Linfen Hotels with Breakfast

My most delightful surprise when visiting Linfen was staying at the Ancient City Courtyard Museum Hotel. It's not a replica of ancient buildings, but rather three authentic Ming and Qing dynasty courtyards that have been relocated and restored, making it a living museum you can actually stay in. I spent four days and three nights here, truly slowing down to absorb the unique and profound atmosphere of the Pingyang region. The courtyards feature bluestone slabs, old wooden beams, and brick-carved screen walls, with every detail revealing traces of time. Beneath its ancient exterior, the interior is incredibly comfortable, with all modern amenities. The bedding and toiletries are of high quality, and the ancient courtyards offer excellent soundproofing, ensuring a quiet and serene environment, far from the city's hustle and bustle. The butler service is meticulous and thoughtful, and they patiently explain the history behind the courtyards. By day, I explored ancient architectural treasures like Guangcheng Temple, Xiaoxitian, and Fotou Temple, searching for national heritage sites in Southern Shanxi, admiring murals and ancient sculptures, and feeling the awe-inspiring ancient civilization. By night, I returned to this grand courtyard, stepping into a gentle and tranquil past. If you're visiting Linfen to explore historical sites, this hotel is highly recommended. It truly elevates the travel experience, and I would choose to stay here again on my next visit to Linfen.

This was my second trip to Japan, and the hotel was newly renovated, clean, and well-equipped with standard amenities. What really stood out was how incredibly enthusiastic the female staff at the front desk were. They proactively helped my elderly companions, even showing them how to use the coffee machine. That left a lasting impression. The dining options were just okay, but you could see the high-speed rail station from the restaurant window. Although it's about a kilometer from the station, it's the closest hotel around, as there are no other buildings near the station.

Hongdong Hotel is very good, the environment is tall, the breakfast is rich, the hotel is in a good location, close to the music fountain square, it is very convenient to walk around at night, very close to the big banyan tree. The front desk service of the hotel is warm, and the pick-up is arranged back and forth. The pick-up master has a very good service attitude. It is a very good living experience ～～～.

Everything was very good and above our expectation in a small city in China. Roomy and clean room. Water flow of the shower was also good. 2 Laundry machines and dryer were available and even during breakfast time, we we able to wash our clothing within an hour. Every efficient! This hotel is located in the heart of Hongdong city and walking distance to a shopping mall and there are many restaurants around. Although breakfast is basically Chinese only, at least coffee was available. Highly recommended for foreigners visiting Guangsheng temple! Thank you!!

Accommodations around Yunqiushan Scenic Area are mainly homestays, with the best quality ones concentrated in Kangjiaping Village, less than six kilometers from the park entrance. Many trendy restaurants are also clustered here. However, considering that the Wannian Ice Cave and Nuoerpo Ancient Village, which I planned to visit the next day, both require a shuttle bus from the park entrance, after some deliberation, I ultimately chose the Novotel Yunqiushan Hotel located inside the scenic area. As our vehicle entered the hotel's private parking lot within the park gates, the surrounding environment immediately convinced everyone in my group that I had made the right choice. Even more delightful was the warm and thoughtful service at the front desk. Upon learning that we were travelers from afar, they directly upgraded us to a mountain-view suite for free. Opening the window revealed a lush green mountain vista, and this unexpected pleasant surprise instantly melted away the fatigue of our journey. When they heard we initially planned to find food in Kangjiaping Village, the staff immediately offered complimentary shuttle service. However, as dusk was setting in and everyone was genuinely tired from traveling, we decided to dine at the hotel restaurant instead, allowing us to rest earlier and properly refuel. Perhaps it was extreme hunger, but every dish that day tasted exceptionally delicious. It wasn't until only half a tail of the steamed sea bass was left that I suddenly remembered I forgot to take photos of the food! Fortunately, I clearly remembered the names of several signature dishes. The four of us ordered four dishes: the hotel's specialty Braised Pork Belly, aromatic Alfalfa Stir-fry with Pork, fresh and tender Steamed Sea Bass, and a refreshing seasonal vegetable dish. I was surprised by how amazing the hotel restaurant's culinary skills were. The Alfalfa Stir-fry with Pork was perfectly savory and well-seasoned with plenty of ingredients. I had worried that the steamed sea bass in a northern hotel wouldn't be as good as those prepared by southern chefs, but after tasting it, I found the texture and flavor to be on par – fresh, not fishy, and wonderfully tender. And the Braised Pork Belly truly lived up to its 'signature dish' reputation, with a perfect balance of lean and fatty meat, soft, flavorful, and melting in your mouth without being greasy. The bill after dinner came out to just over a hundred per person, which was a truly pleasant surprise for such value for money. I genuinely recommend it to friends planning a trip to Yunqiushan! After dinner, we took a leisurely stroll along the hotel's pathway. The evening breeze in the mountains carried the fragrant scent of grass and trees, which was incredibly pleasant. Back in the room, the spacious and comfortable area, elegantly styled furniture, and a soft, skin-friendly king-size bed, combined with the unique tranquility of the mountain night, allowed us to shed all fatigue and quickly fall into a sweet slumber. Setting off for Nuoerpo Ancient Village and Wannian Ice Cave the next day, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the scenic area's shuttle bus stop was right outside the hotel, making travel extremely convenient without any extra rushing. Even more thoughtful, the hotel allowed us to check out after 2 PM, so after our visit, we could return to the room to rest and rejuvenate before calmly continuing our journey. This considerate service added even more charm to our Yunqiushan trip.

This hotel is truly wonderful and a truly comfortable stay! The location is perfect, close to the bus station, making it convenient for everything. You don't have to travel far to eat or shop nearby. The room was spotlessly clean, odorless, and the bed was incredibly comfortable; I couldn't move after returning home tired each day. The bathroom was also spacious, with hot water running quickly and at a consistent temperature, making washing up incredibly convenient. The staff, from the front desk to housekeeping, were incredibly friendly and helpful, answering every question promptly and making for a very welcoming experience. The breakfast selection wasn't spectacular, but it was substantial, hot, filling, and satisfying. Overall, there was nothing to fault, and the price was reasonable. I'd definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to everyone!

Jizhou Hotel offers an excellent overall experience, truly living up to its reputation as a local four-star hotel. The rooms are clean, tidy, spacious, and bright. The front desk staff are warm and attentive, making check-in quick and efficient. The location is convenient with easy parking, and the breakfast is rich and delicious. It's a great place to stay if you're visiting Hukou Waterfall, offering excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

The room was clean and hygienic. The facilities were relatively new. The location is close to the city center, with a bus stop right downstairs, near an overpass. The service attitude was good. They offer freshly ground coffee, so you can enjoy fresh coffee every day.

The room size at this hotel really exceeded my expectations, and there was plenty of space to spread out the bedding. The bathroom's wet and dry areas were also quite spacious, so there was no squeezing during toiletries. Overall, it felt comfortable and not cramped, offering good value for money. However, I lost a charger and haven't been able to reach the front desk yet.

When visiting Linfen, I chose this hotel. It's very new, and it's super convenient that they deliver takeout right to your room. The location is great, near Pingyang Plaza, and it's lively at night with lots of street food stalls. It's perfect for business travelers or anyone on a leisure trip.
