Hostels in Shanxi, China

I arrived in Datong on a whim and booked this hostel last minute. I stayed in the 12-bed dorm which is a large dorm with a small table and chairs, lockers, a sink to brush your teeth/wash your face and a private bathroom (with a hot water shower and toilet). The beds were comfy and have curtains and the airconditioning is strong. WiFi works well too. The dorm and the bathroom are cleaned every day. The hostel provides face towels, earplugs, toothbrushes and toilet paper. There is a comfortable lounge area just outside of the dorms. It is really a great hostel, but there is one negative aspect, the private bathroom: the glass is semi-see through (which isn’t too bad since there are just women in the room), but it lets through all the noise and light. So when somebody goes to the toilet and turns on the light the whole room lights up which even with the curtains closed will disturb your sleep. Also, the toilet flush is very loud so every time somebody flushes the toilet it can be heard through the entire room which again disturbs sleep. If you’re a deep sleeper or don’t mind wearing ear plugs then I can definitely recommend the hostel!

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. There is quite a bit to see around Lingqiu, and I should have stayed one extra night or two. Miss Liu (刘小姐), the front receptionist, was extremely helpful, even going all the way to accompany me to the bus stop to catch the bus heading to the Pingxingguan Battle site. Miss Liu also assisted with booking a cab for my visit to the Jueshan Pagoda. This famous Pagoda was founded before England was established by William the Conqueror (if I am wrong, then pardon me, but the Pagoda was built sometime before 1077 A.D. during the Northern Wei Dynasty). Miss Liu also directed me to the gravesite of King Wu of the Northern Wei Dynasty which is right in downtown Lingqiu. There are numerous restaurants within walking distance of this hotel. One restaurant, next door to the right of the hotel, serves a wondering braised fish; the other a few doors away, sells delicious meat pies. My room was professionally cleaned and serviced daily. The hotel even allows me to doze off on the reception floor sofa to await my night train to Beijing. I will return to this hotel if I return to Lingqiu.

For the price, it was everything you need! Clean spaces, comfortable capsule bed, drinking water, towels and shower slippers. The location is a 20 minute bike ride away from the ancient city center, but there are plenty of supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The hostel provides earplugs which significantly increase comfort of sleep, as the floors are quite squeaky. I am very happy with my stay and would come back again!

I came to Datong and stayed here for three days. Downstairs is the antique street of the ancient city. It is very close to Huayan Temple. It is very convenient for shopping and eating. It is a youth hostel run by an old couple with a very good attitude. There are also two big oranges in the store, one is a relative and the other is aloof, which is very nice~

This place is romantic and literary, and it is really suitable for feeling the atmosphere. It is perfect for relaxing during holidays, so go for it with confidence! The cost-effectiveness is really high, and the transportation is very convenient, everyone can come and experience it! The store is very spacious and the atmosphere is very good. The whole process was really comfortable.

1. Although the room is not big, it is clean and hygienic. This is a place that can reassure guests. 2. There are also many places to eat around, which is very convenient.

This hostel is very good! Friendly service and all help with questions. The location is also good, located a stone's throw from the city wall. Historical building with nice decorations. Friendly house dog that comes to meet you barking happily.

國慶節前預訂了君華賓館，雖然賓館的門面不大，裏面的設施齊全，房內整潔乾淨，價格實惠。賓館位置據柳巷，鐘樓街，食品街，晉商博物館都很近步行方便。特別好賓館老闆熱情❤️🔥 ，衹要顧客需要合理都能滿足。值得表揚的是我於10月6日離店，走時匆忙將眼鏡丟在了賓館，回到蘇州才發現眼鏡不見了，此時打電話與賓館聯繫，老闆得知後在賓館住處終於找到丟失的眼鏡，並寄給了我。再次感謝！此行留下來非常好的印象。

This hotel is located right in front of Taiyuan Station. It's cheap. It's on the first basement floor of a building. The single room is quite small, about 1.5 tatami mats, and has no windows. It's not very clean, so it's good for people who just want to sleep.

The overall environment is general, it is recommended to look at the environment before deciding.
