The location is great, right on the edge of the old city. It's less than a 20-minute walk to the old city, or a short taxi ride for the minimum fare. Getting to Yungang Grottoes takes about half an hour. The environment is quite quiet and the facilities are decent. I particularly loved that the projector came with VIP access! Breakfast was healthy, clean, and hygienic.

Facilities: The design is excellent, and all the amenities are thoughtfully arranged and very practical. The bed and pillows are incredibly comfortable; lying down felt so therapeutic, and I fell asleep almost instantly.
Hygiene: The hygiene was impeccable.
Environment: The location is perfect, within walking distance of Daiwang Mansion, Drum Tower, and Huayan Temple. After watching the iron flower performance at night, it was just a short stroll back to bed.
Service: The service was incredibly attentive and prompt. The butler recommended many delicious local eateries, and they were all indeed fantastic. The tea at the front desk was also delightful; I'd fill my thermos every time I went out – it was so comforting. They even offered a thoughtful bedtime gift, making the overall experience incredibly pleasant.

Posted on Sep 17, 2026|Courtyard Room - Courtyard-View (Double Bed)
Guest UserTraveling solo to Datong, I was looking for a quiet place to stay for a few days, and 'Zhi Fou Zhi Fou Courtyard Designer Inn' perfectly fulfilled all my fantasies of a 'hidden courtyard retreat.' The inn is located inside Wuding Gate, on Ziyun Huacheng Jiuxianli street, right at the doorstep of Daiwangfu, making it convenient to go anywhere. The north gate area is quiet, and it's an easy stroll to the ancient city center.
I booked the 'Deep Sleep, Leftover Wine | Zhi Fou No. 2 Courtyard · Listening to Rain Family Suite,' which was more than enough space for one person. The room was clean and tidy with excellent facilities. What impressed me most was the bed – the mattress was just right, not too soft and not too hard; once I lay down, I didn't want to get up. I later learned that the owner truly invests in their bedding. The tea room was my favorite spot every day. Brewing a pot of tea and reading a book, with the silhouette of the ancient city wall outside the window, that sense of tranquil relaxation amidst the hustle and bustle is something I hadn't experienced in a long time.
I must particularly praise the service. The owner hadn't eaten after returning from the Hanging Temple late at night, and one of the staff members ran out to buy instant noodles for him. These small details really warm your heart. The free pick-up service was hassle-free, and the owner even helped me book a reservation at Fenglin Pavilion. The welcome fruit and snacks were also perfectly arranged. The inn allows pets without any extra charge. Although I was traveling alone this time, seeing other guests with their dogs sunbathing in the courtyard felt incredibly heartwarming.
The biggest fear when traveling alone is staying somewhere desolate, but here, the elegance of the designer courtyard, the warmth of the housekeeper, and the tranquility of the ancient city wall made me feel incredibly well taken care of. Next time I bring my family to Datong, I will definitely choose this place again.

Guest UserDatong, the ancient city of Shanxi, welcomed me for three days out of my eight-day journey through the province. From the airport pickup and morning meals to the comfortable accommodation and car rentals, the hotel truly embodied the warmth and sense of belonging captured by the phrase 'Datong under heaven, one harmonious family.' The owner personally picked me up, and she was wonderful—elegant, cheerful, and incredibly welcoming. The room she arranged was clean, tidy, bright, and peaceful, making for a truly comfortable and relaxing stay. The breakfast options were perfect for a Cantonese palate, and they even had coffee available, which was a thoughtful touch.

