Hotels in Datong South Railway Station/Fantawild Adventure, Datong

I chose this hotel because it is just a twenty minute walk north of Datong South Station. It is right next to Fantawild amusement park, so is a good choice for families (Most of the guests were families with young kids). Everything inside the hotel is brand new. One of the hosts at reception was exceptional, and she not only offered wonderful device and care to me but also to every guest I saw her interacting with (I didn't learn her name, alas). One interesting note: I stayed there on a Friday and Saturday night, and there was a firework show on both evenings in Fanatwild next door. The booming sound startled me at first, but I quickly realized what it was.

I did a lot of research before choosing Datong Holiday Inn, and I was not disappointed! Convenient transportation and parking, you can park on the ground or underground. The breakfast was rich and delicious, and the staff were warm and attentive. The facilities and equipment are brand new, and the decoration style is also my favorite type. When checking in, I asked the front desk lady about fun places nearby and she enthusiastically gave me suggestions. Next time I come to Datong, I will definitely stay here again!

This is a hidden gem of a hotel nestled in the ancient city. Its ambiance is exquisitely classical and elegant, truly steeped in old-world charm. I was completely captivated the moment I stepped inside. The rooms are also impeccably equipped and maintained. Every staff member is incredibly warm and friendly; they welcome you in and see you off with genuine, beaming smiles. It's absolutely wonderful! I'll definitely be back to stay here on my next visit! 👍

Had a very pleasant stay for two nights. The hotel lives up to it reputation. I have stayed at the same hotel in Europe in the past, and it continues to maintain its star quality in terms of courtesy, cleanliness, amenities, and response time should you make a special request. A minibar in every room in the future would be nice. The location is great, as some of the attractions are within 5 kilometers. However, not many dining options within walking distance.

Hygiene: The sanitation is very good, the room is clean and tidy, and the bedding is very clean. The room is not only clean overall, but also meticulously cleaned in every detail. Service: Everyone is very enthusiastic and will answer your questions promptly and enthusiastically. It is very reassuring to bring your children with you, and you don't have to worry about them getting lost. Location: The transportation here is convenient, with easy access to all directions and easy travel. It is close to Fantawild and the ancient city. Decoration: The hotel is newly opened, and everything is very new. The washing machine and dryer are very convenient.

We were warmly greeted by friendly staff upon arrival, making us feel welcome right away. The check-in process was quick and smooth, and the team went the extra mile to help us register on their app as we are foreigners, ensuring we could easily access Wi-Fi and contact them if needed. We had called ahead to request a humidifier and air purifier, and were pleased to find them already prepared in our room when we checked in. The room itself was spacious, impeccably clean, and very comfortable. The shower had excellent water pressure, and the inclusion of an electric toilet with a heated seat was a thoughtful touch, especially during the winter season. Throughout our stay, every staff member we encountered was genuinely helpful and sincere in their service, always making sure we were well taken care of. We initially planned to stay from 6/12/24 to 8/12/24 but felt so at home that we decided to extend our stay for an additional two days. A big thank you to the team at Mecure Hotel for their exceptional service and attention to detail. Me and my Husband had agreed this is best hotel in our 17 days China trip. We had a fantastic stay and look forward to returning in the future. Great job!

Cool Hotel, with everything needed for a relaxed stay. The location is perfect for reaching the old town and very close to the location where tours depart. I didn’t use the AC as it was not that hot these days, just kept the window open and was really relaxing. The self laundering service is good, but might me full on peak hours. Front desk allowed for a smooth check in, I speak Chinese so I cannot assess the English level.

I didn't expect that I could book a fake Crown in Datong, but it is indeed a five-star hotel with a high rating and ranking in OTA. The price is super cost-effective, less than 400 including breakfast for two. The overall hardware facilities are not advanced enough, but the service is quite good overall. There are many staff at the front desk, and the reception is also very considerate. There is even a night bed service, and Tremella soup and mineral water are provided in a timely and enthusiastic manner. I would like to praise Zhang Qingyu from the housekeeping department. The breakfast is indeed as rich as described in the reviews, especially the knife-cut noodles taste good, and you can also blanch vegetables, have Mongolian milk tea to drink, and the mutton steamed buns taste good!

This newly opened hotel is a bit far from the ancient city, making travel without a car somewhat challenging. Pros: The room was well-equipped, with smart controls for the lights, toilet, curtains, TV, and WiFi. The 1.8-meter bed was very comfortable. Cons: Check-in was supposed to be at 2 p.m., but we arrived at 5 p.m. and couldn't check in on time. We were lucky to only have a 20-minute wait at the front desk. We chatted with other guests checking in, who had been waiting for over an hour. One side of the room faced an unfinished building with construction still underway on the first floor, and the other side faced the road. Because it's a new hotel, the smell of formaldehyde was very strong throughout the hotel and room. Perhaps I'm sensitive to it, as my throat started to irritate soon after I checked in. I contacted the front desk, who was very helpful, but couldn't resolve the issue. (The hotel didn't have a temporary mobile air purifier, and the windows couldn't be fully opened; they had to be pushed forward slightly. Because they have smart curtains, I had to open the curtains at night to let the odor out.) Travelers with children or those in poor health are advised to exercise caution when choosing this hotel; after all, health is paramount. The hotel is using us tourists as air purifiers 😪. During the busy breakfast period, the food supply was limited. The two wait staff members in the restaurant, one cooking noodles and the other serving and cleaning, were completely overwhelmed, resulting in a somewhat messy and disorganized dining environment. Summary: Although this is a newly opened hotel, it's still under the Home Inn umbrella, so they should be more thoughtful and flexible. While the hardware is complete, shouldn't the software also be improved, including staffing and formaldehyde containment? Perhaps they should also provide air purifiers for temporary use. After all, it's not yet the peak travel season for the May Day holiday. If they can't even handle the holidays now, what will they do? This is a sincere suggestion, and I hope the hotel will improve.

I have always had a good impression of Lavande, and this time Lavande in Datong is also satisfactory. The bed was very comfortable and the environment was nice. There is parking lot. Because I drove there, it was very convenient to go anywhere.
