little brother was polite all the way, helped me with things, and proudly explained to me the history and scenery of the State Guesthouse, as well as the attractions around Jinci Temple that are worth visiting. It was past 10 o'clock in the evening, and I wanted to buy some snacks to enjoy this kind of VIP service. I have stayed in so many hotels and never enjoyed this one before. We must praise the little brother of the battery car and the sister of the water bar in the lobby last night.

晉祠國賓館的規模是有的,服務品質也是上乘的,衹是還具有前進的空間,例如盥洗室的沐浴設備非常老舊,實在不符合“國賓館”的名聲,建議賓館的負責人去杭州西子賓館看看人家的設備,這裏沒有一次性擦眼鏡紙,沒有漱口液,沒有剔牙的縫隙刷,沒有一次性浴缸套,三個人給一小卷衞生紙似乎有點考慮不周,一次性刮鬍刀是單刃而非雙刃木把,一次性牙刷的刷頭太大,很多小嘴的人刷不到口腔裡邊,應該選擇小頭牙刷,比較大眾化,落後社會潮流,必須趕上時代的潮流,一般來説,要花些錢,要破財。特別是人性化的服務 還需要真正的五星級酒店,例如萬豪,四季酒店學習,迎接山西的旅遊新高潮。 床頭沒有電源插座,在當今手機不離手的時代,不太正常。還有,所有床的對面都是鏡子🪞,這不太符合中國人的習慣。 酒店的早餐還是比較豐富的,唯獨沒有的是世界標配的紅茶,如果想與世界看齊,那就添上紅茶,紅茶具有普遍性,當然紅茶一定要用帶把的瓷質的紅茶(咖啡)杯而非玻璃杯(燙手燙嘴)人們都可以接受為佳。 由於貴賓管地處偏僻,考慮遊客的需求(全國各地)應該設立一個山西特產小賣部,以便遊客離開的時候選擇禮品帶走(或者快遞迴家),還有國賓館自製酸奶點心都可以隨時供應遊客選擇。 據我們瞭解,五星級酒店是不查房的,可是我們見識了貴酒店的風格,我們乘出租車🚕離開酒店在去火車站的路上,接到酒店詢問電話,問我們看到了酒店的洗衣袋,莫名其妙,我們怎麼會拿一個洗衣袋走呢?為此,所有的好印象全無,打這個電話,能達到什麼目的?匪夷所思!

賓館總體很不錯,環境優美,面積很大,房間設施齊全,很高很大,住的很安靜舒適。去晉祠來回都有擺渡車服務,唯一不好的是早餐人多時服務跟不上,下了碗餛飩,下餛飩的男服務員面無表情,也不應聲,説了幾遍才給下,下好了也不喊一聲,等2分鐘回來被人先拿走了,一會又説下好給送來,結果等了十幾分鍾也沒見送來,一問原來又給忘了,有點混亂。
