This was my solo vacation, and the only stop on my itinerary in Datong was a youth hostel. Although it's called a youth hostel, there's a reason I chose to extend my stay. The price-performance ratio was extremely good; considering the overall accommodation price and the hostel's facilities, I found it quite satisfactory. Booking through a third-party platform, an eight-person male dorm was about 35 yuan per night, and it even had a special offer for military personnel (see picture for details). The welcome package upon check-in was generous, including shower gel, shampoo, laundry detergent, bottled water, disposable toothbrush and toothpaste (though I didn't use these), disposable towels, and earplugs—everything you needed! I could even use the washing machine during my stay, and surprisingly, there was a dryer too—a big plus! Personal shoes weren't allowed in the room, which prevented any unpleasant odors. However, it's worth noting that you need to bring your own gloves and three-piece set, and be aware that your roommate might snore, engage in nighttime activities, or even be mindful of your belongings. Consider these factors before checking in. Overall, I personally think this youth hostel is very good.

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.

The room is spacious and clean, and the bed sheets and quilt covers are also very clean. The facilities are relatively complete, and the location is very close to the train station, which is within walking distance and very convenient. Super cost-effective!

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!

The location is excellent, there are shopping malls, supermarkets downstairs, and it is close to the bus station. It is convenient to go anywhere. About 50 flat studio apartments, 8 vertical warehouses, 2 horizontal warehouses, 1 bathroom and bathroom. Men and women live together, it is still safe, the warehouse is slightly hotter than the indoor hotspot, the air conditioner has been 26 degrees, it can be better without the curtain, the curtain is a bit stuffy. The sheets and quilts are generally hygienic.

The environment is good and the location is also good. It is only 2 kilometers away from the tourist center and opposite the bus station. The boss is very nice. He upgraded me to a king-size bed room for free because I was the only one there. I booked a standard room with two single beds.

The room was clean and the service was good!

The staff was very friendly and the clean room and the hotel were very well located from Datung.

Yes, great value for money
