The hotel isn't far from the highway and has an underground parking garage, which is great for those traveling by car. I personally think it's an upgraded version of a budget hotel; the room isn't huge, but the facilities are good and quite new. Breakfast is abundant and delicious, and the restaurant service is warm and attentive. The front desk service was okay, but they didn't proactively upgrade our room as some reviews mentioned, nor did we receive a small gift upon check-out.

Kempinski Hotel Taiyuan Stay Experience: Luxury Service Where Details Make All the Difference (January 2, 2026)
Our trip concluding the 2026 New Year's holiday brought us to the Kempinski Hotel, located in the heart of Taiyuan. What started as a regular accommodation choice turned into a highlight of our journey, thanks to the attentive service and unexpected experiences we received throughout our stay.
A day before our arrival, I received a surprising call from the hotel's duty manager. He not only meticulously confirmed basic information like our arrival time and the number of guests but also proactively asked about any special requests or personal preferences, such as a preferred floor, room orientation, or whether we needed a baby crib or extra bedding. When I mentioned my preference for a room with an open view, the manager readily responded that he would do his best to arrange it. This thoughtful, proactive service made me feel warm and welcomed even before checking in.
Upon arriving at the hotel, the front desk quickly processed our check-in and informed me that I had been complimentary upgraded to a 50-square-meter Premium Deluxe View Room. This surprise was especially thoughtful. The moment I opened the door, my first impression was ”immaculately clean and bright”—the floor was spotless, the bedding was pristine and wrinkle-free, and the bathroom's sink, bathtub, and shower area were all dry and clean, with no standing water or unpleasant odors in the corners. Even the curtain tracks and table crevices were dust-free, perfectly meeting the hygiene standards of a five-star hotel. The room featured an elegant European-style decor, complemented by soft, warm lighting, creating a very cozy atmosphere. The oversized floor-to-ceiling window offered a panoramic view of Taiyuan's bustling city center, with towering buildings and busy streets spread out before us. Sunlight filled the room during the day, and at night, the neon lights twinkled, providing an absolutely superb visual experience. The room was fully equipped with amenities, including a mini-bar, smart TV, and branded toiletries. The soft, comfortable king-size bed also helped alleviate travel fatigue, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep.
The breakfast experience the next morning was equally impressive. Elements Western Restaurant, located on the second floor, opened promptly at 6:30 AM. The dining environment was spacious and bright, and the tableware was neatly arranged. The breakfast selection was rich and diverse, catering to both Western and Chinese tastes. We found classic Western options like coffee, bread, bacon, and fried eggs, as well as local Shanxi specialties such as 'lao doufu' (aged tofu), 'yangza' (lamb offal soup), and handmade noodles. There were also Chinese delights like hot congee, steamed buns, and cold appetizers. The variety of fruits, desserts, and yogurt was also extensive. All the ingredients were fresh and delicious, satisfying different taste preferences. The staff were warm and attentive, proactively guiding us to our seats and promptly replenishing tableware and food, making for a comfortable and pleasant dining experience.
Throughout this stay, from the thoughtful pre-arrival communication and the pleasant surprise of a room upgrade to the clean and spacious living environment and the rich and diverse breakfast options, Kempinski Hotel Taiyuan demonstrated its ”home away from home” service philosophy through every detail. Whether for business or leisure travel, this is an excellent choice for accommodation in Taiyuan, and I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit.

I came to see the concert and I liked the fact that the Intercontinental Hotel could pick me up. The service and environment were very good. There were some minor incidents in the middle, but they were solved quickly. The only question was that I vomited for two consecutive days after breakfast. I want to ask if the soft-boiled fried eggs in the hotel breakfast were sterile eggs?
The front desk lady was super nice and upgraded my room. Hilton's service is consistently excellent, and the breakfast was great – the staff even helped me pack some to go, as if they were worried I'd be hungry. The hotel's location is fantastic, right opposite Wuyi Square, making it super convenient to get everywhere. The third picture shows the view from my room. However, there's a minor issue: the hot water wasn't very stable in the early hours of the morning, going from hot to cold intermittently.