Julz d’traveller*The staff are nice to accomodate us.
*The place is close to the scenic spot (few minutes by car).
*The breakfast is not too bad. Few choices but it will fill you up.No drinks (juice or coffee).
*The accomodation was nice to drop and pick us up at the scenic area.They dropped us off to the bus station going to Datong city.
*Problem was the bad odour coming from the toilet. We think it’s from the drainage. We can’t even open the door for few minutes for air to come in because it is freezing. It’s negative degrees.
*The room was nice and comfortable. I can’t find photos or video of the interior. The size of the room is perfect. It has a long bench.Table with 1 small chair.Tv, closet, slippers,toothbrush, hair dryer,kettle and 2 bottle of water.
*Last picture was epic:)

We had a wonderful stay at 花筑·演真居四合院 (Datong Ancient City Drum Tower Hotel). From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a friendly staff member who went out of his way to provide us with excellent tips on nearby restaurants, which enhanced our dining experience.
The room itself was spacious and warm, offering a cozy retreat after exploring the city. One of the highlights was the beautiful courtyard, which provided a serene atmosphere to relax and unwind. The location is perfect, situated right in the heart of the Ancient City, making it easy to access local attractions.
Overall, our experience was fantastic, and we highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Datong. It truly made our trip memorable!

PiecebypeaceOk so here is my Honest review of this brand new hotel in Datong. I understand this is a brand new hotel so I hope this could help as a honest review.
-Staff are helpful even for foreigners. They do their best to accommodate your questions and are very friendly.
-Rooms are clean with all the necessary amenities.
-Rooms dont smell like cigarettes/smoke unlike gmost other hotels.
-Rooms are fairly spacious.
-location is good, its still a fair 15-20min walk to alot of the sights such as the wall or the drama play but it is close to the fortress wall down south.
-WIFI is very good, great signal.
Things that i think need working on
- The hotel is a little bit difficult to find, i dont recall seeing a sign, maybe becsuse it is brand new. I had to go into a neighbouring hotel to ask if it was the correct one and they helped me call this hotel and actually guided me here.
- Although it says I have a courtyard window it is actually facing inside (as the rooms are undeeground) and the window is facing the hall way lol.
- my biggest complaint is the lack of toilet roll, i was given one roll (which is fine) but the next day they didnt replenish it resulting in me running out...luckily I always keep tissue with me (A must in china for the public toilets)
- As its basement level its hard to pick up reception on your phone.
Overall, value for money I think is great for the location and the cleanliness. A few things to work on but its understandable for a new business.

The hotel is located right by the roadside. It's a budget hotel, and the front desk staff were incredibly welcoming, leaving a lasting impression. Our stay was a pleasant surprise, far exceeding our expectations. From the moment we entered the lobby, the staff's friendly smiles and efficient, professional service impressed us. The rooms were elegantly designed, the bedding was very comfortable, and the bathroom featured a separate shower and toilet with ample water pressure – every detail reflected a commitment to quality.
The hotel's meticulous service was particularly commendable: upon learning we were traveling by car, they proactively offered suggestions on nearby transportation. This provided a perfect way to relax after a long journey.
The excellent location, comprehensive facilities, and personalized service complemented each other perfectly, making for a comfortable and pleasant stay. It wasn't just a place to rest during our trip, but also a part of a wonderful memory. This will definitely be our top choice for our next visit, and we will highly recommend it to our friends and family!

Guest UserAjummah at the front desk is very accommodating. I arrived at 6:30am and they were able to provide me a room at 8am. Very close to the railway station. The downside is room smells tobacco. The common bathroom is extremely dirty and smells like urine. There were even poop left is there without flashing down. I had to go up to the 3rd floor and use the bathroom there instead of the one in our floor.
No towels, toiletries, slippers, hair dryer. If you just need a day to rest that is near the railways station, you can book this, otherwise look for other hotels in the area.

Guest UserWe had an amazing stay and would highly recommend this hotel!
The location is perfect for exploring the city center on foot. The hotel is brand new while beautifully preserving a traditional Chinese style, creating a unique and welcoming atmosphere.
What truly made our stay exceptional was the staff. Everyone was incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help with a genuine smile. They went above and beyond to meet all of our needs and even welcomed us with a lovely afternoon snack, which was a very thoughtful touch.
The breakfast was delicious, authentic Chinese cuisine with a wide variety of choices. We especially appreciated how seriously they take food allergies and dietary requirements, something that is unfortunately not common everywhere. Their attention to detail and willingness to accommodate every request made us feel truly cared for.
We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We will definitely come back on our next visit!
