Family-friendly Hotels in Shanxi, China

The environment of the inn is very good. There is a lively market right outside the door. The service attitude of the store is very good 👍 If it is not a holiday, I really want to stay there for a few more days. I will stay at his house next time I come!

This Inn is managed by a family that is very nice. Once you arrive from the train station (Pingyaogucheng) with a taxi, they come to pick you up to the Inn (2 min) because the taxi isn't allowed inside the ancient city. They offer to drive you one way to or from the train station (it's free). I was in a room with a traditional atmosphere (with a kang bed having a mattress a little harder than others).

If you're only in Datong for a short time then location matters. The hotel tries hard with free canned drinks, welcome dessert and friendly staff but there are no shops next to the hotel at all although you can walk to a local neighbourhood about 700-800m away. The old city wall is not exactly near even if you can see parts of it from your hotel window. There is no subway in Datong so if you're interested in attractions in the old town then you need to factor in taxi costs unless you fancy a bit of a walk in the bitter cold. Breakfast is very local and very substantial.

We spent two wonderful nights at Yungang Hotel in Datong. First of all, our deepest gratitude to Yang wen yuan - 杨文元. When booking from Europe, we did not realise correctly the time required to get to the caves and to the hanging monastery (a must view when in Datong). We thought that by using public transport we could manage to do both in a short period of time. So wrong! We arrived and Yang wen yuan - 杨文元 reassured us and in less than 30 minutes he was able to help and book for us a private car for the next day. He made our stay unforgettable. Thanks a lot from both of us if you are reading ! Plus, this hotel is wonderful : super new, technological and the staff is super kind (from the ones in the lobby to the ones in the restaurant/cafeteria). Breakfast is amazing. You can have everything, freshly made for you.

The owner arranged a shuttle bus to pick us up at the B&B in advance. He took the initiative to introduce the map of the ancient city as soon as we arrived, and spoke very humbly and politely. The room is equipped with comfortable bedding, many details are well done, and there are sensor lights. The courtyard layout is not vulgar and it really fits the name of Dayin. The service from check-in to check-out is excellent. If you need anything, they will follow up immediately. Highly recommended

Very comfortable! The lobby is very comfortable, the corridor is very comfortable, the room is very spacious and great, and the room is smart; the three-separated bathroom is great, and the space is also very large! I came by car, and told the lobby that I could park for free according to my license plate number~ The takeaway arrived before us and was placed in the lobby first haha ​​(the delivery robot was stupid and always hit by the elevator door haha ​​😂)! Overall it was great! The auntie who cleaned the room was also great! (The three local meals I had in Datong in the past two days were all delicious! Attached to the picture haha~ Coarse Grain 369 Grain, Fenglinge Weizhuang, Lao Datong Hotpot (Laolongyuan Store)! None of them were bad! Love it!! (Oh, the hotel gave a breakfast coupon~ There were a lot of breakfast items, and there were not a lot of people~)

Another wonderful stay with the lovely Pipa Inn. If you travel to the gorgeous old town of Datong, this is where you must stay!!! The staff are so friendly, the rooms and hotel are beautiful, great location in the middle of the old town and the inn can arrange a driver to get you to all the historical sights. Highly recommend.

Super good. There are fruits and supper every day, and the breakfast is very rich! It is close to the ancient city. The ancient city is newly built. You don't have to live there, but the ancient monuments are in the past. It is especially suitable for renting a car and driving. This time I stayed for 3 nights and drove to the Hanging Temple Yingxian Wooden Pagoda; Yungang Grottoes. I returned the car at 4 pm and went to Huayan Temple; I went to the airport after visiting the museum.

It's a very cozy courtyard. It's independent and quiet when the door is closed. It feels like home. The breakfast is home-cooked and very comfortable. The boss is very nice and answers all questions. He responds promptly when communicating via WeChat. The young lady in the store is really nice. We sat at the south gate when we went there. The boss promptly arranged for the young lady to pick us up and drop us off when we left. When I arrived at the bus stop, I gave various instructions, which was very considerate, and even gave me some old vinegar! Next time I have a chance to come to Pingyao, I will lock in this place!

