GRAND PAVILION HOTEL ★★★
"Overall it's OK, here are the shortcomings: 1. The electric curtains opened and closed several times for no apparent reason. 2. I called to ask for an extra quilt, but it wasn't delivered. 3. The breakfast coupons were only given for the first day, and they said they would deliver the breakfast coupons for the second day to the room, but they didn't, so we had to get them ourselves. 4. The bathtub didn't have a disposable cover. 5. There was a girl at the front desk who had a bit of a sour face. 6. No souvenirs were given when checking out (other guests did when checking out) The hardware is pretty good, but the shortcomings are as above. I won't come again, I can give it a score of 70."

Howard Johnson Plaza Jindi ★★★★★
"The hotel staff were incredibly accommodating. They upgraded us to a family room, and the breakfast spread was fantastic, offering a great mix of local Shanxi specialties and Western options. We wanted to extend our stay in the same room, but it wasn't available. However, the lobby staff went above and beyond to arrange a king-size room for us. While it was a bit pricier, it felt completely worth it. The TV was a little small, but the rewind function was a great bonus, allowing us to catch up on shows."

OKDAY Hotel (Datong Ancient City, Huayan Temple, Datong) ★★★★
"The hotel is indeed new and technologically advanced, but I found it a bit far from the main tourist attractions; it looks closer on the map. I had difficulties checking in because no one at reception spoke English, and I didn't like that they put me in a room in the basement, without a nice view from the window."

Dadan Hotel ★★★
"Stayed here for 3 days while visiting Datong. The room was spotlessly clean and well-ventilated, with no strange smells. The bedding was soft and comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. There's a convenience store downstairs, and it's a short, direct taxi ride to all the attractions, which saved a lot of time. Overall, it was a very comfortable stay. The front desk staff were all lovely young ladies who provided very attentive service. I highly recommend staying here if you're visiting!"
