Datong Hotels with Balcony

This is the third time my family and I have visited Datong. The first two times we stayed in hotels, but this time we wanted to try a guesthouse. After checking reviews on Dazhong Dianping, we chose Bo.Yuan Guesthouse (Huayan Temple Branch) because of the traveler comments and its 4.9 high rating. The experience was excellent, so I wanted to share my review. The day before our trip, the guesthouse manager proactively called us to discuss our itinerary in Datong and our mode of transportation. She also offered a pick-up service, so we provided our travel details. Before we arrived at Datong South Station, a lady called to confirm the pick-up time and location, and informed us of her arrival time. When we got to the waiting area, we waited for about two minutes. The guesthouse lady called again, repeatedly apologizing for being two minutes late. She reconfirmed our waiting spot and described what she was wearing so we wouldn't miss her. When we met her, she didn't look like a typical pick-up driver, but rather a very elegant and young lady. She greeted my family and me warmly, saying, ”I'm so sorry for being two minutes late. The hotel is quite busy today, and the regular pick-up driver couldn't make it. After they told me, I rushed over to pick you up myself. Our hotel values integrity, and since we promised a pick-up service, even if there was no available car, I couldn't use a ride-hailing app. So, I truly apologize for being a few minutes late.” From this conversation, we learned that she was the female owner of the guesthouse. Throughout the journey, she was very talkative and friendly, making us feel completely at ease. She introduced us to the guesthouse and the unique features of Datong, and soon we arrived at the guesthouse. We chatted a lot with her during the short half-hour drive—perhaps it was fate. **1. Guesthouse Environment and Service:** Upon arriving at the guesthouse courtyard, we found it to be a very distinctive Siheyuan (quadrangle courtyard). The staff were all very enthusiastic, proactively helping us with our luggage and offering us tea. Since we arrived before check-in time, our room was still being cleaned. To minimize our waiting time, the owner personally urged the cleaning staff to finish quickly. She also used the waiting time to introduce us to the guesthouse's room features and restaurant. Once the room was ready, our room was on the second floor. The staff proactively helped us take our luggage up and turned on the air conditioning. Inside the room, it felt wonderful. Although the room retained the ancient charm of a Siheyuan, the infrastructure was very modern and high-tech, featuring central air conditioning, button-controlled panels, a projector instead of a TV, and an electric toilet. The hotel amenities also catered thoughtfully to modern women, such as essential oils in the toiletries, and provided toilet seat covers, disinfectant wipes, and wet wipes. Additionally, the welcome fruit quality was excellent; the owner mentioned she personally selected and purchased everything herself. The room was very quiet. I usually have trouble sleeping, but this time, I didn't experience insomnia due to changing locations. Instead, I slept exceptionally well because of the tranquil courtyard. **2. Guesthouse Breakfast:** From the room to the restaurant, every staff member we encountered greeted us warmly. In the restaurant, the staff proactively introduced the breakfast options and asked if we needed any help. The breakfast selection was very rich, combining Western and Chinese dishes to satisfy every guest's palate. There was vegetable salad, fruit platters, coffee, milk, yogurt, sausages, grilled chicken wings, stir-fried baby cabbage, bread, sweet potatoes, corn, purple rice paste, knife-cut noodles, wontons, and dumplings. The ingredients for these dishes were all personally selected and purchased by the owner, ensuring their freshness. All dishes were freshly prepared by the chef and tasted excellent. Although the restaurant might not be as large or offer as many varieties as four or five-star hotels, the quality of ingredients and taste were certainly on par with their culinary standards. Escaping the hustle and bustle of the big city for a weekend in Datong, our short two-day trip is coming to an end. The cultural heritage of Datong, its unique cuisine, and our stay at Bo.Yuan Guesthouse have all left a wonderful impression on me. Next time I visit Datong, I will definitely choose Bo.Yuan Guesthouse again. I wish the owner great success in her business! See you next time, Datong!

Five-star recommendation, I highly suggest everyone visiting Datong choose this guesthouse! We came here to escape the summer heat, and to our surprise, the guesthouse turned out to be the highlight. The manager even helped us skip the queue at Kai Ge restaurant – it was amazing! The breakfast spread is also diverse, with options like wontons and sliced noodles. The rooms are newly renovated and the soundproofing is excellent. The guesthouse itself is a quiet oasis in a bustling area. I especially appreciate the disposable towels and bath towels provided in the room. The mini-fridge also stocks Datong specialties like seabuckthorn juice and apricot juice, all available for unlimited consumption! I'll definitely choose Lanzhu Ting again on my next visit.

This guesthouse in Datong is an absolute gem! The room is huge, so spacious for our family of four. It's incredibly clean, and all the facilities are brand new. The kids absolutely loved soaking in the bathtub. Breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented, starting our day off with a great mood. The owner is super nice and accommodating, always happy to help, and very pet-friendly. All the staff members were smiling throughout our stay. I highly, highly recommend staying here!

