2-Star Hotels in Shanxi, China

I have to say this is the best accomodation in my entire Shanxi trip in which i stayed in 5 facilities. I truly appreciate the service provided, i got what i needed in a timely manner. As a solo traveller in a foreign country (i can speak simple mandarin, but cannot read chinese), i was glad that the proprieter could pick me up from Pingyaoguzhen station. Although i initiated the request, from then on, about 5 minutes before the train arrived Pingyao, he was proactive to send me a voice message on wechat when he arrived at the station and shared a photo to identify himself. The journey was 15 minutes in the car, followed by a tuk tuk as cars are not allowed to enter the ancient city during the day. The point of entry to the facility is via the north gate, it is a 3 minutes walk to Ma family mansion and about 10 minutes walk to the centre of the ancient city where most of the good restaurants are located. I booked a traditional chinese design room on the ground floor with the dragon-phoenix bed and another day bed. I did not ask, but i guess the facility is an old house that was built more than 100 years ago, there is a sign at the external wall of the homestay that indicate it is a protected building. As it was an old house, i was surprised that the room was clean, just the bathroom was slightly deteriorated (there is no separation of wet vs dry). The blanket in traditional dragon & phoenix design and traditional pillows with seed-like fillings were clean and odourless, i was so glad. Although the mattress was quite thin, it was not hard, i was glad. The proprieter gave me a map and explained the layout of the old city how to get around, where to eat, and help arranged shared car to Qiao family mansion. Upon checking out, i was given a bottle of locally brewed vinegar. The proprieter was not around when i left, he sent me voice message to arrange transport for my trip to the train station. I actually felt sorry when i told him that i booked another place in the more happening area of the ancient city (south gate) after checking out from his place. There are many buggy cars operating in the ancient city, charging ¥10/trip, you can tell the driver your desired destination and he/she will drop you at the door step or the closest drop off point if that area is not accesible.

Nice place, Nice location; you can walk to the Ancient town, I took along time to catch nice scene along the city wall, park and canal. To get the hotel from Datong South Railway Station by bus no.31 from the bus station side(the area is connected), take around 30 minutes to get there (Yungang Jianguo hotel, the hotel is opposite, only 2 CNY, many food and minimart around there. There is Muslim food there if need(next to the entrance of C(behind the building). Nice service, self check-in, clean room and relaxing. the owner, you should to contact the owner before arrive, she so friendly and always help you, she suggested us about the famous local food and restaurants(Thank you so much). If you need to buy some necessary item and cannot buy at the around minimart, you can walk to the Yonghui Superstore by East side (the next junction) turn right to Yuhe West rd. (At the corner). From the hotel tobget Yungang Grottoes, you can take bus no. 31 (Yungang Jianguo side), get off at Shi Li Dian Cun Xi ( West Shilidian village), cross to another side and catch bus no.12 to the terminal stop(is Yungang Grottoes. Take 1 hour or 1.30 to get there.

The room was as described, the interior of the looked relatively new. I arrived early and they let me do an early check in. Even though they don't speak English, communication was not a problem because the owners are kind and helpful. I loved the ancient city, people is easy going and there is a lot of trust among people, as a solo traveler woman felt very safe and comfortable. Also this place has a good location near many attractions, I like walking so I did everything by foot. Definitely recommend staying at this place.

Great location. Only 5 mins walk to the HuaYan Temple entrance. Plenty restaurant nearby. 老柴knife-cut noodle just nearby (like their fried noodle). Famous SiewMai LJX also 7mins walk away. 代王府Just 10mins away. Bus stop just right in front of the hotel. Very convenient. Room is small, especially I carrying a M size check-in luggage. Found a space to place and open my luggage. But lucky I was alone without companion or another luggage. But just nice for me, small room but cozy. Customer service is very good. They are helpful provided me some tips to tour around the city. Even recommend me rent public bicycle. I was having so much fun in Datong thanks to this hotel friendly customer services.

