★★★★★ 9.6 (442 reviews)

"Staying at Ji Xia Shan for four days and three nights in Datong was an absolute delight, a truly pleasant surprise! It was my first experience with the Ji Xia Shan brand, and I'm already looking forward to visiting Meili! We stayed in the Dieyin Courtyard room, which had a small private courtyard. Each tree in the room and throughout the hotel had a tag identifying its species – such a cute little detail. The room's snacks and fruits were refreshed daily, and the nightly sweet soups were never repeated. The first night was bird's nest soup, the second was corn soup, and the third was brown sugar peach gum. Breakfast was a semi-buffet, with small portions allowing us to sample many dishes, which was great for avoiding waste. For our anniversary, the hotel specially decorated our room and even gifted us a delicious, freshly made cake. We felt a bit bad that we couldn't finish it all and caused some waste. The hotel's overall design creates a comfortable and cozy atmosphere, bringing a sense of peace and tranquility. It feels full of positive energy, with its water features and swaying tree shadows exuding vitality and spirit. The staff are all young, well-groomed, and professional ladies and gentlemen. They are warm, generous, and their service is natural and friendly, which was very endearing. Stepping out of the hotel, the view is expansive, directly facing the eastern city wall. Downstairs are Dongnanyi and the hotel's own Yungang Art Museum. During our trip, we caught the 'Pine Under the Mountain' exhibition and learned that the brand's founder is actually from Shanxi. Datong itself is a fantastic city. Besides its numerous ancient buildings that are a feast for the eyes, it has a rich, comfortable, and natural local atmosphere. 😌"

Renyi Inn

📍 No. 56, Zone C, Panjiayuan, Qingyuan Street, Pingcheng District, Datong
★★★ 9.8 (1,044 reviews)

"First off, the location is great! In the center of the ancient city, but at night we don’t hear the crowds outside! The hosts were lovely and very accommodating. I am traveling with 7 family members and they all had an amazing time. The rooms were extremely clean and the hosts were hospitable. When we needed ice packs, cold water, they delivered them and gave us some to go. The courtyard in the center was beautiful, with birds, fish, peacocks. Everyday we enjoyed tea and fresh fruit!"

📍 No. 41, Building 6, Zone 1, Ziyun Huacheng Renhefang, Wudingmen Inner Street, Pingcheng District, Datong
★★★★ 9.8 (532 reviews)

"Our family of four spent one night in Datong to break our week in Beijing, and this hotel was such a breath of fresh air from our more "utilitarian" hotel in the capital. We stayed in the Lushun room. It was modern, clean, airy, and had good room temperature control despite being the shoulder season. Highly recommended if staying there with kids, as they can have their own separate area and parents can truly relax. We didn't try breakfast, though, as it's a 10-minute walk away, and we just wanted to rest in the morning. We just ordered food in."

Dadan Hotel

📍 Shop No. 19, Tongcheng Central, Yingbin Street, Pingcheng District, Datong

"I initially booked for one night but I decided to stay for another night. Total two nights in the same room. Room is very clean, very quiet and the bed was superb, I slept very well. Staff super friendly and helpful. Hotel's location is about 10mins taxi from the old town centre but it is very convenient. If you don't like super crowded area with noisy street vendors and many tourists, I would recommend this place. I personally really enjoyed staying at this hotel, will definitely stay here again if I come back to Datong in future."

"We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff were kind, attentive, and always ready to help. One day, we had to leave early for a tour and were going to miss breakfast and the hotel thoughtfully prepared snacks to take along, which was such a considerate gesture. The room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. The bed and shower were excellent. And breakfast is also very good. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area."

"Overall, this hotel in Datong has a pretty good environment and facilities, making for a comfortable stay. However, some minor details could be improved. For example, there were no shoe-shining supplies, which was a bit inconvenient. It's generally good, but I hope the hotel can pay more attention to these small details to enhance the guest experience."

"Fantastic Datong Stay! This hotel was a gem! From the start, the experience was warm, kicking off with complimentary noodles and coffee—a lovely welcome treat. The staff is exceptional. Even without speaking Chinese, their warm attention was constant. A huge thank you to Rachel and her colleagues! They were an absolute A-Plus for English speakers and flawlessly handled booking my local bus to the Xuankong Temple and Yungang Grottoes. Truly lifesavers! The location is perfect, being just minutes away and easily walkable to both Datong Old Town and the magnificent City Walls. For convenience, there are plenty of local restaurants and a handy convenience store right nearby. The room itself was spacious, spotlessly clean, and refreshingly smoke-free, and the bed was very comfortable. It was great that we could slightly open the window to manage the heat and humidity. (Just a small note: I do prefer a standard showerhead to the rain shower, but that's minor!)"

Datong Jixiashan · SUNYATA Resort Hotel ★★★★★
"Shortly after booking the hotel, I was added to a concierge service group, and they contacted us in advance. The hotel is located within the ancient city, just a 2-minute walk from the Dongnanyi business district. Huayan Temple and Daiwang Mansion are also nearby, making it incredibly convenient for getting around! The hotel's style is perfect for photos, and the bedding is clean and high-quality, which is great for someone as particular as me. The hotel has its own Yungang Art Museum for guests to visit, and every staff member, from the front desk to the back office, was polite and courteous. In the afternoon, they provided tea, snacks, and dried fruits, and for late-night returns, there was a sweet pear soup – every detail was meticulously thought out. Breakfast offered a wide variety of dishes, including salmon, steak, and sliced noodles. During the May Day holiday, there were Guzheng performances and fire pot shows in the evening. It was a very pleasant stay!"

"This is really a luxury. Located within a high end compound. The building is well built and fitted with premium fittings. Even the hair dryer is Dyson. The owner is very friendly. She even took the trouble to pick us up from the train station and send us off. The owner delivered a carton of drinking water to our room making sure that we stayed hydrated. The breakfast was delicious and prepared fresh for us every morning."

Yunzhong Chaoran Pavilion (Huayan Temple Branch, Datong Ancient Town) ★★★★
"The location of the hotel is good, easy access from main road to get big bags to it and also to go around the ancient city both during day and night time to enjoy all the landmarks. Missing signages make it a bit difficult to find the hotel at first. Also, while we had paid for a bigger rooms the room barely had walking space. It had no luggage storage space or cabinet. The washroom and room floor was not cleaned. Staff on the other hand are very friendly and willing to help with all the questions - on local travel, places to see, vegetarian food, etc. They find a way to help to the best. All in all was a good experience and would have been better with some adjustments."
