Datong Hotels with Balcony

"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."

"My child absolutely loved this room! Besides being spacious, it was incredibly well-equipped. They even provided free earplugs and makeup remover wipes, not to mention complimentary tricycles and bicycles for exploring the ancient city. It was very quiet at night, making for a peaceful sleep. And the front desk staff? Their service was exceptional – truly made our stay comfortable and pleasant. The breakfast, served on a street in the ancient city, was just a few hundred meters away."

"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 facilities are complete, very new and clean, and the rooms are very spacious. The environment is very good, there is a sense of design, the whole hotel is fragrant, and there is a children's play area. The front desk and the health aunt have good service, parking is convenient, and there is fast charging. The price is very high, I am very satisfied with the first day of Datong, and I continued to live the next day."

"Traveling back to Inner Mongolia from the south, I could have stopped in Zhangjiakou for the night. But knowing Datong Hotel used to have bathtubs in its rooms, I decided to push on to Datong. Turns out, the bathtubs are gone, removed. (A bathtub, or the lack thereof, makes a difference in a hotel's class!) I asked the front desk, and they replied that many guests didn't like bathtubs. Do you honestly believe that 80% of guests, presumably referring to 'farmers' (a term the reviewer uses with a condescending tone, implying a certain demographic), dislike carpets? Are you going to remove all the carpets in Datong Hotel then? Do you believe that 50% of people dislike air conditioning? Are you going to rip out all the AC units too? At least keeping some rooms with bathtubs would have been an option. Besides, you can still shower in a bathtub. I can confidently say that the general manager of Datong Hotel understands neither hotels nor hotel management and operations. Are they just a mid-level bureaucrat from the state system?"

"The room was spacious, and the bedding was comfortable. The room was clean, and the location was excellent, not far from the high-speed train station and Datong Ancient City. The breakfast was rich and varied, and the service was great."

"Stepping into the room, I was instantly wowed by the seamless blend of technology and aesthetic design! The in-room smart voice control was incredibly responsive. The bedding felt like sleeping on clouds, and the separate wet/dry bathroom design was absolutely perfect. Every detail exuded a light luxury vibe; staying here felt like a top-tier reward for both body and mind~ 🌟 The location is super convenient, close to everything. It was easy to get to popular foodie spots and explore the ancient city's attractions. The hotel service was also excellent; they helped with luggage storage, and there was even traditional clothing available for a fun experience!"

"真的是各種細節太驚艷了，前台小姐姐熱情周到，早晨會打電話詢問你怎麼過來，我説打車，她告訴我快到了給她打電話她出來接，我們正好帶着孩子，拿着行李，也不用在導航位置了，真的很貼心，然後辦理入住的時候也是給拿了小孩拖鞋和牙刷，這點我覺得真的很周到，我們一般去別的酒店都沒有專門給小孩的東西，這點太讚了，孩子也特別高興，再説説房間，我定的房間在負一樓，來之前前台告知已經把新風系統和空調都打開了，屋內温度也適合，屋裡貼心的還放了小食和飲料，樓下空間也特別大，總體真的超出預期的滿意，孩子説衹想在酒店呆著，哈哈哈，不想出去，而且還有一個值得誇讚的就是一次性浴巾特別特別大，可以包住孩子，孩子洗完澡也不怕受涼，真的給用心的酒店點贊👍大同很好，下次還來。"

"Digging up a treasure! This homestay is definitely the biggest surprise of this trip ✨ This time I went to Datong to play, the most correct decision was to book this homestay! Real name Amway for everyone! 🌟 📍 [Transportation is super convenient] The location really has nothing to say, it is within walking distance from Shanhua Temple, Huayan Temple, and Southeast Shanghai. It is very convenient to go shopping or go to the scenic spot. The surrounding local representative restaurants are all available, too friendly for foreign tourists! 🏠 [Full score for hardware facilities] The real scene of the room is better than the photo! The decoration is very design and full of details. The mattress is moderately hard and soft, and I sleep until dawn. The smell of toiletries is also very good, and the room is also intimately equipped with laundry detergent 👍 💁 [Butler service intimate] Must praise the housekeeper! From the beginning of the reservation, the whole process was online, and a detailed road map and surrounding guides were sent in advance. Warm reception at check-in, responsive, but not excessively disturbed, this sense of proportion is too good. 🥞 [Breakfast is amazing] Originally, I didn't report much hope for the breakfast at the hotel, but I was shocked! Not perfunctory bread and milk, but freshly made [local special breakfast, knife noodles and lambs are super delicious, fresh ingredients, super delicious, pastries are homemade without adding, I feel relieved to eat 🌳 [Beautiful environment and healing] The owner's aesthetics are very online. The overall decoration of the homestay is exquisite. It is a beautiful courtyard house with a beautiful small yard/terrace surrounded by green plants. It is very pleasant to sit in the yard and blow a hair and drink some tea. It is also equipped with basic fitness equipment and washing and drying equipment, which is very convenient! Hygiene: The manager is very careful to close the health situation of the restaurant and public area. There is no floating dust in the corner. It is really rare. Yuyuaner • Tingqi Afternoon Tea: Afternoon Tea and Good Night Sweet Soup are very good! In short, I can feel that I am a homestay managed with heart. I will stay here next time I go to Datong!"

"Traveling to Datong with my parents and children, as soon as we got out of the car, a security guard (Shi Lei) opened the door for us, insisting we didn't touch it ourselves. The lobby manager also seamlessly took our luggage. Maybe it wasn't peak season yet, but check-in was smooth. However, I didn't see the welcome fruit mentioned in other reviews. We bought some fruit ourselves, and the staff helped peel it and sent it back to our room. We could also ask for more bottled water if needed. Since we were going to the Hanging Temple the next day, we requested a packed breakfast with bread and milk, which was enough to fill us up. On the third day, the breakfast in the restaurant was very rich. I'd like to commend the ladies in the restaurant (Zhang Xiaoqing, Cao Xiaolin) as well; seeing that my child hadn't eaten much, they even offered to pack a bread for us. The complimentary bathhouse tickets weren't wasted either; it wasn't crowded, and it felt much more satisfying than showering in the room. After the bath, the ladies (Zhang Limei, Jiang Jinlian) brought us water and towels; they were so enthusiastic. Overall, all the staff members were incredibly warm and welcoming. Although the facilities are a bit dated, I would definitely stay here again next time I visit Datong."
