Family-friendly Hotels in Shanxi, China

Yunzeju Inn is very centrally located in the heart of ancient Pingyao. The staff was very helpful and always available. The Hanfu experience was fun and included in our stay. The room was spacious and could fit our two backpacks easily. The architecture of the builging was also a plus.

I stayed for one night at this wonderful hotel, and it was truly a memorable experience. The hotel perfectly captures the essence of historical Chinese architecture, with intricate details and an authentic ambiance that transports you to another era. Beyond its stunning design, the service was exceptional—staff members were warm, attentive, and always ready to help. Every interaction felt sincere and welcoming, making my short stay even more enjoyable. The facilities were well-maintained, blending traditional aesthetics with modern comforts. What impressed me the most was the hotel's incredible location. Nestled in a prime spot, it provided easy access to key attractions. If you appreciate history, culture, and top-notch hospitality, this hotel is a fantastic choice. I highly recommend it!

We had a charmy and relaxing stay in Pingyao. The hotel offers an experience of the past, with the comfort of a modern structure. The staff was super kind and helpful, including free pick up from and drop off to the high speed train station.

This is a very distinctive homestay, the rooms are spacious and clean, the decoration is also very exquisite, the location is excellent, it is only a dozen minutes walk from the attractions and restaurants inside the city wall, the facilities are complete, there is an intelligent voice assistant, and it is very comfortable to stay. The front desk staff are very good, very proactive and enthusiastic, and the breakfast is also good, which is Datong's special knife-cut noodles and tofu powder. I personally think it is very cost-effective.

An attractive, lots of marble, new hotel in Datong, well situated midway between the high speed train station and Datong’s trip venues. Breakfast is an excellent option with many Chinese and western choices in a unique setting. The staff is modestly bilingual and attentive. Good choices in Chinese restaurants about a 10 minute walk away. Rooms are large and very clean. Most western guests will find the internet access challenging. The Yungang caves are a 20 minute taxi ride. Downtown’s temples are 10 minutes away.

You have to stay here! Everything is perfect. Hotel is lovely. Staff are so welcoming and helpful. We had a problem and one staff member had excellent English and could solve our problem. The breakfast in the morning was delicious. Thank you again, I highly recommend your hotel.

Let me first say the conclusion, five stars like. -We checked in on 2025-3-5. It opened in 2024, brand new, with floor heating, very warm, Datong is very cold, minus 10 degrees at night. -The key is that the kettle is also heated, and it feels warm and comfortable to touch. The toilet is smart, and it feels warm when sitting. -The front desk service, a guy and a girl, is called warm, thoughtful, and well-received. -The location is very good, a few steps away from the ancient city wall, the environment around the hotel is very clean, and there is a park across the road. In short, recommended!

This hotel is a benchmark for all seasons. The facilities, services, and supper are first-rate. The fruit snack stand in the lobby is unlimited. The front desk lady and brother have a sincere and charming smile. The location is excellent. It is within walking distance of Datong Ancient City. Shanhua Temple and Huayan Temple can be walked to. Kaige Restaurant Zhenxing Street Branch is about 1.8 kilometers away. The line for dining in is too scary. Take it home and eat it. It's delicious. It's perfect.

It's just across the street from Huayan Temple. Go there when it opens at 8am to avoid tour groups and large crowds. The room is large, and the upstairs is quiet, clean, and thoughtfully provides disposable bath towels and toilet seats, as well as body lotion and facial cleanser. The proprietress is kind and friendly. Datong is not cold at the end of October. Come and experience the charm of ancient buildings in Shanxi! A small suggestion, it would be more convenient to install a full-length mirror behind the door.

I stayed 3 nights in this hostel. I liked it really much. I felt at home there. The owner are really kind, they speak English very well and, they are keen to chitchat with you after your day which is really nice when you are traveling alone. Also the hostel is really clean. On top of that, the hostel is nice with lot of plants. The location is great it's only 2 min walk to reach the old town. To conclude, i highly recommend this hostel in Pingyao and I would come back without any questions. Je suis resté 3 nuits dans cette auberge. Je l'ai trouvé vraiment très bien.