It's just across the street from Huayan Temple. Go there when it opens at 8am to avoid tour groups and large crowds. The room is large, and the upstairs is quiet, clean, and thoughtfully provides disposable bath towels and toilet seats, as well as body lotion and facial cleanser. The proprietress is kind and friendly. Datong is not cold at the end of October. Come and experience the charm of ancient buildings in Shanxi! A small suggestion, it would be more convenient to install a full-length mirror behind the door.

A small suggestion, it would be more convenient to install a full-length mirror behind the door.

When we arrived we were given the wrong room in B tower with single beds, we had to go back downstairs and show the booking again to request the correct double room in A tower. The rooms and amenities are old, and the fridge is broken. I called reception who told me to bring any items I want to cool down to the reception and use their fridge, when I asked if we can swap the broken fridge for a working fridge, they said all of the fridges are like this. They won't admit the fridges are all broken, but all of the fridges in the hotel are warm and won't make your food / beverages cold. The hotel is in dire need of an upgrade, and they need to replace the fridges.

I went on a spontaneous trip with my friends. I chose this homestay because I was attracted by the decoration style of the villa. I stayed here for 4 days and 3 nights. I have to say that it was really comfortable. The staff was enthusiastic, the service was in place, the station was picked up, there were fruit snacks every day, and delicious Tremella pear soup was delivered after the trip. All kinds of bottled water and drinks were free to drink. The breakfast provided was also very fresh, and you can arrange the time for the dishes in advance. The facilities here are complete, Dyson hair dryer, mousse bedding, projection TV, L'Occitane toiletries, which are very classy. The most important thing is that this is the Wulongxiang Villa District, the environment is good, it is really quiet, and I rested well at night after a day of play. The location here is not far from the attractions in the ancient city, and you can get there by strolling. Finally, I would like to thank the beautiful girl Xiao Zhang for picking us up and taking on multiple duties. Whenever I see her, she is either cleaning the room, cleaning the yard, watering the flowers, and wiping the tables and chairs in the yard several times a day. She is really hardworking and very attentive when I ask her for help. Datong, we will come again and choose to stay here again!

The room is clean and elegant, and the house is spacious and relaxing. Facilities: very humanized and considerate Hygiene: clean and tidy, spotless Environment: fresh and quiet Service: human care is everywhere This is a very good accommodation experience, worth recommending

Oh, follow Wukong to travel in Shanxi. The first stop we came to Datong, where we not only felt the beauty of ancient buildings in Shanxi, but also felt the warm reception of local staff. The most impressive thing was that I spent an unforgettable birthday at Wantu B&B. The charm of this ancient city is perfectly integrated with modern comfort, which makes my experience full of surprises. The party carefully planned by my friends made me feel the warmth and joy of home in this historic city. As soon as I stepped into the B&B, the antique decoration and warm atmosphere immediately made me feel at home. The warm reception and meticulous service of the staff made this birthday party more colorful. They not only provided the perfect venue layout, but also ensured that every detail met our expectations, making my birthday party unique. In the embrace of the ancient city of Datong, we enjoyed food, music and laughter. Every moment was full of warmth and happiness, and these beautiful moments will always be treasured in my memory. I would like to especially thank my friends for their efforts to make my birthday so special, and also thank the staff of the B&B for their professionalism and enthusiasm to make this party more perfect. This trip to Datong is not only a journey, but also a touch of the soul. I will always remember this special birthday.

I am very proud of the inn. It has a good location and is very close to the north gate of the ancient city. It is very convenient to go to Shuanglin Temple by car. The room is neat and clean, and the lady boss has a great attitude. Recommended to stay.

