3-Star Hotels in Datong

We had such a lovely stay in Datong! The hospitality here truly exceeded our expectations. The host was incredibly friendly, caring, and always ready to help with anything we needed. They even offered to do our laundry while we were out sightseeing, and folded everything neatly after it dried — such thoughtful service. They also helped us order food and gave great recommendations, which made our trip so much easier. The room itself was surprisingly high tech, with a fun sound control system that made the stay even more enjoyable. Although the room is on Level 2 with no lift, the host kindly carried our luggage up during check in and brought it down again when we checked out. Their helpfulness really made a difference. Breakfast was lovely — nutritious, tasty, and just the right kind of start before heading out to explore. Overall, we felt very welcomed and well taken care of. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Datong.

The hotel is located in the southeast corner of the old city, close to the attractions. The room is not big, but the facilities are new and very clean. There aren't many breakfast options, but the taste is decent. The only downside is that the bathroom has an odor. This is because the floor drain uses a gravity-flap cover, which doesn't seal tightly and has gaps, allowing the smell to come up. I suggest replacing it with a water-sealed type.

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.

As a solo traveler, I was a little apprehensive before my trip, secretly hoping there wouldn't be any unpleasant surprises, but it turns out I worried too much. This place boasts an excellent location in Wulong Alley, with beautiful surroundings that are safe and comfortable, and fully equipped facilities. Because it's not right next to the busiest snack streets, it's very quiet at night, allowing for a truly restful sleep – huge thumbs up! It's close to the North City Wall and convenient for visiting attractions like Huayan Temple, Daiwangfu, and the Nine Dragon Screen in the ancient city. It was also easy to reach all the eateries on my must-try list, such as Longjuxiang, Zini 369, Heshengcai, and Xijindao Snacks, and I managed to check them all off! I passed by Kuixing Tower and its wishing doll countless times; perhaps it was fate, haha 😄. For those who are too lazy to even walk a kilometer, there are shared bikes available. The owner is incredibly welcoming; they contacted me half a day in advance, added me on WeChat, and waited for me at the entrance. They went over all the important details and even asked about my breakfast preferences for the next day. The breakfast itself was perfectly portioned, exquisite, and nutritious. This place exceeded my expectations, another big thumbs up! Choosing this accommodation has made me even more excited for future solo travels. I hope the owner's business thrives, and I look forward to returning with my child and family sometime in the future for another visit.

The room was spacious and bright with two windows. Upon entering, I was immediately struck by the small Buddha statue on the bedside table – quite charming! The area under the windows was decorated with flowers and small ornaments, creating a cozy atmosphere. The bedding was clean, the mattress was just the right firmness, and I slept very comfortably. The sink was clean and hygienic, and toiletries were provided. There's a small courtyard downstairs, and we happened to be there during the first snowfall of the year 🌨️ The owner had built two chubby snowmen – a truly playful owner! 😍

This stay would have been absolutely perfect if it weren't for the 3.5x price hike during Golden Week. Of course, setting aside peak tourist season and my own bad luck, I was genuinely thrilled with this hotel. First off, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We received a welcome gift upon arrival and a small souvenir when we checked out. They also offered coffee and a late-night snack service, and even included access to the 4th-floor gym (unfortunately, we had to leave too early on our last day to try it out). Basically, they thought of everything a guest might need. The coffee shop on the ground floor has a really charming ambiance; I even saw a foreign guest enthusiastically typing away on their laptop, which really conveyed the comfortable atmosphere. The staff's recommendations for nearby shops and eateries also showed their love and pride for the local area. And indeed, turning right outside the hotel revealed a plethora of fruit and breakfast shops. Of course, if you're willing to venture to Sunji Baozi near Taiyangcheng, that's also a great option! Back to the room: it was incredibly spacious and newly renovated! The pillows and mattress were firm enough for a very comfortable rest, and the bed was huge! The shower had a thoughtful curtain, the water pressure was strong, and the hairdryer was super powerful. I particularly loved the scent in the bathroom; it smelled very natural, not artificial at all! Could I buy some of that scent, by any chance? The reusable slippers provided were excellent. The rubber sole design clearly considered the hotel environment – no wonder the packaging said you could take them if you liked them! I was genuinely tempted! The only minor flaw was the lack of a refrigerator in the room, perhaps because Datong's weather doesn't really require one… In terms of location, it's right by the ancient city. It's walking distance to both the tourist shuttle and the ancient city itself, though it might be a bit much if you're tired and feel like taking a taxi. For dining, it's very close to several popular restaurants, though we didn't get to experience any during Golden Week. All in all, this is definitely a hotel I would recommend to friends!

This place is really close to attractions like Huayan Temple and Daiwangfu, and all the famous restaurants are just a short walk away. You step out, and you're right at Sipaifang and the Grand Mosque. The owner is super friendly, the underfloor heating in the room kept it toasty warm, and the cleaning lady did an excellent job.

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.

Vienna 3 Best Hotel (Datong Branch) offered an excellent overall experience. The location is very convenient, making it easy to get around and find places to eat. The room was clean and tidy, with a cozy and comfortable decor. The bedding was soft, and the soundproofing was also quite good. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, and check-in was efficient. The facilities are comprehensive, and it offers great value for money. I was very satisfied with my stay and highly recommend it to everyone.

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.