The location is very convenient. There is Yonghui Supermarket nearby, as well as a chain of steamed bun shops and pancake shops. It is convenient to go to the point halfway between the new district and the ancient city. There are buses on Financial Street nearby, and it is also quick to take a taxi. The service is pretty good, the hotel is compactly designed, the facilities are carefully selected, and it has its own parking lot.

Excellent hostel. Comfy capsules, hot showers, washing machine (costs to use but I'm not sure how much), excellent value. Easy to get to from train stations as long as you use a bus (use baidu maps 百度地图 to find routes and I swapped a stack of 1 yuan notes to pay for the buses as the Alipay bus card doesnt work for foreigners in Datong). The location is difficult to find but if you get to the rough location then locals are very happy to point you the right direction. You then text the owner who remotely let's you in.

When I was making the review, I realized that I didn’t have time to take any pictures, so I could only take pictures from other customers. When I first arrived at the hotel, I saw the sign at the door and thought I was in the wrong place. Later, when I entered, I realized that there were many old houses in the area that were used as inns. In fact, using antique to describe this place seems not very appropriate. Shanxi's historical heritage is too rich, so this word seems a bit thin. The room is much more comfortable than the one in the picture, and it also satisfies my idea of ​​settling in a local characteristic building. The location of the inn is right in the city. It is very convenient whether going to the city or going outside to see and see Pingyao. It's really beautiful when rows of lanterns are lit up at night, allowing people to calm down and look at the sky. The boss is really nice. He chatted with me for a long time and even treated me to a local breakfast. If you want to see Pingyao again, you can ask the boss to help book tickets, which will make the price cheaper. I have said it many times, but I still want to say that I must come back again if I have the chance. There is a courtyard at the top of the inn where you can enjoy the shade. Standing up there and overlooking the entire ancient city is so shocking that words cannot describe it. Hope to see you again, Pingyao.

Location: 15 minutes walk from Linyi West Station, the meeting place for a day trip is in the West Station parking lot, very convenient. You can take bus 7 to the Drum Tower, about half an hour. Facilities: The hotel is very new, it should have been opened for more than a year, and the health is good. The room is large and the layout is reasonable. Service: Free fruit, snacks, coffee and tea in the lobby. The front desk staff are very warm and friendly. Say hello to the door and go out. Surrounding: There is a supermarket downstairs, which is convenient for shopping. There is a small Yao noodle restaurant next to it, which is a relatively large home-cooked restaurant, and there are some small restaurants that serve breakfast, rice noodles and so on. The taste is OK, I want to eat authentic local dishes, or choose more in the city center.

The room is neat and clean. The tatami mat is very suitable for a family to live in. The store was kind and provided jelly. It is very convenient to take a taxi to the ancient city. On the first day, we walked back from the ancient city. It’s also very nice to take the bus to Yungang Grottoes👍🏻. I leave early and come back late every day, so I don’t have time to take pictures of the room environment. Satisfaction with the accommodation experience 👌🏻 - very cost-effective and highly recommended. In addition, it is convenient to eat, the food is delicious and delicious, thumbs up👍🏻, and the price is quite affordable. recommend! ! !

From start to finish everything was perfect! The communication was easy and friendly, and they came to pick us up when we arrived at the north gate of the town. So nice! The owner speaks English which was helpful. The hotel is in a quiet sidestreet and is very cute. Good looking courtyard inside and spacious rooms. Clean and comfortable. The owners helped a lot with planning our stay and we would stay again if we ever come back!

I was traveling with friends and stayed in this hotel. The hotel room is very big. It’s right near the ancient city. There are also many restaurants. It’s very convenient. The boss is also very welcoming. I will choose to stay here next time.

I 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. *I took a train from this station to travel south to Xinzhou after checking out. **I arrived in Datong from Beijing Daxing International Airport

The hotel is clean and tidy, and the service is very warm. Both the staff on the first night and the next morning gave very detailed answers to our questions.

