Youth Hostel

The hotel is a great value for money! It's right in the old city center, close to the main attractions within the city and close to the buses, which will take you to the further ones (Hanging Temple and Yungang Grottoes). The rooms not only have an ac to keep you warm during the chilly nights, but also a heated mattress on the bed! Wonderfully cozy 😁! The minus of my room was that the toilet was so tiny, that I could barely close the door and I'm rather short (164cm). Currently the window view was not stunning, as it's a big construction place, but well, that's not the hotels fault and will change soon 🙂. The owners are a lovely elderly couple and there's also a kitty to greet you there 😁! It might be tricky to find the place: it's on the third floor of a building which you enter by a shop with traditional Chinese clothing for rent. Second floor is a photo studio. Despite of the few inconveniences, I'd really highly recommend this place if you are travelling to Datong! 😊

Great place. Shared room quiet. Good AC. Only squat toilet for the shared room.
