Hotels in Dongxin Square, Datong

The rooms and bedding are up to the usual Intercity standard, which is fine. However, the service was really poor. To be honest, I stayed for two nights; the first night was over 700 yuan, and the second was over 600 yuan. I understand it's a holiday, but for that price, I expect at least the same level of service as a normal season hotel like All Seasons or Crystal, which cost only 200-300 yuan. Instead, I paid that much and still had to put up with the front desk's attitude. I checked in on the afternoon of the 19th. The oldest lady at the front desk – why should I have to deal with her attitude when I'm paying to stay here? I had already specified in my booking not to have a room at either end of the hallway, but she assigned me one right next to the elevator. She told me it was an upgrade, and I initially agreed. But after being in the room for a minute, I was so worried about the noise that I went back down to tell her I didn't want the upgrade and preferred a standard room, as long as it wasn't at either end. Her face immediately dropped, and she started ignoring me, refusing to talk to me. She then had a younger girl help me. That's when I realized the room I originally booked wasn't available. After waiting a while, they finally found another room at the other end of the hall, at least not right next to the elevator. I just accepted it. The next night, she was on the night shift. They were all sitting there, laughing and chatting, I don't know what they were doing. I went over and asked if the bar's beer was drinkable. One staff member told me it was out of order, even though the day before, we both heard another guest being told it was fine to drink. I thought I'd just try it out once since I was checking out the next morning. It was very disappointing. I've stayed at Intercity hotels in other cities before, and the service was never like this. It's a holiday, and I understand you're busy. But I've paid good money, so why do I have to put up with your attitude? Oh, and when I checked out, another staff member took my room card without even looking up. She asked how my stay was, and I said it was okay. She just said 'good' and that was it, still without looking up. They didn't even offer a bottle of water, let alone a farewell. Oh, and the second day we went out, the cleaning staff who tidied our room didn't restock the drinks in the fridge. I called the front desk, and they said they'd bring them up. A little while later, the cleaning staff knocked on the door and said they forgot to put them in. Throughout all this, no one seemed apologetic, and I didn't even get an 'I'm sorry.' In the bathroom, the sensor light was full of dust, and there was something black on the round hole above the sink, I don't know what it was. I found it disgusting. I saw it as soon as I looked down and wiped it off myself.

I arrived in Datong on a whim and booked this hostel last minute. I stayed in the 12-bed dorm which is a large dorm with a small table and chairs, lockers, a sink to brush your teeth/wash your face and a private bathroom (with a hot water shower and toilet). The beds were comfy and have curtains and the airconditioning is strong. WiFi works well too. The dorm and the bathroom are cleaned every day. The hostel provides face towels, earplugs, toothbrushes and toilet paper. There is a comfortable lounge area just outside of the dorms. It is really a great hostel, but there is one negative aspect, the private bathroom: the glass is semi-see through (which isn’t too bad since there are just women in the room), but it lets through all the noise and light. So when somebody goes to the toilet and turns on the light the whole room lights up which even with the curtains closed will disturb your sleep. Also, the toilet flush is very loud so every time somebody flushes the toilet it can be heard through the entire room which again disturbs sleep. If you’re a deep sleeper or don’t mind wearing ear plugs then I can definitely recommend the hostel!

The hotel is conveniently located just outside the old city, and the pickup point for day tours is also very close. The decor is very new and the facilities are good. They provide complimentary fruit every day and unlimited bottled water. However, the underfloor heating was too strong, and it felt a bit stiflingly hot in the room. 😳

The room was clean and bright, and the zero-pressure mattress was incredibly comfortable. The smart facilities were a nice touch. I loved the claw machine in the lobby, and the game coins left as a room surprise were a lot of fun. The breakfast had a great variety, and the local lamb offal soup and knife-cut noodles were delicious. The free laundry room and Hanfu experience were unexpected bonuses. The service was attentive, the location was convenient, and it offered excellent value for money. Definitely worth returning!

Chose this newly opened Cat's Horizon for my trip and it was a great choice! No regrets here. The environment is excellent, with a spacious and bright lobby and rooms. The decor details are really well done. The cleanliness is reassuring, and the service is on point; check-in was fast, and any issues were addressed promptly. Being a new establishment, it offers great value for money. Definitely my top pick for accommodation when traveling!

The hotel's location is superb; it's the perfect choice for exploring the old city, with all the sights and great food nearby. The hotel is very clean, the restaurant food is delicious, and the staff provide excellent service. As I was traveling alone and wanted to try local specialties, the staff kindly reduced the portion sizes, which was great – tasty and no waste! The room facilities are new, but there's a minor issue: the sink and shower are in separate areas, and the bath towels are kept under the sink. This makes it inconvenient to grab a towel after showering. If you take it into the shower beforehand, there's nowhere to hang it. Perhaps a hook could be added?

Every time I travel, I don’t have to think about staying at Haohai Hotel. I’m already a frequent visitor. I have to tell Zhang Chundi Zhang sister in advance and tell her that I have lived on a business trip. She has prepared everything for me and relieved fatigue. The foot bath bucket saffron is as comfortable as at home. Disposable slippers... The clothes are dirty and help wash, very comfortable, although the hotel is old, the location is very convenient, a few minutes away from the net red store Kaige, Zini 369, the hotel is clean and tidy, no smell, the parking lot is very convenient, and free, I chose to live here for several years, The service concept of the hotel is very good, the service of Sister Zhang is impeccable, perfect and perfect at the same time, He Director and Wang Hongxia at the front desk, Xiao Chen is also very good thank you

Xiaoyun and Xiaohui at the front desk provided excellent service, helping with our luggage. The breakfast selection was plentiful and the hotel was clean. Highly recommended! The hotel was fantastic, exceeding my expectations.

Highly recommend the Jianguo Puyin Hotel Yongtai branch! My stay exceeded expectations ✨ The front desk staff were beautiful, warm, and polite, making the check-in process efficient and pleasant. The hotel also offers complimentary self-service laundry, which is super convenient for travelers. The biggest surprise was the new Chinese Zen-inspired environment – it was quiet and elegant, and the service was attentive and thoughtful. It's perfect for adults to relax while kids can study without distraction. This is definitely my top choice for accommodation when visiting Datong, and I'll be staying here again next time!

Had excellent stay at this hotel. Room was very clean and modern, with all amenities. Breakfast is abundant. Premises are also modern. Hotel has perfect location, 10 mins from high speed train station and 5 mins from old city. A special thank to Jing from the front desk who was extremely kind and helpful and gave lots of tips and advise. Thank you!!!