In the past, when I took my parents and children out, I always booked a room with a double bed and a suit. It was expensive and there were few options. Now I have unlocked a new way, an e-sports hotel, where each person has a bed and a quilt, and they don't interfere with each other. This time I didn't book a four-person room, so I booked a six-person room. The room is large and spacious, and the hygiene is good. It is very close to the ancient city on foot. There seem to be various wholesale markets on the surrounding roads. The hotel has its own parking space, which is free. Let me talk about what I hope to improve. There is no guardrail on the upper bunk, which is a bit scary when sleeping. The room has a strong smell as soon as you enter the door, which is not very friendly to people with rhinitis. The lighting control design is not reasonable, and each bed does not have a separate small light.

We only stayed for one night but it was the best night ever because mr Wang behind the reception was there. He helped us kill a spider, fixed a broken thing and we even got a small souvenir as a gift from the Hotel. Wang is a legend 10/10 would recommend

I have to say this is the best accomodation in my entire Shanxi trip in which i stayed in 5 facilities. I truly appreciate the service provided, i got what i needed in a timely manner.

The owner speaks English which was helpful. The hotel is in a quiet sidestreet and is very cute. Good looking courtyard inside and spacious rooms. Clean and comfortable. The owners helped a lot with planning our stay and we would stay again if we ever come back!

I love this B&B so much, I stayed there for almost two weeks. On the north street of the ancient city, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all convenient. The B&B is in a small courtyard with a unique decoration and its own style. The owner is very nice. Yesterday I saw the owner driving himself to the train station to pick up guests. He stopped on his own initiative when he saw me (touched). The owner and his two young masters are also very nice. Next time I go, I will stay here again. Thank you, boss, and thank you, young masters.

The room is fully equipped, clean and hygienic, with wet and dry separation; the service is warm and thoughtful; the hotel is located near the ancient city, just a few hundred meters away. Shopping and dining nearby are convenient, and travel is convenient; the breakfast is good.

The location of the homestay is very good, not far from the east gate and south gate, the boss will provide pick-up service to the parking lot in advance. The whole homestay is an independent small courtyard. It is very quiet to fall asleep at night. Don't worry about the number of people outside the ancient city affecting sleep. The rooms are all characteristic earthworms. The house is very clean and clean. The disposable supplies are complete. There are also disposable bath towels and face towels. If you want to feel earthworms, you can choose a characteristic earthworm room. The boss will also provide a map of the ancient city, and help plan the route of the ancient city, and also mark the performance time intimately, which is convenient for sightseeing. There are restaurants and travel photography shops 20 meters away from the homestay, and it is very convenient to eat and travel photography. In the famous hotel in the ancient city of Dianping, the boss also has a membership card. You can discount the membership if you show it. The taste is quite good. Overall, this homestay is great, no thunder, it is recommended.

Environment: The room is generally OK, very close to the main street. Facilities: The bed is big, but the bathroom is a bit simple, because it is an old house, this is understandable. Service: The service is really good. When I checked in, the aunt gave me a map of the ancient city very considerately, and carefully guided the tour route. When I went out the next day, the uncle was also very enthusiastic to help with directions and took us to the bus station by eMule 😀

After climbing Yanmen Pass, we decided to go to Pingyao Ancient City on the spur of the moment. The inn we found on the road received 5-star reviews. We quickly booked the last room suitable for us. After booking, the boss called us and asked about our location. He also sent the parking lot location to the ancient city. No outside vehicles were allowed inside, so they drove to the city gate to pick us up. When we arrived at the inn, we first drew a map to tell us the location, interesting attractions, and delicious restaurants, so we wouldn’t step into any pitfalls! The room was clean and tidy. It was my first time to live in a Tukang, so I was worried about not getting used to it. The mat was made of latex and was very comfortable. I renewed my reservation for another night the next day. The boss is very down-to-earth, answers all questions and is very patient. I received local vinegar as a gift when I checked out and drove it to the city gate. It is recommended to stay here!

