"This guesthouse truly embraces a wonderful sense of traditional cultural heritage. The service is excellent, and I highly recommend it. Its location is superb, situated right near the Bell Tower and adjacent to Huayan Temple and the Daiwang Mansion Scenic Area. There are also many restaurants nearby, such as 'San Dao Cai', making dining very convenient. The service is incredibly thoughtful and personalized, and they provide a delicious breakfast. What truly stands out is that the guesthouse itself feels like a small museum; staying here offers an extraordinary experience, making it an excellent choice for any traveler."

"I just moved into this hotel on 10 July 2025. The looks of the hotel was spacious. The crew and manager was friendly too. I had difficulty in booking some itenary that was in Beijing as it needed their number and they were friendly in assisting my request. The room when I entered was as I expected spacious and nicely designed, and the scenery was good. I like the tea set that was on the table set upon the tatami mat. It feel comfortable and I just seat there and brew myself some tea enjoying the window scenery. The breakfast was nice and tasty. Glad that I have chosen here. Will stay there again if I come to Datong."

"For anyone visiting Datong, I wholeheartedly recommend this guesthouse! It was the perfect first stop on my Shanxi trip, and the experience was superb. It truly operates at a high hotel standard; the attention to detail in the rooms was exceptional, even providing mouthwash and laundry detergent. Overall, from its prime location and beautiful interior to the impeccable service from the front desk ladies, everything was faultless. It's clear the owner runs this place with immense dedication and care. Both the exterior and room decor are incredibly stylish. The front desk staff and even the cleaning team were all incredibly friendly and helpful. From the airport pickup upon arrival to their help with luggage near the guesthouse, every detail was so thoughtful. During my stay, the front desk ladies were wonderfully accommodating, often assisting with packages and food deliveries. At checkout, I even received a lovely local Shanxi vinegar as a souvenir. In short, I highly recommend it. Should I return to Datong, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again."

"When traveling around the world, most people choose Holiday Inn, and this time I did not disappoint with the Datong branch. Even though it was a little pricey during the short holiday, the price/performance ratio was still acceptable.
Facilities: The hotel was newly opened in 2024, with large rooms and new facilities. It has a projection screen, a food delivery robot, and a shower, toilet and sink that are separated. Because the room is large enough, it does not seem cramped.
Hygiene: The bedding, towels, etc. are all brand new and cleaned every day.
Environment: It takes about ten minutes by taxi from Datong South Station. The location is good and it is easy to call a taxi during short holidays.
Service: Service is the highlight of the hotel. Before check-in, a staff member will call to confirm the information and provide butler service, handling various issues throughout the process. The staff in check-in, dining, cleaning, etc. are very serious and responsible, and the experience is very good.
Disadvantages: There are not many choices of dishes in the Chinese restaurant, and there is no dining in, only private rooms and delivery; there is no decoration smell in the room but there is a little smell in the toilet, but the room can be ventilated by opening the window."

"A truly wonderful stay! I absolutely adored the traditional courtyard house. The owner's meticulous attention to detail was evident in the decor, with all the furniture crafted from genuine solid mahogany. The room amenities gave a very homely feel, featuring a solid wood bed, wardrobe, table and chairs, and a daybed. The toilet and shower were separate, and it even had a smart toilet. Everything was impeccably clean. Breakfast was fantastic! We received an incredibly warm welcome, making us feel like family."

"I had the most beautiful time in Datong, and a big part of that was due to my stay at Renyi Inn! First of all, the host is so kind and friendly. She always greets you with a smile. She even brought fresh watermelon for free everyday to my room :) more importantly, the whole hotel as well as the room we're super clean. The interior was so beautifully traditional. And it's only a 3min walk away from the major temple and all the main shopping streets. If you stay in Datong (which you definitely should, it has so much to offer), stay at Renyi Inn!"

"1The two days spent in this B&B were the most unforgettable time of this trip. The room is clean and well-equipped, and the owner's care and taste can be seen in every corner. What impressed me most was the ancient wall of the small courtyard. Drinking a cup of tea and reading a book there in the morning was simply a great enjoyment in life. Highly recommended to all friends who pursue quality and comfort.
2When I first arrived at this B&B, I was deeply attracted by its unique design style. The boss and employees are very enthusiastic. The design style is designed by a Japanese designer and incorporates Chinese thangka art. The boss's collection of thangkas are all hand-painted by Regong, and each thangka is considered to be a high-quality product. Standing in front of thangka, I feel that the whole world has become quiet, and my soul seems to have returned. This is not only a place to stay, but also a good place for people to relax and find their spiritual self.
3 I have always believed that the meaning of travel is not only to see the scenery, but more importantly to experience life. In this B&B, I found such an experience. From the decoration design in the room to the layout of each thangka, every detail makes people feel warm and clean. If you are looking for a place to rest your soul, this is definitely your first choice.
This B&B left a deep impression on me. It not only has a beautiful environment, but also feels like home. You can explore the ancient city during the day and enjoy the warmth of home when you return to the B&B at night. In particular, the mattress and pillows were extremely comfortable and ensured a good night's sleep.
This is a B&B full of charm and peace of mind. From the moment you check in to the time you leave, every moment feels like you are in a Zen world. Whether it is the internal layout of the room or the design of the external environment, they fully demonstrate the owner's extremely high aesthetic level and intention. If you want to find a spiritual home while traveling, I highly recommend this place."

