Hotels With Pools in Shanxi, China

The hotel I chose based on the plane was very nice, with a relatively large yard for walking. We stayed at the last hotel facing the runway, and the captain and stewardess of Shenzhen Airlines also stayed at this hotel. It was pretty good.

I specifically booked a small courtyard room with a private hot spring. Unexpectedly, this impromptu decision turned out to be the perfect and unexpectedly perfect part of my trip. The moment I arrived, I was captivated: the bluestone path led the way inside, first around a small koi pond, and then around the corner, I stumbled upon a staircase and a library. The moment I opened the door to the small courtyard, I couldn't help but exclaim, ”Wow!” A few lush bamboos lined the courtyard, and the room boasted a private hot spring, a large bed with thick gauze curtains, and a small coffee table on the tatami mat nearby. Just thinking about sitting here sipping tea after a soak in the hot springs filled me with a sense of comfort. Even more heartwarming was the front desk attendant—seeing me carrying my luggage, the young man immediately came over to take it. Without waiting for me to ask, he proactively said, ”The courtyard you reserved is at the very back. We'll take you there.” He explained everything along the way, from how to use the private bathhouse and whether to add extra bedding to which mutton soup restaurant in the ancient city is the most authentic and the best photo spots with the lights on at night. He explained everything in detail, making it easier than having a travel guide. This little world in Xinzhou Ancient City, with its elegant pavilions and flowing water, and its cozy atmosphere, as well as its genuine hospitality, brought a heartwarming end to this prayer trip. It turns out that sometimes, not following the plan can lead to unexpected beauty!

We spent out last night of our trip at Kempinski Taiyuan, and it did not disappoint. The receptionist upgraded up to a room on a high floor with a view of the city. They also gave us fresh fruits and free minibar. They had everything you would expect of a five star hotel, and the location is in a bustling part of the city. Would definitely come back.

The room was clean and tidy, the cleaning service was in place every day, the service was particularly intimate, and the stay was at ease! The hotel's breakfast is varied and nutritious, with hot dishes, porridge, steamed buns, sweet potatoes, taro pumpkin and other multi-grain staples, pastry bread and milk! Especially praise Zhao Junchen of the catering department for helping to find seats, serve meals, and the service is hot and thoughtful! There is also Zhang Pengxia, the service housekeeper, who carefully prepared children's slippers and dental appliances!

Hygiene: Excellent. All towels, bath towels, and bathrobes come in sealed bags, which made me feel very secure using them. Facilities: Excellent. Although it's an older hotel, the showerheads show their age but are very well-maintained and work perfectly. Environment: The location is great. The room card gives access to a small gate leading to Yingze Lake Park. It's a nice two to three-kilometer loop for a leisurely stroll. Service: Excellent. They offered complimentary welcome fruits, and you just scan a QR code to request more amenities. There's also a delivery robot that brings food right to your door, all very convenient. Suggestion: I hope they can switch from instant Nestlé coffee to pour-over coffee bags. Instant coffee feels too low-end and doesn't match the hotel's overall quality.

The hotel is beautiful; it's like staying in a former Wang family manor – a very unique experience. The heated kang (traditional heated brick bed) room is quite special, and a butler even helped with luggage. The hot spring is natural, and the outdoor pool is very comfortable. Two days after checking out, I suddenly realized I'd left my camera in the locker in my room, but the hotel found it promptly – a close call! They're very reliable. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Lingshi. 👍

You absolutely have to experience Datong's most beautiful hotel. And indeed, it lived up to expectations, incredibly photogenic. Two Wyndham hotels share one building. To check in, head to Feng Lin Ge, where there's a giant pink diamond in front of the reception. That's where the scenic photo ops begin – every step is a new, fantastic photo opportunity. The room was very comfortable, a stark contrast to the nightclub vibe of the public areas. Checking in also came with a great 100-60 voucher for Feng Lin Ge downstairs. The TV showed the menu and breakfast information, which was a thoughtful touch. The breakfast in the basement was pure Datong-style Dubai luxury. The dishes were comparable to what you'd find at weekend buffets in other hotels, featuring specialties from Feng Lin Ge, as well as steak and seafood. The best part was the array of beauty and wellness teas. After eating, you could easily spend a whole morning just taking pictures. The only downsides are the lack of a gym and a swimming pool. Getting to the ancient city requires a taxi, but thankfully, nothing is too far in Datong. It offers excellent value for money in winter.

This should be the best hotel in Changzhi, Shanxi. It has a great location. It is adjacent to Changzhi Museum and within walking distance of Guanyin Hall. The floors and rooms are very clean. The waiters are very enthusiastic, and the service in the restaurant and at the front desk is very professional. Changzhi is a small city, and Runerlai Hotel is very convenient to reach by bus from the East High-speed Railway Station and the airport. Recommended.

Our stay at the Datong Yungang Hotel truly exceeded expectations! The hotel's overall decor is opulent and magnificent, grand yet tasteful. The room was exceptionally spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering expansive views – cityscapes during the day and distant ancient city lights at night. It was a very comfortable stay. Families with children needn't worry at all – the hotel is very kid-friendly, and the staff would proactively smile and greet our child. The swimming pool was clean and the water temperature was just right, though at 1.6 meters deep, it's more suitable for adults or teenagers who can swim. Little ones would need extra caution regarding safety. The biggest surprise was that Fenglin Pavilion, a super famous local restaurant in Datong, is located right on the hotel's first floor! For dinner, we tried their signature Sweet and Sour Mandarin Fish (Songshu Guiyu). It was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, with a perfect balance of sweet and sour. The sauce was glossy, and the presentation was exquisite – absolutely textbook quality. Our entire family raved about it! Our room was spotlessly clean, and parking was incredibly convenient – the underground parking lot is huge, making self-driving trips stress-free. Plus, it's only about a 30-minute drive from the hotel to the Yungang Grottoes, so the location is quite ideal. In summary, whether for a family trip, a holiday, or if you want to experience high-quality accommodation in Datong, this place is highly recommended! We will definitely choose this hotel again on our next visit to Datong!

This is a great hotel! The rooms are very spacious, bright, and well-lit, equipped with all the necessary amenities. The front desk service was excellent; Duty Manager Yoyo was particularly warm and attentive, ensuring all our needs were promptly met, which was truly heartwarming. There's free parking available, and the location is very convenient – a direct passage on the first floor leads straight to the shopping mall, which was super handy. Highly recommend it! The hotel's breakfast offered a wide variety of healthy and delicious options. The Chaoshan cuisine at the Chinese restaurant on the 5th floor was incredibly authentic; my husband even said it tasted just like his mom's cooking! The restaurant staff were also very welcoming and enthusiastic. We'll definitely stay here again on our next trip to Taiyuan.
