Datong Hotels with Gym

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!

Terrible! I strongly object to secretly leaving positive reviews using a customer's phone. I will definitely leave a positive review if asked, but doing so secretly is going too far. I stayed two nights and placed two separate orders. The first night, I arrived at the hotel at 11 PM, and the door lock wouldn't lock, and the security zipper was missing. The staff tried to fix it, but couldn't. I had to make do for the night without being able to change rooms. The second night, I called to ask for a room change, and they readily agreed and even gave me a gift (two bags of cold noodles and three drinks). My stay was very pleasant. On the third day, when I checked out, the front desk, perhaps afraid of leaving a bad review, asked me to leave a positive review. I said okay, I was in a rush to catch my flight, I'd leave it later. The front desk then said, ”Could you please pull up your Ctrip order so I can check it?” When I handed the phone back, I saw them tap it and return it to me. I realized they had left a positive review. I was in a hurry to get to the airport and didn't have time to leave one. I find this behavior very offensive. Do they treat their customers like dirt? This is the first time I've encountered such an employee among all the Manxin stores nationwide. Shouldn't we improve the quality of our employees?

One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at in China! We honestly didn’t expect to be this impressed. From the moment we arrived, everything was absolutely perfect. The hotel itself is incredibly beautiful and atmospheric. Every corner is thoughtfully designed, making it feel like you’re staying in a boutique museum rather than a hotel. The entire property is incredibly aesthetic, and every part of it is a perfect spot for beautiful photos. We stayed in a stunning two-level room, which completely exceeded our expectations. It was spacious, stylish, exceptionally comfortable, and spotlessly clean. Every little detail had been carefully considered. The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of Datong Ancient Town. We could walk everywhere, with all the main attractions, restaurants, and beautiful streets just a few minutes away. The staff were some of the friendliest we’ve ever met. Everyone was genuinely welcoming, kind, and always happy to help, making us feel at home from the very first moment. Breakfast was also excellent. Instead of a buffet, a freshly prepared traditional Chinese breakfast was served each morning. It was delicious, beautifully presented, and the perfect start to the day. One of the nicest surprises was that guests can borrow traditional Chinese costumes free of charge for a photo shoot around the hotel. Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough free time to try it ourselves, but it’s such a wonderful idea and gives us another reason to come back. We travel a lot and have stayed in countless hotels around the world, so it’s actually very difficult to surprise us. But this hotel genuinely did. If it were possible to give 100 stars instead of 5, we absolutely would. Even if we really wanted to find something to complain about, we honestly couldn’t. Everything was simply perfect. Without any doubt, this is one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had. If we ever return to Datong, we won’t even consider staying anywhere else. We will definitely come back. Highly, highly recommended!

This guesthouse is located within the ancient city, offering great convenience for getting around. The courtyard, with its blue brick architecture, exudes a charming North Shanxi vibe. It's a quiet place, very clean, and the toiletries provided are high-end. The breakfast is exceptionally refined, and the butler service is attentive and responsive to any needs. Staying inside the ancient city makes evening strolls through the night scenery incredibly convenient, which really enhances the travel experience. I'll definitely choose this place again when I visit Datong next time.

If travel is a form of self-comfort in life, then enjoying the journey is an even more wonderful experience. Encountering the Mercure Datong South Station hotel felt like a dream, opulent and grand. In the scorching summer, I enjoyed my holiday time, free from trivial worries, to experience a city, a story, and leave behind laughter. The room was immaculately clean, spotless, and all guest rooms featured luxurious fabrics, furniture, and facilities. The rich yet vibrant color scheme, bold and grand layout, and gracefully natural lines provided me with a comfortable, cozy, and supremely luxurious experience. Everything was perfectly placed and readily available, with smart home controls throughout, including a smart toilet and complimentary soft drinks in the fridge. This truly showcased the hotel's people-oriented, emotionally-driven, and customer-centric service philosophy. The branded toiletries were even more high-end and luxurious. Despite being the height of summer, the room was pleasantly cool. The staff proactively greeted me and were happy to assist with anything, and the self-service laundry made my stay worry-free. The breakfast was also delicious, every dish and drink made me linger and savor the experience. The initial joy of meeting something new must withstand the test of time to become a lasting companion. As time flows by, in my heart and in my eyes, you will always be my exclusive memory – Mercure Datong South Station!