Stayed at Heping Mansion for 2 days, the experience was very good, full of emotional value There are not a few tourists traveling to Pingyao in the off-season. Before arriving at the ancient city, contact the boss to arrange for pick-up outside the city gate. Such services are rare. The decoration of the guild hall is very Shanxi Merchants Guild Hall style, the level is quite high, the off-season room price is very nice, the room is also quite large, the sanitary conditions are also good, the shower spray can be improved, the water is a little small. The boss's service attitude and enthusiasm really made me deeply understand why Shanxi merchants can succeed. Guests staying in the hotel will get a map of the ancient city tour guide introduced by the boss himself. He will answer any questions, and he is humorous. He recommends many restaurants and discount coupons. I went to two of them. The taste is very good and the cost performance is also high. He really has a business mind. Everyone is in a win-win relationship. When checking out, he also gave a souvenir of pollution-free millet. Before leaving, I also bought their vinegar, which is cost-effective.

Excellent stay. It's a massive complex with many sections, looks beautiful day and night, perfect location near entrance gate to city wall and main roads. Room was big, clean, comfortable and nicely designed. Toiletries and breakfast included, good food. Staff very friendly, helpful and patient with my attempts at chinese/using a translator app. Overall great value, no issues at all.

Very very nice stay, Mr Li and Mrs Li were very hospitable and welcoming. Mrs Li makes a very nice local breakfast that is a great start to the day. The property is at a quiet corner within the old city, very near the main sights but yet nice and quiet and night. Room was clean and comfortable. Highly recommended.

Driving from Shandong to Shanxi, I was moved all the way~ Staying in Xie Shengchang Mansion was the best choice, I must praise it! Not only the location is good, the room is good, but the service is better! As soon as the room was booked, the guy in the store immediately called me and added WeChat to confirm the itinerary and time. We first visited Taiyuan for a few days, and then went to Pingyao Ancient City. When we were in Taiyuan, my brother sent us the parking location in Pingyao. We wanted to watch ”Meet Pingyao Again”, and he also helped us book tickets. , it’s more discounted than buying it yourself ~ When I was almost arriving in Pingyao, my brother contacted me and a car would come to pick me up! The guys who picked us up were also very nice. When we arrived, the two guys helped us carry our luggage, provided us with the route map of the ancient city, and patiently helped me make plans. They all thought of everything I needed without exception! Although I had a rough idea of ​​what the room was like when I booked it, the moment I got there I still felt that the courtyard was so beautiful and the room was so beautiful. Not only was the room clean and beautiful, it also had a refrigerator and a wall-mounted drinking water dispenser. There was also an electricity card in the room. , super convenient! This is an excellent location. You can go back to your room to rest when you are tired from walking around in the huge ancient city. It is so awesome! Xie Shengchang not only has accommodation, but also a lacquer shop. You don’t have to worry about the quality if you stay here or buy here, and the prices given by the boss are also amazing! When I go to Pingyao, I definitely want to take some travel photos of the young lady, hey! I also have one at my brother’s house. It’s a one-stop service. The makeup artist Meimei is very patient and the painting looks good. The photos look great and it’s very impressive! With the little brother here, you don’t have to worry about the price, they are all the best! Eating is even more convenient. My brother recommended Kang Qianji across the street. I ate here two days in a row. It tastes good and the price is reasonable! There is a discount for staying in Xieshengchang. Before leaving, the little brother drove us to the parking lot. Where can I experience this kind of service? To sum up, when staying here, I only need to choose the room type I like. , we don’t have to worry about anything else, because the little brother is like a big housekeeper, everything is planned for us very well, I think it’s not an exaggeration to say it’s perfect~ These few days in Pingyao will definitely be a beautiful memory in life ~

This is a gorgeous hotel that is centrally-located inside the ancient city with great service. It’s like living in a museum! The hotel is housed in a thoughtfully renovated ancient college with a beautiful courtyard for chatting, eating, and chilling. The rooms are large, clean, and quiet. I really enjoyed the traditional mat style bed. The hotel is a short walk away from the bustling Main Street. It was very convenient to walk to most attractions inside the walled City. The hotel owner also arranged free transport to take me to the high speed rail station. The service was wonderful. No complaints! If you’re staying here, I recommend checking out not just the ancient walled city but also the ancient temples in the area. I would stay here again without hesitation.