Let’s talk about the location first. It’s only one yuan away from the train station. It’s just a few minutes away from the 108 bus. Go in through the south gate. Let’s talk about the environment. The smallest room we booked was really clean even though it was a pit. The old couple were really enthusiastic and there was a map. It was the first day for the guide to prepare breakfast for us. The next day we went out early and prepared breakfast for us. The next day he found out that we had to catch an early train and got up early to prepare breakfast for us. They sent us out all the way. To be honest, the old couple checked in and registered on the computer. It’s not easy to do it yourself at such an old age. Listening to the old couple saying that the house is a 400-year-old ancestral property of the Fan family, it is difficult for the elderly to leave their hometown and the young people are struggling for life. It was a good stay experience. My wife prayed for her daughter’s postgraduate entrance examination in the Confucian Temple. Next time I come to pay my vows. Definitely come back to see the old couple

The room is clean and hygienic, the environment is elegant, the front desk service attitude is very good, the breakfast buffet in the morning is delicious, there is a bus stop outside, the transportation is convenient, I will come again next time.

Facilities: The facilities are very complete. There are many free things at the front desk, such as earplugs, makeup remover towels, and compressed face washcloths. It is very convenient to travel. Hygiene: The hygiene is very clean and the cleaning staff is very attentive. Environment: The environment is good. Service: The service is very good. The attitude of the front desk staff is super good and very friendly. Afternoon tea (milk tea, coffee, orange juice 3 choices 2): delicious and free. The hotel also has free parking, which is very convenient.

The room is okay, but the sound insulation is really poor. We originally paid money to stay here just for convenience, but because the guests next door were too delicate and couldn't hear a single sound, they knocked on our door and asked us to keep our voices down. When we kept talking in a low voice, it still didn't work, so they knocked on the door again, and then the hotel owner also knocked on the door. Our door, then when we come out, does it mean we just shut up? Our voices were a little louder at first, but we stopped, and we spoke in a low voice. We kept speaking in a low voice. The three of us haven’t seen each other for a long time. What happened to our conversation? We also suppressed it. Why did it happen after nine Don't let us out even if we make a sound! ! ! The boss even knocked on the door and asked why. In the past, your KTV was noisy due to construction, and we never complained when someone made a noise. It’s really a bad review, a bad review, a bad review!

This is a hotel that is definitely worthy of being on the ”Shanxi Culture and Tourism” recommended must-stay list. The facade looks ordinary, but the interior is excellent. We arrived at the hotel around 12:10. Because the originally booked room was not cleaned, the front desk staff directly upgraded it to a better level of smart big bed for free. There is a Xiaodu voice control system inside. The bed is also very large. The hygiene cannot be said to be spotless, but there is no flaw anywhere I see. The sound insulation effect is also good. Hotels at this price also provide disposable toilet seats and compressed face towels, which surprised me! The breakfast is also delicious. Although the selection is not that rich, it is enough. There is also a laundry room and dryer on the first floor. It is better than many hotels of the same level. It is worth recommending and checking in again. Thank you very much for the warm service of Ms. Liu Fang at the front desk of your hotel and the restaurant/room staff❤️❤️❤️

Traveling during the National Day holiday, this is my first time staying in this hotel. It is in a busy area, the service attitude is good, and it is clean and quiet. It is very close to the Causeway Bay parking lot. The Ninghuafu Vinegar Headquarters is on the left alley outside the store. Not far to the east are Liuxiang, Food Street, and Bell Tower Street Snack Street. It is a very good experience! I will stay at this hotel next time!

It is very convenient to be across the road from the Jinshang Museum Food Street and the Old Taiyuan Hotel. There are too few parking spaces at the door and you have to go early. There are few breakfast tables. The room has an integrated bathroom and is obviously old.

I really give this hotel a 100% praise! The service is really very, very good. Every time I go out, someone greets me at the door and says ”Welcome home”. When I just check in, the staff will take me up to the room (because I arrived late and didn't take pictures). Every day someone comes to clean the room and make the bed. The service is really considerate. There are also free tea bags and mineral water in the lobby. If you need them, you can get them yourself. This hotel is really good. I stay in many hotels when I go out, and this is the first time I have come across a hotel with such considerate and thoughtful service in the same price range! Go for it!

The hotel is very close to the train station. You can see it as soon as you look up from the underground passage. The room is very clean, the facilities are relatively new, the transportation is convenient, and the price-performance ratio is good.
