Hotels With Breakfast in Shanxi, China

This is a great hotel, and most importantly, it's right across from the airport, perfect for a layover. We happened to arrive during the rain, and the hotel was very accommodating, arranging both airport pick-up and drop-off. If you were to walk, it's not far at all, about ten minutes. However, if you have a lot of luggage, walking might be a bit inconvenient. The hotel's hygiene is good, and the breakfast is also quite nice (the Yuncheng Braised Chicken was delicious). If you have an early flight, you can eat ten minutes earlier and still make it on time. Note: Due to the rain, I didn't get any photos showing the hotel's proximity to the airport.

We spent out last night of our trip at Kempinski Taiyuan, and it did not disappoint. The receptionist upgraded up to a room on a high floor with a view of the city. They also gave us fresh fruits and free minibar. They had everything you would expect of a five star hotel, and the location is in a bustling part of the city. Would definitely come back.

Awesome! 👍🏻 We arrived late by high-speed train, and the owner drove directly to the station to pick us up. All the restaurants in the ancient city were closed, so the owner lent us his electric tricycle to go eat outside the city. Riding that little vehicle through the ancient city at night was truly a special experience, haha. As for the room, it had everything we needed, and the underfloor heating kept it very warm. The large kang bed was quite unique, and even the mouthwash cups were disposable. Since it was the off-season, the owner even upgraded our room. Although the wallpaper was a bit peeling, it didn't affect our stay at all. Moreover, right outside the inn is the owner's own travel photography studio. I'm so glad I didn't book one of those trendy shops recommended online in advance. The photo shoot here was absolutely fantastic 💖. The makeup artist was very gentle and recommended suitable hairstyles and makeup based on my face shape. I loved the photos, and there was absolutely no pressure during the selection process – completely voluntary. A perfect ancient city experience, I'll definitely recommend it to my friends!

During the Chinese New Year, I chose this hotel for my family and it was my second time staying here. The hotel is very clean, quiet, and has an antique charm. It's located within the ancient city walls, very close to all the attractions. Just a few steps from the hotel, you'll find Huayan Temple and Chunyang Palace. There's a church next to the hotel, and walking through its courtyard leads you straight to the Nine-Dragon Wall and Daiwang Mansion. For dining, the hotel is also conveniently close to popular spots like Xidao Noodle, Fenglin Pavilion, Laochai Sliced Noodles, Zini, and Longjuxiang, making meals very accessible. The hotel owner was incredibly welcoming; she even brought an additional staff member to help us with our luggage, fearing we had too much. My family thoroughly enjoyed their stay at this hotel over the New Year.

The carpet hygiene was poor. Breakfast was a nightmare. The restaurant was huge and chaotic, with no host to seat guests. It was a free-for-all, with people scrambling for tables and often sharing, which was very unfriendly. The breakfast quality was mediocre. Plates often ran out and weren't refilled, and the coffee was terrible. The specialty lamb offal noodles were decent, but most other items were pre-made and tasted very average. However, the hotel hardware was top-notch, with luxurious decor. The rooms were large and spacious, and the design was very practical. But the staff... honestly, it's hard to describe. I stayed for three days and don't typically remove my key card, but every day the staff would take it out. 😅 The first night, the water temperature wasn't hot enough. Perhaps the hotel was fully booked, but my child kept complaining about the cold during their shower. As someone from the North, I found the room temperature comfortable, just a bit dry.

The hotel I chose based on the plane was very nice, with a relatively large yard for walking. We stayed at the last hotel facing the runway, and the captain and stewardess of Shenzhen Airlines also stayed at this hotel. It was pretty good.

This hotel is located within Datong Ancient City, making it super convenient for getting around. It has an underground parking garage, which is great for those traveling by car. For breakfast, while the self-service selection isn't huge, there's a menu to order main courses, and the in-room minibar is also well-stocked. The hotel's internal environment is really nice, perfect for a weekend staycation. I'll definitely choose Jishangshan again next time I'm in Datong.

The night view of Shanxi Hotel itself is already beautiful. We booked a twin room, and it was perfect for our family of four as we could push the beds together. The toiletries were excellent, especially the disposable slippers which we even took with us to reuse – they were really good quality, unlike the typical ones you get. The service was also fantastic, and the breakfast was great. The hotel's location is super convenient, close to everything like Wuyi Square and Lvzu Temple (we got free tickets with our room key!). For dinner, we took a Didi (taxi) to 'Tubaozi' (found it on Dazhong Dianping). It's a famous local chain restaurant, and their signature dishes were delicious and very generously portioned. They even gave us a large jug of sea buckthorn juice for free! Just a tip, make sure to reserve a table in advance, either by phone or online, as it's a very popular spot!

The location is fantastic, right by Wuyi Square, south of the Shanxi Post Bureau. It's super convenient for both subway and bus access. The room itself was impeccable—spacious and spotlessly clean, with a large floor-to-ceiling window offering great views of Yingze District's night lights. The only minor downside was that there weren't enough elevators, so waiting times could be a bit long.

We enjoyed our stay at Mercury hotel and were particularly impressed by how friendly and accommodating the entire hotel staff was. The hotel breakfast buffet was undoubtedly the highlight. There was a great selection of hot and cold items to choose from. The food was freshly prepared and delicious. It was the perfect way to start our day.
