3-Star Hotels in Shanxi, China

The hotel is located in a beautiful restored traditional house on the very center of Pingyao. The room was clean, comfortable, and everything worked as expected. The hotel offered a few complimentary services too, such as a fish spa and a traditional Chinese costume, which made our stay a little more fun. The staff was kind and helpful.We highly recommend the Elsewhere hotel!

Although it's close to the airport, it was quiet at night. We booked a 360° airport view room, hoping to see planes, but the windows faced a wall, so we couldn't see any, which disappointed my child a bit. The bathroom lighting was too dim, and there was no toilet seat cover, so you'd need to bring your own. The value for money was just okay; we only slept for 7 hours before checking out.

Excellent value for money and a fantastic location. They offered free clothing, and for just 80 yuan, I got a full styling session. We took photos right in the hotel with an OPPO X8 Ultra, and they turned out amazing! My wife was thrilled. The results were just as good as professional studio photos we've had taken before, but at a fraction of the cost. We'll definitely bring our daughter back here for a photoshoot sometime. When we checked out, the owner even gave us two bottles of homemade vinegar as a gift.

Stepping into Datong Ancient City in the afternoon, the first pleasant surprise was stumbling upon Renyi Inn. The inn's antique courtyard, adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, and warm red lanterns, instantly brought a sense of calm. The family who runs the inn is incredibly humble and kind, their conversations warm and thoughtful, making you feel right at home. What's even more admirable is their exceptional care for animals; the inn is like a mini-zoo. They treat every little creature with gentleness and patience, which in turn fills the entire courtyard with life and spirit. Upon entering, a majestic grey parrot, both poised and lively, greeted me from the front desk – I'd never seen such a large pet parrot before! Two smaller parrots chirped happily nearby, completely unafraid of strangers, lively and adorable. Outside my room was a small courtyard with two tea tables. After a 'special forces'-style day of temple hopping, when I was tired to the point of tears, sitting there enjoying a cup of tea was incredibly relaxing. In the adjacent fish pond, a dozen or so vibrant koi, each weighing at least two to three pounds, swam gracefully, their bodies stretching elegantly. Next to the pond, a large and a small tortoise slowly ambled, quiet and therapeutic. In a corner cage, a tiny grey squirrel darted around, agile and playful. As dusk fell, watching the lights reflect on the pond and listening to the soft sounds of the small animals, the weariness of travel seemed to melt away in this gentle atmosphere, leaving my heart filled with peace and healing. I thought this wonderful experience was complete, but to my surprise, a new delight awaited me the next morning – two peacocks, 'Wenqing' (blue and white) and 'Xiaofeng' (emerald green), strolled leisurely in the courtyard with their magnificent tails fanned out – yes, they even have names! The eye-spots on their tail feathers shimmered, as if they were wearing the entire starry sky, beautiful like something straight out of an ancient painting. For a moment, I couldn't tell if I was in an inn or a secret wonderland. Renyi Inn is far more than just a place to stay; it's a hidden gem within the ancient city. The harmonious coexistence of people and animals creates a warm and healing atmosphere, adding countless gentle and delightful moments to this journey.

Sanmei Boutique Hotel is located in a bustling area of Taiyuan, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, and the facilities are comprehensive. I especially appreciate that each room comes with a washing machine, which is very handy for guests to do their laundry. The staff are warm, attentive, and provide excellent service. Overall, it's a great choice!

A rather mediocre experience. I've been a Ctrip member for 15 years and rarely leave bad reviews, so I'll give this a passing grade of 3.0. The main reasons for the average experience were: 1. My baby had a fever in the middle of the night and couldn't get up the next day. I wanted to take some breakfast back to the room, but they wouldn't allow it, and the staff's attitude was quite stiff. At over 1700 RMB for two nights for three adults and one child, the price wasn't cheap. Since the hotel couldn't be understanding towards me, I can't be understanding towards them in my rating. 2. There must be floor heating or central air conditioning, because the room was extremely dry, even drier than indoors in Beijing during the heating season.

Chose this newly opened Cat's Horizon for my trip and it was a great choice! No regrets here. The environment is excellent, with a spacious and bright lobby and rooms. The decor details are really well done. The cleanliness is reassuring, and the service is on point; check-in was fast, and any issues were addressed promptly. Being a new establishment, it offers great value for money. Definitely my top pick for accommodation when traveling!

This hotel offers excellent value for money. It's newly opened with modern facilities, attentive front desk service, and a delicious and exquisite breakfast. The convenient location is close to both the old town and the business district. Highly recommended! Five-star rating!

Facilities: Very comprehensive. Cleanliness: Clean and tidy. Environment: The courtyard is beautiful and close to the main street, making taxis and the ancient city easily accessible. Service: Excellent. My child couldn't get out of bed, so the auntie cooked wontons for us to take back to our room. They also offer a shuttle service, which was very convenient. I'll definitely stay at Yunmeng Pavilion again next time I visit.

The basic requirements are met, and the room is quite spacious. There are automatic curtains. Cleaning is done daily. However, I think the comforter is too heavy and oppressive; I would have preferred a thinner one for summer. This one feels like a winter comforter.