"The room was clean and spacious. To be honest, I didn't expect the homestay to be so comfortable, better than the hotel experience, the breakfast is also very intimate, will ask what you want to eat, give you the small wontons below, and the local characteristics can eat ~ The pick-up and drop-off service has nothing to say, really recommend!"

"Very satisfied with the whole trip
The room is very quiet and clean. It is within walking distance of the core scenic spots. The Dai Wangfu is right next to it, Huayan Temple is a 15-minute walk, and the Nine Dragon Wall is about an 8-minute walk. I think it's not bad. The main point is that the boss is very good, warm and thoughtful.
The station drop-off service is very convenient.
Also, it’s close to several delicious restaurants!
No wonder Datong’s food is delicious. The King of Dai back then brought over a hundred top chefs to Datong to take up their posts."

"The hotel is quite new, featuring high-end, clean, and comfortable rooms with great beds. The staff was friendly and attentive, offering free water, which was a nice touch. The breakfast was enjoyable, although the international options were somewhat limited. Given that most guests were Chinese, this was understandable. The coffee was excellent, which was definitely a highlight.
The hotel’s location just outside the city was convenient, especially since many attractions are located nearby. However, the only downside was that the hotel felt a bit too warm, maintaining a temperature around 25°C. This seemed to be a common concern among other guests as well. Overall, it was a pleasant stay in a comfortable setting."

GGuest UserThe most surprising thing about this trip was choosing this B&B! The boss is very enthusiastic. He took the initiative to contact us before check-in and informed us of the route and surrounding tips in detail. When we arrived, he personally greeted us at the door, helped us carry our luggage upstairs, and introduced the local characteristics and hidden attractions along the way like a friend. The next morning, she personally cooked a hot breakfast for us and even planned our transportation. She truly met our every request!
The B&B environment is impeccable! The room is clean and tidy, the decoration style is warm and tasteful, and the bedding is so soft that it feels like sleeping on a cloud. The most surprising thing is the small garden in the yard, which is surrounded by green plants and has a swing chair. It is very healing to sit and watch the stars at night. The bathroom is fully equipped with supplies, even moisturizing body lotion is thoughtfully prepared, perfect details!
Living here is like living at home. I highly recommend it to friends who want to experience a human touch when traveling! I will definitely stay here next time~

GGuest UserThe two-day and one-night short trip decided on at the last minute was made even better by the unexpected accommodation experience. Each room type has its own characteristics. The housekeeper patiently introduced each room type. The family room we chose was perfect for a family of three. It had a double bed and a single bed, making it the most comfortable trip with a baby. The housekeeper service was very considerate, warm and thoughtful. Fruits and freshly ground coffee were prepared, and there was mutton offal for breakfast!

PPaul KruseCertainly! Here’s your hotel review:
I had an incredible stay at Tangfang Courtyard in Datong, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment my girlfriend and I arrived, we were warmly welcomed by 刘 (Liu), who made us feel right at home. She was incredibly friendly and helpful, always available to assist with any questions we had throughout our stay—her hospitality truly elevated our experience.
The hotel itself is a charming blend of coziness and comfort. The rooms were spotless and well-maintained, with a wonderful atmosphere that made it easy to relax after a day of sightseeing. The entire property exudes warmth and character, offering a peaceful retreat in the heart of Datong.
One of the best aspects of the Tangfang Courtyard is its location. It’s perfectly situated for exploring the old city, with many attractions within walking distance. We enjoyed wandering through the narrow streets and discovering the rich history of the area.
Another highlight was the fresh breakfast offered each morning. It was a lovely way to start the day, with a variety of delicious options to choose from.
Overall, our stay was nothing short of fantastic, and I would highly recommend Tangfang Courtyard to anyone visiting Datong. The combination of excellent service, great location, and cozy ambiance made it a perfect choice for our trip.
Let me know if you’d like any adjustments!

AAnonymous User1. The hotel is located in an apartment building about 600 meters from Datong Station. You need to search carefully. There is a shopping mall nearby, which is very convenient.
2. The service attitude at the front desk of the hotel is very good, and they answer questions with a smile throughout the process.
3. The overall area of the room is relatively spacious, and the room layout and lighting are very scientific. The bathroom is separated from wet and dry, and disposable towels and bath towels are provided, which is very convenient.
4. I forgot to take a photo, but it is not much different from the pictures on Ctrip, and the hygiene is very good.

