Incredible hotel

Superb hotel. Very hospital personnel, clean structure and very comfortable rooms equipped with everything. The hotel is located in a convenient position, central and full of ancient buildings. They also provided us a small breakfast to go as we were leaving earlier than the breakfast time. We also forget a coat in the structure and the hotel contacted us immediately to arrange a delivery! Hands down, one of the best hotels I've been for the service and the confort.

The hotel is more than just a Hostel I would rather call it a botique hotel located in the heart of the old and renovated part of Datongnan. Employees are very kind and provide the best of hospitality. Rooms are clean and bathroom in excellent condition. It is located in area where no cars are allowed so very quiet,yet the taxi can drop you at less then 3 min walk. Breakfast is a bit short especially for foreign guest . Only time it does get busy and bit noisy is on the weekend as all the sellers announce their products and services over speakers.

We loved this place! It was a fantastic place for us to stay in Datong. It was super beautiful and lovely. The rooms were clean and warm all the time. The floor heating for winter was a dream. We had breakfast there at their buffet which was lovely to come down in our own time and do. The staff were always awake and happy to say hello. Not much English but that’s absolutely fine with translation apps. There wasn’t easy public transport but that’s because there is no train or subway. It has beautiful surrounding building and walkable food and entertainment areas. Taxi’s and DiDi’s were very accessible and quick to walk to from the hostel. There’s an AMAZING food joint right underneath the hostel that is beautiful, cheap, and unique. Overall, it was a great place to be based at for three nights.

Strategically located and easy to find food. Staff are welcoming and giving advices on attractions. No lift in the hotel so expect to carry your luggage if you are allocated a unit on 3rd floor. Room is decent and toilet is a bit squeezy. Breakfast is free, with some simple dishes. Overall, value for money.

Very central location in old town pedestrian zone, therefore not that easy to find and access, but nonetheless rather quiet. Friendly and efficient service, space in the room and for breakfast a bit limited, overall good value for money.

Très bien situé au centre de la vieille ville. Impeccable pour tout visiter à pieds. Lits assez durs, mais qui se révèlent finalement très bons. Le petit-déjeuner est en revanche un peu juste. Peu de choix et un « jus d’orange » tellement dilué que l’on ne goûte plus l’orange.

L'hotel è veramente bello, in pratica un museo con pezzi, sculture e stampe cinesi veramente antiche e bellissime. Personale gentilissimo, colazione ottima, stanza non spaziosa ma confortevole, letti comodi e con un bagno privato molto pulito e comodo. Unica pecca: l'assenza di una insegna su strada che aiuti i turisti a localizzare l'hotel, è tutto in cinese e nonostante si arrivi in prossimità non si riesce a capire da dove entrare.

Hotel ubicado en el centro de la zona amurallada de Datong. La ubicación es excelente para pasear por este área llena de tiendas, templos y bellísima por la noche. La dueña está dispuesta a ayudarte a la hora de organizar una excursión o pedir un conductor. Ella se encargó de darnos un buen precio para tener un conductor durante todo el día para visitar Hanging Temple y Yongang Grootes. El desayuno era un poco escaso en la opción occidental y la zona para desayunar un poco estrecha. Cuando fuimos todas las mesas estaban llenas y hubo que esperar un poco.
