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.

Highly recommended! The service at this Datong hotel is top-notch, so heartwarming it almost brought tears to my eyes 😭 My experience at Jixia Mountain Datong Hotel: My wife said, ”From check-in to check-out, I felt like a pampered princess the whole time!” 👏🏻 A big shout-out to the General Manager! His bilingual skills are impressive, effortlessly switching between English and Cantonese. He immediately stepped in to patiently assist a few foreign guests who needed help. This kind of 'attention to detail' service really resonated with me! 🌄 When we were watching the sunrise over the city wall in the morning, the front desk小姐姐 (young lady) quietly filled our thermos with ginger tea. She said, ”The morning wind is strong, have something warm.” This was the first time I encountered turndown service where they actually pulled the duvet up from the bottom. Even at the St. Regis Macau, I always had to struggle to pull the duvet up myself. These unexpected moments of warmth made the entire trip feel incredibly special! 💡 Little tips: The hotel offers a guided tour service for the art gallery daily. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby offer stunning views of the sunset. It's advisable to bring a jacket as there's a significant temperature difference between morning and evening. I've already decided to bring my family back for a second visit! Such a service-oriented team deserves recognition 👀

Before booking, I was most concerned about the air conditioning, and I finally got to experience it firsthand. Datong's heating supply runs until April 15th, a full month later than Tianjin. During the heating period, the hotel's air conditioning only provides heat, not cool air. So, contrary to what many online reviews suggested, I couldn't use the AC to cool the room and had to rely on opening the windows to alleviate the heat. However, I couldn't keep the windows open while sleeping, which left me feeling very dry and uncomfortable when I woke up. The first night of my stay was the second day of the Qingming holiday. When I showered that evening, the water pressure from the showerhead was pitifully low, so I had to make do with the handheld spray. Thankfully, the bathtub's water temperature was reliable. By the second night, with a drop in occupancy, both the breakfast service and the shower pressure were much better. The swimming pool is open from 6 AM to 9 PM. I feel it opens too early and closes too early. Wouldn't 8 AM to 11 PM be better? The hotel lobby is very spacious. Since Fenlin Pavilion is located in the Wyndham lobby, the Yungang side actually feels more upscale and grand. Fenlin Pavilion stops issuing numbers before 7:30 PM and closes at 9 PM. For lunch, they're open until 2 PM. Commercial facilities in Datong really aren't that competitive. There's no sliding door between the room's bathtub and the bed, so privacy is nonexistent. The omnipresent crystal chandeliers and mirrors give off a somewhat 'Middle Eastern prince' vibe. The sensor-activated nightlights near the floor get a hundred stars – they're incredibly convenient for midnight bathroom trips. Even a coffee machine and a refrigerator are provided. The breakfast's 'dao xiao mian' (knife-cut noodles) are a specialty, and the coffee is good. However, the dessert selection is meager, with only one or two options.

Our group of four went to the Shanxi First Hot Spring Hotel, thinking it would be conveniently located within the Wang Family Courtyard. We ended up loving it! The hotel environment was superb! 👍🏻 Getting up early to climb the city wall and see the swirling mist was like stepping into a fairyland. The air was fresh, the hot spring water smooth, and the night view even more beautiful! Dinner was delicious, and breakfast was plentiful! Everyone is planning to come back! The manager, Xiao Wang, and my husband hit it off immediately, and he even gave us souvenir coins!

I've been to Xinzhou Ancient City a few times, and I genuinely feel that Futian Yuhua Hotel is the absolute best hotel here. The rooms are spotless, they deliver fresh fruit daily, and the beds are incredibly comfortable. The private hot spring bath experience was fantastic, and there was a constant supply of complimentary drinks every day. From the moment you step through the main entrance, you notice the incredible attention to detail – it's clear the owner has excellent taste. From the moment I called about parking, a butler was already waiting at the entrance. The service was warm and thoughtful. When leaving, they even reminded me to take a complimentary bottle of water and offered tissues, showing how much they genuinely care for their guests. On the day of check-in, I couldn't figure out the stopper for the hot spring pool, but after a quick call, someone came to help within less than a minute. I'll definitely be bringing my family back to stay here again in the future and will highly recommend it to my friends.

The hotel facilities were good and breakfast was decent, but the check-in experience was terrible. When I turned on the faucet after checking in that night, the water was yellow and cloudy the entire time. I followed the front desk's advice to let the water run for nearly an hour, but there was no improvement. After contacting them again, housekeeping came to check and suggested a room change. I asked to see the water quality in another room first, and was told it was 'a bit better'. It was already 11 PM and I didn't want the hassle, so I agreed to deal with it the next day. What was most disappointing was the complete lack of follow-up from the hotel, no apology, and no compensation or reassurance. They basically left the problem for the guest to just put up with. The next day, no one bothered to ask about it, as if nothing had happened. The service attitude was incredibly perfunctory and completely lacked any sense of customer service.

The hotel is equipped with five stars. The hotel staff service is particularly good, super warm, really at home, like a spring breeze. The hotel has complete supporting facilities and a swimming pool. The room was very clean and tidy, responsive, and I had to take a bath and asked for a disposable bath cover, which was provided soon. The breakfast is particularly rich, there are dozens of breakfasts, less oil, clean, authentic taste, and the chef's utilitarianism is very deep. The hotel has a free shuttle bus, and you can also take the shuttle bus in the scenic spot for free. The hotel is located at the entrance of Xiangfu Manor on the mountain, surrounded by mountains and rivers, birds and flowers, beautiful water, especially loose and leisure, called the Hilton in Huangcheng Village, more than anything else. The parking lot is large and parking is very good. A worthwhile trip, highly recommended.

The room was decent. As for breakfast, I'm honestly speechless – it was the absolute worst five-star hotel breakfast I've ever had. There was practically nothing. I couldn't find a toaster for my bread, and after searching for ages, it was tucked away behind the counter. Were they afraid I'd steal it? They claimed to have honeycomb, but after another long search, I couldn't find it. When I asked a server, they pointed to a few wires with a wooden frame hanging on them and told me that was the honeycomb. I just laughed. The only edible items were the freshly made knife-cut noodles and wontons.

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 moment I moved into ”Xunsu”, I fell in love with it! I was gently awakened by the waves in the morning. The simple design is full of ingenuity - the smart home silently integrates into the natural atmosphere. I love the soft linen couch by the bay window, where I can read a book or be in a daze for a while, and time is so slow that I can hear my heartbeat. The bedding is as skin-friendly as clouds, and even my picky partner rarely praises ”the deep sleep”. The local seasonal fruit plate prepared by the housekeeper is warmer than expected. If there is a regret, it is probably that I couldn't stay a few more days to fully collect this poetic feeling.
