5-Star Hotels in Shanxi, China

Fantastic location, super convenient for getting around. The hotel's cleanliness was top-notch, and they provided a full set of toiletries. Check-in at the front desk was incredibly fast and hassle-free from start to finish. There are plenty of dining and entertainment options nearby, and the staff were very friendly. Parking was also convenient, and we even received two free tickets to Chunyang Palace. Excellent value for money!

The environment was incredibly clean and quiet, and the facilities were very modern. The service was exceptionally attentive; the snacks and fruits were all to our taste, and breakfast had everything you could ask for. They frequently offered proactive reminders about complimentary services, and the airport shuttle was a huge plus. The staff, both male and female, were efficient, responsive, and incredibly polite and thoughtful, which made our stay very comfortable. We were extremely satisfied with our choice of hotel this time.

“Ji Xia Shan” (literally, “Below the Mountain”) is tucked away in a quiet corner of Datong's ancient city. Push open the courtyard gate, and the hustle and bustle instantly fade away. Green bricks, wooden structures, plain walls – colors are minimized, and tranquility is maximized. As night falls, another layer of light illuminates the courtyard. A fire-dancing artist moves with a 'fire pot,' a flick of their arms sending golden streams of fire streaking through the silent night. Sparks scatter between the eaves and the green bricks, flickering on and off like the unextinguished heartbeat of the sleeping ancient city. Silence and passion arrive simultaneously in this single courtyard. The room's window is understated. It doesn't rush to display a panoramic view; instead, it draws your eye to the layered rooftops, resembling distant mountains. And at this moment, through the window, the fire's reflection dances on the tea ceremony table. Ji Xia Shan doesn't create scenery. It simply filters out the noise for you, leaving behind the ancient city's true essence – and your true self. Checking in here is truly arriving.

Staying at Ruifeng Tower was definitely the best decision for our Datong trip! The hotel is located right in the heart of the ancient city, within walking distance of attractions like Huayan Temple and Shanhua Temple, making it super convenient. The rooms have an antique charm, and when you open the window, you're greeted with the sight of traditional courtyards and intricate eaves. What truly delighted me were the books in the room. Reading them before bed, the glory of Pingcheng during the Northern Wei Dynasty and the prosperity of the Liao and Jin secondary capitals came alive on the pages, adding a wonderful cultural depth to our journey. The breakfast buffet was abundant, and the staff were warm and professional. Next time I'm in Datong, I'll definitely choose Ruifeng Tower again, to immerse myself in the unique charm of this ancient capital amidst its scholarly ambiance and historic beauty!

The hotel is new and the rooms are quite spacious. The housekeeping staff were very friendly and helpful. It's also very close to Fantawild, which was great for visiting with kids. The pool water was clean, and the kids had a lot of fun, though the water temperature was a bit too cold for little ones, making them shiver. The mini-bar was complimentary, and parking was convenient. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Datong.

This is by far the best value five-star hotel in Taiyuan. The management is well-organized, and the hygiene is consistently excellent, making you feel right at home. Both the facilities and services are well-maintained. The surrounding area offers a complete range of commercial amenities and convenient transportation, with a subway entrance right next to the hotel. Tianmei and Beimei New World shopping centers are just next door. Overall, it's great value for money. The only minor drawback is that it's an older hotel and could use a full renovation. Given that Shanxi is a strong tourist province, a refurbishment would certainly justify a price increase.

First time in Yuncheng, and Novotel pleasantly surprised us! The front desk, restaurant, and room service were all excellent. Check-in was super quick. We booked two rooms, and they kindly arranged for them to be next to each other. They even gave us lots of snacks and fruit. It was Labor Day, so the hotel was really busy, but they opened an extra restaurant for breakfast during peak hours, which was great. The service there was just as good, showing their excellent contingency planning for busy times. Our rooms were cleaned promptly every day, and they replenished the 6 bottles of mineral water without fail. A very satisfying trip overall!

I have always preferred to stay in Huazhu hotels. This time I came to the ancient city of Zhangzhou and decisively chose Huazhu luxury. It turns out that it is really the most correct decision on this trip! As a high-end line of flower building, the overall texture completely exceeds expectations. The courtyard design is elegant and quiet, quiet in the middle of noisy, and you can walk directly to the ancient city of Zhangzhou. It is especially convenient to visit the night view and eat snacks. The room hygiene is meticulous, the hardware configuration is high-end and intimate, the bedding comfort is full, the independent private soup experience is full of atmosphere, and the 24-hour hot spring water is too healing for the fatigue of the journey. The butler service is warm and thoughtful, the details are attentive, and the whole stay experience is comfortable and at ease. It is worthy of flower luxury, the quality is as reliable as ever, this is the first choice for accommodation in the ancient city of Zhangzhou, I will choose here next time, highly recommended!

This is the first time in my life I've been so angry at a hotel that I was shaking. And it wasn't a guesthouse or a budget hotel, but the Marriott, a five-star hotel in a resort area. Since the most convenient way to get from Beijing to Mount Wutai is by overnight train, I was extremely tired when I arrived at the hotel at 6 AM. When I tried to communicate about early check-in and breakfast, the front desk staff kept arguing with me. Issue 1: **Can Diamond Elite members check in 4 hours early? Answer: No, the earliest is 10 AM, even then. Checking in earlier than that requires an extra charge. But then she said there were no clean rooms available, which contradicts what she just said! And did I ever say I wasn't willing to pay extra? I was just very tired and wanted to rest, is that not allowed? Issue 2: **Do Diamond Elite members get free breakfast? Can I have it now? Answer: No, if you check in today, you can only have it tomorrow. I pressed further, but she ignored me and kept typing. I thought she was consulting with a superior, but after a minute, I realized she just didn't want to deal with me and was giving me the cold shoulder. She never looked at any of my information, nor did she provide any guidance, as if I owed her something. Even if my requests couldn't be met, I would accept it; I was just trying. But can someone with such an attitude really work at a front desk? Later, when I said I would complain about her, she took off her name tag and told me to take a picture, her expression clearly saying, 'Go ahead and complain, I don't care.' However, I must commend the restaurant staff and the front desk staff who handled my check-in later; their attitude was excellent. But I still feel very upset, and my vacation mood was completely ruined. This is also the first time in my life I've given a hotel a bad review.

Choosing this hotel for my trip to Taiyuan was absolutely the best decision, and I have to highly recommend it to all my friends! First, let's talk about the service – a huge shoutout to the front desk and concierge! The moment I got out of the car, the concierge was quick to greet me, proactively taking my heavy luggage. Eva, at check-in, was all smiles and genuinely enthusiastic, patiently explaining all the hotel facilities. Her heartfelt warmth immediately made me feel so much better about this unfamiliar city, truly making me feel at home. The most delightful surprise was the two parakeets freely roaming in the lobby! While waiting to check in, they chirped away as if chatting with you, instantly easing my travel fatigue. The kids traveling with me were utterly captivated and couldn't move. These lively details truly add so much to the experience. Even more heartwarming, Laura specially prepared a little gift for the children – adorable dolls and candies. The kids loved them and kept saying, 'We want to stay here again next time!' Seeing their happy faces made us, as parents, incredibly pleased. From the concierge's proactive assistance and the delightful surprises for the kids to the lively presence of these little creatures, everything made me feel the warmth and vibrant atmosphere of Taiyuan. Next time I'm in Shanxi, I'll definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!
