"Ive just left the Inn and on the train to the next destination. I wish I could stay longer as this was such a pleasant stay. The boss lady was so nice. I booked just a basic room but got upgraded to almost a studio flat with separate bedroom in the mezzanine and lounge downstairs. Everytime I come back from sightseeing, all hot tired, the boss lady gave me a bowl of delicious melons. It was sweet and juicy. The best melons I have had. The second time she also gave me bananas. It was so much needed. The hotel is in the perfect location. Thank you for a wonderful stay. 1. From Datongnan station there are buses 608 or 61 which takes you directly to Huayansi stop, less than 1min from the hotel. However, the hotel frontage is a jewelry shop, I didn't know so ended up walking up/down the street for 10mins before the boss lady realised and came out to tell me I have arrived. 2. If you want to go to Yungang Grottoes. From the same bus stop take bus 38, then change to bus 3 to get to the Grottoes. Journey time about an hour in total. And cost 4RMB (2RMB per bus). However, you have to set up some kind of public travel app from Wechat to get the QR code to pay the bus fare. I didn't know this. Fortunately, some nice people helped pay my fare, then another lovely girl helped set up the app enabling me to use the bus from then as when I arrived and took the bus from the train station to hotel Wechatpay didn't work. Fortunately the driver let me ride for free as I guess he realised Im foreign and don't have this app. Only when I took the bus to Yungang Grottoes, the girl told me I need to set up the travel app etc and helped me set it up. 3. The hotel is also right opposite to the Huayan temple. A beautiful ancient temple. Deffo can't be missed. I will be uploading more photos and videos of my stay in Datong and travels in China on my YouTube channels once I'm back in UK. Check out my YouTube channels TheTravelDiary and goody2shoos for more information. Happy travels."

"Given that it's a branded star-rated hotel, the ambiance and quality are, as expected, excellent, and the hygiene is top-notch. The breakfast spread is also very generous. The only downside is the absence of a gym. The price is also quite high, which might be due to the summer season."

"Aside from the good location, everything else felt a bit disappointing, especially the breakfast which was far below the standard of other 4-star hotels. Overall, not a great experience!"

"One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at in China! We honestly didn’t expect to be this impressed. From the moment we arrived, everything was absolutely perfect. The hotel itself is incredibly beautiful and atmospheric. Every corner is thoughtfully designed, making it feel like you’re staying in a boutique museum rather than a hotel. The entire property is incredibly aesthetic, and every part of it is a perfect spot for beautiful photos. We stayed in a stunning two-level room, which completely exceeded our expectations. It was spacious, stylish, exceptionally comfortable, and spotlessly clean. Every little detail had been carefully considered. The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of Datong Ancient Town. We could walk everywhere, with all the main attractions, restaurants, and beautiful streets just a few minutes away. The staff were some of the friendliest we’ve ever met. Everyone was genuinely welcoming, kind, and always happy to help, making us feel at home from the very first moment. Breakfast was also excellent. Instead of a buffet, a freshly prepared traditional Chinese breakfast was served each morning. It was delicious, beautifully presented, and the perfect start to the day. One of the nicest surprises was that guests can borrow traditional Chinese costumes free of charge for a photo shoot around the hotel. Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough free time to try it ourselves, but it’s such a wonderful idea and gives us another reason to come back. We travel a lot and have stayed in countless hotels around the world, so it’s actually very difficult to surprise us. But this hotel genuinely did. If it were possible to give 100 stars instead of 5, we absolutely would. Even if we really wanted to find something to complain about, we honestly couldn’t. Everything was simply perfect. Without any doubt, this is one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had. If we ever return to Datong, we won’t even consider staying anywhere else. We will definitely come back. Highly, highly recommended!"

Renyi Inn ★★★
"First off, the location is great! In the center of the ancient city, but at night we don’t hear the crowds outside! The hosts were lovely and very accommodating. I am traveling with 7 family members and they all had an amazing time. The rooms were extremely clean and the hosts were hospitable. When we needed ice packs, cold water, they delivered them and gave us some to go. The courtyard in the center was beautiful, with birds, fish, peacocks. Everyday we enjoyed tea and fresh fruit!"

Wyndham Grand Plaza Royale , Datong ★★★★★
"Wyndham Grand Hotel Datong 1. The hotel's facilities are top-notch. 2. I experienced both the 'Forest Realm' and 'Memphis' room types, and both were absolutely perfect. The rooms are spacious, and the toiletries are L'Occitane. My children loved it so much that they didn't want to leave the room, preferring to play inside all day. 3. A special shout-out to the room attendant, Li Yuxi. She is incredibly kind and nice, and her work is meticulous and thoughtful. 4. The lobby staff were also very patient. Downsides: The breakfast was genuinely very crowded and quite chaotic. The restaurant staff, from the noodle station attendant to those handling dish collection, were frankly not professional enough. It felt completely out of sync with the service philosophy expected of a five-star hotel's software configuration. With so many diners, it was noisy and messy, almost like a free-for-all."

"No farewell gift upon checkout. The room felt smaller than its actual size, perhaps due to the layout. The location is great, very close to snack streets and several must-try restaurants nearby."

"The location is incredibly convenient for business trips, making it super easy to get around. You can tell this was a high-end hotel back in the day, and the facilities are still quite good, even if they show their age a little. The upside of that is you don't have to worry about any new renovation smells."

"The location is excellent, right inside the South City Wall, making it super convenient to explore the ancient city. It's also very close to Dongnan Yi, so getting anywhere is a breeze. The courtyard is clean and tidy, with a nice atmosphere, and the rooms are spacious and spotless! Breakfast is simple but comprehensive. They even gave us vinegar as a parting gift when we checked out, and the service was great. Highly recommend!"
