Hotels With bar in Shanxi, China

"The room was quite clean, and the facilities were in good condition, with professional service. I chose this hotel primarily because of its location right next to Datong Ancient City, offering great views and convenient access. It also has a parking lot, and the restaurant's dishes are quite distinctive with a good variety of choices. Although breakfast was average and lacked variety, it was nutritionally balanced and met basic needs. Overall, the hotel's location and the scenic views were what we were most satisfied with. The service was also very friendly and accommodating, always ready to help. The picture below is a photo of the ancient city taken from the room with a regular phone..."

"Had a fantastic stay! We booked the 'sky-light room,' which was very quiet, allowing us to sleep soundly until morning. The front desk attendant was incredibly warm and helpful; she brought ice packs for my wife's sprained ankle and even lent us a charging cable. The guesthouse is conveniently located directly across from the old town city wall entrance, where you can climb up for free to enjoy panoramic views of the ancient city."

"your Frontline staff and the staff IVEY especially was most knowledgeable in specific details. He was able to clearly explain how to go to the night market street and which exit to take at that station. Another day, he was able to guide me when I asked about bookings for Datong, with several pages in English on how to book On departure, they called and got me a taxi to the high speed railway station. Thank you."

"The hotel's location is fantastic, within walking distance to Bell Tower Street. All the young ladies at the front desk were very polite and helpful. We asked them multiple times to help freeze ice packs for an elderly family member's insulin, and they always labeled and handed them over properly. There were no mistakes over our three-night stay, a big thumbs up to the responsible front desk staff! Coming to the hotel itself, on the first night in our large room, we could still clearly hear all the howling and noise from the wild bar across the street as late as 22:40, making it impossible to sleep. After multiple complaints, the staff member on duty kindly helped us switch to a room facing the inner courtyard, and thoughtfully told us we could pick up our luggage the next morning~~ However, the air conditioner vent in this room blew directly onto the head of the bed!!! Travel fatigue + late-night room change + cold air blowing all night = greeted with a cold the next morning 🤒! Although the maintenance department came to install a baffle on the AC vent the next morning~~ still, shouldn't things like this be anticipated beforehand rather than waiting for guests to complain after checking in?! Also, the alternative room we were moved to was significantly smaller than the one we originally booked, yet we were told by the front desk that the price was the same~~ quite speechless! Another thing, there was only one box of facial tissues for the entire room. If you used it in the bathroom, there were none in the bedroom, and if you used it in the bedroom, there were none in the bathroom~~ You can really tell the hotel owner is very... frugal! Haha"

"Truly extremely satisfied! From airport pickup to check-in, there was a 24-hour butler service throughout the entire process. The room is equipped with a coffee machine and welcome fruits, and you can enjoy various delicacies and afternoon tea without even leaving the room. Laundry and drying services are also provided, and the drinking water supplied is VOSS. Tucked away in a bustling location yet perfectly quiet, the ancient city wall completely isolates you from the outside noise. Lying in bed, you can truly feel the unique tranquility of this ancient courtyard~ Having stayed in so many hotels, I really didn't want to check out of this one! Linfen, you are truly such a pleasant surprise ❤️"

"The hotel's location, ambiance, cleanliness, and breakfast were already impeccable, but what surprised me even more was the service, which far exceeded my expectations. I'm truly grateful to the hotel staff for the convenience and services they provided, making our trip full of warmth and comfort. Our family of three set off from Beijing by car on the evening of September 30th, heading for Yan'an. We decided to take a day's rest in Pingyao along the way. I booked a stay at Pingyao Xingshengjiu for October 1st through Ctrip. Less than two minutes after booking, I received a call from the hotel, followed by a WeChat message. They thoughtfully informed me that self-driving vehicles need to be parked in the parking lot outside the ancient city gate, and they would send a car to pick us up. I estimated that I would arrive on the morning of the 1st and asked if early check-in was possible. The hotel confirmed it was, so we immediately set off for Pingyao. The journey was smooth, and we drove faster than I anticipated. As a result, we arrived at the Pingyao Ancient City gate parking lot around 5 AM the next morning. Having driven all night, I was extremely tired and particularly eager to check in early. I sent a WeChat message to the hotel, informing them of our arrival and that they could pick me up whenever the room was ready that morning. In my mind, I thought if they could pick us up around 10 AM, that would already be very thoughtful. To my surprise, just after 7 AM, the hotel contacted me, saying they could pick us up for check-in immediately. For someone who had driven all night, being able to get into bed right away was a huge, pleasant surprise. Usually, hotels don't allow guests to check in so early in the morning. After meeting the hotel staff, the first thing they asked was if we had eaten breakfast. I felt a little embarrassed, but the staff assured me not to be. So, upon arrival at the hotel, we enjoyed another delicious and hearty breakfast. This not only replenished our energy but also allowed us to rest on the morning of the 1st, making our brief stopover in Pingyao incredibly relaxed and allowing us to fully enjoy our time there. One night's room charge, two breakfasts, and effectively an extra half-day's stay – I've never experienced such service at a luxury hotel in a popular scenic area before. Thank you, Xingshengjiu, and I wish you prosperous business. I will definitely come back for a second visit."

"The overall experience exceeded expectations! The big bed room is good and cleaned. The front desk service is professional and friendly, check-in and check-out are efficient, and the communication is very smooth. The pick-up station will confirm by phone in advance, pick-up and drop-off on time, saving the trouble of taking a taxi. The buffet breakfast is rich in choice, fresh and delicious, and you can live in peace of mind and worry. You will give priority to this hotel next time!"

"In recent years, China has seen many design-forward hotels, but most of them fall short when it comes to service. What makes Sunlight Datong (Jià Xià Shān Datong) truly rare is the human touch and warmth that goes beyond standard operating procedures (SOP). From the genuine smiles of every staff member to thoughtful touches anticipated before you even ask, this hotel gives you a reason to return. The service here breaks the mold, putting the guest's needs above all else. For instance, when I wanted to order a drink while staying in the Liyuan courtyard, the bartender personally brought the ingredients and barware right to my room to mix it for me. I spent two nights in the main courtyard and one night in Liyuan; I personally prefer the tranquility of Liyuan—it's a place where you can truly unwind and experience the vibe of Datong without ever stepping foot outside the hotel. A special thank you to the General Manager, Peter Bai, whose vision and professional background truly set him apart from many peers (at least among domestic design hotels). The only downside was the TO SUMMER (Guanxia) toiletries. While I understand the hotel's choice to support a local brand, this particular scent isn't very herbal—it smells a bit like cheap prickly heat powder."

"The hotel is newly opened, simple, fresh, and affordable without any pretentious decor. Its location is very convenient, with a shopping mall and restaurants right across the street, making dining easy. Bottled mineral water is provided in unlimited quantities; once you finish the ones in the room, you can help yourself at the elevator waiting area. A fruit platter with four kinds of fruit is provided daily, which feels amazing to enjoy back in the room after a day of sightseeing. The room also comes with drip-bag coffee; as soon as you open the package, the aroma hits you, and I had to have two cups every single day. The breakfast at the hotel is also very rich and diverse. I stayed for four nights and still wasn't tired of it."