Located in the Pingyao Ancient City Scenic Area, it is convenient to visit the ancient city. The battery car pick-up and drop-off, the room is antique and unique, the owner is very enthusiastic and provides necessary help. The downside is that it is a winter trip, the bathroom is cold and the water temperature of the instant water heater is unstable.

Nanshe is a brand new hotel located in the downtown area. The building itself is brand new, modeled in chinese traditional courtyard style. The area is quiet but close to attractions and shopping streets 大同不夜城. It is located next to the datong ancient city walls north gate, within walking distance to nine dragons wall, huayan temple, shanhua temple and the Southeast Yi Historical and Cultural Block. There is also a bus stop outside that goes round the area.Cab fare is less than 30 rmb to Yungang Grottoes and Datong south highspeed train station. Friendly and attentive staff checking for allergy if any. The owner was kind enough to meet me at the train station. Breakfast is simple fare consists of millet congee with side dishes, tasty noodles in warm broth, toasts and local pastries etc. Freshly made coffee from a semi auto coffee maker. Hotel serves light sweet soup to guests before dinner. Free fruits and cookies in the lobby. Washing machine and dryer are avail for use. My room has an overhead projector with wide selection of movies. Clean and comfortable. Room has many wall sockets for charging. Bathroom is huge. Deposit 200 rmb as all the facilities are brand new. Enjoyable stay. Datong is delightful a comination of the old and new.

It's been a long time since I stayed in a homestay that provides such attentive service. The service is comparable to that of a five-star hotel. The homestay is located in a villa area and is not easy to find. However, before checking in, the lady will call and WeChat in advance to inform the location, and will also inquire in advance whether you are coming by high-speed rail or driving, and will provide pick-up and drop-off services. After checking in, there are welcome fruits and snacks. The lady also thoughtfully sends rose tea, and also provides breakfast (there is a menu for breakfast, you can choose your favorite) because we decided to stay in Datong for one more day at the last minute. By chance, we chose this homestay. Although the room is not very big, it is small but complete. The driver also picked us up to the high-speed rail station the next morning, which brought this trip to Datong to a successful conclusion. Next time I come to Datong for a trip, I must stay at your house for a few more days~

Very close to the Datong South station, about 5 min by car. Spacious rooms, bathrobes provided, excellent tea (proper tea, no teabags!) inside the room. We stayed for 2 days. Easy ride to the ancient city of Datong, about 15-20 min, I think. The only inconvenience was that the heating is on all the time, i had to keep the window openn throughout the night. And the reception is not 24/7 as advertised. When we tried to check out at 6:30 am to go to the Hanging Monastery, there was noone. We called them afyerwards, and everything was sorted though, they even let us come back and leave our bags till the evening when we had spare time before the train.

The guide in Xiaohongshu is full of surprises! Although we didn't book a family room, the 1.35-meter double bed was no problem for our family of three. The room is new and large, with wet and dry separation, good linen, good toiletries, unlimited supply of mineral water and drinks, drinks, fruits and snacks are provided in the lobby, which provides a lot for people who are hot and thirsty after a day of playing. It's very convenient. The room can see the Qingyuan Gate of the ancient city. It's only a 5-minute walk away. The breakfast is even more surprising. I didn't plan to book it at first. After being recommended by the guy at the front desk, I thought the price was good so I booked it. It includes haggis noodles and shaved noodles. Siomai, prawns, fruits and vegetables, drinks, and freshly pressed coffee are all available. Breakfast is served from 7 to 10 p.m. I saw a family with a baby arrived at 9:55, and they were warmly received without any intention of closing the meal. It felt very humane. All in all, I am very satisfied and will recommend it to my friends.