Very close to Parkson, the location is excellent, 200 meters from the hotel is the old wood cutting noodles, and there is an electric car for guests to rent at the entrance of the hotel, which is very convenient. Hotel breakfast until 11 o'clock, tastes good, suitable for tourists who like to get up late The room was very clean, especially the bathroom, separated from wet and dry, the bathroom was spacious and the hot water was very flush! The waiter is very good, and the robot can deliver takeaways! Praise

The brand really makes a difference; the quality is truly guaranteed. I've stayed at Huazhu before in Zhejiang, but this was my first time at Lux, and it's definitely a cut above. First off, the decor is incredibly distinctive – the furniture, bedding, oil paintings, and everything else show exceptional taste. The service was also incredibly thoughtful; they patiently explained local delicacies and sightseeing tips. Breakfast was great too, especially the knife-cut noodles, which tasted just as good as any outside noodle shop. We even made coffee soap! It's very convenient for visiting Daiwang Mansion and Huayan Temple. Highly recommended!

I had a wonderful stay! The hotel is in a prime location, making it super easy to get around and explore. The room was spotless, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the bathroom was fresh with zero odors. The front desk staff were warm, attentive, and handled check-in and check-out very efficiently. The room was also nice and quiet, so I got a great night's rest. It has well-equipped facilities and offers excellent value for money. It's also a great choice when traveling with elderly family members. I would definitely stay here again next time—highly recommended!

While we were still in Hunyuan, we received a call from the hotel manager, who thoughtfully inquired about our travel plans and provided directions. Since we had a private car, we didn't need overnight parking. The drop-off point was just a minute or two's walk away. Our driver and guide even mentioned that the owner of Nanshe is a great person and has an internet-famous cat (we later learned the cat, Cuihua, adopted herself and was taken in by the owner). As a cat owner myself, I immediately felt a connection! Upon arrival, I was delighted to see an elevator – perfect for lazy people like me! When we informed the manager that we wouldn't have time for breakfast the next day as we were heading to Jinhuagong for a mine tour, they quickly arranged bread and milk for us to eat on the go. Their efficiency was impressive! The handmade noodles we had for breakfast on the third day were also delicious. Whenever we entered or left, the staff greeted us warmly, and they even helped dry our laundry after washing. Indeed, the homestay recommended by Doubao did not disappoint! If any friends visit Datong in the future, I will definitely recommend this place 😄

Here is a breakdown of what makes this residence a notable choice in Datong: 1. Location & Atmosphere • Prime Setting: It is situated in the Bolan Wulong Lane community, specifically near the Wuding Gate of the Ancient City.  • Convenience: It is within walking distance of major historical sites like Huayan Temple, the Nine Dragon Wall, and the Ancient City Walls.  • Design: The property was designed by a well-known domestic architect. It features a traditional Chinese courtyard layout that provides a quiet, serene escape from the city bustle.  2. ”Light Luxury” Amenities The ”light luxury” (轻奢) label comes from its high-end interior hardware, which stands out among local boutique hotels: • Sleep & Tech: Rooms are equipped with Mousse bedding, solid black walnut furniture, and smart home features like XGIMI (Jimmy) projectors.  • Bath & Grooming: You’ll find Kohler sanitary ware, Dyson hair dryers, and 3M soft water filtration systems for the entire house.  • Appliances: Rooms often include Westinghouse refrigerators and high-quality tea-making facilities.  3.

The bathroom was very small and a little bit smelly but overall we had a good time here and the price was more than reasonable

The hotel is located right within the ancient city walls, next to Daiwang Mansion. The room is quite spacious with two 1.5-meter beds, which is perfect if you're traveling with kids. The room window faces Kui Xing Tower, so you can enjoy the light show at night. The service attitude was excellent; after checking out, I even received a call reminding me that I had left a charger behind. Highly recommended!

This time to Datong, choosing to stay at Shengyajuju is really the wisest decision! From booking to leaving the store, the whole experience is impeccable. Location: The location of the homestay is quiet, it is very convenient to go to the core attractions such as the ancient city wall, Huayan Temple, Kowloon Wall and other attractions, and it is within walking distance. The surrounding life is convenient, but it will not be too noisy, and the rest is very quiet at night. Environmental facilities: I was deeply attracted as soon as I entered the door! The decoration is very distinctive, perfectly integrating classical Chinese aesthetics and modern comfort. The room was spotless, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and I lay on it to remove the fatigue of the journey. The facilities are full marks, high-definition projection, first-class quality toiletries, details can feel the owner's intentions everywhere. Warm service: The hospitality of the boss and staff makes people feel at home. The room introduced the play guide and food map, helping to book tickets, and saving a lot of worry. Featured experience: I have to mention the breakfast near his home! The authentic Shanxi characteristics are clean and delicious, and they are full of energy for a day of play. In short, Shengyaju is not only a place to stay, but also a good memory during the trip. Next time I come to Datong, I will definitely stay again and recommend it to all my friends without hesitation!