The boss is enthusiastic and the service is thoughtful! The experience is very good, I will come again next time! The original Pingyao ancient architectural structure house, the courtyard is deep! Really good ”mansion”! Super good! 👍🏻

Facilities: The room is Xiaodu smart, and you can open and close the curtains, lights, and check the weather through Xiaodu. The air conditioning and shower are great, and it's very comfortable to live here. What's particularly humane is that the pillows are hard and soft, suitable for different people to choose. The breakfast is also very good, and the freshly ground coffee is very fragrant. Hygiene: Very clean! There is also a book introducing Pingyao in the room Environment: It is on the main road of the ancient city, opposite the Confucian Temple. We have students coming, and the room can just see the Confucian Temple, which is very happy. Service: Give Xiaohui 🌟, who served us, a five-star praise! The service is really thoughtful and meticulous, and it feels like home. Recommend cake shops for us, assist in room renewal, arrange car pick-up, etc., all done in every aspect! Specially recommend the hotel's resident tour guide: Wang Lingyan, who accompanied us for a day, explained the various highlights of the ancient city, and recommended restaurants that were delicious. She is the best tour guide we have met in Shanxi. In short, I am very satisfied and highly recommended! Come again next time~

The hotel is in a residential area, about ten minutes' drive from Pingyao Ancient City. There is a shuttle bus from Pingyao Ancient City at the door. It has no doors and is the kind of sightseeing bus used in scenic spots. According to the solicitors, it seems to be 10 yuan per person. It feels unsafe and I dare not sit on it. Looking out from the hotel room, there is no scenery at all. It is all construction sites, and the parking lot has not yet been built. Various trucks carrying sand and gravel are moving gravel. When driving by, the soil is violent and the environment is extremely poor. The room is relatively small, the bathroom is even smaller, and the shower is quite comfortable. The biggest complaint of this trip is about the breakfast. It seems that there are many kinds, but none of them are delicious. The noodle stall was not good, the stir-fried vegetables and fried rice were almost cold, and none of the fruits had any sweetness, they all felt terribly cold. The only delicious ones were the five-grain soy milk and the red date soy milk, which are worth recommending. I don’t know what was added to the corn juice, it doesn’t taste right. In short, I am very dissatisfied with this most expensive hotel in the whole trip. I feel that from the environment to the facilities to the service to the dishes, it has not reached the opening level. I originally booked this hotel just to have a hearty breakfast, but I didn't expect the quality to be so poor. . . I will never go there again. It would be more interesting to live in the ancient city and experience a more unique B&B.

The hotel is registered as one of the historical buildings in Pingyao ancient city. The hotel is beautiful, decorated with wooden ancient-style windows and doors with small courtyard in front of our room. Inside the room is modern style, spacious and high ceiling while the outside yields an ancient atmosphere. We also like the hotel location. It is in a quiet area but easy to commute to many attraction spots with not a too long distance walking. We have no complaint on overall facilities. The owner and his wife are also friendly and helpful.

Very satisfied! The biggest worry when staying in an inn is the toilet, but this hotel is newly built. Not only are the toilets and other facilities intelligent, but the rooms are also separated from dry and wet areas. The seats, kang beds, etc. are arranged with attention to detail and are designed to be very clean and spacious! In addition, the highlights that have to be mentioned are: 1. The overall building is very beautiful, no matter day or night, the design is exquisite, no wonder it has become a photo spot for young ladies from Shanxi merchants; 2. You can directly make an appointment at the inn to choose clothes and take photos, which is very cost-effective. It is also convenient for taking a shower and removing makeup before going out; 3. The location is very close to the North Gate, so it is very convenient to get in and out. It is not far from the main street, so it is quiet in the bustle.

The environment of the inn is very good. There is a lively market right outside the door. The service attitude of the store is very good 👍 If it is not a holiday, I really want to stay there for a few more days. I will stay at his house next time I come!
