3-Star Hotels in Shanxi, China

The hotel is decorated in the ancient Chinese style. The location is very good and on one main street. The rooms are very pretty and also decorated in ancient style but also feel new and very clean. the staff is very friendly. And the provided gifts are great 😃 breakfast is also tasty. I would come again.

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.

Great location and looks pretty cool. But its nothing more. And I didn’t like Pingyao. Way too touristy. Also there was a bar next to the hotel which was a bit bothering when i tried to sleep. But it was ok. Friendly staff. But when it come to the laundry service its weird. You have to ask the staff if they can turn on the washing machines which just stands in a random spot. Then you have to hang your clothes in the backyard

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.

The location is great, near Liuxiang, with plenty of food options and easy access to transportation. On the second day, housekeeping left a note saying they wiped down our luggage. However, on check-in day, the room temperature was around 26 degrees Celsius, and the air circulation was poor. I'd subtly sweat even when doing nothing, though I initially dismissed it as me not being used to the 10-degree outdoor temperature. The next day, after returning from sightseeing, I found the AC on cool, yet the room was still at 27 degrees. The in-room phone to the front desk didn't work, so I used my mobile to call and ask if the high temperature could be adjusted. The front desk replied that the AC system had been broken for the past couple of days and said they'd check if housekeeping had a fan. About half an hour later, a man, not in uniform, knocked and said the hotel had no fans and the AC system was broken, with no solution available. It was already past 11 PM, so I didn't want to engage in a fruitless conversation and let him go. Later, past midnight, I noticed bloodstains on the pillowcase. I felt it wasn't worth bothering with, so I just set the pillow aside and didn't report it to the front desk.

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.

This is my second stay here. The hotel is located in the city center of Changzhi, and the presence of a City God Temple nearby makes shopping and dining very convenient. I stayed here while visiting the Baquanxia Scenic Area. Changzhi truly is a summer resort; it's not hot at all outside.
