I travel frequently, and lately, the heat has been unbearable, so I headed to Datong to escape the heat. To enjoy the night view, I chose to stay inside the city walls. I've often heard of Northern Wei Dynasty Datong, and when I saw this B&B with a Northern Wei courtyard, I decided to give it a try. Let me share my experience: the amenities are truly top-tier B&Bs: the private courtyard is incredibly inviting, and the rooms with courtyards are a true treasure! Datong's summer nights are incredibly cool, and it's so relaxing to sit in the courtyard, enjoying the breeze while sipping tea or a beer. The public areas also feature a free movie theater and a stylish bar—no gimmicks! After a day of exploring, curling up on the sofa to watch a private movie or enjoying a tipsy chat about travel experiences in the bar are both excellent choices.
The service touches the heart:
The warmth of home is irreplaceable: From the moment you enter, the smiles and proactive attitude of the front desk staff and every other employee are undeniable. It's not a formulaic "welcome," but rather the natural, caring presence of an old neighbor, soothing the fatigue of travel. This genuine warmth is a core competitive advantage that chain hotels can never replicate.
The heartfelt breakfast demonstrates sincerity: The buffet breakfast is no slouch, boasting a rich variety and a focus on local specialties. A satisfying meal is the perfect start to a restorative day.
In summary: This hotel transcends the boundaries of a "B&B" and feels more like a "living old house." The amenities satisfy your every expectation of quality and cultural ambiance, while the meticulous service and hospitality make you feel instantly at home. In Datong, if you're looking for a perfect blend of the soul of an ancient city and modern comforts, this is the place to be! A certified veteran! The ambiance and facilities are both excellent, and the owner has clearly put a lot of thought into it. I hope his business continues to flourish, and I hope you'll never be unable to find a room again!
