Hotels With Wi-Fi in Shanxi, China

It is important to understand that the Juxiange Inn is a “homestay” rather than a hotel. It is more akin to staying in someone’s spare guest room than in a hotel. That said, the service is wonderful! The Proprietor picked us up from the train station in his car, then from outside the wall of the Ancient city, used his little transfer vehicle to take us to the inn. He provided us with a map and pointed out the must see sights. He also provided us with a VIP coupon (20% discount) to a very delicious restaurant…so delicious that I ate three meals there! Pingyao Ancient City is truly ancient, rather than reconstructed. There are many small museums, all of which are free if you are 60 years old or older! The Confucian Temple is quite interesting, with it’s strong emphasis on historical education. The Taoist Temples were also quite interesting with their depictions of punishment for evildoers and shrines to honor the God of wealth as well as the Goddess who provides children. Definitely leave yourself plenty of time to visit the Ma Mansion which is very close to the inn. The structure is vast, full of interesting artifacts, and has a whole series of linked rooftop pavilions.

This is a great hotel, and most importantly, it's right across from the airport, perfect for a layover. We happened to arrive during the rain, and the hotel was very accommodating, arranging both airport pick-up and drop-off. If you were to walk, it's not far at all, about ten minutes. However, if you have a lot of luggage, walking might be a bit inconvenient. The hotel's hygiene is good, and the breakfast is also quite nice (the Yuncheng Braised Chicken was delicious). If you have an early flight, you can eat ten minutes earlier and still make it on time. Note: Due to the rain, I didn't get any photos showing the hotel's proximity to the airport.

During the Chinese New Year, I chose this hotel for my family and it was my second time staying here. The hotel is very clean, quiet, and has an antique charm. It's located within the ancient city walls, very close to all the attractions. Just a few steps from the hotel, you'll find Huayan Temple and Chunyang Palace. There's a church next to the hotel, and walking through its courtyard leads you straight to the Nine-Dragon Wall and Daiwang Mansion. For dining, the hotel is also conveniently close to popular spots like Xidao Noodle, Fenglin Pavilion, Laochai Sliced Noodles, Zini, and Longjuxiang, making meals very accessible. The hotel owner was incredibly welcoming; she even brought an additional staff member to help us with our luggage, fearing we had too much. My family thoroughly enjoyed their stay at this hotel over the New Year.

Awesome! 👍🏻 We arrived late by high-speed train, and the owner drove directly to the station to pick us up. All the restaurants in the ancient city were closed, so the owner lent us his electric tricycle to go eat outside the city. Riding that little vehicle through the ancient city at night was truly a special experience, haha. As for the room, it had everything we needed, and the underfloor heating kept it very warm. The large kang bed was quite unique, and even the mouthwash cups were disposable. Since it was the off-season, the owner even upgraded our room. Although the wallpaper was a bit peeling, it didn't affect our stay at all. Moreover, right outside the inn is the owner's own travel photography studio. I'm so glad I didn't book one of those trendy shops recommended online in advance. The photo shoot here was absolutely fantastic 💖. The makeup artist was very gentle and recommended suitable hairstyles and makeup based on my face shape. I loved the photos, and there was absolutely no pressure during the selection process – completely voluntary. A perfect ancient city experience, I'll definitely recommend it to my friends!

Fantastic lodging. Best value I have had in dozens of stays. Clean, classy and large room with huge window to the main streets. Nice little hip cafe in the same hallway on the same floor. Nice bathroom, great bed. The location is also fine, even though it is a kilometer or so to the city walls. The naming Old town guesthouse isn’t much correct, but it doesn’t matter for the overall impression of this hotel.

Traveling to Datong during the off-season was such a great idea! Can you believe I booked this room for just 98 yuan? This Yanda Hotel is incredibly good value for money. It's located near the ancient city, making it really convenient to get around. The front desk staff even gave us a free upgrade from our original family room. The mattress was so soft and comfortable, I slept wonderfully. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Datong.

We enjoyed our stay at Mercury hotel and were particularly impressed by how friendly and accommodating the entire hotel staff was. The hotel breakfast buffet was undoubtedly the highlight. There was a great selection of hot and cold items to choose from. The food was freshly prepared and delicious. It was the perfect way to start our day.

Even though the hotel's facilities are a bit dated, the service and food are absolutely on point! The breakfast was the absolute highlight! Seriously, you're missing out by not promoting it more! The knife-cut noodles (better than any chain restaurant – get the original flavor, trust me!) are a must-try. The tofu vermicelli, kuailai (a local dish), and lamb offal vermicelli are all pretty much on par with what you'd find at good to excellent local restaurants. All the side dishes are quite refined and the ingredients are top-notch. For example, the stir-fried bok choy had very few stems and was incredibly tender! The broccoli and baby corn were also very refreshing! The variety is excellent, with both Chinese and Western options, as well as local specialties. Noodles are made fresh on the spot. It really met my expectations for a high-end hotel breakfast. Facilities: It's an older hotel, so the facilities are indeed a bit dated. Cleanliness: I prefer to wipe things down with my own wipes, but it all seemed pretty clean. Environment: Close to the ancient city and Parkson (a department store), the surroundings are nice, but room soundproofing is just okay. Service: Warm and attentive. Single bathhouse ticket: A Northern-style public bath. Late-night congee service: Didn't try it, no delivery available.

This is definitely one of the top hotels in Pingyao. The location is excellent; it's about a ten-minute drive from the Ancient City high-speed train station, and the hotel even offers a shuttle service. There's a convenience store and a Zhao Yiming snack shop right next to the hotel. For dining, there's a reasonably priced restaurant called Jinweifu about a seven to eight-minute walk away. The room was clean, and the air conditioning worked perfectly, keeping it very warm during my winter stay. The room was well-stocked with bottled water, Coke, and sea buckthorn juice. I received a welcome fruit upon arrival and a farewell gift when I checked out. The breakfast was also very good. Honestly, the amenities and overall conditions here far surpass what you'd find in the guesthouses within the ancient city. If you have the option, definitely stay outside the ancient city walls.
