I want to share my positive experience of staying at the hotel, which was booked through the app. From the beginning, it was pleasant to surprise the team's speed: all messages were answered quickly and politely, which created an excellent first impression.
On arrival we met a driver with a sign with our names, which was very convenient. There was a big queue at the customs office and we went out almost the last, but the driver waited for us, which says a high level of service. He took us to the hotel and it was very comfortable.
At the hotel we met a wonderful girl named Mio who immediately helped us buy a local SIM card, the driver took us to the communications salon. It was very convenient as the connection was necessary for further travel. Throughout our stay, Mio answered all our questions, making our stay even more pleasant.
Breakfasts were not only delicious, but also very interesting, reflecting local culture. They were served with great attention to detail. Every day they offered a variety of dishes that allowed us to try traditional treats.
The hotel itself is located on the territory of the banned city of Datun and is made in Chinese style, which adds a special atmosphere. The room was stylish and comfortable.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent service in this hotel! I would especially like to note Mio, who provided invaluable assistance with the transfer to the railway station during our departure and took it by private car. It really made our journey more comfortable. It was especially nice to receive a small gift when eviction a set of aroma tea. It was very unexpected and pleasant!
We have remained very happy with our choice and I would like to recommend this hotel to anyone who plans to travel to this city.
Thank you to the team for excellent service and unforgettable impressions! Thank you for a wonderful rest!

This guesthouse boasts a wonderfully elegant ambiance and a truly superb location. Stepping out, you're right on Gulou East Street, perfect for exploring, and Southeast Yi is just a few minutes' walk away. Despite its bustling street location, the guesthouse's courtyard offers surprising tranquility. We slept soundly through the night and woke up naturally, completely undisturbed.
The owner and the housekeeper were incredibly thoughtful and attentive. They were always ready to answer any questions, from before our arrival until our departure, and their responses were always very detailed. Every day, the housekeeper would kindly ask us what time we'd like breakfast the next morning, and at the agreed time, she'd even come to our room door to let us know it was ready.
I absolutely adored it!!! If I ever visit again, I would definitely choose Yishui Street.

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 UserThe hotel is located right within the ancient city walls, next to Daiwang Mansion. The room is quite spacious with two 1.5-meter beds, which is perfect if you're traveling with kids. The room window faces Kui Xing Tower, so you can enjoy the light show at night. The service attitude was excellent; after checking out, I even received a call reminding me that I had left a charger behind. Highly recommended!

Guest UserI've been to several provinces and cities, but my trip to Datong, Shanxi this time was truly exceptional. It was during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the hotel gave us a complimentary souvenir. They even offered late-night snacks. The gym, however, was inaccessible even with the room card; I'm not sure what was going on there. The front desk had fruit and candies, and the service was genuinely great. If any friends are coming to Datong, Shanxi, I highly recommend staying at the Ailai Hotel. Even the name is well-chosen – it truly makes you 'love to come' (ài lái)!

The 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.

The hotel has very spacious and comfortable rooms. The breakfast is only Chinese, but rich and plentiful. We can't comment on the location because we always took taxis to the attractions around Datong (the wooden pagoda, hanging monasteries, and the Yungang Grottoes), but right next to the hotel are plenty of restaurants and places to grab a quick bite. The staff seemed helpful, but no one spoke English, so we had to use a translation app, which wasn't always accurate, and communication was somewhat hampered.

Anonymous UserThe location is decent; the hotel is about a ten-minute walk from the east gate of the ancient city, which is quite convenient. The hotel's facilities are average. The front desk and room service staff are quite good, but I have to complain about the security guard at the entrance. The hotel clearly has both above-ground and underground parking spaces, and there are plenty of them. When we first arrived, there weren't many above-ground parking spaces, and when we asked if we could park underground, they kept telling us there weren't enough spaces and no one was watching over the area. After parking above ground, when we checked in, we asked the front desk if there were any underground parking spaces, and they said there were, and plenty. We went down to check, and even a third of the spaces were empty. Later, we learned that to park underground, we had to honk the horn at the entrance, and the security guard would manually open the gate. I wonder if this is why they don't like guests parking in the underground garage.