Highly recommended! The service at this Datong hotel is top-notch, so heartwarming it almost brought tears to my eyes 😭
My experience at Jixia Mountain Datong Hotel:
My wife said, ”From check-in to check-out, I felt like a pampered princess the whole time!”
👏🏻 A big shout-out to the General Manager!
His bilingual skills are impressive, effortlessly switching between English and Cantonese.
He immediately stepped in to patiently assist a few foreign guests who needed help.
This kind of 'attention to detail' service really resonated with me!
🌄 When we were watching the sunrise over the city wall in the morning,
the front desk小姐姐 (young lady) quietly filled our thermos with ginger tea.
She said, ”The morning wind is strong, have something warm.”
This was the first time I encountered turndown service where they actually pulled the duvet up from the bottom. Even at the St. Regis Macau, I always had to struggle to pull the duvet up myself.
These unexpected moments of warmth made the entire trip feel incredibly special!
💡 Little tips:
The hotel offers a guided tour service for the art gallery daily.
The floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby offer stunning views of the sunset.
It's advisable to bring a jacket as there's a significant temperature difference between morning and evening.
I've already decided to bring my family back for a second visit! Such a service-oriented team deserves recognition 👀

After comparing several hotels, I finally chose the Holiday Inn Datong, and my two-day stay confirmed it was the right decision. I'd say it's an international chain hotel with great value for money in Datong. The location is excellent, about a 10-minute drive from the high-speed rail station and 20 minutes by taxi to the ancient city, making transportation very convenient. The hotel offers a dedicated shuttle service, a value-added perk that's hard to find at most hotels. When I arrived, it was a Toyota business van, and for my return trip to the station, it was a Toyota urban SUV – a fantastic experience! The hotel's exterior design is pleasing to the eye. I believe both the architectural style and the choice of interior decorative materials and color scheme are top-notch. It's not extravagant, but its understated elegance can impress guests from all walks of life. The lobby is tall and spacious, with elegant and refined colors, giving it a beautiful and grand feel. The front desk staff were very friendly. My room was arranged on the 12th floor in a prime location. The room layout was simple and bright, and the decor maintained the InterContinental Hotels Group's consistent style of understated luxury. The bedding was just the right firmness, and everything was clean and comfortable. The drinking water supply also met guests' needs. Breakfast was excellent; in addition to the usual Western pastries, it really highlighted local Datong specialties like authentic knife-cut noodles and lamb offal soup, which were highly praised by diners. Overall, I was very satisfied with the dining, accommodation, transportation, and comprehensive service during this trip. I look forward to choosing this hotel again if I have the chance to return.

Jianguo Hotel Yungang is a well-established upscale hotel. As soon as I arrived, a security guard promptly offered to help with my luggage and escorted me to the front desk. The service was incredibly attentive and warm; every staff member I encountered greeted me with a smile. Check-in at the front desk was very quick. Although the room's decor is a bit dated, it was exceptionally clean and tidy, with excellent hygiene. The direct drinking water tap in the room was a great convenience, and they also provided four complimentary bottles of water. The hotel breakfast was fantastic, offering a wide variety of options – truly the best hotel breakfast I've ever had. For lunch, I ate at the hotel's Chinese restaurant; the prices were reasonable, and the dishes tasted excellent, easily comparable to popular 'influencer' restaurants. The hotel also provided complimentary passes to the bathhouse, which I found to be very good in the evening, with friendly staff. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again.

