Datong Hotels with Parking

"This hotel is truly luxurious and conveniently located in the new city. It's my top choice when visiting Datong, as it's not far from the ancient city, museums, Huayan Temple, Shanhua Temple, and other attractions. Downstairs, you'll find Fengling Pavilion, where the shaomai (steamed dumplings) are absolutely delicious. During my stay in Datong, I found the local people to be incredibly kind! I highly recommend everyone to visit Datong at least once if they get the chance, to experience the Northern Wei dynasty's charm."

"This hotel's industrial-chic design creates a sophisticated and unique ambiance. The concrete floors and minimalist layout are truly striking, making every photo opportunity Instagram-worthy. Inside the room, the tatami bed with a soft mattress is a highlight. The bathroom features a dry/wet separation and is immaculately clean with no strange odors, and all toiletries are individually packaged, showing great attention to detail. The front desk offers a complimentary 'treasure chest' of essentials like makeup remover and razors. With shopping centers and parking readily available nearby, it's convenient whether you're driving or using public transport."

"I stumbled upon this hotel and my experience was absolutely fantastic. The overall decor is stylish and creates a wonderful ambiance. My room had a great view, was beautifully furnished, and paid attention to every detail. The cleanliness was impeccable; everything was spotless, and the bedding was soft and skin-friendly, making for an excellent night's sleep. The staff were friendly and provided thoughtful, attentive service, making me feel very welcome. The surrounding scenery and amenities are also great, perfect for a leisurely stroll. From the environment and service to the facilities, I couldn't find a single flaw. I had a truly pleasant stay and it's definitely on my re-book list!"

"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 hotel is a short distance from Datong Ancient City, walkable or bikeable. A taxi costs only 7 yuan. The surrounding area isn't great for walking, so I don't particularly recommend it. The breakfast restaurant is small, and the variety of options is average, not very extensive. The room facilities are also just okay; the bath towels and toilet paper are of very poor quality, not fitting for a Hilton-branded hotel. I hope this can be improved. There also seemed to be an issue with the room's electricity, it was intermittent, and the charging port on the outlet wouldn't charge my data cable properly – perhaps unstable voltage? I didn't investigate further as I was checking out soon. Honestly, this trip wasn't as perfect as I'd hoped, and it wasn't just the hotel. Overall, the service level feels a bit behind first-tier cities, and there's a lot of room for improvement compared to other tourist cities. However, the cultural landscape of Datong is absolutely stunning: the Hanging Temple, Mount Heng, the Ancient City, the Grottoes, Huayan Temple… every single one is unforgettable. In summary, I hope Shanxi continues to improve."

"I stayed in Datong for one night on a business trip. I found a newly opened hotel and thought about being clean. I didn't expect it to exceed expectations. This price enjoys the quality of a thousand yuan hotel! ! (The puppy at the door is weird and cute) I recommend everyone to try it. I originally went out and loved to bring my own hair dryer, but this one is Dyson's! White belt 🤣 Newly opened and sent a small cocktail. It is also very good to drink ～ nice service. Super nice hotel. I hope to keep it. I will set it next time I travel. ❤️"

"Datong Jixia Mountain, 3600 a night – seriously, avoid this place. I guess you could say it's the best hotel in Datong, but by the same token, it absolutely does not live up to its price. Maybe it's because Wen Yu Tang gave me so many pleasant surprises that I had such high hopes for Jixia Mountain, but it turns out, with very few exceptions, B&Bs are just B&Bs. The fact is, don't set your expectations too high. The entire public area feels like it's purely for Instagram check-ins. Everyone comes here determined to get that perfect shot. All the facilities are incredibly user-unfriendly, plus the key card system often takes multiple attempts to work. Inside, the cheap, hard finishes are just indescribable. Did the designer even consider the actual guest experience when they designed this place? The most outrageous issues are the privacy and lighting in the room. The bedroom in my room had a huge glass window directly facing the outdoor corridor, separated only by a wooden fence. I could clearly see the opposite rooms and courtyard. I was hoping the turndown service would be more thoughtful, but the staff didn't even bother to close the blackout curtains on the corridor side. I wanted to get a good night's sleep, but then I realized there were an insane number of light sources in the room. After turning off all the lights, all the switch buttons glowed in the dark. I was already exhausted from a packed day of 'special forces'-style sightseeing, and I couldn't sleep well because of these glowing buttons. Then, early in the morning, I was woken up directly by sunlight streaming in from the corridor. Now I'm utterly exhausted. The only thing I can praise is the staff. They were very enthusiastic and you could tell they tried very hard to meet guests' requests, but the overall service process still felt quite clunky. Never mind. Paying this price really bought me a lesson. The cost of having such high expectations was utter disappointment. (The restaurant food, however, was unexpectedly good, much lighter than outside, and the staff were very warm.)"