GGuest UserThis is a fantastic B&B, branded ”Huazhu,” with attentive service and excellent quality. It's very close to the city wall, making it easy to get around, as bicycles and electric scooters are available for rent downstairs. The front desk lady was very nice and attentive, and free Tremella and Pear Soup, lemonade, and coffee were available in the lobby. While the rooms aren't very large, they're well-designed, with separate wet and dry areas and a walk-in closet, making them very convenient. Most notably, the smart air conditioning system ensures quiet operation and excellent cooling, allowing for a restful night's sleep. The breakfast is also unique, with a nine-square grid layout, each with its own unique character, catering to the elderly, children, and those craving sliced noodles. A small gift of local specialties was also given upon departure. My family said they'd stay again next time! ✅
P.S. The snacks and fruit in the pictures below are complimentary!

GGuest UserThe location is superb, right within the ancient city. For those driving, parking is available at the Nine Dragon Wall parking lot, just a 100-meter walk away. Despite being in a tourist area, it offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. Guandi Temple is also conveniently located nearby. The service was excellent, and breakfast was quite good too. Both the owner and the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. Although the May Day holiday prices were significantly higher than usual, the convenience made it completely worthwhile. Highly recommended!

GGeorgeI was greeted with a fruit platter during check-in, which was a wonderful welcome gesture considering I left my home about 24 hours earlier, traveling non-stop from California to Datong, China. The Inn provides a wonderful experience for the first-time foreign visitor. The interior decor has that Chinese charm consisting of artwork, a book display, an aquarium with an auspicious collection of 8 large fishes (carp, I think), in-room tea set with an on-table electric stove, which would be unique to most Westerners. The glass flooring adds an extraordinary appeal since I have never experienced that in a hotel before, and I have traveled to dozens of countries.
The Inn is well located, a short bus ride to Datong Railway Station (for non-high-speed rail travel)*, and a short taxi ride to Datong South Railway Station (for high-speed rail travel)**. It is just next to Datong City Wall. You can walk along the top of the City Wall at no cost. A 10-20 minute walk takes you to nearly all the attractions within the ancient City Wall. Here you will also find a variety of restaurants serving local food as well as souvenir shops. There is also a small shop that sells sundry items including drinks (beer included) within a 5-minute walk from the Inn. Across from this sundry shop, is a shop that specializes in ancient Chinese clothing (Hanfu dress). They can dress you up, cosmetics included.
The Inn provides directions to Yujian Yun Gang - a popular destination for travelers to Datong. Here you will see ancient Buddhist cave art, including large and tall (several stories tall) sculptures. It takes two bus rides to get there, 1RMB per ride.
My booking choice was for either a guest room on the 1st or 2nd floor but was assigned a wonderful 2nd-floor guest room.
The owners of the Inn were exceptionally friendly. I met both the mother and her daughter. My room was professionally cleaned and provided with drinking bottled water daily.
If I return to Datong in the future, I will certainly book a room at this Inn.

Very Good
黄黄善博The hotel was the priciest that we stayed at during our 45 days in China, though the beds, space, and bathroom were the nicest out of them all. For the price, I would’ve hoped that the staff would’ve been a bit more helpful—no elevator and many bags to carry up the three flights of stairs was really quite difficult. The staff also don’t speak any English at all, and my friend doesn’t speak any Chinese, and we didn’t really understand that you needed to put down a deposit of 100rmb that would then be refunded to you (or that they needed a Chinese phone number too; I didn’t have one, and as a foreigner traveling through China, if I had been by myself or didn’t know or have any Chinese friends with Chinese numbers, I would’ve been unable to check-in).
The hotel was very nice nonetheless. Fantastic location, very close to everything. The walk to the old city wall took about an hour, and would’ve been a ten minute taxi ride. The street the hotel is located on is full of lots of local shops and restaurants, and feels very lively during the day. The staff was also very friendly and enjoyed speaking with the foreigner at the hotel (although I had some trouble understanding the Shanxi accent! Jin Chinese is not my strongest!).
The WiFi was a bit slow. But the beds were incredible. Huge, clean, soft. Pillows were lovely. Bathroom was huge. Just wish there’d been a bit more service from the front desk. Was a tad weird to get up at 5:50am to go to the Hanging Temple 悬空寺, which is very normal, to see the woman at the front desk asleep… it was fine, but still a bit weird.

GGuest UserThe location of the hotel is perfect. It is the right place to stay when visiting the Hanging Temple and Jin Temple. The room and bed are large, especially suitable for bringing children. It is no problem for a family of three to stay in a big bed. The bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas. The breakfast is also very good. Overall, it is very cost-effective.
LLuisGMNice breakfast and good location, easily accesible from the city center and the station. Hotel and rooms look luxurious and the front desk staff is very helpful and attentive. Nice breakfast with a lot of options, both Western and Chinese. Definitely a place to come back!