Staying here, for the price, the room amenities are probably among the best in the area. The room came with a Dyson hairdryer, Malin+Goetz toiletries, and I think Ora2 toothpaste, plus a huge vanity. The slippers and bedding were incredibly comfortable. The mini-bar was also very thoughtfully stocked with drip coffee, nuts, and local specialty drinks. Overall, very satisfied. Dining: The breakfast was genuinely excellent and great value. The hot food section offered local Datong specialties that were even better than what you'd find outside. There was also a dedicated daily recommendation for 'local snacks and desserts.' The fruits and other dishes were both abundant and fresh – fantastic. Experience: The service was very attentive. When I was checking out, I had my hands full and couldn't carry a water bottle, so the front desk lady even gave me a cross-body bag for it. In the evening, I enjoyed the complimentary cocktails; the bartender lady introduced many local Datong delicacies, making this trip to Datong even more perfect. I would definitely recommend this to other friends! I also didn't get a chance to use the Haagen-Dazs voucher.

I booked a twin room for the summer. First, the good points: The hotel is very new, and there's a common area on the third floor atrium with a nice environment. The washing machines are good. Breakfast was great, and the breakfast staff and front desk personnel were very friendly. They provided toilet seat covers, which was excellent. It's about a 15-minute taxi ride to the ancient city, which isn't too far. Not far from the hotel, there's a main branch of a noodle shop where local residents have lunch and dinner. Now, for the downsides: Some rooms overlook the parking lot, so you might occasionally hear some car noise, but it's not too disruptive. The sink is right by the entrance, which makes the room feel a bit cramped, and the toilet is quite close to the bed. Overall, the price isn't expensive, and the service is good. There are a few minor drawbacks, but they are acceptable. I recommend Du Ji Sunit Hot Pot, about 2-3 kilometers away, and Long Ju Xiang's takeaway for milk skin yogurt!

It is truly a stroke of luck to stumble upon such a heartwarming hotel during an exhausting journey. I chose the Mercure Hotel at Datong Wanda Plaza simply because it was close to the high-speed railway station for a hassle-free trip, but I never expected to find so much comfort and peace of mind. On the day of my check-in, an unexpected heavy rain hit. Arriving at the front desk covered in mud and fatigue, I was greeted with a cup of welcome tea that felt like a warm embrace. The front desk staff were gentle and welcoming, and the check-in process was smooth and unhurried, completely dissolving the rush of travel. The room was impeccably clean with a minimalist yet cozy setup, and the soft bedding ensured a sound and restful sleep that washed away all my road weariness. The thoughtful amenities—such as the self-service laundry and the gym—are exceptionally friendly for travelers. Breakfast was filled with local warmth: a steaming bowl of sliced noodles (daoxiao mian) and sheep’s offal soup instantly gave me a true taste of Datong's local flavor. It’s not just a place to crash for the night; it feels like a gentle harbor along the journey. An unexpected encounter filled with delight and pleasant surprises. Because of you, the memories are all the sweeter—Mercure Datong Wanda Plaza!

The location of the hotel is perfect. It is the right place to stay when visiting the Hanging Temple and Jin Temple. The room and bed are large, especially suitable for bringing children. It is no problem for a family of three to stay in a big bed. The bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas. The breakfast is also very good. Overall, it is very cost-effective.

Excellent service with a fantastic attitude. The location is super convenient, right next to Laoye Temple Flavored Restaurant and Kaige Restaurant. It's also just 2 kilometers in a straight line from the ancient city. The hotel's food and beverages are great value for money. Parking is hassle-free. The only downsides are that breakfast gets very crowded, and the quality and variety could be improved. Overall, it's a good hotel with great value, definitely recommended!
