On the Road Hostel (Ancient City Heyang Gate)

The accommodation was comfortable. Although there is no private bathroom, the shared facilities are clean and fully equipped. The second floor is designated as a women-only area, making it very convenient. The staff were warm and welcoming, and you change into slippers right as you enter the lobby, which feels very cozy! It's very close to the ancient city wall and the direct shuttle bus station to the scenic spots, all within walking distance!

Facilities: Well-equipped with great attention to detail, including the shower waterproof curtain, provided bath towels, and a washing machine and dryer. Cleanliness: Extremely clean, with a fresh set of bed sheets and quilt covers provided for each guest. Location: Prime location with the scenic area direct shuttle bus right at the doorstep. It's very convenient for visiting the Hanging Temple, Mount Heng, the Wooden Pagoda of Yingxian, and the Yungang Grottoes. After a tiring day, stepping right off the bus and arriving at the hotel is such a relief and feels amazing.

Great place! I've stayed at many couples' hotels, but this one deserves a huge thumbs up!! It's super clean and the location is excellent. Right outside the door is where the scenic area shuttle bus picks up, making getting around very convenient!

Passing through Datong on my way home, I saw this newly opened hostel with nice decor and decided to give it a try. I've stayed in many hostels elsewhere, and this is only the second one where they ask you to change into slippers right after check-in, the first being Eat Mountain. I stayed one night and didn't get to explore many of the common areas in detail. My main complaint is that the four-person dorm room is small and has no window. I could reach out from my bed and touch the edge of the opposite bed. The lockers are also small. If all roommates brought large suitcases, I can imagine there'd be no space to even stand. At check-in, a **zhi** handled the process. Including me, there were only two people in the room, and I was assigned an upper bunk. When there are empty beds, it would be considerate to ask guests if they prefer an upper or lower bunk. The advantages are that it's newly renovated, so all the facilities are new. The hostel occupies an entire building. The front desk and common areas are on the first floor, and you can take an elevator directly upstairs. The signage and directions are quite clear. The location is excellent, right diagonally opposite the East Gate of the ancient city. The entrance is prominent and easy to find, and there are shared bikes right outside. It's also very close to the direct shuttle service station for the East Gate scenic area, making transportation convenient. The room has fresh air ventilation, and the bedding and mattresses are very comfortable. The common area restrooms and sinks are relatively clean, and I noticed the female area has access control, so the security seems quite high. Overall, it's good. I'm happy to see such a large-scale hostel in my hometown. If they could optimize some details, I would recommend it.

Exceeded my expectations! Everywhere was spotless, it's the first time I've stayed in a hostel without using a sleeping bag liner. The shower room was the biggest I've ever seen, and well-designed. The toilet was also very clean. The front desk girl was lovely and even gave me a free bottle of water!

I stayed in a 10-bed female dorm while traveling alone, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations! The room had a fresh air system, so the air wasn't stuffy. It was very clean, and the common areas were tidy. The location is right near the ancient city, making it super convenient for getting around and finding food. The front desk service was enthusiastic, the facilities were complete, and it offered great value for money. Highly recommended for backpackers.

Excellent! It's just a one-minute walk to the direct bus stop. The facilities are relatively new, and there's an elevator. The owner is very nice. The dorms are separated for males and females, and the quad room was very quiet, so I slept really well. There's also a public washing machine and dryer.

The location is great, close to the ancient city, making it very convenient for sightseeing. It's also near the shuttle bus stop for tourist attractions, so getting around is a breeze. The owner is incredibly nice and friendly, and provided us with helpful tourist information. I'll definitely stay here again on my next trip to Datong.