We had a very pleasant stay in this hotel. The staff members were very helpful and attentive. Breakfast was also very good! Our room was comfy and spacious, the only problem we had with it was that it felt too hot for us even with the aircon/heating off and right before we left we could feel some bad smell coming from the pipes. We didn't report this as we were leaving but we're sure the hotel would have helped and sorted this for us (they offered changing our room when we said it was too hot for us, for example). The location of the hotel was very useful to explore the ancient city and the hotel helped us book a private car to see the grottoes and hanging temple - great experience!
We'd consider staying here again if/when we visit Dating again. :)
If you're traveling to Linfen, Shanxi, I genuinely recommend Gu Cheng Da Yuan. It's not a hotel in the usual sense; it's more like staying in a living piece of history.
The moment you push open the heavy wooden door, the city's hustle and bustle are shut out. It's a genuine old house, not some 'faux-ancient' style.
🛏️ The stay was more comfortable than I expected. The room was spacious, antique in style, but not at all dark.
✔ Underfloor heating + central air conditioning throughout, so no fear of the cold in winter.
✔ Turn on the projector and binge-watching shows in bed at night was incredibly satisfying 📽️.
✔ Welcome fruit, tea, coffee, cocktails 🍹, and afternoon tea 🫖 were all prepared.
✔ 24-hour butler service, always responsive.
✔ Takeout can be delivered directly to the room – super friendly for lazy people.
🥟 The attention to detail was a real bonus. On the Winter Solstice, I actually got to eat dumplings handmade by the hotel, and I suddenly felt 'cared for'. The breakfast menu changes daily, so you don't get tired of it.
💆♀️ This was a truly relaxing, 'lie-flat' vacation. This time, I also tried the newly introduced sound bowl healing at the hotel, which made me so relaxed I didn't want to talk throughout the session. Even if I didn't leave all day, just soaking up the sun, reading, and daydreaming in the courtyard felt completely worth it.
📸 Every corner is picture-perfect. Carved window lattices, grey brick corridors – every spot is Instagrammable.
If you're looking for a trip where you don't have to rush your itinerary or exert yourself, but simply want to stay somewhere excellent and peaceful, then Gu Cheng Da Yuan is truly a place to just lie back and relax 🤎.

This should be the best hotel in Changzhi, Shanxi. It has a great location. It is adjacent to Changzhi Museum and within walking distance of Guanyin Hall. The floors and rooms are very clean. The waiters are very enthusiastic, and the service in the restaurant and at the front desk is very professional. Changzhi is a small city, and Runerlai Hotel is very convenient to reach by bus from the East High-speed Railway Station and the airport. Recommended.

JJiebudiaodejimoThe location is great, nestled between Yingxun Gate (South Gate) and Shangxi Gate, making it convenient for sightseeing yet surprisingly quiet. The facilities are good, but what really impressed me was picture #2 [assuming this refers to a specific feature/amenity shown in a picture]. I hope they can plug in the outlets before guests check in. The buckwheat pillow was very comfortable! The service was excellent; they communicated in advance about pickup/drop-off and even offered to drive me to attractions. Breakfast was abundant, featuring local specialties like Pingyao beef. It was well-balanced and tasty. The menu changed over the two days, though for me, there was a bit too much meat. If a full buffet isn't feasible, perhaps offering an à la carte menu where guests can choose their items would help reduce waste. And the cats at the hotel are adorable!

GGuest User5-Star Review for Tingbo Hotel
I recently stayed at Tingbo Hotel and had an absolutely exceptional experience that deserves a full 5-star rating. From start to finish, every detail was carefully crafted, making my trip comfortable, memorable, and deeply culturally enriching.
The hotel’s facilities blend elegant new Chinese design with modern convenience perfectly. Rooms are spacious, quiet, and equipped with smart room controls, high-speed Wi-Fi, comfortable bedding, and sleek, well-appointed bathrooms. The hotel also offers a well-maintained gym, a 24-hour self-service laundry room, and elegant public spaces ideal for relaxation and photos.
Cleanliness is impeccable throughout the property. Rooms are spotless, with fresh linens, sanitized surfaces, and tidy layouts that create a welcoming and hygienic environment. Housekeeping is efficient and thoughtful, ensuring a consistently pleasant stay.
Service is warm, professional, and attentive. The front desk team is friendly and efficient, providing useful local travel tips and prompt assistance with any requests. Staff go out of their way to make guests feel valued, with thoughtful touches that enhance the overall experience.
A true highlight is the hotel’s complimentary Shanxi merchant costume rental service. The traditional outfits are well-made and authentic, perfect for capturing beautiful photos in the ancient city. This unique cultural experience deepened my connection to local history and made my trip unforgettable.
In summary, Tingbo Hotel excels in facilities, cleanliness, service, and cultural experience. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area and will definitely return on my next trip.

Outstanding
JJoyfully RetiredThis was the best hotel of my entire trip. It was spotless, andvery well laid out around small courtyards. If I were traveling with a large family , I would request rooms on the first floor that open out into the same courtyard . There were multiple common spaces that were comfortable and interesting. The laundry room was properly equipped and the staff showed me how to use the appliances. Breakfast was delicious, with a variety of hot dishes, noodles made to order, a coffee machine with excellent coffee, and fresh fruit.
The hotel was well located. It fronts onto a quiet tidy alley, one block from the chaotic (and fun) pedestrian food street and shopping street. It was an easy walk to the Shanxi Province group of museums.
I do have a few suggestions.
1. My taxi from the train station could not find the hotel. He left me nearby but I wandered around dragging my suitcase for a good half hour until the six people who joined in to help, were successful! It would help to improve the location identifiers in Amap, and any other map a guest or taxi driver might need.
2. When I asked the front desk for help arranging a taxi to the train station the afternoon before my departure, I was given to understand that I should just go out and hail a taxi the following morning. At 7:00am, there were no taxis anywhere nearby. I ended up walking a kilometer with my bags to take the subway. So…even though the service is great, don’t count on hotel help with transfers. Leave yourself plenty of time and have a “plan B” when you depart. The location is not easy for a taxi to find - cars cannot enter that alley!
RRichard76ukThis weekend, I had the pleasure of staying at the Great Palace Hotel in Datong, and I must say it was an incredible experience from the moment we arrived. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, checking us in quickly and even upgrading us to the best available room. To our surprise, we were greeted with a thoughtful welcome that included a fresh fruit basket, traditional Chinese soup, and complimentary tea.
The hotel offers an impressive breakfast selection, catering to both local and international tastes. The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean, and the beds are incredibly comfortable—making it easy to unwind after a day of sightseeing.
This was my second time staying at the Great Palace Hotel, and once again, it exceeded expectations. Its location is ideal—right in the heart of the city, close to all major tourist attractions and just a few kilometers from the train station. Special thanks to Manager 崔经理, who was exceptionally kind and helpful throughout our stay. I would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Datong.
What truly sets this hotel apart is the attention to detail and the genuine hospitality of the staff. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or returning guest, the service remains consistently high. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between traditional charm and modern comfort, making it a reliable choice for both leisure and business travelers. From check-in to check-out, every aspect of our stay was smooth, relaxing, and enjoyable.

GGuest UserThe location of the hotel is perfect. It is the right place to stay when visiting the Hanging Temple and Jin Temple. The room and bed are large, especially suitable for bringing children. It is no problem for a family of three to stay in a big bed. The bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas. The breakfast is also very good. Overall, it is very cost-effective.
MM33369****Look at the ancient construction and national treasure to Taiyuan 3 times. The hotel that was rested this time is intercity in the South Central, good location! It is very close to the South Station, the airport and the subway entrance, and it is convenient to travel. The room is spacious and soundproof. There are many varieties of minibars. Although I enjoyed Bama mineral water, I felt the sincerity of the hotel. Featured care products are five-star level. The breakfast was rich. When I went at 9 o'clock, there were many varieties. My husband drank the love soup in his dream: sheep soup, soft mutton in the soup, and fans. Remember to add more white pepper, a little pepper, with fried dough sticks and twists. It is really delicious. The red velvet cake is also delicious, not sweet and a bit salty, recommended! The front desk was very good at communicating, helping to solve the room type adjustment and postpone the check-out until 2 pm. The only downside is dry and hot. Two people drank 8 bottles of Nongfu Spring, and their throat was still dry. It is recommended to add a humidifier.
Dd 123Although it is an old hotel, the service attitude is still very comfortable. Ms. Cairong at the front desk helped me deliver my luggage to the room.
The dining environment is very clean and hygienic, and the dishes are plentiful... The waiter Guo Defeng has been warmly asking what to drink, and he also helped to bring fruits. The chef Han Maorong is also a super funny girl, telling me that there are freshly cooked noodles, wontons, fried eggs, etc. , The variety is quite complete~ The hotel as a whole makes me feel very comfortable and awesome!
GGuest UserThe room was clean and comfortable. They offered luggage transfer within the ancient city, complimentary fruit, and even gave us local specialty vinegar and oil tea upon check-out. The service was thoughtful, the environment was great, and exploring the ancient city was very convenient.
